Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

If the Dodgers get eliminated, I'm rooting for whomever comes out of the American League, that's for sure.

Had no idea Shane Victorino was from Hawaii: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Shane-Victorino-s-abiding-love-for-Spam-dish-ang?urn=mlb,115113

Dodgers just about done, trailing 5-1 in the bottom of the 7th. :puppydog:

BoSox score eight runs in the last three innings to stave off elimination, winning, 8-7... :shocked:

Now it's back to Tampa Bay for game six. :sweat:

Wow. :sweat:

It's looking like a repeat of last season against the Indians. :shocked:

Boston runs out of miracles and loses, 3-1, to the Rays.

It's the Rays vs. the Phillies in the World Series.



GO RAYS!!!!!!!!! :victory: :woot: :dancing: :applaud:

After being in Tampa for the weekend with family, I've become a Rays fan :mrgreen:

Haha, exactly :doh:
Gotta root someone on and there was no way it was going to be the Red Sox or the Phillies. :bleh:

Funny, how the 2 teams the nation wanted in the WS both have been booted. I admit, Dodgers/RedSox would've been more exciting than Phillies/Devil!Rays ....... but at least now Manny can't get a ring if LA or BOSTON!!! had won it all. :rolleyes:

Well for sure not the Phillies. :victory:

World Series starts tonight, I guess AD will cheering for Tampa Bay and their pitcher Grant Balfour from Sydney [/list:u][image][/list:u] This quote from Rays backup catcher Shawn Riggans about Balfour:"When I first met him,h Riggans said, gI couldnft understand him. Ifd ask him nine times to repeat himself; Ifm sure he wanted to choke the hell out of me. (Troy) Percival, he canft understand the guyfs strong Australian accent, either. But Ifve sat in the bullpen with him all year, so Ifm getting there. Hefs hilarious. He says some of the funniest things."[/list:u]

GO RAYS!!!! :victory: :applaud: :woot:

Yow, I Totally forgot about today's game... :sweat:

Phillies lead 3-2 in the 8th. :sweat:

Ah, I didn't have any time to watch it tonight. I suppose it's probably over by now...

damn, Phillies ended up winning 3-2 :shamefulcry: Oh well, plenty more games to beat them :mrgreen:

Ah, never heard of him. :ashamed:

The only baseball news we get on free-to-air TV here is the yakyuu on the NHK news on the SBS news channel. There's probably some on pay TV, but I don't have pay TV :hehe:
