1954. And none while in San Francisco, although they have gone to the WS three times: 1962, 1989, and ....2002 <-within 6-7 outs of the win.. :mecry:

Never ever liked any of the current NL teams, aside from the Padres, who appear to be going the way of the BoSox...

I think I've explained why I don't want any of the teams to win. I can see why the WS would make a great story (last win was in 1917??), but should they win, then the Giants would be one of the teams with the longest Series drought. :puppydog:

Wow! You guys really know your baseball history. I'm impressed! :applaud:

Supposed to have thunderstorms in NYC today. Lets hope the game gets rained out so the Bronx Boyz can rest up and get their circadians rhythms back in sync. :sweat: :victory:

Happy Saturday everybody! Hopefully, by the end of the day the hated Yankees will have been eliminated. Another Yogism: "You can observe a lot just by watching." :victory:

The history of baseball is fantastic... Lotsa great, great moments.

Ever see Ken Burns' series Baseball? It's terrific... Trying to get up the nerve to buy the DVD set (>$100)... :sweat:

Me too partially. Game 4 is going to cut into my Desperate Housewives watching time. :grumble: :sweat:

Last night on the news they said that Game 4 starts at 7:55 PM EDT. Another channel said 8:15 PM EDT on this morning's news. Make up your minds, already!!!! :bonk: :D

PS. They are going to have specialized and extra security at tonight's game due to NYC's recent subway terrorists threats. The threats were for this particular weekend. :sweat:

Time for another rainout, ne? :hehe:

Enna, you should consider getting a DVR (digital video recorder) that will allow you to record one show while watching another. Or get a second TV from someone you know and have both at the same time. :hehe:

And the time shifting?? Blame it on the TV networks. Having a rainout turns the already precarious schedule into a pile of doodoo.

Or just use her VCR.

She must have a VCR. Doesn't everyone? :headscratch:

Maybe I should start doing a rain dance! :woot: :D

It rained earlier today. It looks like the rain should hold up for tonight's Game 4. :sweat:

Yes good idea dochira. I have a 2nd and a 3rd TV. Not all hooked up to cable at the moment. And yes I do still have a VCR. Heck I just recently got a DVD player. I need to get a few indoor antenna 'cus I refuse to pay for extra cable hook ups and I don't feel like 'borrowing' cable for my other TVs. It is not that I am techno challenged so much as techno lazy!!!! :ashamed:


So true bmw about the TV time shifting due to the rain. It messes thing up for them. :grumble:

So isn't anyone gonna mention the Houston Astros beat the Atlanta Braves finally in the 18th inning with a score of 7-6???? :thumbsup:

Not from me. I hate both teams.

Yanks go ahead, 3-2 in the bottom of the 7th. :thumbsup:

18 innings to finish a baseball game....those extra 8 innings of baseball must've been boring :sweat:
