BellaireDrew 2 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 [x] drunk and disappointed after game oneBut still optimistic about the series, we lost game 1 to the Yanks and came back and won the series Link to post Share on other sites
slink 1 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Rooting for the Rangers so they get a WS victory out of their system. At least they didn't give up. Plus SF doesn't have a good record after winning game 1 of the WS. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Plus SF doesn't have a good record after winning game 1 of the WS.Yeah, but you know that a stat like that is just a factoid, it doesn't relate at all to the current series. That stat is ok (it doesn't really annoy me), but the over-indulgence in stupid statistics, especially during the playoffs, does annoy me. They were all, "OMG Freddy Sanchez, first player ever to start his WS career with 3 straight doubles!" Well yeah, I probably could have guessed that. It's incredibly obscure, and interests me 100 times less than the actual fact that Freddy Sanchez had an amazing game and hit 3 doubles. '3 consecutive doubles' isn't a thing, like hitting for the cycle is a thing, you know? It's not like it's a record that anybody is ever going to care about, or look forward to breaking. It's just obscure and not very meaningful. Announcers: please stop finding all of these meaningless 'records' and spend more time being interesting. Or, if you're Joe Buck, just spend less time talking because you're never interesting. McCarver is bad too, but he's sometimes ok, and at least he has some good stories.

Skeleton Jelly 2 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah, but you know that a stat like that is just a factoid, it doesn't relate at all to the current series.This is a pet peeve of mine as well. It's cool if you want to share these little tidbits with me, but please don't pretend that it's relevant at all to what's happening now. Also, what the hell, Cliff Lee? I thought you were good. Obviously can't handle the pressure of the World Series stage. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think one of the reasons that baseball is so entwined with its own history is because the average career is probably longer than in any other major sport. Also of course the league has been around for over 100 years, but when you play so many games every year and so many consecutive seasons with so many people, so many things get intertwined.

timwakefield 68 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I actually kind of do have a place in my heart for these Giants, cuz they're mostly a bunch of misfits and cast-aways (and some amazing young pitchers) who have somehow made it to the WS and are kind of kicking ass. On the other hand though, I'm pretty much always gonna root for the AL unless it's the Yankees. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 kinda like the 2004 red sox.It's a nice sentiment, but we actually had a pretty major powerhouse that year. I guess we did actually have a lot of old veterans, but we also had a lot of superstars. Link to post Share on other sites
