Who will win the World Series????
 

So who do you guys think will win the World Series?

I am a massive Toronto Blue Jays fan and I have waited a long god damn time for this LOL. Last night was a night to remember :-)

I cannot wait for the first game of the ALDS on Oct 8th!!!

Go Blue Jays

Not really a huge baseball fan but it's nice to see the Blue Jays contending again. I remember their two world series wins in the early nineties. It was hard not to get caught up in the excitement. Hopefully they can do it again this year.

A friend and I are going to the Ray's/Marlins game tonight. Talk about a meaningless game. At least the tickets will be cheap.

Cue "how many countries compete in the World Series?" comment...

Don't dare discount the San Francisco Giants.

Ya, most ridiculously named championship series ever.

:thumbsup:2 cents:
Ridiculous.

should trade them in for sundays game instead. jays with archer pitching for the rays.

They were eliminated a day ago...

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Sorry Poncabare, they were eliminated by my team, the Doyers :) Go Doyers.

I'm a Yankees fan, I hope we win that one last game we need so we can clinch a Wildcard spot!

I'll also be somewhat rooting for the Chicago Cubs (they clinched one of the NL Wildcard spots a few days ago) cos they have the most unbelievably die-hard fans who support them year in year out, even though they haven't won the WS since 1908!

Suffice it to say, I am not a Blue Jays fan, and I'm definitely not jumping on the fairweather fan bandwagon to support them, like it seems the rest of Canada has! :1orglaugh

Ya it is funny to see the band wagon jumpers. I have been a Jays fan as long as I can remember. Go to no less then 5 games a year and try to watch every game on TV. It's been a long time I've waited for this and am super pumped for the game next week. I'm hoping to get a table reserved up in sightlines restaurant at the Rogers centre for the first game. Will find out tomorrow if I have it or not!

wait.. you mean if a team starts winning more people will start liking that team?

i can't figure out why...

Betting against the Jays is not a good prop.

The Yankees aren't out of it yet.

I'm hoping for a Subway series!

As long as the Dodgers dont win.


:thumbsup

That would be fantastic! :thumbsup

The very first World Series I ever watched was the 2000 Subway World series. It was amazing, and made me wish baseball had been around in the UK while I was growing up! I fell hard for the Yankees that year watching them play their hearts out and win!

its a damn miracle the yankees even made the playoffs with those guys, girardi deserves manager of the year for that alone.

they have no bench and their starters are on fumes so that is going to be an issue if they even make it past the wildcard. they play the jays tough, but i don't see them beating them in a 5 game series. they COULD beat the royals though, that team has been falling apart lately and they lost their closer for the year.

Jays all the way, baby!

22 year drought is too long.

Yea go Jays and go Price!

i'm not really a baseball fan but the whole Wilmer Flores story was pretty cool.

Im not a huge baseball fan, but just for the energy it brings to the city I hope the Jays win. Toronto loves to party for these things.

Do all major league teams fuck their fans like Tampa does? I bought the first round of drinks as we walked in and for 3 drinks it was $51.00! This was for house brand stuff that sells at liquor stores for less than $20 a bottle.

This isn't a high end hotel or restaurant ... this is a baseball park. Aside of being 15 games out of first place maybe this was why the place was 20% occupied.

$15.00 Parking
$ 9.00 Hotdog
$ 9.00 Can of Coors light
$17.00 Mixed drink

ok i thought it was bad in toronto but that is by far the worst I've ever heard of... I think its 13$ (cad) for a beer, a little less for mixed. parking is a nightmare though, I think its anywhere from 30-40 bucks by the stadium these days. Most people just take the train in though.

detroit on the other hand has great prices compared to either though. beer is still around 8 bucks but other than that the food is a good deal.

Does any of that money go to the team?

...because it certainly fits with all these forty, sixty, and ninety million dollar contracts they're paying these guys to swing a bat and catch a fly ball.


I'm not really much of a baseball fan, but I do keep up on MLB highlights every day, mostly because of my dad who IS a huge fan. He being from Montreal was always an Expos guy but since they moved to DC he's been a Bluejays fan.

I could see the Jays winning it, they certainly have the talent, the offense and defense, but I just don't yet know if they have the chops to go the distance. They're Canada's only team so I won't be too harsh on the whole "fairweather fans" thing. If they make it to the world series much of Canada is going to rally around them, it's that simple.

My buddy has Bluejays seasons tickets 2nd row behind the home team dugout, got to go to a Yankees game a week or so ago with my son, it was great. He got a game ball, and Ace took a photo with him. Then we hit Apache burgers like I was a kid again going with my dad. Was a nice night.

Guy beside me bought 3 tall cans of beer and it was $36, he gave her $40 with tip. Same cans are about $2 each at the LCBO.

If someone gave my g/f and I FREE season tickets it would cost 15 grand a year to park, eat, drink, lol.

every game against the yankees this year was a close exciting game so well worth it i'm sure. the tickets are expensive yeah, but the concessions are just insane and should be re-evaluated. Honestly, at the end of the day they will make more by selling this shit for a lot less with volume alone.

they have the talent to win it all, no doubt--now all they have to do is actually do it.. heh

They do that we American Football to...
Super Bowl XXXVIII: World Champion Patriots - NFL Videos
never understood why they used "World" in there :1orglaugh

Seems like a lot to watch a bunch of guys spit and scratch their Nuts.

The new Yankee Stadium is so over-priced it's almost criminal. I took a friend and his 12 year old son to a Twins game in August and it cost me, including tickets, $650. Insane. His son loved it so it was great but Jebus.

Sad to say I think it will be a Mets/Blue Jays World Series with the Blue Jays winning it all.

Of course, the fact that smoe steroids are legal, and certainly easier to obtain, in Canada can't POSSIBLY have anything to do with Toronto's success, could it? LOL Arod who? LOL

the diamondbacks

Unless the team has a specific deal with a food vendor that money goes to the team.

I go to a few Seattle Mariner games every year and there are vendors surrounding the stadium selling all kinds of food and snacks for those who want to save a few dollars.

What the fuck is the world series?

As for my World Series prediction: While I would like to see the Cubs win it all I think it will be the Dodgers.

This is awesome.



Go BlueJays!

Wow no mention of the team that won 100 games, has 11 world series titles, including 2 in the last decade.

OK. :error

Nobody should want to play these Astros. They are playing with house money.

The Giants.

Oh wait, that's next year.

Here I'm thinking I'm crazy for thinking it might be a pre-written "team of destiny" thing at work because of what Marty McFox said back in the 80's about the Cubs winning in 2015.

The owners

You should time your next Florida vacation with a week of spring training games. Real cool way to watch your favorite team.

the houston oilers!

Blue Jays.

We'll take Texas later this afternoon.

i keep meaning to do that, maybe this year in feb..

The Blue Jay's have a quaint old stadium that seats about 5,000 just north of Clearwater. Very different than watching them play in Toronto.

Did that a few times as a kid. We would always stay in Clearwater or St Petes beach and drive up to Dunedin.
