Red Sox Win Game 1 of the World Series 13 to 1

RWood · 10-25-2007, 01:35 AM

I kept watching because even 12 run leads are not a sure thing in Fenway Park.

What's this? Baseball?

HappyMartin · 10-25-2007, 04:15 AM

Yep, I watched it when I lived in Florida some years back. (no cricket you see)

VillageReader · 10-25-2007, 07:04 AM

Yep, bats are round and they almost always finish the same day.

There's a lot to be said for a game where you can watch the start of it, go away for a few days, and come back to see the end

Hmm. The same might be said for grass growing. Or paint drying.

Baseball: Ten minutes of action, packed into three hours.

That's the thing, though; for the uniniated a 5 day "Test Match" in cricket may seem to be excessively long, but it's a game of strategy, not just "action". Besides which, what other game is civilized enough to have an afternoon break for tea?

HappyMartin · 10-25-2007, 08:47 AM

Absolutely Harry. It is wonderful on the radio as well, I listen in the car and at home while reading. When a good one ends it leaves me with the same feeling as when I finish a good book, a little sad.

Hi-jacked by a band of cricketeers?

HarryT · 10-25-2007, 10:00 AM

I agree. The BBC's radio commentaries on test matches are an "experience" all of their own

Talking Baseball:
A lot of baseball fans are unhappy with MLB right now. MLB changed DRM suppliers, so that fans who previously bought and downloaded videos of baseball games from their website can no longer watch the games they paid for.
