I just read a couple of articles that said the rain delay helped chicago regroup and go on to win.

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.Ricochet wrote:I watched 6 innings of Game 6, but couldn't watch the decider, because early school in the morning.

Re: All Things MLB
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).juliets wrote:Thats too bad.

I'd put it up there with the Super Bowl XLII (2007) when the Giants shocked the world and beat the undefeated and unstoppable Patriots. That was a heck of a game too.juliets wrote:Thats too bad.

But the Cubs coming back from down 3 games to 1, that was something special.

It really is. He's been here since I was 11 years old. That's more than half of my lifetime. It's going to take a while to get used to this. But I'm pretty excited for this season, and it's nice that they'll be able to use the DH spot to let guys rest every so often. And I'm super excited for this season. The Sox are loaded with young talent and might have the best starting rotation in the AL. If Andrew Benintendi isn't Rookie of the Year, I'll eat my shoe.S~V~S wrote:It's hard to conceive of baseball without Big Papi for sure.

Murrica won the WBC last night. I was kind of rooting for Puerto Rico, they seemed to be having a lot of fun. But I like Marcus Stroman a lot so it was cool to see him dominate on that stage. Now I'm scared.

Re: All Things MLB
I almost always root for the teams from the islands. One good ball player can raise the standard of living of entire villages in the DR, for instance, so I like to see those guys make it to the bigs. Years ago before he became controversial, from time to time you used to see Jose Reyes' whole family, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews out and about on excursions in the NY area and they all looked so happy.
It is my understanding that David Ortiz puts tremendous amounts of $$ into the DR economy, and Pedro Martinez not only pays to have whole villages upgraded, he pitches in on the building himself.

Re: All Things MLB
Yeah they've both got good reputations here as guys who give a lot back to the DR. I've been reading up on what life is like for prospects from the DR latsly and it makes me root for those guys so much harder. It's not just about playing a game to them, it's about lifting their families or entire communities out of poverty.
And there have been stories over the last week about how crime rates in Puerto Rico were down as their team went on this run, so that was cool. Either way, it seems this tournament was a big success around the world. With that and the World Series last year, baseball finally seems to be on the rise again, and I'm all for that.

Re: All Things MLB
Yes. I believe in Houston this year. That lineup is nuts, their top two starters can match up with anyone, and they're playing for a city that needs good news bad.
If the Cubs lose tonight, all four of the teams I was rooting for in the Division Series will be eliminated.

Yeah, Houston is probably my top team now, even though I don't care about baseball.
1. Houston
2. Cubs
3. Yankees or Dodgers
I'm a certified New York and California hater for the most part.

Re: All Things MLB
If the Yankees win I'm going to have bury my head in sand for ~6 months. I can stomach a Dodgers win only because of Rich Hill. I'll always root for the Cubs as my #2 team, but Houston has the most going for them this year. They've got a pair borderline Hall of Fame veterans with a combined 0 World Series titles between them (Beltran and Verlander), so it would be cool to see them win it. Plus Jose Altuve is the most exciting player in baseball. And then there's the city of Houston itself right now. Go Astros.
