Guest CharliePS Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Every pundit I read or heard last week confidently predicted a WS between the two best teams in baseball, the Phillies and Yankees. Today they will be covering their asses with the old bromide, "You never know what will happen in a short series." Instead, we have three winners from the traditional weaklings, the Central divisions, and the fourth from the anemic AL West. The media bosses must be cringing at the possibility of having to sell a WS between Milwaukee and Detroit: no big markets, no geographical diversity, and no-name players. Who will watch, especially if typical Upper Midwest autumn weather plays havoc with the schedule? Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 8, 2011 Members Posted October 8, 2011 I studied CharliePS' content going back one full year, and it appears that this is the first thread he has started. So no doubt he feels passionately about the subject. Just as my Yankees blew it, so too did the Phillies. They had Halladay and Cliff Lee, the latter fought hard for by the Yankees. Yet little good he did the Phillies when the prime time came. So it shows that money can't buy everything. I have no desire to watch the Texas Rangers play, and hardly more for the Tigers, despite growing up a Tiger fan. My whole family still is. As for Milwaukee and St.Louis, there's not much interest either. Tony LaRussa bored me a long time ago. One Milwaukee player, upon being interviewed by TV, said "Fuck Yeah," thus endearing himself to parents everywhere. So not much class there. Much has been made of Milwaukee pitcher Zach Greinke. Supposedly the Yankees didn't take him because he has mental problems dealing with the limelight. That's not going to help Milwaukee playing on national TV...unless the theory is bonkers, not the pitcher. Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Admittedly, i am not much of a sports fan usually.. *the most athleic thing I do is jump to conclusions.* But I was hoping my Diamondbacks would make it to the World Series.. PS...Congrats Charlie on losing your MER virginity.. who is gonna be next? Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Lucky did not research carefully enough. This is actually the SECOND thread I have started in the past year. Quote

Sorry, Charlie, but I am going to have to call you on that. Please cite the other thread. I went to your profile, clicked on find content, then saw the threads you participated in for the last year. This was the only one you had started since October 17, 2010. Virgins always like to claim some experience! Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted October 8, 2011 Members Posted October 8, 2011 Who will watch, especially if typical Upper Midwest autumn weather plays havoc with the schedule? I predict big ratings in Milwaukee and Detroit! I predict everyone else will be glued to the 'Housewives of Timbuktu'. Quote

Guest gcursor Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Im in Detroit and I do NOT watch sports. The only sports that I can stand watching are gymnastics (I would like to find somebody who can do a few backflips and then we oculd have sex...seriously!) or swimming. I also like anal bead horseshoes and g-spot bingo (for those of you who don't know, everytime you get a square filled on your card, you feel like you're getting f**ked or f**king (whichever you prefer)...of course getting a BINGO gives you a sensation similar to how you would feel after being with 5 guys for 8 hours non-stop.

Guest hitoallusa Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I should have paid attention to the threat title. I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Going back to my knitting. Quote

Guest hitoallusa Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Oh it's a typo. I should turn off the automatic spelling proof reader. It does that sometimes. Quote
