I vaguely remember that scene from that movie... Then again, it was a movie.

Fact is stranger than fiction. :beaten:

Game 6 rained out... Angels get a reprieve from being eliminated. :beaten:

Yankees eliminate the Angels, 5-2.

It'll be a Yankees-Phillies World Series.

Who are you rooting for b-kun? Or should I even ask? :sweat:

I'll root for the Yankees, but I think that the Phillies will win. :D

Between those two teams, I'll go with the Yanks. :victory:

Hmmm interesting! Are they going to call this the Amtrak Series? Since the two cities in the World Series are only a couple of hours away from each other by train.

As for me, I don't have a rooting interest one way or the other, but ex-Dodger Chan Ho Park plays for the Phillies, his career is about over, I'd like to see him on the winning side. :victory:

I thought it'd be the New Jersey Turnpike Series. :D

Hi GM! :wave: Good reason to want the Phillies to win! :woot:

Yeah that is a good name too! I chose the train themed series name because they use the Subway Series when the Mets play the Yanks.

Yeah, that would be nice... But the Phillies repeating...? :bleh:

I heard on the news this morning that the Vegas odd makers are giving the Yanks 2 to 1 odds over the Phillies. Really? I didn't realize the Yanks were favored.

The Phillies arrived by train this morning (or was it yesterday?) at NYC's Penn Station and I think one person in the crowd applauded them. Brave soul! :hehe:

Hey bmwracer you were right! :applaud: They are calling it The Turnpike Series! :woot:

LOL... And I know nothing about that area of the country... It was just a guess. :hehe:

Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee dominates the Yankees, winning 6-1.

29 Oct 2009, 21:47 #2794

1 down, 3 to go!! :victory:

Yankees even up the series with the Phillies, 3-1.

On to Philly for the next three games, starting Saturday. :sweat:

It is good to have a World Series that isn't a sweep for one team! :D Helps those stadium peanuts, hot dog and beer vendors make more money. :drink: The next game in Philly is on Halloween! Now this should be fun! :woot: :dancing: Plus it is Daylight Saving Time this weekend so the teams will gain an hour's sleep for Sunday's game. :sleep:

The Phillies lost game 2 in both previous series and then went on to win all the rest. Maybe this is a pattern.

I was thinking the same.... Nooooo.... :sweat:

Chan Ho Park got into Game 2 and gave up a hit for a run.

Meanwhile, in Japan, , ,

The Giants win game 1 of the Japan Series, beating Nippon Ham 4-2.

Going to be hard for Nippon Ham without Darvish. :sweat:

Ham? Is that really their name? Do they have a pig as a mascot?
