Thats too bad. I think it was the best sporting event - most significant and most exciting - that I've ever seen. I can't think of an event to beat it.

It was pretty awesome. It probably ranks third or so for me. The only events I can think of that definitely beat it are Federer v. Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon finals and Federer v. Roddick in the finals of 2009 Wimbledon, but I'm a tennis guy (and Federer fanboy).

That makes sense to me. It's hard to say what would have happened otherwise though.

juliets wrote:That was worth staying up for!

Absolutely!

Woo! :yay:

I think this is the best Game 7 we could have asked for.

So we also started going occasionally for Interleague series since I am all National League.

Plus Seattle is my favorite American city, so there's that.

Oh okay, that makes sense!

I need to find a second ball team. I just have the Reds, and I won't be able to root them on in the playoffs for quite some time I think.

Why the Mariners, S~V~S? Just curious.

Come on, Cubs! Knock those Dodgers out.

Will the Cubs win the world series?!!?!?!?!?!

I'm not a Cubs fan, but I'm rooting for them.

Lol.

I know, right? I don't even know that much about baseball (but I'm voluntarily learning), but I saw Cueto on the Royals and was like... 'Hey! That's our guy!'

I'm going to predict a Mets win tonight. Hopefully it happens.

So who's going to take it? NYM or KC? Predictions?

Poor Cubbies.

Still early though.

That'd be nice too, and I'm actively rooting for them over their opponents, but I won't be heartbroken by either loss.

I haven't become particularly attached to either team yet, but I'd still root for them over most other teams.

YES!

I'm not a huge Cubs fan because they're in the same division as the Reds, but I really want this to happen. Especially because of Back to the Future II, but even without that it'd be nice to see the Cubs end their World Series drought.

G-Man wrote:The Cubs are now locked into a playoff spot, so Back to the Future Part 2 could still be half right!

Wouldn't that be something? I'm not even a Cubs fan and I hope it happens.

This thread should be renamed the "Apparently only Metalmarsh cares about Baseball so here's a bunch of posts where he talks to himself" thread.
