Well, yeah. It is the collection of the universe's best baseball players.

In this dimension of reality anyway.

The Rockies have been my second favorite team since I was little. I really want them to take it.

And I really want them to take it in 4 so I can collect on those 20:1 odds

The way out is through

I was a Boston fan for a long time... then they won the series and turned into the Yankees. Massive payroll, bad attitude fans... actually, now that I think about it, I've always hated the Yankees, but never really had a problem with the fans, since they tend to be very knowledgeable, so the Sox are actually worse than the Yankees right now.

Even still, I couldn't care less about the Rockies, they're still just some dumb expansion team in my eyes (even though I know that's not really the case any longer)... so I'm kinda rooting for the Sox from the closet.

Agreed! Except I was never a Boston fan, and I hope the Rockies win because I work with a bunch of Massholes (and bandwagon jumping idiots), and I am tired of hearing "Lets go Red Sox" every day!

Down 2-0, the Rockies are even bigger underdogs now than ever. I think it's over for the Rockies, they're just happy to be there.

All I have to add to any World Series threads, is the fact that I'm VERY glad I got a chance to see my team win the pennant once in my lifetime... since they only do it about once every hundred years or so.

Baseball is another reason the rest of the world hates the U.S.

There are plenty of other nations that have organized baseball and yet we have the gall to call it the "WORLD" series.

Little league invites everyone to play. Even the competitive "pageant" community recognizes there is more than just the U.S.. Heck, they even recognize the possibility that life forms from other galaxies might want to participate.

To paraphrase a truly great actor and President (Not to be confused with a truly great actor and Governator): 'Mr. Selig, tear down this wall!'

To be fair, it's been the World Series since we were basically half of the known world.

I was largely kidding and that was really a tongue in check post and don't want to derail this thread, but since you brought it up...

Known to whom? It is that sort of presumptuous elitist intolerant bigoted thinking that causes the distrust, dislike and hate. Just because some asshole in a funny hat with syphilis hasn't sailed his boat into your harbor and shoved a flag in the sand in the name of his deity and leader doesn't mean you don't exist.

You can't claim to have discovered something if there are already members of your own species living there.

And how convenient to think that your religious beliefs that have only been around for a millennium or two supercede those of your own European ancestors as well as the beliefs of indigenous peoples of other lands who also predate your's.

In short... It is baby jebus that is ruining autocross.

Okay, can you guys stop putting your tongues in each others cheeks and lets get on with baseball.

Its called the world series because obviously god only cares about white people and christians, and therefore the US can be considered the world.

Also, we let Canadians play sometimes, even if they are maple leaf eating commies.
