Detroit Tigers

For your team, yes. For the real baseball teams, it's just getting going.

Our team was a little tired this year from

Winning the World Series the previous 2 out of 3 years!!!

Winning the World Series the previous 2 out of 3 years!!!

And of course having the greatest multiple comebacks last season in the playoffs in the history of baseball...

The San Francisco Giants won six elimination games with their backs to the wall in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and then went on to beat the team that had spanked the Yankees in four straight...

You can't expect a team to do what no other team ever did before every year...

They're just taking a break for some juice

Yawn -- my Sox were the first team of the 21st Century to win multiple World Series Championships, so been there, done that, and STILL PLAYING for a return to the WS this year.

See you Giants fans in April . . . . meanwhile the rest of us grownups will be watching more great baseball

Oh yeah... that's right!

I forgot that Boston had been in the World Series in 1918 and soon after in 2004...

Those were the year they won the Series, Joe. They made it in 1946, 1967, 1975 and 1986. Being a Giants fan does not mean you have to be a Red Sox hater. Can't we all just get along?

That's a valid point Long Run...

Afterall, it's not like the Red Sox are the Dodgers....

I don't hate the Red Sox. I was responding to Guinevere's post where she didn't consider the SF Giants to be a 'real team' and their fans are not 'grownups'.

You should have directed your post at Guinevere. She started it.....

Well, those were *some* of the years they won the Series --- 7 times in total. Precisely the same number of times the Giants won the Series . . . .


As for "starting it" the yawns coming from the West Coast seem to be the beginning of the baseball snark . . . .

[Joe Guy]

Actually, I like the Redsox.

It's their fans that have questionable character....

[Guinevere]

Leyland takes the blame for not reminding the pitcher that he doesn't want to get beat by Mr. Ortiz.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Still, the Tigers will prevail in 7.

Bet the house.

I'll be sleeping comfortably in my house tonight - once the celebratory fireworks end and the car horns settle down.

What was it I said earlier? Oh yes, GO SOX, Congrats on their 3rd pennant and trip to the World Series in the last decade!!!!!!!!

What the hell sport is this? World series? How many countries are participating? I assume at least 8 or more, or the title 'World series' is meaningless. Also likely that watching paint dry or cricket is morn entertaining.

[MajGenl.Meade]

It's a small world after all

There are at least five countries involved!

[Joe Guy]

Dominican Republic, Venezula, Cuba, Mexico and the U.S.....

[Jarlaxle]

You forgot Canada. (Ryan Dempster is Canadian.)

[Crackpot]

So are the bluejays

[Jarlaxle]

But they aren't in the playoffs!

Exactly, good riddance to those money waggers.
