Why is all their so called sport called the World Series when only they play it.
Very Dis-appointed that you of all people Henry watch this tosh!
It's called the world series because when it started only North Americans played professional baseball, when other countries started up the name was already there, a bit like The FA being THE FA, even though there are now many others.
You should try taking in a game if you ever get the chance Ketters.
Have watched Baseball, Basketball & American Football on TV the only one I enjoyed was the Basketball to be honest. Perhaps I am missing something by not seeing it LIVE.
However, I don't think the name change will make a difference to their final position in the AL East
Can't be Texas Rangers on PC grounds (why no Texas Celtic? :-) )
I'm in the Ketman camp though to some extent probably because I love rugby! :-)
Cardinals play in red.
I think Ketman just has a problem with bat and ball games.
Anyway this isn't meant to be a "let's discuss whether we like Baseball or not" thread but a "Let's enjoy a 161 game season with games nearly every day that will fill the gap over the long summer when there's no Charlton and no England games" thread.
Just pick a team to follow, doesn't really matter if you like the sport or not.
Go Cards.
Is anyone else from here taking part in the free fantasy baseball competition at fantasybaseballuk? I've noticed one or two other Charlton fans over there, but I've no idea who they are..
The Newcastle Utd of the MLB.
For history it's the Red Sox...
But I agree with vancouveraddick - Ice Hockey is the only North American game worth watching - c'mon New York Rangers!
I've seen the NY Rangers play at Madison Square Garden......would recommend..
I go over every year to catch a few games at Fenway (and the odd road game). Saw us beat the Yankee scum with four home runs in a row last year - first time in about 20 years any team's done that. Off there again Thursday week for a couple of games against the Rangers and a couple against the Angels (loge seats right behind home plate yay).
Anyone into baseball should subscribe to MLB.TV. It's only about £100 for the season and that lets you watch all 3,000-odd games live! The Divisional and World Series was a ruddy nightmare. Home from pub at 1am as game kicks off, carry on drinking at home while game is on, game finishes anywhere from 4.30am to 6am, couple of hours kip, off to work still drunk, 4 or 5 days a week for the best part of a month. What an endurance test.
I support two teams. 1. Charlton Athletic, 2. Boston Red Sox
Everyone else (including every international team and every other sport) can go swim.
Got hooked during a visit to Japan in the late eighties as it was the only thing on the box I could understand, then again when I went to the US mid season some years later.
Why Oakland, well when I was looking for a team to follow I came across Athletics and it couldn't be anyone else really.
But remember still 150+ games to go : - )

Too much like Millwall, mate, I'd leave it
