World Series

Way to go Arizona!

I'm not a huge sports fan and usually I can't stand watching it on tv, but THAT was a great game! Down to the wire and everything! Whooo-eeee! That was amazing.

Hubby called his dad in Tucson about 5 times and he called here just as many times. Unbelieveable!

Fastest expansion team to win the trophy! TWO MVP's! And baseball is still a game played by gentlemen, based on the players' responses. They all recognized New York's efforts and nobody gloated.

And Rudy Giuliani congratulating them, what a classy man. I see why they love him so much up there.

Of course, it almost didn't matter who won. The Diamondbacks sure deserved it, but I don't think anybody would have begrudged New York if they got it. And they almost did.

Boy. That was what playoffs are all about.

This year's Series was a classic, that's for sure. All those 9th inning comebacks were amazing! I'm not huge baseball fan (football is another story ) but I had a great time watching the whole series this year. ...And I'm so glad the Yankees lost lol

Great game! Actually, the whole series was great!

My Dad and step-Mom moved from here to Arizona (Sierra Vista) about 6 months ago, they love it there.
Daddy-O had to call me right after the game too...but he wasn't a gentleman..he was gloating! :laughing2:

Indeed, this World Series was the best one in ages! I'm happy for the Diamondbacks and sad for the Yankees. I was born in New York city; and, although I never made it to a Major League baseball game (too young) whilst in New York, I was the proud recipient of a souvenir Yankees cap from my father. I recall listening to Mel Allen describing Yankees' games on the radio; replete with Joe DiMaggio at bat.



But all that was many years ago; and what I best recall about the World Series is the 1960s' period, with the likes of Yogi Berra and Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson. Like many (hopefully most) people, I root for the underdogs — in this case the Diamondbacks.



I only wish these modern-day broadcasts would stick with showing us the playing field and knock off the innundation of "human interest" close-ups of billionaire owners and players' wives on the sidelines. Who gives a rat's ass? And "Bank One Stadium"? Hand me the motion-sickness bag, please.



Anyway, this was a real World Series — with great comebacks and many thrilling moments! The Yankees have more than their share of World Series titles, so three cheers for the Diamondbacks!

Amazing series with 2 amazing teams. I am happy Arizona won (I love it there). I dislike Roger Clemens big time (sour apples - he left the Toronto Blue Jays) I was up to midnight and then the cats wouldn't let me sleep (I was away all weekend - but the hubby was home with them). When the alarm went off at 5:30 this morning I was not a happy camper. My husband calls Merlin a "monument to sleep deprivation"!
