After a spirited regular-season battle that saw the Rays wrestle the American League East from the Red Sox, the clubs will meet again in a best-of-seven AL Championship Series beginning at Tropicana Field on Friday night on TBS. This time, a trip to the World Series is on the line. More >

Quote:
An underappreciated Dodgers team constructed by GM Ned Colletti has proven to the baseball world that it should be feared when the NLCS starts on Thursday in Philly. But don't expect GM Pat Gillick's Phillies to lay down for any club as they try to make the World Series for the first time since '93. Full story >

This isn;t a sports forum so you've not explicitly broken posting rules but consider this a final warning anyway David.

I went to a Yankees game in July
It was the biggest load of shit ever.
I'd been to Minnesota Twins games a few time too.
Serious, fuck off baseball.

Don't pay attention to the Limeys David.

Q. What's the difference between Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park?

A. You can buy a hotdog at Fenway in October.

RBI=runs batted in.
Jef, do a search and see how many football and mma threads exist with no warnings.

New York, nope. Opening game of the World Series is Oct. 22, most likely in Boston, so you have a chance, although you'll probably have to pay street prices for a ticket.

Yes David, if you'd posted this in a sports forum you'd have been banend for breaking the rules. As it is you've merely posted something deeply inappropriate rather than actually banned.
I am gald to see you are using football correctly, this is an important step in the right direction and a sign that you will be able to be a productive member of the libcom community and in general a better human being.

Jef, I took you seriously for a moment. Now i see you're engaging in a far more sophisticated form of piss taking than most around here are capable of. My hat (which I don't actually wear) is off to you.

If this was a forum dedicated to sports of international scope, I think baseball would be considered on topic as it is played on an amateur or professional basis in 112 countries.

Coner, it's really not our fault you went to see second rank teams.

Jack, i wasn't sure what the correct UK usage was, in the States we use scalper, wikipedia says it's ticket tout over there.

no sorry, knew what you meant, was asking roughly how much. smile For 2 tickets I guess.

I'm in Boston 23rd - 30th October, so will I be able to catch a game? If I don't really follow it you reckon it'd still be worth a look?

Jack. Scalped world Series tickets are not worth buying. You could buy a nice car instead.

your chance to go into a bah and have american-loud-sports-experience. which i'm sure is utterly different from english-loud-sports-experience. too bad it's not the yankees, there would be fistfights.

Do any teams from s.america or asia compete in this 'world series'?
No, no they don't. hence it is not a 'world series'.

Now, football, the real internationalist sport, has something like over 180 teams competing for entry to the World Cup.
Baseball is a fuckin joke. It's not even a sport. serious, when i went to games the fans had to be told when to clap, everyopne spent the whole time just sitting talkingand being fat american cunts and not watching the game.
Shittest sport ever.
