Is it just me or is mlb BSin the fans with this business of not juicing the *****? Really, 24 runs on 25 hits? Been basically the same the last 3 games. Almost all hits equate to homeruns.

An article about this.

"World Series" is bs for certain. North American series for sure, but world? What other countries on the planet participate?

BangScreech4-4-2

Well, the ballplayers come from pretty much everywhere.

Fun71

And play on North American teams, in North American leagues.

The only thing more boring than playing baseball is watching baseball. It's hockey season, non stop action and they don't kneel during either national anthem.

BangScreech4-4-2

That seems like more of a football thing.

jaunty75

Oh my god. Give it a rest. It's only been called the World Series for 114 years. If any topic has been hashed to death, it's this one. You want to complain about the name of the event, bring it up 100 years ago.

Stanley Cup... Just sayin.

Fun71

So it has to be correct since it's been called that for so long, right?

oldcutlass

Its the only professional baseball playoff series in the world. Hence World Series... Oh yeah, Go Houston

Fun71

Ya might want to look into NPB - the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization. I think they are on this planet, too.

Yes. It's just plain silly to raise this issue now. It's been called the World Series for so long that that is the accepted name for it. Where were you in 1904 when this all began? Bring it up with those guys.

oldcutlass

No comparison

You sure are getting worked up about this. Who really gives a crap about grown men playing games anyway? I'm just pointing out that it's stupid to call it a world series when all of the teams are from one continent. Kinda like the Miss Universe pageant. What other worlds are represented there?

Fun71

The point is there are other baseball leagues on the planet.

jaunty75

Quite a lot of people do.

And I'm just pointing out that it's even more stupid to waste breath criticizing the name of the thing when it's had that name for more than a century.

BangScreech4-4-2

For that matter, who gives a crap about a bunch of smog-belching, gas-swilling old cars?

I love the smell of racing fuel

oldcutlass

Ummm...

Serious baseball fan here. But I don't take the World Serious

Fun71

Out of 195 countries in the world, only two have teams in this so-called "world series".
29 of the 30 teams are from the US; one is from Canada.
I laugh at how "worldly" this really is.

I miss the days of American Exceptionalism. We used to think we were the best, and the rest of the world kinda sucked. Now we are all enlightened and globalist and crap, and I think it's hurt us. I wish we could go back to being nationalists.

World Series.....hmm

A game invented in the UK that's only played by girls in this country.
Not being rude. Only factual.

BangScreech4-4-2

No, I'm pretty sure you're trolling. And according to your own signature line, you have no wisdom.

Bfg

There nothing more American than Baseball, Oldsmobile and Apple pie!

LondonCutlass

Jeez, I think some people here have had a sense of humour bypass.

BangScreech4-4-2

Show me the funny bits in your post and then maybe we can all have a good laugh instead of just you.
