What happened to Game 6 of the World Series?

Why wasn’t it played last night???

Oh, that’s right, 'cause you weak-ass bee-otches in St. Louis don’t have a retractable roof! PWNED!

On a serious note - what happened last night raises an interesting issue that took place during the Brewers - D-Backs series. In case you don’t know, MLB makes the call during the playoffs on whether the roof will be open or closed. For Game 5 of that series, it was an absolutely perfect night. Something like 70 degrees, zero rain, light wind, just perfect for baseball. MLB required that the Brewers keep the roof closed for that game. The explanation was something to the effect that they wanted to “keep the conditions the same as games 1 and 2” which were played with the roof closed b/c it was raining and/or cold.

I don’t understand that. What does that mean? I am curious to see what would have happened last night, had the game been at Miller Park. Games 1 and 2 would have been with the roof open. Had they played Game 6 in Milwaukee, it was raining, so, typically, the Brewers would have closed the roof. But, what would MLB have said?

Doesn’t make sense to me. In any case, we are spoiled with this retractable roof. It is really cool.

The only thing worse is someone making fun of them for it even though their team is on the driving range now while the Cards season is still going… :slight_smile:

Please, only weak ass bee-otcehs have retractable roofs.

Maybe, but, we are smart weak ass bee-otchs! Unlike those fools in Minnesota who built a new open air baseball park. They realize they are in Minnesota, right? :wink:

Or the baseball season starts in April and possibly ends in October. They are a hearty bunch though and after playing for years in that travesty called the Metrodome, I can see why they went all in outdoors.

You beat me to it. They were probably afraid of flashbacks.

There is a strong possibility of snow on the ground in April in Minn. Foolish. If you are going to build a new stadium, go big or go home.

There was a good amount of opposition to Miller Park - or, rather, opposition to the funding and tax increase to fund Miller Park. However, it passed and there was a report done this year showing the revenue generated over the last 3 years by Miller Park, including the All Star Game. It is staggering. One of the best decisions Milwaukee County ever made.

Sports are meant to be played out of doors. You should know that in Green Bay.

Baseball sucks in the cold though. When my son played I always joked with him that watching his games in the Colorado cold was so brutal that he should aspire to be a Texas Hold’em player because it is played in a warm bar.

Did you really just make a thread about the Brewers? Oh my.

I whole-heartedly agree. BUT, if baseball is going to cancel games b/c of the elements, then you have to do something to address the elements.

It was an MLB conspiracy to try to give the Cardinals every possible advantage if they make it to Game 7.

GO RANGERS!!

All baseball players are weak-assed pansy boys. They can’t handle a little rain/snow/wind/cloud/sun/insert other small annoyance.

Hey, my team got bitch-slapped out of the World Series, so, I have to smack-talk about SOMETHING! Your ballpark sucks! So does your pizza! And your beer!

You must be referring to that crappy European piss water that InBev decided to start making in our fair city. Here’s some real St Louis beer:

not mention owned by the son of that capitalist conservative Phyllis Shlafly

Hah. Apparently she is his aunt, not mom. But I never knew that.

One of her sons founded Conservapedia, which is possibly the dumbest website on the internet. I always thought it was a bit of a satire site, but it isn’t.

I think the beer makes up for the dumb exploits of his aunt and cousin though.

My bad, nephew.

I just looked at the Conservapedia site and it looks like a joke; its not? “Greatest Conservative Songs” is my favorite (Free Bird - Because conservatives want a free country and liberals are in love with communism) *This site is worthy of its own thread, if it isn’t already.

It’s so cute when Americans think their beer is actually beer. :wink:

Canadian beer sucks!

Baseball is an outdoor sport. It should be played outdoors. If a game gets rained out, then so be it. I’d much rather that than a roof.

What makes baseball attractive is the tradition and the aesthetics.

Also, real grass and no dh.
