Who else is NOT watching the World Series tonight?

[undeterred]

[southlandshari]

1. Me!!!

Watching the Auburn-LSU football game - wild horses couldn't drag me away from that one!

:bounce:

[supernova]

2. Me! I'm watching Food Network

while I do housework.

When 9pm roles around, I'm switching over to "Byron" on BBCA. :-)

[Reciprocity]

10. Food Network switching to the World Series

[Left Is Write]

30. I have Food Network on too, though I'm not paying much attention.

[undeterred]

3. "Chicago" and "Platoon" are both on in my area

Both good movies. But I usually pick serious movies and Platoon is an excellent movie...

[ghostsofgiants]

4. The World Series is tonight?

[undeterred]

5. Astros and White Sox in 15 minutes

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Yet another sporting event that I don't care about...

I'm gonna watch a few movies, I think.

[LynzM]

7. Me....

Makin' soup, hanging out with my family, doing homework for class on Monday...

[AngryAmish]

19. What kind of soup?

I make a mean potato- leek soup. I crack that recipe out after the first frost. Warms the bones on a cold winter night.

[LynzM]

27. Ooh, yummy...

I love potato-leek soup. Wanna share your recipe? :)

We made a beef stew today... beef, barley, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, some boullion, and YUM!

[AngryAmish]

36. oooohhhhh

Stew.......sounds awesome.

Actually, I got my potato-leek recipe from "The New Best Recipe" from the editors of Cook's Illustrated. It is a very guy cookbook because they claim to try many variations on the same recipe and pick the platonic ideal recipe.

I'll be glad to give it to you but I really recommend the cookbook. I think it is a must for anyone learning to cook or looking to learn new things.

[LynzM]

43. I'll have to check that out, thanks!

I'm just starting to get into cooking more than the same 5-6 things every week, and it wouldn't help to have another good cookbook to work from! :)

[KG]

9. no TV at my crib.

baseball, that's the placeholder sport between football seasons, right?

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. Is the World Series tonight?

:shrug:

[undeterred]

13. Game 1 at U.S. Cellular Field

http://www.tickco.com/Map/Tickets.aspx?pid=300292

[Initech]

12. I'll watch but since my team is out, I really dont care who wins.

[StaggerLee]

14. heresy!

The power of Shoeless Joe compels you!!


:)

[Reciprocity]

17. This is eerie...

Clemens's mother predicted that the Astros and Soxs would be playing each other on her death bed. This is something I heard during the game (Cards/Stros on faux sports) from Roger no less but, can only find in part on the web.

Here's the deal. On the day Bess died back in September.

Roger
"This is momma, she was thinking baseball. She came to and asked if we were in the playoffs yet," Clemens said. "Out of nowhere came, she mentioned Shoeless Joe Jackson. It was unbelievable. ... I asked her if she was in the fields, and she said, 'I think I am.' She just loves the game."

Clemens was with his mother, Bess, early Wednesday when she died. Later that night, he was on the mound making his scheduled start for the Houston Astros, just as his mother expected him to do.

She also gave the score of the game that Roger was to play that night 2/10 Astros.

[StaggerLee]

20. whoa

I had no idea.

I knew his mom passed away recently but had never heard this story.

Thanks.

[Reciprocity]

25. Yes and remember this was way back in September before...

the playoffs started.

[HeeBGBz]

15. I'm just watching to see Josh Groban sing the anthem

Then I'll go watch a dvd or something. Nothing else on that I can see.

[philosophie_en_rose]

16. I might watch that.

for Josh Groban. :)

I don't plan to watch baseball, until the Mariners are in it. So probably never.

[AngryAmish]

18. I'm going to a costume party

I'm the construction worker from the Village People.

I like baseball sooo much but the fact that the Sox are in the Series is killing me. I think they are playing baseball the way it should be played but their fans are so obnoxious I can't root for them.

[gizmo1979]

21. I won't be glued to it.

but somewhere over the years I've lost my ability to watch a whole baseball game.When I was young we'd listen to the Cubs on the radio,now I can't watch more then 2 innings without being bored to death.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Must've been a damned big bed

Clemens's mother predicted that the Astros and Soxs would be playing each other on her death bed.

:evilgrin:

[omega minimo]

23. What World Series?

:shrug:

[Dude_CalmDown]

24. Why would they have the World Series at the same time that football is on?

Baseball is a sport in the same way that getting your pet stoned is a sport.

[MrSlayer]

26. I'm watching Hockey.

Several games are on.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Well, I'm not watching.....

But I've never been very sports-minded.....

Neither is my husband......

I'm going to be here, trying to get my posst count over 10,000....

On a Saturday night, no less!


:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

29. I am not.

[colinmom71]

31. Not me. I'm following the one true sport - figure skating!

Damn Chinese internet feed for Skate America keeps pooping out though. Thank goodness for fellow skating geeks who post results and such on message boards! :D

I am sooo not a baseball person, nor am I big on most sports in general. I still follow football some just so I know what the hell my father is talking about come August through January. :eyes:

[Gregorian]

32. Hahaha. Football, baseball-----fuckem! :)

:)

[Kali]

33. Me

No TV, though the series is one sports event I occasionally "get into" Fun when Diamondbacks won a few years ago - actually went out to bar/pizza place to watch that one.

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. I watched about three innings

but I turned it off because Faux so thoroughly fucks up every ball game it touches.

[Wcross]

35. World series? I got some paint I was going to watch dry. n/t

[RebelOne]

37. Well, I certainly am not. Baseball bores me. n/t

[JVS]

38. Someone other than me! GO SOX!

[supernova]

39. All sports bore me on TV

I'm mildly amused to watch a game in person. But Sports on TV?

[Fox Mulder]

40. I'm pissed that it's on.

I want to watch Family guy and the Simpsons! But no...there has to be a stupid world series game on. :grr:

[Dangerously Amused]

41. Du-uuhh, you mean "World SERIOUS."

:P

[SharonRB]

42. Me

I'll be watching West Wing, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy -- my usual Sunday fare.

[AirmensMom]

44. Glued to the weather channel.

Need to keep an eye on Wilma. :shrug:

[gollygee]

45. Oh is that tonight?

The White Sox are in that, right? I guess i hope the White Sox win then.

But no, I won't watch it.

[huskerlaw]

46. Hell no, it's West Wing night!

and Desperate Housewives, too.

Does anyone outside of Chicago and Houston really give a shit anyway?

[Merrick]

47. Going to a concert

Gogol Bordello at the House of Blues. A Ukranian gypsy punk band that should put on quite a show.

[peekaloo]

48. What? And miss every sports cliche, little known fact, player 's personal

minutia repeated ad nauseam?

FoxSports: We speak down to our audience because we know they're stupid.

[Kat45]

49. Is the World Series happening now? Who's in it?

I ignore baseball as much as possible and I truly didn't know the Series was going on now. :shrug:

[Orsino]

52. These are important questions...

...to which I don't know the answers, either. Or care.

Unless Fitzgerald's playing--then fill me in!

[Rabrrrrrr]

50. I sure as hell ain't watching it.

Who gives a fuck?

And it's interfering with Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad...

fucking fucker fucks.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

51. I'm getting into the Halloween mood watching World's haunted places

on ABC Family. It's creepy, sometimes kinda fake, but still creepy, and I like to hear the stories. The investigations are just silly.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

[DainBramaged]

54. Me again, not one second

[yellowdogintexas]

55. ME! won't be watching it. nt

[Deja Q]

56. Pay me a-rod's salary for a year and I might.

That's only $25 mil, hardly anything at all...

[MarsThe Cat]

57. i'm not...
