Baseball In Britain
Forums:
Whoever the brainiac that came up with the idea to send the yanks n sox to Ungland (doing my best William Wallace) in the middle of the season, should be drown stabbed shot hung drawn then quartered. I can tell you right now whats gonna happen - the hooligans that fill the place will be drunk on arrival, continue to drink heavily after arrival, and sing out of tune soccer team loyalty songs all game long, not giving 2 shiites about the score - then fight.
And now I have to go 3 days without watching a meaningful baseball game !!@

Don't watch baseball, but the NFL is enjoying more and more popularity across the pond. Its only a matter of time before some team moves to London or the franchise otherwise expands there. Mexico City is due for a NFL team too.

Cricket is more enjoyable than baseball.
I highly doubt that the Brits get the nuances of the Yanks/Sox rivalry. The thousands of American ex pats over there do.

Hopefully, Prince Harry has to be restrained from charging the field after Princess Megan has too much eye contact with Aaron Judge.

I didn't watch but caught it
I didn't watch but caught it on the radio. Apparently the seats at the ballpark are an off white color, so a large section in center field was blacked out. Batters on both teams were able to "pick up" the ball easier. One theory anyway.

it was 17-6 in the 5th. “High-scoring”, “entertaining at times”, sure. “Incredible” might be reaching but yes, it’s game-time shortly. You don’t see many 9:10 am starts these days.

No way man, it was incredible, an ultimate bball spectacle on so many levels.
< 17-6 in the 5th > Yes and Boston not out of it till the game ending DP, fantastic play that it was. Boston almost tied it in the 8th 4 3/4 hrs in. Incredible fucking game. WTF ya wana see ? A shutout, a 3-2 game ? Booooooooooring
