What if Carmen Electra called for an emergency titty fuck?

why is it called the world series? is there actually any other country competing?

Theoretically, a couple of teams from Canada, but though I'm not a baseball fan I'm pretty sure they usually suck.

I mean the real answer is already obviously "Americans are arrogant" anyway.

at the end of the MLS each season, they play "USA vs. Rest of the World"

So it's not unlike Twin Galaxies' "world" records?

I wish I could take credit for it. It's one of the best lines ever from Entourage.

Its pretty safe to say that the winner of the world series probably is the best team in the world.

Although Japan did win the World Baseball classic, but thats not based on individual clubs but rather nationality. And Cuba seems to dominate the Baseball World Cup, but Major League players aren't allowed to compete in that.

At the time the World Series was established (the current version was first played in 1903), baseball was pretty much nonexistent outside of North America. The Wiki article has some explanation of this.

I heard there was only 58 murders... down 80% from any other average day in Philly.

Phil12 · Post by **Phil12** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 2:02 am

Im not here to talk about murder..just fun.

Also you have to understand. There is a difference when it comes to Philly fans. People who paid a grand for their season tickets, they're not doing anything. They love and respect the team too much. It's the fuckin bums that can't even afford a hat that cause all the trouble. That's the truth.

I like the Philies for some reason. Flyers and Eagles are usually good too!

The Philly mob is even better; some guy had a hilarious vid about the Lil' Nicky Scarfo era on Youtube but looks like it's down now. "How you gonna run the city when you don't know where the city is?!"

lol i was actually wondering, i think baseball is pretty big in japan aswell for instance? (and id assume mexico and canada have teams?)

its completely non-existent here in europe thats for sure.

something that will proboably stun you all rigid is that i actually quite like the US and im not out to shit on its citizens with every chance i get

Back in the early 1900's or whatever, there were two leagues in baseball - which, incidentally, only existed in the U.S. - the American and National Leagues...they decided to call it the "World Series"; but, you know they could have called it the "Mega-Series", or the "Uber Series", or maybe "El Chingon"...

If you're interested in other countries playing "big league" baseball, you should check out the eh...whatever they call it...World League I think? I'm personally fascinated w/ it.[/quote]

Being a big fan of baseball I couldn't care less about this year's World Series (a bad name, granted). Don't know why, really. I've been told this year were the worst TV ratings ever, too. Guess people wanted to see Boston, or something.

I have to work, they won't let us off. Can't move the Halloween party, really!!!!!

My Wife is going to watch and DVR it for me. I am about 10 blocks away and if I still can go I will walk down.

I am listening to 610WIP, our sports station right now and its NUTS!!!!!
They are down there and it sounds crazy.....its packes already!

Awesome Season, no Yanks or Red Sox in the WS, Phillies win, what more could you wan't ? It's time to take my happy thoughts and hibernate until the March WBC.

Oh and Baseball is popular in Europe but only in Italy and Holland (both participating in the WBC, both without a remote shot of winning the damn thing though).
