World Series

[Bigdaddy]

Are you watching the World Series?

Not at this moment, but have you watched at least some of both games?

[Leon]

I don't watch much MLB but since my original hometown of Houston is battling it out I am watching some of it.

I don't watch much baseball anymore. I do have the WS on but it is more background noise than really paying attention.

Haven’t really watched MLB since 1994

Me too except for a rare occasion.

Watching it now only because hometown team, Nationals, are playing. Otherwise only watch the Giants on TV, though do go to a lot of different ball parks for the at game experience.

I don't watch many games during the season but I try to watch the post season games.

[ullmandds]

i'm watching...I still love to watch good baseball!

Not watching out of protest of the Astros beating my Yankees in the ALCS.

Since the World Series is about the only baseball I can watch free (I refuse to pay a penny to watch sports,) I am tuning in the Series when it occurs to me. Tonight I tuned in during the 8th inning.

I can tell you who won and lost every World Series from 1903 through about 1928, and from 1945 through 1991, but I couldn't do that from 1994 on, with just a few exceptions.

I've only watched a few innings here and there. I didn't catch any of it tonight but the Packers looked good on the road.

Sort of. Tuning in here and there if I remember, but not setting a reminder. The win/loss pattern has been the storyline, but the games themselves haven’t been all that interesting.

I went to the game last night (game 5) if that counts? But otherwise yes, I'd still watch it.

[Hirbonzig]

Don’t watch many MLB games anymore. Games filled with HR’s and SO get boring after a while. I would rather watch games old school style—single,double,stolen bases,sacrifice,and bunting.

Yes, absolutely. Residing in Houston the last 30+ years, the Astros are a big part of our family activities. I predicted Astros would win the series 4-2 however I did not expect the visiting team to win each of the first 5 games - GO ASTROS!!!

[Leon]

My wife and I were talking about this last night. So much for a home field advantage. And yes, go Astros!

NO, reason being the Braves choked yet again!

[Leon]

The only major league sport where the home team lost every game in the championship, from what I heard. That is kind of crazy. Congrats to the Nats.

[David W]

I am on Eastern time and have to wake up at 4:45 for work.

So I watch the first couple innings and that’s it

[dabigyankeeman]

I watched parts of the first 6 games, all of the 7th game. Loved that the Nats won it!!!!! If the Yankees, Mets, Marlins, Dodgers, or Cubs had been in it I would have watched all of every game.

I wish though they had day games on the weekends.

I heard after game 5 that it was the first time in baseball, basketball, or hockey history that a road team had won 5 games on the road in a 7 game championship series. 7 road wins is a record that will never be matched.
