gisco Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Poor Dodgers, must be thinking about their big paychecks and not the game.
Jew Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ^For being a team of high priced superstars, I actually think they had great chemistry (see the bubble machine as an example). They just didn't have a bullpen this year... In any case, go Royals! Mike Moustakas is a high school classmate of mine. Not only that, all the cool things they've done (by drinks for fans, give tickets to fans, have no shame in wearing the "These O's ain't Royal" shirt) make it impossible to not root for them!
Meteornotes Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ^Oh, I am finding it quite easy to not root for them... dt
Jew Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ^They always do that AFTER they beat the Dodgers... Would have been awesome to have Dodgers vs. Giants for the pennant!
gisco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ^They always do that AFTER they beat the Dodgers... Would have been awesome to have Dodgers vs. Giants for the pennant! That would have been awesome. The whole West coast would have been watching. To bad Kershaw has a self destruct button when they hit the playoffs.
Jew Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) ^It's a shame the Dodgers had to count on him so much in the post-season. 6-7 innings should be all you need out of your ace in the playoffs...if you have anyone besides the closer in the bullpen you can count on! I have no doubt he'll get it together before his career is over. Like Phil Mickelson or Payton Manning! It's OK though...the Dodgers will just sign Max Scherzer & James Shields or Jon Lester to ensure they never have to go to their bullpen or pitch Kershaw on three days rest again!

gisco Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I read an article that the best teams were not in the World Series since both the Giants and the Royals are wild card teams.
Meteornotes Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 ^Since the Orioles are not in, I agree with this article! dt
bbomser Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) The World Series rarely involves the "best" teams. Usually, the two teams are at the right place at the right time. Consider the Royals, Ned Yost (Manager) was thought to be the only thing holding them back from potentially being the best team in baseball. His team has beaten The A's, The Angels, and then the O's. All three teams are managed by much better coaches. One could also argue that those three teams are better than the Giants. Regardless, Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. The Royals are built for the playoffs. My Prediction: KC in 5. What are everyone else's predictions? EDIT: I'll list everyone's predictions here: bbomser: KC in 5 Jew: KC in IDK pdcon: SF in 6 Meteornotes: KC in 5 Send in yours! Edited October 21, 2014 by bbomser
Jew Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I don't care how many games it is as long as the Royals win!
pdcon Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 how could anybody bet against the giants, every year 10, 12 and 14 we have been the underdogs in every series we play. we where not supposed to beat the pirates on their turf, there is no way they can get past the nationals with their pitching and we defiantly cant beat the cardinals who are a better image of ourselves. All the giants do is find a way to win. I predict giants in 6. GOOOOO GIANTS.

gisco Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Not a lot of love for the Giants here. At least they haven't choked this year like some LA teams.
Jew Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It's hockey season now, so I know you aren't talking about the LA Kings!
pdcon Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Since when have the giants bee so hated?......GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS...Its all about the bay.
Jew Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 ^One man: Barry Bonds. Though anyone from L.A. has always hated the Giants! It certainly wasn't about the Bay tonight.
ProwlerPrey Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 It was really great to see the Royals bounce back in game two. Hopefully they can carry the momentum into SF. I honestly still have a hard time believing this is all happening, I've never seen a sport take over KC like this before. Royals in six.
jray21 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I can't find the map anymore, but I saw a map that showed which team each state wants to win the World Series. The entire map, even California, wanted the Royals! Yes, it wasn't scientific in any way, but thought it was funny.

gisco Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Well, it is pretty easy to hate the Giants! It is even easier to hate the Dodgers.
