Sad. I never thought I'd root for the WS either.

 

Edit: Oh, it's the CUBS. Hm. Well, don't like them either.

 

When did AL teams start playing NL teams?  Seems like that sort of thing would of got some media attention.

TBD. Delay is possible. Highly likely we will play tonight.

 

Edit:  Bob Stiles had asked if the game would start at 7 p.m.  This is DSP's response.

It did get a bit of media i think, though i'm too lazy to research it.

 

They started playing each other... what, a little over a hundred years ago? It was all the rage. A big best of 7 series between the two pennant winners. I forget what it was called...

Doesn't specify what they will play though... If not baseball, i vote for duck duck grey duck.

CHC  3

 

End of 6.

 

Soler hit a 2 run HR off Volquez.

Looks like this rain is going to linger for a while, looks like probably 8:00 at the earliest that the rain might stop.  Doubt they want to start the game after 9 so it could be called.

And the visitor will sit there scratching at their skulls, wondering how it works (not being native Minnesotans), and then all of a sudden, one of our ex-Twins will pipe up with, "Why don't we just say 'Jay Jay Blue Jay'?"

Actually the first World Series went 8 games.  And even better the first World Series where the winner won 4 games and the loser lost 3 also went 8 games with a tie included.

No, we'd just yell:  "Duck, Duck, Goose" they way it is supposed to be played.

Although I like the "Blue" Jay idea.

 

I am not a murderer. That is a picture of my eccentric neighbor who is past out drunk in his driveway. He has an obsession with birds and on the weekends binge drinks Old Milwaukee in his garage while wearing very high detailed bird costumes. On this day, he just happened to be wearing his Blue Jay costume.

Okay, everyone, back away slowly...and what neighborhood do you live in, kind sir? (people wearing highly detailed bird costumes while passed out drunk are natures way of saying "stay away."*)

What? Iowans don't play the Minnesota way, either?

 

I want to tell you that you play it wrong....but that's not nice. So ya'll play it right, but so do we. We play it the way it's supposed to be played. Minnesotans just know how to turn a boring game into a little more fun. That way you can use your imagination and say "Green duck!" "Red duck" "Chartreuse duck!" "Iridescent duck!" You name it.

Grey Goose.

 

Grey Goose.

Adults like that game, too? Never woulda guessed it.

And the Cubs just tied the Royals at 4-4, bottom of 7, 2 outs.

Well, you certainly aren't making the rounds on TD, slapping random people on the head and shouting "GRAY DUCK!!!!".....or wait, are you???

Anyone in the cities?  Is the rain going to stop enough to play on time?

 

Fowler is not Aaron Hicks with the glove.  Nice catch earlier but he just dropped one he should have had.

 

2 runs scored on a bloop single.

 

Royals up 7-4 in the top of the 8th with 2 out, someone on 1st.

Play: maybe. On time: pretty doubtful.
