So THIS! :-)))

Anyway. Who are you rooting for?

As for myself, don't ask me. I don't understand this game.

It's just not cricket.

Correct. Baseball sucks less.

Of course, it still sucks. (ZOMG how un-American of me!)

Rugby FTW!

I'll happily go along with your preference for Rugby as long as we are talking union here, not that toilet of a sport known as Rugby League (I'll still take Aussie Rules over rugby, and association football over them all :P)

Actually my fave sport (I mean to play) has always been volleyball. I'm quite good at it. Maybe because of my height or because we played it in school. I was on my high school team too.

OK but why do they call it 'world' when it is not.

Once upon a time it was sponsored by a newspaper called "The World", hence, "The World" Series. The name kinda stuck and I don't think anyone was too concerned to change the perception.

That must explain the NBA 'World' series as well, then.
