World Series, Game 2 - ANOTHER Great Game!!

Lyric

Damn, I'm loving this!

I'll admit to being a bit disappointed Houston didn't win this one, because, though I want to see the Sox win in the end, I still want to see this Series go seven games, so was hpoing for a Houston win tonight, just to keep the Series tied. Since I am a 20-year fan of the Astros...and a 34-year fan of the White Sox, this is, of course, a very tough Series for me.

But, damn, neither team gives in when they are down....they keep battling back, and the games have all been close so far, so I'm getting good show, here. I just want seven games because I want MORE good show!!

Hell, 'Stros up 4-2...ok, it was a shit call by the ump on the hit-batsman on Dye...it hit his bat, not him...but, again, you should not be getting yourself into situations where one bad call can screw you. At least, this time, it wasn't Pierszynski in the middle of the controversy!

Crap call that it was, without that, we wouldn't have the awesome Konerko grand slam to talk about...and he golfed the CRAP outta that ball, totally awesome...and so then it's 6-4 White Sox...still cool by me, because it's within 2 runs.

So then, Vizcaino comes up with the clutch hit for the 'Stros, and ties it up 6-6 in the ninth inning. The 'Stros did not just lay down and die, they battled back yet again!

Then, the moon shot off Lidge, once again...sheesh, that guy is having NO luck in the postseason...I kinda feel sorry for him, because he's a lot better than that. But, again, there go the White Sox...and Podsednik comes thru with that shot to win it in the bottom of the ninth, 7-6. Another close game, a lot of back and forth battling, both teams REFUSING to just give up...this is fucking GREAT baseball!!

So now we got the Konerko and Podsednik homers to talk about...the great effort of Houston to come back to tie it in the ninth, the great clutch hit by Vizcaino...this is fucking exciting baseball!!

Damn, I want seven games of this!!

Like I said, being a longer term fan of the Sox than of the Astros, I still wanna see the Sox win it all, but damn, can we please go seven games?? This is baseball at it's best!!

For anyone confused about my position, you need to understand that I was born on the South Side of Chicago, so native Chicagoan, and White Sox fan from birth, I practically grew up in the old Comiskey Park. I was there in 1977...1983...I remember the shower in the outfield...Disco Demolition...all of it, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I remember "Winning Ugly" back in 1983.

So, I have been a White Sox fan for all my 34 years.

BUT, when I was a teenager, my family up and moved to Texas. I needed a hometown team to root for, because the Internet wasn't really around then, and you couldn't get good media coverage on out-of-town teams...not like you can now. So, I retained my love of the White Sox, always wanted to see them do well...and the Astros became my hometown team...because I could NOT root for the Rangers (they were in direct competition with the White Sox at that time, both being in the Western Division, back in the days when there were only two divisions in each league.)

So, I became an Astro fan, and have been one for 20 years now.

By the time we left Texas, one was able, thru the Internet, to follow out-of town teams, and so, even with a move to Pennsylvania, I never gave a shit for the Phillies and never will. My two teams are the White Sox and the Astros.

I have waited ALL MY LIFE to see either of those two, my beloved teams...win a pennant. So they both go and do it in the same year, making me want to root for a tie! In the end, my longer term allegiance to the White Sox wins out, but I still want to see seven games...especially seven games as exciting as the first two have been!!

All the games close, no blowouts...niether team giving up and dying...always battling back...damn, this has been, for me, a postseason of dreams! I don't want this to EVER end!!

I still say the 'Stros are gonna win Tuesday. No way do the Sox beat Oswalt, and especially not in Minute Maid Park, either. After that, well, who can say for sure, but I feel reasonably sure the 'Stros win it on Tuesday to make the Series 2-1. I just hope Game 3 is every bit as exciting!

And here you are, in the very next post, being a prick. And being a condescending prick for no apparent reason whatsoever that I can fathom, outside of wanting to be a condescending prick anyway. Nicely done, :rolleyes:

Conceivably, your suffering through these random posts of the American ‘World Series,” will not lead to too much suffering on your part, and perhaps you will be comforted with the thought of the threads you’ll eventually be able to end up posting of yet another World Cup (or whatever fan supported event you do desire), drowning us Americans in it sometime in the near future, eh?

Oh, not another non-American WANKER going off on that again?? Jesus Christ...it doesn't matter WHERE the teams are located. so what they are all in North America? They collectively represent players from many different countries, as all the best in the world ASPIRE to come here to play in our leagues.

Off the top of my head, I can come up with four nations represented by the White Sox - Iguchi is from JAPAN...Contreras is a CUBAN defector....Ozzie Guillen, the manager, is from VENEZUELA...and of course, there are Americans on the team. And maybe even more nations are represented by the Sox, I just am not sure of the specifics. For example, what is the native country of El Dulce?

Now, Houston is a little bit less international, but Wandy Rodriguez, I doubt, is an American!

