Rudy Giuliani...Traitor?

Presidential candidate and Yankees fan Rudy Giuliani is cheering for...the Red Sox, in this World Series.

Evidence of this flip-flopping betrayal.

What say you, NewYorkForge? Should he be hanged or shot?

Ah it won't matter when New Your gets inunbdated by a mega Tsunami.

Won't be a Mega Tsunami. New York will be wiped out by a magnitude 6 earthquake long before that happens.

The Yankees are out and he's for the American League. Just newspaper bullshit!

Don't care.

Giuliani is a New York politician, which means I am bound by fate to loathe him regardless of the merit of his actions.

I do remember one recent candidate that couldn't decide if he was a Elvis or a Beatles fan, which pretty much summed every thing I believed about him.

You're one or the other, you can't be both, it's one of the Laws of Rock.

I like them both.

But then, I was around when they were on TV all the time.

And you wore an onion on your belt, per the style of the time eh?

Dunno what it'll do for his presidential bid, but he'd better not show his face in the Bronx...

I'd like to be the first to object to the term "World Series".

Dunno. I was being taught to smoke weed by my hippie babysitter.

The one who taught me to french kiss, too, and how to fish for crawdads.

She was pretty cool.

Show me a country with a baseball league that has a higher level of competition than Major League Baseball, that also (like MLB) has the best players from all over the world competing in it's teams.

To make it fair, I'll give you five years to come up with the answer.

Hey we have a Canadian team, I hear they like to think they're a whole other country. Or is that Texas....

The first ever? Not by a long shot.

Perhaps henryhill is right.

Until Butte, Montana gets it's own team, the world's finest are not truly represented.

Just checked around the office and a true Yankee fan would NEVER root for the Red Sox.

Screw that American League stuff he was saying. He's a sell out!

Next thing you know, Joe Torre will be coaching somewhere else. Wait, he will be!

Damn right. Yankees vs. Red Sox is the oldest rivalry in the game.

Took them bean-eaters *decades* to get over the Babe Ruth trade...

That would be Baba Ruth there G.

Which has nothing to do with his point. At most, from what I recall, two nations are involved in the 'World' Series: the US and Canada. Japan and Cuba could contend, as I understand it, but AFAIK they don't.
Compare and contrast with the football, cricket and rugby world cups: all the planet has an equal opportunity to compete.

But then, as I've said before, on most of the planet, young girls play rounders, not grown men.

^You mean the United States isn't the Center of the Universe?

That's because all the grown men in the rest of the world are busy playing a game that young American girls play. Soccer.

America 1 - Rest of the World 0

Indeed, the Martians have objected for ages, and they're pissed.

Don't get them started on Miss Universe...

Hmmm, rest of the world, grown men play football, little girls play rounders. US, 'tother way round...
You might want to think about that for a bit.

It sure is for baseball.

Ask Daisauke Matsuzaka, Hideki Matsui, Ichiro Suzuki, and Byung-Hyun Kim.

No one in the United States plays rounders, but the grown men of the world play a game fit for little American girls.

I've seen these so-called "footballers" from Europe, etc.

The tiniest little knock by an opposing player and they engage in Oscar winning theatrics that I would find more fitting from someone who had been hit by a bus.

Er, sorry but they do. Except that in what you call 'baseball' you have bats three times the size (although the same shape) that we use in rounders. Plus, in rounders, you have to pass all the bases without stopping to score a round (run to you).
I'm sure there are good reasons why you needed to make it so much easier for grown men than it is for little girls...

Oh, that's different. They are total and absolute wankers and deserve the derision of the entire planet.
Come to Hackney Marshes on a Sunday morning to see football at its finest...

Baseball > Rounders

No one throws 100 mph high heat in rounders, and no one in rounders blasts that pitch 500 yards into the stands.

Rounders is like slow pitch softball, but lamer.

By the way:

Isn't even true. Players in rounders stop on the intermediate bases all the time, just like in baseball.

Yes, but if they do that, they don't score. Only if you get all the way round without stopping does it count.
