I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

What gets me is, if I as an, at best, enthusiastic amateur can call it beforehand regarding Lester, why can't the manager? It's as though he was determined to get Lester in.

Westwood.

You probably don't know the story with Lester? A good starting pitcher but he can't throw to first. So that's why he didn't field that ball that was thrown away, and also means he can't stop base runners stealing.

A risk then. Other than that dodgy throw, he has done well. (As far as I can tell). The error margin is very fine in this game.

Especially in game 7 of the WS

How's your nerves TLS?

[jcsutv]

Don't ask him about nerves. He held a catch for a hat trick that was in the air for at least ten seconds! This is easy!😐

Shitting bricks, I've even brushed the dog to take my mind off the nerves.

You're so nervous you've forgotten you don't have a dog!

1908? My oh my.

1908? My oh my.

I'm Red Sox and we won it in 2004 after not winning since 1918. Our manager to end our drought was Tito, now the Indians manager. Our General Manager (basically the bloke responsible for building team) was Theo Epstein, who is now GM for the Cubs. Some going if Theo manages to build teams that break the curse of the Bambino and the curse of the billy goat.

Chapman is very quick but can be wild

Be interesting how he copes with so much pitching this series.

[PeterWithesShin]

This is what I love about post season as a neutral, one swing of the bat and we're all tied!

[PeterWithesShin]

A bit like that.

Looks like it's going all the way to 17 then PWS

Unbelievable