Our leagues...and our teams...while they may all be based in America and Canada...include all the best players THE WORLD has to offer...and thus, is representative of THE WORLD...and therefore, World Series is entirely appropriate!

Tell you what. I don't know what country you are from, and I could really give a rat's ass. BUT...you go ahead and field a team of players ONLY from your own country. Be very xenophobic about it, too. We will send our shittiest team to make the postseason, the San Diego Padres...as the America representative team. Even THEY will kick your team's ass about 78-2, and I'll laugh my ass off. Your team will look like Charlie Brown's team, having their ass handed to them! And that will be your World Series. We'll still kick your ass, because we attract the best players FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD!! They choose to, and aspire to play over here in our leagues...mainly, because we can afford to PAY for the best talent the world has to offer. Our leagues are representative of the best players the world has to offer.

Or, as an alternate solution, how about you get enough money together, to attract to your team, enough of the talent to compete at our level, and base your team in Timbuktu, for all I give a shit? Then, apply to join our leagues. Then you can have a team from your country. But I bet it won't be made up of just nationals of your own nation!! Not if you want to compete at the level required to play in our leagues.

We do not restrict our leagues that only Americans and Canadians may play in them. Our leagues ARE representative of the best players the world over...the best the world has to offer. And thus, the title "World Series" is entirely appropriate.

Damn, why can't Euro-weenies figure this out? NOT EVERYONE GETS TO PARTICIPATE!! Only the best do. Not everyone gets picked for a team. Not everyone gets a little blue participation ribbon, and we don't hold hands and sing Kum Ba Yah after the games. It's sports, it's competition, it's money, it's talent...and only the best get to play. That is the way it is. And since it is that way...players from other countries, if they have the talent, are welcome to play in our leagues! Witness Contreras, Iguchi, Guillen (who played shortstop for the White Sox for 12 years, and is now their manager) El Dulce...and of course, Wandy Rodriguez from the Astros...

Hey, the way it works is the best get to play, the rest don't. And they ARE from all over the world.

It's stupid to have an all-America team, and an all-England team, and an all-Germany team...no, you get the best talent you can for your team, and you don't give a shit where they come from!

That is how the game of baseball works. To play in our leagues, you must be among the best in the world. and to get to the Series...you must have gone up against others who were also the best in the world. And in the end, one team comes out on top. And that is the way it works. In the end, the best team will win out...and it will be because they recruited talent from wherever they found it...not just America.

So quit whining about the title "World Series." It's appropriate. and if you don't think so, field a team from just your own country, and we will send our shittiest team over as our representative team, and we will STILL kick your teams ass. And I'll laugh my ass off.

God-DAMN I tell you, mostly I agree with the politics of people like Heron...I assume he's more a liberal...but damn, THIS IS ABOUT SPORTS, NOT POLITICS!! And wankers going off on the title "World Series" really piss me off. Read my more lengthy response above, for why the title WORLD SERIES is entirely justified.

~~yawn~~

No, really, enough already. I think I got the main points, even through the horrible grammar. So, because you don't just have players from the States that makes it a world event? You do realise that that technically makes every top flight football (y'know, the kind with feet?) league in Europe a World Competition. Well, except for the fact that we aren't self important enough to call it that.

Unless every country is given equal rights to representation (the actions of their government not withdstanding) it's not a World Anything. The Wolrd Series is like a group of eight year old kids declaring they'll play tag for the title of Ultimate Master Tagger of all the Universe Ever. It doesn't mean shit.

and if you don't think so, field a team from just your own country, and we will send our shittiest team over as our representative team, and we will STILL kick your teams ass.

Oh noes! I R teh b453B4ll fan! U R teh sU><orZ. LOLOL!111

Point taken. But generally, they present a different viewpoint. Like, to pull examples from the air, two different gun threads might be "Tougher regulations needed" and "Outlawing Private Gun Ownership is Unconstitutional".

But, if someone added their thoughts to an old thread and made an entirely new thread with the exact same post, I would have a problem with that too.

Well, see...my thread here is about GAME 2 ONLY. The other thread is the whole Series, and not just Game 2.

You're trolling because you had nothing new or beneficial to add to the conversation that was clearly defined in the title of the thread before you clicked on it.

Lyric wrote and posted about an event that happened earlier today, you posted a negative opinion about Lyric's very right to post any new thread about the topic at all. Despite that it’s new and fresh (unavailable to earlier posts/threads. Because it hadn’t happened yet).

And here you are, adding nothing useful, nothing meaningful and nothing helpful, but you managed to be insulting and demeaning to the original poster intent and entirely off topic... Thus, you trolled.

Yeah, still don't see the trolling.

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). While Trolls often make these posts strictly in an attempt to provoke negative comment, it is still trolling even if you actually hold those beliefs. Intent is difficult to prove over the internet, so mods will work under their best assumptions.

