J-BAR #18287 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 OK, it’s not a 0-0 pitcher’s duel, but 3-2 Washington in the 7th... I’ll continue to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Astros had their stuff together for 3 games. Amazing. Not one team won a home game! A very entertaining series. Now baseball is done. Gonna be a long dreary winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 My wife and I went down to a sports bar to watch the game because our power was down. We got to the fifth inning and were kinda told we should go somewhere else to finish the game, seems they needed the table for somebody else. Anyway we came on home and found out who won this morning. I liked both teams and like UB says, it’s gonna be a long winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A truly historic World Series! Never had a series where the home team lost every game!! Remarkable!! Entertaining for sure! A little controversy to spice up the Hot Stove season. A couple of new stars to shine for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 We have one club that shoots all winter but unless it’s in the 40’s I ain’t going! We do have another club here that shoots indoors!! It’s a hoot and it’s at least some trigger time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Who won the World Series? Oh, I see, the Nationals.I believe they are also in the National League.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I grew up in DC and walked to Griffith stadium to watch the Nats/Senators. They would change the team name depending on which beer company was sponsoring them. For a long time it was Senate Beer. They became the Nats after Senate Beer went out of business and National Boh in Baltimore picked up sponsorship. Their motto at the time (1940-50's) was: "Washington, DC - First in War, First in Peace, and Last in the American League." Clark Griffith was a cheapskate and would not pay for good players.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The old Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and the Montreal Expos became the Washington Nationals. 21 minutes ago, Church Key, SASS # 33713 said: I grew up in DC and walked to Griffith stadium to watch the Nats/Senators.

Yea we’ll I hope you’re lucky enough to get a MLB team someday, it’s great to live 15 minutes away from a MLB stadium. Nothing else like it!! We’re also 15 minutes from the Captains A team and less than two hours from AAA Columbus, also two hour drive to the Toledo mud hens, AAA for the Tigers.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think it's interesting - and confusing - how AAA minor league teams keep changing affiliations... Since the Fresno Grizzlies started out in '98 they've been affiliated with the Giants, Astros, and now the Nationals. Also interesting - each of those majors has won a World Series during their affiliations with the Grizzlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO a night up at Lake Elsinore watching the Storm is much more enjoyable than watching the Padres and anybody they play. Costs about a tenth of what a game at Petco would cost with good seats always available. $1.00 hot dogs, $1.00 beer, what’s not to like? No traffic, no trolleys lots of fun.

I agree to a certain extent, there's nothing like an MLB game to see the best players in the world though. Man I miss baseball already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
