Man. I couldn't think of a worse World Series.

[Condem]

I'd rather watch Ishtar.

[Upton]

1. Go stick a football..

where the sun don't shine. Nothing can get me down tonight.

[Condem]

3. No problem, Upton.

I've got a whole season of Eastbound and Down.

[Upton]

5. I got my Giants cap on Condem..

I'm just so fucking happy. I just wish cboy was here to enjoy it..

[Condem]

6. I expect Cboy to make an appearance, tonight.

It would only be fitting. Congrats, Upton.

[madinmaryland]

11. He is here, Upton. nt.

[Ken Burch]

23. Are you a bitter Yankees fan or a bitter Phillies fan?

If the latter, I just want you to know I'd be rooting for the Phillies if THEY'd won the pennant, because I always root against the Yankees.

Of course, if the former, that last statement would be no comfort to you at all, but whatever.

[backwoodsbob]

17. go upton

you take(and give)enough shit for sticking up for your Giants.

Giants for the win

[El Supremo]

2. Maybe you should move to Ames.

[Condem]

4. So who are you rooting for this week, El?

[madinmaryland]

7. Ishtar is playing in the World Series, Douche!

[JonLP24]

8. I couldn't think of a better

The two teams I wanted since the playoffs started are there.

[Gemini Cat]

9. This will be an epic series.

The Giants who against all odds won the pennant and the Rangers who have won their first. This is almost as exciting as 2005 was for me.

Congratulations Giants and Rangers fans!

[fishwax]

10. I think it'll be a pretty good series, as far as baseball goes--I'm likely to watch, if it doesn't

conflict with football :)

[Mudoria]

12. A very nice series if you ask me

Two teams no really thought would be there at the beginning of theseason. Giants pitching vs the Rangers bats. Maybe a matchup of Lee vs Lincecum or Cain. Should be very interesting and each game has a chance of being a 1-2 run decider. Josh Hamilton has turned into one of my favorite players (being a kid from NC) so I guess I'll be pulling for the Rangers.



And the absolute best thing of all: The yankees will be watching it with us hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[joeybee12]

13. Actually, I'm kind of happy for both teams...both underdogs, both have never won...

and if you wanna talk awful, any WS where Satan wins is the worst ever!!!

[Condem]

14. Rooting for the Giants.

Any team W owned I want NO part of.

[a kennedy]

16. it is funny that the Texans win now when * doesn't own them

:rofl: but I'll be rooting for the Giants too..... that is of course only when the Packers aren't playing football. It's gonna be a tough one to watch tonight with ol' Brent coming to town. UGH.
:thumbsdown: :puke: edit for word correction.

[av8rdave]

25. Bear in mind that W never "owned" them

He had a relatively small percentage in them financially.

More importantly, he has no connection with them now. I too would root against them were he still any part of them. But he's not.

As an aside, did anyone else notice that the Rangers were pretty much in control of game #1vs. The Yankmes until Bush's smirking face appeared on the TV. It all went to crap right after that.

[Auggie]

15. That's says it all... +1

[Broken_Hero]

18. I'm actually happy about this years series,

and I plan to watch every second of it, although I know the announcers will spend every breath on "why the Yanks aren't there"

I didn't watch a second of the Yankee's this playoff season(and I haven't since 03 or so), I'm so sick of seeing the same teams make it every year, because it appears I'm watching re-run playoffs/WS every year, it gets boring as hell to me.

I'm very happy the Rangers/Giants are in the Big Dance...I don't even know who to cheer for, but I'm going to enjoy seeing a WS in which there are teams no one thought, would be there.

[HuckleB]

28. +1

[KamaAina]

19. I could.

The Gee Dubyas against any other NL team!! :P

[JVS]

20. Didn't the world series used to happen earlier.

This shit has become tiresome.

[rocktivity]

40. I can remember when the World Series was through by September

The earliest it can end this year is the first of NOVMEMBER! And now the NFL is making noises about adding two more games to the schedule, which would push the Super Bowl into mid-February! And all so the owners can milk a little more $$$$$.

[bigwillq]

21. Seems like it's going to be a good one.

Even though my team is not playing.

