It is a little late, but no one is out yet!  Who will win?  If you want to be daring, pick all four teams to advance to round 2.

Yanks in five

Braves in five

sox in four

cardnials in three

Who will win the WORLD Series ?Confused

Now let me see that WORLD would be USA & Canada, wouldn't it?Stern Smile

Christ you're right I've just looked at my Atlas and there's just one page on it, that's torn it! North America surrounded by one giant sea,the Great Blinker Ocean!LOL

Sorry, you're right, this map from the "International Big Book Of Maps Of Genuinly Important Places" quite clearly only shows North America.In fact it shows only the USA! I've been living a lie all this timeConfused-I must be a figment of your warped imagination!LOL

Just like Darts then - World Darts Championships held in the UK and played by....oh yes, by people from the UK (and a few Dutch people as well I think)

that sounds really boring..i hope they do not consider that a sport. Anytime an "athlete" can take a swig of beer in between his dart throwing or bowling for that matter,I would say that cannot be considered a sport then.

To get back to the question..Wink

Went for the Astros. Considering how they've turned around their form over the last couple of months, they are red hot.

Sorry to see the Athletics just missed out though.Cry

Darts? yawn! Now Snooker, thats a game!

Baseball? Isn't that the schoolgirl's game of rounders . And isn't American football just rugby but with girly protective padding and daft helmets?.

And while we're on the subject, FOOTBALL, a game in which one uses one's FEET rather than one's hands.(the clue's in the name.)

(easy guys, easy, it's all good clean fun.)

Most people (including me) said baseball is lame.

More proof that .

You know you’re on to something!  Trying to hit a baseball at ninety miles an hour from 60 feet away can make you look very girlie.  Or having a 250 lb linebacker that runs a 40 yard dash in 4.3 seconds hit you at full speed without girly pads on will definitely make you a girl or eunuch.  I think soccer is girly. 

 

Astros and Red Sox in the world series.

Why does your map have Nebraska wiped out?  Not that I care except they produce most of our food and a lot of the worlds there. Just curious.

bravo penguin..,I was going to make the same point until I saw your comment. I mean the average Rugby player weighs between 175-200 lbs and probably comes no where near the 4.3 mark in the 40

Soccer (or shall we give it's propper name of FOOTBALL) is indeed a bloody girls sport. Have you seen how quickly these babies go down under a tackle nowadays??? Not like in the 60's & 70's where footy was a MAN's sport. They had ciggarettes at half time for God's sake and lined their boots with razor blades and breathed fire and....and....(wheeze)....

....I'm of to watch a nice relaxing game of baseball

Cricket?  Isn't that the bug who keeps you awake at night?     I agree 100% Gdub.  American Football is the progression of world football (see I said it and not soccer)
