Baseball, right?

Yep

Baseball has been interfering with my Simpsons viewing schedule.

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-19-2005, 09:00 PM

What about the Astros?

Is it similar to the White Sox?

DustCropper · 10-19-2005, 09:15 PM

I normally don't enjoy baseball, or most other ball sports for that matter, but the Houston Astros is a special team to me. Since I was born I've been visiting my family in Houston Texas every summer, and every summer I would watch the Astros lose. I've grown fairly attached to the team and I'm really happy to see them in the world series. As far as I know they've never made it this far.

So let's hear it for the Astros! Woo!

(I don't know any of these people)

I'm proud of the Astros, and I'm glad a Texas team is going to the World Series. However...I was born in Houston. It's a crap city compared to Dallas. Period. The end.

Needless to say I'm a quasi-native Chicagoan. May the best team win, beeyatch.

It'll be the White Sox for me - I'm from Illinois originally.

Fine. But you guys are going down. Beeyatch.

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-19-2005, 09:41 PM

Famous last words. Beeyatch.

(and I've never even been interested in sports, but I still root for my home teams. lol)

True. But at least it isn't home to Walker Texas Ranger.

smashing · 10-19-2005, 09:51 PM

Hmm... which team will be more disappointed when they lose the series? White Sox (whose last WS victory came in 1917) or Astros (who have never been in a World Series at all!)

I would probably not watch it at all though. Dominant pitching on both side, equate to low scoring series, i.e. not much of a highlight. Then again, let's hope Doug Eddings get into the act again.

LOL. Good point. There was actually a girl I was good friends with who was in an episode of Walker Texas Ranger years and years ago. Then she became a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader two years ago. And now...I don't know what the hell she does. But anyhow, Walker Texas Ranger sucks, I agree. Heh.

*Melanie68* · 10-19-2005, 09:56 PM

It's just nice to see teams that haven't been getting into the world series. Instead of yankees, yankees, yankees, blah, blah, blah....

Now if only the ~~Flubs~~Cubs would only stop imploding and get there.

You would say that wouldn't you... um, beeyatch.

I think this thread needs more Astros love.

(Again, I have no relation to this character)

Cubs looks pretty much like a contender, provided that the starting rotation could remain healthy, Derek Lee with his MVPish performance, Aramis Ramirez putting up another 30, and Nomar Garciappara finally suiting up.

Baseball is lame Cricket like American Football is lame Rugby.
