As I try to be true to my word, I am going to root for the Rangers. But I wont be disappointed regardless of who wins cuz I am proud of both of these teams.

Who thought, way back in April, that either would get this far? The Rangers are under new baseball people ownership and have never won or I believe been to a WS. The Giants are a rejuvenated, remade team who havent won a WS since The Last Supper. Neither seems to have well known superstars but both have very scrappy, young players, playing exceptional ball who just don't know the meaning of quit. Now THATS BASEBALL!

I'm done.

Yup! SO BASEBALL!! And I love it that both teams are without super stars that always get the press. And they play as a team because of this, I think. These guys remind me of the game of long ago. Yet, look at all the young talent! LOL.. Yes, scrappers!

Mostly, I just want to enjoy watching the WS and I think these two teams will give us a good series. Can't wait!!! I am going to try and get a peek at ATT&T Park and take a pic! And i sure hope the rains we had for a few days doesn't return! yeah, Msdemeanor is right- should not be played so late in October/November!

I haven't been this excited for a WS in a long time! I do like to see the Red Sox play in it and like the rivalry with the Yankees! Yanno- that is LONG time rivalry!! Here, in CA, the giants and Dodgers are big rivals in the national League- the Southern vs. Northern California baseball rivalry. yikes, i'm a national League fan i9n the main.C

AH!!! Way KEWL!!!

I'm SOOOOOO excited about the World Series! Just what I needed.... have a lot going on and stressed. So, I am kind of needing a Baseball Zen thang! Hoping one of my Great Nephews that lives in San Jose now will come up for a visit and watch with me. He used to pitch in school. Plus, my Frog Dog wants to be the Giants short-stop eventually... very serious about getting to those ground balls... 'course, he doesn't have far to go from the ground to his paws.....

This is fun having a basebal thread during the World Series! I always thought it was just you and the Mister that was into it!

but... but... Diva seems to be a fan of baseball, complete with pom-poms! Kobe is into it.... KEWL!!

I really don't have a team in this fight, but I am leaning sentimentally toward the Giants. I think because two former Tigers play for them.

MissItalianDiva · 10-27-2010, 09:24 PM

I am really happy the Giants are winning BUT come on Rangers can you at least act like a professional team and challenge us a little bit. This game might be the most boring World Series game yet.....I am thinking this is going to be a straight walk for the Giants

bigbutchmistie · 10-27-2010, 09:24 PM

Now I wasnt expecting the Rangers to play like the Cowboys

Giants are doing good THIS game buy dont count the Rangers out yet. They totally suck tonight yes, but the Giants winning the series? ONLY and ONLY if Rangers play all their games like tonight... But I dont see that happening

And btw Im only a bandwagon fan.. Normally dont like baseball

MissItalianDiva · 10-27-2010, 09:28 PM

LOL BBM....your Rangers only looked good against the Yanks cause ....well enough said right! The Giants are a different caliber...one the Rangers can't hang with

Kobi · 10-27-2010, 10:23 PM

12 pitchers, 18 runs, 25 hits?

Kobi tells self....its just one game. Chalk it up to World Series jitters.

Lets just keep a wee bit of perspective here. The collective stadium was holding its breath when the Rangers took a 2-0 lead by the second inning and Lincecum was looking like he would rather be getting a haircut than pitching.

Then when the Giants were able to unravel Cliff Lee, you all were able to suck in some air.....blue is not a pretty color on Giant fans.

Then again, those pesky little Rangers still didnt lay down and roll over. They just kept plugging away.

Also remember that the Rangers have to play by National league rules for a few games and it is an adjustment. Heck if Guerrero HAS to play right field rather than DH, he should at least be entitled to use a motorized scooter out there. Under the Americans With Disabilties Act, it is a reasonable accomodation.

Gawd, I move better than he does even after I dislocate my back.

Ok I have totally forgotten where I was going with this......

Oh yeah, the Giants are a different caliber. But I think it was really sweet of the Rangers to let them win ONE just so they know what its like to play with the big boys.

Ok if you dont get my warped sense of humor, feel free to send me a pm. Otherwise, LETS PLAY BALL!

AtLast · 10-28-2010, 04:02 PM

Of course I'm jazzed about last night's game.... but, it was only the first game of a 7 game series....

Taking it one game at a time..... kind of hope it goes all 7. I just enjoy the game!
GO GIANTS!!!

MsDemeanor · 10-28-2010, 08:52 PM

WTF kind of idiot manager lets a guy stay on the mound in the bottom of the 8th after they walk four players in a row, including walking in two runs??!!!!?!!??

Thank goodness it's the OTHER team !!!
