The World Series

[MadeleineG]

I can tell you one reason why Toronto fans don't like Boston is the turn coat coach they booed John pretty good because it seems there was always the deal with Boston management that he get a couple of years experience with the Jays & he has the coaching job back in Boston. His heart didn't seem to be in it & I think Jays fans including me sensed it by a lack of good decision making.

I'm no fan of Farrell. That being said, going back to Gibby wasn't much of an improvement.

@ Princess, You are right about Gibby. When I heard he was coming back, I said to my wife, "No, why are they giving this guy a second chance?" I am sure there were better candidates out there. Looks like the lousy year proved we are right.

@Bethany, sorry about your fav Tampa, but I believe we knew Boston wasn't going away.

My fav Dodgers are into the next round, woo hoo!

[bethany]

Now I want any team but the Red Sox to win. But really I'm rooting for the Dogers.

[Jamiep]

That is interesting, you prefer the team I like too.

[LisaW]

UGH!!! The Dodgers went down. This is not looking like a good sports year for me. My teams are the Dodgers, the Lakers, the Cowboys, and in college football USC. The Dodgers were my best hope, and now they're done. Oh well, I can always take up bird watching

I lost track of or was out on the night of the games this week & reading in the sports in newspaper that Dodger & Detroit were trailing in their series. At least Detroit is tied up with Boston now. I saw some of the Dodgers game last night & omg they got trounced. I am so disappointed. St. Louis sure had the small ball strategy, well placed hits, scored a lot of runs with two out, good on them, they deserved the win. Dodgers errors, were was the competitive sense when you backs are to the wall.

I think Detroit is back in their ball park today, hope they win. It looks more likely it is St. Louis & Boston for the WS.

Detroit is playing in Boston. Boston is up 3 games to 2. I hope Detroit finds a way to win the next two games.

Bethany, thanks for the correction & update.

[bethany]

Boston vrs St Louis in the world series. Last time these two teams played in the world series Boston won 4 - 0. I hope the outcome this year is very different. Lets go St. Louis!!!!!

[Jamiep]

I was out last night & last score I was aware of Detroit had a 2 - 1 lead in the seventh. Got home & found out they lost. My favs are done. Okay, with you Bethany, go St. Louis.

[MadeleineG]

Boston Braves vs the St Louis Browns? I'd put my money on the Braves unless Eddie Gaedel gets hot.

[bethany]

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox. This certainly was their year. They never lost more than 3 games in a row all season. And with what Boston went through with the bombing this year the city really pulled together.   

[Jill F]

Ugh.  Nothing I like less than the Red Sox.

Yankees vs. Dodgers next year. PLEASE!!!

[Jamiep]

Bethany, I missed some games & only able to check in to check the score, but looks like we had it figured out when we started this thread, much in all as neither of us wanted Boston to win. Wasn't the cleanest of games played, but Boston was the power house, they had the talent & didn't just win by a whisker.