All I did was to ask how many threads on this we needed, and to laugh at the title of World Series. I don't see the trolling, unless you're that rabidly attached to the grandiose title that my laughing at it is akin to me attempting fornication with a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Well, get used to it, because I plan on making a thread after each and every single game in this entire Series...a thread to discuss THAT INDIVIDUAL GAME only.

Two things. Firstly, I'll be here to bitch. Secondly, even animals learn.

So, negative opinions are not allowed now? It's trolling to point out that a thread is unnecessary and made redundant by another. Have you never seen two threads get merged for that reason? And, let's not forget the fact that a post identical to the first was put in the so-called official World Series thread, by Lyric.

Did you miss the definition of trolling: posts made with the intent of angering people. I wasn't intending to anger anyone, I simply asked why this was necessary, and laughed at the so-called World Series that is only competed between teams from two countries, the USA and Canada (source, in case I'm wrong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series)) and that same Wiki link implies that no non US team has ever won (don't know if that is true).

Well, my original intention was to find out why this thread was created. As it turned out, it was not for any special reason, so it is pointless.

I didn't want to anger anyone. Lyric became incandescant after I laughed at the title World Series. Not my fault, not my problem. I can't be called a troll because someone is angered by my comments. It's only if that was my intention (which it was not) that I am a troll.

You are entirely a troll, face reality and maturity yourself, you had no reason to post in this thread whatsoever, none, but the fact you didn't like it and you wanted to insult someone. You are a troll.

GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD: I AM GOING TO MAKE A THREAD, EVERY SINGLE GAME, AFTER EVERY GAME...ABOUT THAT GAME ONLY.

Wow. I have this sudden urge to vow to make a thread about every individual hockey game that is played this season, just to retaliate. And I don't even follow hockey. I'd have to go out of my way to actually start a thread about it.

Seriously, don't start a thread about every world series game. A baseball thread now and then is just fine, but one every couple days (or however frequently world series games are played) is going to get really old really fast.

Umm, I had a reason. Here it is

Okay, not to sound like a bitchy non-American, but how many threads on this do we need? COuld this not have gone in the big thread about the World (**sorry, laughing too hard to continue**... ... ... **Okay, I'm done**) Series?

See? A reason. Wondering why this hadn't gone in the other thread, before I went to report it (which I still haven't done, because this is entirely too funny). And nor do I see any insults. The first insult here was not by me.

Now, I may be a little biased in favor of Heron-Marked Warriors (he was, after all, the first person to quote me in a sig), but his first post in this thread really didn't seem all that bad. Compared to what people say in political discussions on this forum, it was remarkably polite. As far as him ruining this thread by posting in it . . . well, it takes two to tango. Why don't you and Lyric just go back to talking baseball and leave HMW alone?

That IS an insult post, too bad your reality identification ability has not kicked in yet, you must still be operating under self-denial mode to not understand how your first post displays you as a prick...

As soon as he leaves the thread, eh?

There's a difference between me being a prick and me insulting someone. I don't think that there is any evidence of trolling in that post. But, I'm not a mod. I have now reported this in the moderation forum, so if you want to go and throw your lot in there, be my guest. Until a mod arrives and makes a decision, I'm done with you and Captain Capslock over there.

Yeah, all the baseball discussion is being lost under this argument. Wait, it's not lost, it was never here.



Weren't you ignoring me?



Fine by me. All I ever do is take the piss out of people anyway. Knock yourself out, Doctor Maturity.


Haven't we already covered this?



Well, you can't. End of. Try it if you want, but you're asking for a merger or locking.



Nobody else is quite this hysterical.



The comma is your friend.



I guess I could go have a wank, or something...


well then, why the FUCK don't you?

since you now know your continued presence here is serving for nothing other than PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF....you are now trolling for sure, even by your own definition. WHY DON'T YOU GODDAMN GO FUCK THE HELL OFF ALREADY, GODDAMNIT?!!?!?

Well, my original intention was to find out why this thread was created. As it turned out, it was not for any special reason, so it is pointless.

I didn't want to anger anyone. Lyric became incandescant after I laughed at the title World Series. Not my fault, not my problem. I can't be called a troll because someone is angered by my comments. It's only if that was my intention (which it was not) that I am a troll.

SPRAY YOUR PROTESTS AS YOU WILL YOU KNOW GODDAMN FUCKING-A WELL THAT YOUR SOLE ACHIEVEMENT HERE IS THAT YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF BEYOND MOTHERFUCKING BELIEF!!! NOW GO THE FUCK AWAY ALREADY, GODDAMN IT, AND JUST IGNORE THE MOTHERFUCKING THREAD IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!

GOD-FUCK-DAMN!!! IS IT SO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK?!?!?!

By Captain Capslock, Lyric, I mean you.

You should really chill out. I don't know, take your dog for a walk or something.

Amusingly enough, it doesn't matter if thread was needed or not, because it has degraded into completely off-topic, irrelevent flaming.

Good job.
