infrared41 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 @OnWis97: I agree with all of that, but I can't force myself to be interested. If it gets to game seven, my guess is my interest will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Before the World Series started, I was in here wondering why people were so down on this match-up. After five games, I'm wondering what I was thinking. I've really tried to give a flying about this World Series, but I just don't. It pains me to say that because baseball is my favorite sport, but I just don't have it in me to invest any time in this series. Unlike the majority around here, I actually like the Cardinals. Like the majority around here, I don't like the Red Sox. Normally, my Red Sox "hate" combined with an appreciation for the Cards would be enough to rustle up some interest, but it's not happening. It's probably the fact that, going in to the playoffs, we had a shot at seeing some new blood in the World Series only to end up with more of the same.Anyway, I'd like to retract my earlier statements questioning the lack of interest in this World Series. I totally get it now. Yeah, my interest in baseball dropped off once the Braves got eliminated.It's not a matchup I got excited about....the Cardinals and Red Sox playing in the World Series feels like a near-annual thing. To be fair, I don't think I'd have watched much more of the playoffs, no matter who was left (Braves aside). Been busy with work, and the World Series has been going up against football most of the time. I've watched maybe 6 innings so far. Total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardWitham Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 the cardinals bad play is karmic justice for this board banning rams80 for the duration of the world series The Danimal said: Texas is the state that gave us George W.

BBTV Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Baseball has become a regional sport. I think it's much easier to watch and enjoy a football game without a rooting interest than a baseball game. Same probably goes for basketball and hockey, even though the fan bases are smaller.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I agree with that completely. In addition, personally, I find it much easier to still want to watch football later in the day, even if my team has suffered a rather crushing defeat, than it is to want to watch baseball in a similar fashion. Same applies with hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 What a terrible time for the Cardinals to play their worst baseball of the season. They've been downright miserable at the plate.

HedleyLamarr Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 What's that chant the Red Sox crowd says when Victorino comes to bat? And how did that start up?Speaking of Victorino, seems like he's always getting the timely hit/play. Saw that way too many times when he played for the Phillies....him feasting on the Braves pitching in key September games. He's a pain-in-the-dumper I wish the Braves had.....

FiddySicks Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well, the Cards look pretty boned right now, but it's not like the Cards haven't turned it around from a deep deficit in game 6 of the World Series...http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HEh1VUn4Pp0 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

HedleyLamarr Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It may not lead to any runs, but it's not very Cardinal-like for that Carpenter flub and the botched run-down.The baseball gods are conspiring against St. Louis, for once.......

Alex Houston Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Such a shame to see Boston get another sports trophy. What is in that precious New England water these days? Cause I'd like to get some to San Jose sometime soon.
