Okay…I was wrong about having to go back to Chicago, but the "where" is not important...

It's all about getting those rings! :cheesy2:

GO  DODGERS! :clap2:

Oh, the Cubbies will work their magic against your bullpen  :crazy2:

The Dodgers are going to down faster than me on a Friday night at the ABS!  :cheesy2:

But seriously, Kershaw is a beast. We have to tap into your bullpen early for the Cubbies to win Game 6. Thank god I don't live near Wrigleyville cause it will be a hot fucking mess when they win the pennant  :cheers:

Only the USA could have a tournament called "world series" which is limited to the USA and Canada. That's a pretty small "world"  :haha:

Wrong…

The "World Series" sees players of all nationalities who come from all parts of the globe!

[farkme]

You might have players from around the world, but the teams allowed to compete are limited to North American ones.

The World Series match the champions of the National League and The American League.

http://www.howbaseballworks.com/WorldSeries.htm

"Despite its name, the World Series remains solely the championship of the major-league baseball teams in the United States and Canada, although MLB, its players, and North American media sometimes informally refer to World Series winners as "world champions of baseball".[43]"

That's true.

It's a "Major League Baseball" (MLB) tournament, open to all league members.

And so you should, and I guess I deserve that bit of “salt” added to my “wound.”

Man–-talk about “going down in flames!”

Well, enjoy it…I know I would.

[chiwut]

That was the most nerve wracking, gut wrenching, roller coaster of a game last night. So proud of the Cubs! Especially my husband, Ben
Zobrist (omg I wish right?).

Although would totally bang

Joe Maddon, David Ross and/or Jon Lester in a heartbeat.

Alright, alright, alright…

Go ahead and wave the flag.

That sucks!

I thought for sure after they tied it, that Cleveland was going to "wake" the Cubs up from that dream!

Booo…

We'll just have to "win for Vin" next year...besides, it's football season now! (LOL)…

GO  CHIEFS! :cheers:

The Bears are beyond help if they keep clinging onto Cutler to be the savior of the team.  :cheesy2: Oh well  :crazy2: As long as I don't have to hear the words Tom Brady, NE Patriots, and Superbowl mentioned in the same sentence I am all good on football.

Now to catch up on Big 10/NCAA Women's VB now that baseball season is done  :cheers:

Well…it definitely wasn't how I wanted the season to end but there's still reason to celebrate :)...

Dave Roberts named National League Manager of the Year for 2016!

Corey Seager named National League Rookie of the Year for 2016!

GO  DODGERS! :cheesy2:

Alright–the season half over--I’ve waited long enough to start chattering about my team–my Dodgers!

Yeah, Colorado and Arizona thought they’d be contenders in the NL West–until they played us right before the All Star break. Prior to that, it was pretty much us in 3rd place--behind those two battling over 1st place.

Things changing dramatically with us sweeping them in the final series of games before the break--they’re now more than 10 games behind us. The 2 sweeps--part of our league leading 13 sweeps so far this season.

Regarding that other team in the West, just across the bay from where I live–the team many thought would be the “best in the West”--well they picked up where they left off at the end of last season. They’re still on that record-breaking run going the wrong direction that they started right after last season’s All Star break, and they’re currently more than 30 games behind us.

As for the rest of the league--last season’s contenders and champs, and even this season’s Astros. Baseball’s best for practically the whole first half, until they too were passed by us--the only team with 60 wins going into the break--and now the only team currently in the 70’s with wins.

Fortunately, we didn’t do what the Giants did last season, and the gap between us and everybody else just keeps getting wider with this record-breaking season we’re having and the record-setting pace we’re on.

Go Dodgers! :cheers:
