Ormond Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Now that the borefest that is Yank fitba' is out of the way, we can settle down to get ready for the one, true American sport..... Baseball. Cubs favourites this year with Boston second favourites. I'm taking in a few games this season at Wrigley like last year and planning to follow them on the road a couple of times also.

Ormond Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 So, Jas. I see the Indians have started off exactly the same as the Cubs at 6-7 in games. Although the Cubs have lost the last 4 in a row. Hardly inspiring stuff from both the World Series sides so far. The Reds are who have started off well in our division and I'm off down to Cincinnati this week to take in games on the Friday and Saturday.

Ormond Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 After the first half of the season being below expected from us, they signed Quintana the pitcher from the White Sox. Should make the city classic an exciting one in just over a week. Today, he started and played a blinder helping sweep Baltimore over 3 games. Could the Cubs have turned the corner? Money is on someone like Houston, Red Sox or Washington though with a dark horse in Milwaukee. Unless we get the finger out. I'm kidding myself on the TAMB are interested in rounders though.

killiefaetheferry Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks for the heads up on Washington. Took them for my free 5 from Sky. Got 9/4 for them -3.5, and I ALWAYS lose my free fiver . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to watch the Cubs play there with the sound down due to that constant war sounding song they play. The Tomahawk something I think it's called. It goes on and bloody on.

biffer Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Was at two Cubs games last month, both crazy, beating the Mets 17-5 and 14-6 on consecutive nights. Don't think they quite have theitching depth to win the whole thing again though (although they were on fire for the end of the regular season). Cleveland must be in the box seat, 26-4 since the start of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland must be in the box seat, 26-4 since the start of September. Cleveland are the team to beat this year. Outstanding form. After the Cubs ended their huge trophy drought the next team to wait the longest is the Indians so if we can’t do it then it’d be nice for them to. Cubs are starting to play well right when it matters though. Coming from behind last night in a very tight game against Washington to lead the series 2-1. Win tonight and Cubs march on. ?⚾️?

Dodgers seem to be hitting form at the right time, looks like they could come into the WS rested versus a team that has just some off a seven game series.

Ormond Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Houston batter in the World Series on Friday night has admitted making Oriental signs at an opposing player by pulling his eyes apart squint with his fingers. MLB has absolutely shat it by making him start his 5 game ban at the start of next season. Fvcking cowards. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sport/2017/oct/28/yuli-garriel-yu-darvish-houston-astros-dodgers-world-series Edited October 29, 2017 by Ormond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
