why is it called the World Series? It's basically just the US, and a couple Canadian teams.



It's called the World Series just to piss off people who are anal about those kinds of things..

That and the league had 99% of the best players in the world...

Okay, I am here to confess I got it wrong. I still would like to see the Tigers win, but it ain't gonna be in five.

Precisely.

If you're any good at baseball, you play in MLB. Same with the NBA, and the NFL, and NHL. I'm not saying that Americans are the best at any of the sports, just that the best leagues in the world for these sports are found on North American Soil.

That was a real good response by SK.

Could the Tigers have GIVEN the series to them any easier?

That was disgusting.. St. Louis HAS to be the team with the worst record in MLB history to ever win the World Series..

Errors upon errors... made me sick.

Many agree that the Card's pitching was stellar this year. But you're right, the had the chance after the Yankees finished so early and gave St. Louis a fighting chance. Actually, they played quite well against the Mets, too. As you recall, both the Tigers and Redbirds slid into the playoffs this year.

Wow, I didn't know their record was so lame. I looked it up, 83-78, awful.

Twins won it all in 1987 at 85-77

Mets had a fine 82-79 record in 1973, but lost in 7 games to Oakland.


Still, better than some other sports where teams who lose more than they win can still win it all. I figure an all-sports rule is needed: No one who loses over 50% of their regular season should ever be in any playoffs.
