You never played a game of baseball/softball/wiffleball/stickball  when you were a kid?   :o

I don't know what you're asking here, "Is that score line not a hiding?".

A close game could be almost any score. 1-2 or 10-11 or whatever. It just depends on the pitching and what's going on in the field. And of course the batting.

Have you ever played Cricket or Rugby Conrad....?  ;D ;D Just kidding. We did play "softball" at primary school, but never serious, or with any major rules. The field was loaded with about 20+ fielders, as it was out "PT" period... Think ya'll call it "Phys-Ed".

A "Hiding" in rugby would be a score difference of 30 points or more. A converted penalty gives you 3 points, a try 5 points, and the try conversion and additional 2. (so a converted try = 7points).

Back to the Baseball, I see the Cubs & Indians are tied at 3-all..... when is the final game?

As I said, both teams desrved the venue, and the fanfare, and my hat is off to the Cubs, great game...
Anyone that followed the series, and watched this had to agree, it would come down to the last posible point.


Kudos to the Cubs.... now we prepare for next year.....




By far thebest baseball for the last couple weeks, I have ever seen in my life.

What a Series! What a game!

So much tension, I could hardly stand it. Rain delay and extra innings. I was up WAY past my bedtime.

The Indians gave it all they had and so did the Cubs. Now THAT'S how you play the game. It was a thing of beauty.

Wow!!!!

You have me there sir. Nope, I never played Cricket or Rugby in my life, never even seen any of those games played in person.  :chugbeer: :chugbeer:

If the fans didn't get their money's worth during this series, they need to have their head examined. I would have been happy for either team winning, but have to admit a little happier it was the Cubs.

Haven't had Tee-Vee since the OJ chase, radio is on NPR, and my internet news source says Neiman-Marcus is selling frozen collard greens for $66 + shipping (4 - 12 oz. trays, with bacon).

I hear the game is a nail biter though :) GO CUBS!

As long as it has bacon, I'm in!

I can't help smiling every time I think of the Cubs winning. I was out and about yesterday and EVERYONE is a Cubs fan now. So many folks are wearing Cubs stuff, it's amazing.  :)

True, some people don't like the Cubs, some don't like Bob Dylan, or the Beatles either. Some people don't like anything. Some people have a screw loose.   ;)

I caught a bit of the parade yesterday....estimated 5 million people lined the streets.  It was unreal.  Even down here in TN I see a lot of Cubs jerseys and ball caps.  But I'm a midwetern transplant and the Cubs will always be my team.  My poor nephew married a Cardinals fan.  Poor girl.  She's cute but not too bright  ;D