[Condem]

22. Just tell me that Lincecum doesn't remind you of the kid from 'Dazed and Confused'?

Mitch Kramer? Seems Mitch grew up.

[KamaAina]

24. What a kick-ass sequel that would be

"Dazed and Confused" meets "The Natural" or better still, "Bull Durham". I'm green-lighting it!

[JonLP24]

26. I thought it was pretty funny when the "Dazed and Confused" guys sued

The first paragraph gets me to LOL.

When we last saw them, Wooderson and Slater and "Pink" Floyd were stoned out of their gourds, driving into the East Texas sunrise in Wooderson's souped-up Chevy Chevelle, off on a sacred quest for Aerosmith tickets and smoking a breakfast joint as the Foghat song "Slow Ride" played and the end credits of "Dazed and Confused" began to roll.

But that was a long time ago, man, and it was just a movie anyway -- a made-up story with actors playing Wooderson, Slater and Floyd. Right now -- 11 years after the movie came out -- the real Wooderson, Slater and Floyd are here, sitting at this long, shiny conference table in a Huntsville law office, looking older and less hairy and a bit peeved. They're explaining why they recently filed suit against their old high school acquaintance Richard Linklater, who made "Dazed and Confused" back in 1993, for "defamation" and "negligent infliction of emotional distress."

"Like, for example, the scene that shows me showing somebody how to make a bong in shop class," says Andy Slater, now 45. "I did not do that. I never did that. But they used my name and they show me making a bong in shop class."

Slater pauses for a second, then smiles. "I don't sit around the house making bongs -- dammit."

It is long but well worth the read IMO. I think it is interesting that one had to convince a girlfriend's parents he wasn't the cannabis smoking slacker he was portrayed in the film.

[HuckleB]

27. Yeah, it's horrible to have two teams with good pitching in the World Series.

:rofl:

[JonLP24]

29. Good point

I'm really looking forward to the Lincecum/Lee match-up.

[Binka]

30. Lee is the SHIT! Timmy is gonna be up against it.

Big time fecking game.

[HuckleB]

33. Absolutely! -eom-

[tigereye]

31. oh, pooh! I'm psyched to see the Giants go for it!

Thank god it's not the Yankees again! :woohoo:

[LisaM]

32. How so?

I can see not liking the Rangers because of W, but other than that (unless you are still bitter about the Giants/Dodgers moving out of New York), what's the issue?

[Auggie]

34. Condem dislikes baseball in general

[Condem]

35. NO FUCKING TRADITION, LisaM!!!!!!!!!!

Free agency ruined baseball. Now a team is completely different from one year to the next. But fucking woe is me. College football is fucking ruined. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! Nebraska joining the Big Ten. What will we ever fucking do??? Hypocrite.

[HuckleB]

43. So you don't like any of the major sports then.

Got it.

[happyiowan]

36. I think it will be great!!

I live a busy, full, complicated life with a lot of stress. If you've ever watched my Hawkeyes, you know that watching football is hardly the time to kick back and relax. At the end of most days, I'm tired and dream of quiet fare. I think of watching grass grow, or paint dry, or motes of dust floating in sunbeams.....and the 2010 World Series.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. No You Wouldn't

Nobody ever wants to Ishtar again. Nobody! Besides, it's at least a novel matchup. Never happened before.

And, it's not two small market teams. Dallas and SF are two very big cities.

I wouldn't expect many offensive fireworks, but it could still be interesting.

And besides, like i said, you can't possibly mean what you said. NOBODY would willingly watch Ishtar, no matter the alternative. :evilgrin:
GAC

[Bluzmann57]

38. I think it's great

No Yankees or anything east coast. No offense, but maybe you should just stick with football.

[El Supremo]

39. Why don't you rent this to watch? >>

Just don't get it mixed up with the better version about the Texas State Fair:

[happyiowan]

42. The Pat Boone version is better?

My lily white Iowa ass! And yes, as a matter of fact, I'd rather debate the finer merits of State Fair than turn on my tv for baseball tonight.

[El Supremo]

44. You wouldn't understand...

[Condem]

41. The Food Channel has a documentary about the history of the turkey sandwich...

...as we speak.

[El Supremo]

45. The story of Iowa Football?

What a set up!

[Condem]

46. Well, El.

I can see why you're here.
