oldr--I don't know when the polo grounds was torn down, but I recall both the Mets and the Titans/Jets played there in the early-mid 60s (before Shea opened). I imagine it was around until the mid 60s.

Last game was 1963, it was torn down April-July, 1964.

I'm rooting for an all-avian World Series, myself.

Or, the alternative, a Black & Orange, Halloween Series!

That would work for me...

It would also mean that the games would all be played in two of the most beautifully designed parks in the league...

Impossible. Nice as Kaufman is, is does not compare with Fenway!

(Currently 3-1 KC, top of the third.)

[Lord Jim]

Orioles and Royals tied 4-4 in the 7th...

Giants/ Cards start Game 1 in about an hour...

I'm cooking up a big batch of fried wontons...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Too much good NCAA football to be bothered with a girlie sport like rounders

[Jarlaxle]

Orioles and Royals tied 4-4 in the 7th...

Giants/ Cards start Game 1 in about an hour...

I'm cooking up a big batch of fried wontons...

KC takes a 6-4 lead with 2 in the top of the 9th.

[wesw]

I guess I have to stop watching. they ve lost every game I ve watched for the last 3 yrs

[Lord Jim]

Giants up 3-0 in the bottom of the third...

I wouldn't write the Orioles off yet, but I have to say the Royals seem red hot...

They haven't been to the World Series since 1985, so maybe they're due...

[wesw]

we re due ourselves. time for me too say something crazy. maybe it ll change our luck.

here goes...

peter angelos has been a good owner the last few years.
that was hard to say...

[Lord Jim]

Giants take the series opener, 3-0.....

[BoSoxGal]

I hope the Giants trounce Cardinals.

[Lord Jim]

Orioles and Royals square off in Game 3 in about a half an hour... (I missed last night's Giants Cards Game 2, but getting a split on the road isn't that bad)

It's pretty much do or die time for the O's tonight...

They'd have to play like the 2012 Giants to come back from a three game deficit in the League Championship, and the chances of another team doing that in our lifetimes is not good...

[wesw]

don t make me go rubateaux on you!

isn t it rained out?

[MajGenl.Meade]

2004 LJ? Twice in the last 10 years... the odds ain't so bad.

[Lord Jim]

You're right Meade, I stand corrected...

(Of course the Red Sox didn't also come back from a 2-0 deficit in the divisional playoffs, like the Giants did in '12...)

[wesw]

that redsox comeback against the Yankees was the most beautiful thing I ve seen in baseball, excepting every orioles victory ever.

time for the orioles to break the curse of angelos disrespecting brooksie now...

Just remember: the Red Sox did it first.

[Jarlaxle]

You're right Meade, I stand corrected...

(Of course the Red Sox didn't also come back from a 2-0 deficit in the divisional playoffs, like the Giants did in '12...)

They were only the second to do that! (Seattle did it first--against the Yankees!)

[Lord Jim]

Giants up 4 zip after three...

[Lord Jim]

Well, they made it a little more exciting then it really needed to be...

After jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first, the Giants' bats went silent, and the Cardinals gradually clawed back to finally tie it up in the 7th...

But they finally pulled it out 5-4 in the 10th!

Giants lead the series, 2-1....
