Re: world series
Baseball is more boring to me than soccer. I used to love baseball but I can't get myself to watch a game anymore. I watched from the 8th till the end last night and I kept getting angry that the game wouldn't end.

Was it an amazing comeback? Absolutely. I'm not disagreeing with that at all. I just don't think it's the greatest game ever.

Re: world series
Fortunately, i was at game 6 in '91. The loudest i have ever heard the dome. It took an hour and a half just to get out of the hallway to the wind tunnel. I still get goose bumps listening to the replays of that game. Last night was a "great ending", by no way a great game. 5 combined errors. The Cardinals couldn't even find grass for 5 innings. Call me a homer but , game 6 '91 when Kirby stole the show beats that one. On the 6pm espn yesterday, they had the Twins game 6 number two, and the Carlton Fisk home run number one.

Re: world series
Maybe I am not the purist others are, but it was good players who were having a hard time under pressure. It was a back and forth game, the cards came back from being down 5 times I think. every mistake and punch the took, they were able to counter punch. I loved carps 1-0 win over Halladay in the first round, but scoring runs and hits and watching players make and attempt plays is more compelling and exciting then a 2 hitter. I would love Carp to shut down the Rangers, but last night was something special. A lot of records and 1st evers happened.

Re: world series
I found last nights game hard to watch. Sloppy play should have no place in the world series and that is what last nights game was, sloppy. Exciting? I suppose but only as a consequence of poor play. I want to see a well played game, score doesn't really matter, in most instances the well played games are low scoring and each team uses only 1 or 2 pitchers. I thought we might see a great series but instead we have seen a couple of great games and some really bad baseball both on the field and in the dugout.
Hoping for a much better played game tonight, if not, I'll probably turn the channel.

Hard to say that a 1-0 game is more exciting than an 10-9 game where the home team came back with 2 in the 9th to tie it and two in the 10th to tie it, then its a walk off in the 11th. i realize 87 and 91 are all twin fans have to cheer about but COME ON MAN. I hope Chris Carter didnt mind me steeling his line. : )

Best ever? Maybe....maybe not, forever is a long time, and well I assume you haven't seen every World Series game.
You obviously have a problem with Joe Buck, but to say that is a dick move. It's his FATHER for God's sake.
I do have a problem with Joe Buck, it's called him being a terrible, terrible announcer and living off his last name. I'm not the only one that has an issue with him.

I think you can tell Joe Buck to go F himself no matter what he does. I don't care if he's feeding homeless people on Thanksgiving, he can go F himself.

After Freese hit his walk-off last night, Joe Buck said the exact same thing. After he said it there was several seconds of silence. Can't help but think he was thinking of his late father during this time. Pretty cool moment if you ask me.
