It is funny. Equal mirth has to go to a sport only played in America, being called the world series. Oh and the truck, that's funny.

Players from around the world participate in MLB, so it has a decidedly international flavor.  Nobody, anywhere, could beat the Giants.  Especially not from a country that plays a gay little version with sticks and a paddle.

[edit] Fucking YouTube.  Here's a link that won't be taken down (I hope).

We call it rounders. Usually played by pre pubescent school girls. There are no coincidences.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

We call it rounders.

Yeah, you ornery fuckers have a different word for everything.  It's like a different language or something.  But that doesn't change the fact that we saved your asses in The Big One.

That was a rounders match. Cricket would have been the preference.

I heard they're making a sequel called "Weekend at Queen Elizabeth's."

[paladin1991]

Hmmmm.  The video is not avail in my country.  Conspiracy?

I knew what he meant, i.e. all the teams are located in the USA.  You have to make allowances for English people; their primitive manner of expression really limits them.

Yeah, but your women appreciate a bit of rough. It's only what I've heard you understand. Comments about your rugby players being dressed in crash helmets because they don't want to have runny masquara and smear their lipstick.

Your typical Brit bloke hasn't such concerns. Aussies less so, they're REALLY primitive.

Just sayin.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Your mom never complained, either.  [note that here in the USA, home to real English, we use "your" in the possessive form]

"Would I lie to a prince of the realm to win twelve pennies?"

"I have no idea what an Australian might do for that sort of money."

The people who play in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan might be surprised to hear that.  As would the Toronto Blue Jays.  As would Cubans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Venezuelans, and other parts of Latin America

My proof reader's day off...I've corrected it, and advertised for a friday only proof reader. Preferably female, maybe American...Any area/ state/ city recommended?

And of those how many ply in the 'World series'? I saw Base ball played in Cuba. Tried to teach them cricket.

And they probably were better than England.

Total shambles...I lost them explaining that you start with all in who are bowled or caught out, and they go out to let those out come in to bat.


My Spanish is non existent and their English limited.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

As would the Toronto Blue Jays. 

Isn't Canada part of the USA yet?  I think it's time for some reorganization.  Give Quebec to the Frogs, and Jesusland to the Palestinians; join the remainders of the USA and Canada together.  We'd be part of the UK again, sort of, so I expect Pud to give this idea an amen.

According to a Yahoo news article, 14

Cut and pasted:

On the field, there are 14 foreign-born players on the World Series rosters, including five Venezuelans in the starting lineups for the Kansas City Royals and Giants.

Third baseman Pablo Sandoval and center fielder Gregor Blanco feature for the Giants, while the Royals start shortstop Alcides Escobar, second baseman Omar Infante and catcher Salvador Perez, all from Venezuela.

Rounding out the international representatives are five Dominicans, two Venezuelan relievers, a Puerto Rican reliever and Japan's Nori Aoki, who starts in right field for the Royals.

The contingent underlines the international presence in Major League Baseball, which included 224 foreign-born players at the start of the 2014 season.

Not like the footy, rugby or cricket world cup then? With international teams?

You don't get off that easily; Our domestic 'club' footy teams (especially the top premier league) are almost all made up of foreign players...and managers/coaches....and owners. Then not surprisingly the national teams (England, Scotland, N Ireland, wales...do shit in international competition. The cynical say there's a connection...I can't imagine why.

They do have a 'World Baseball Classic' every few years with players playing for their home countries.  It started in 2006 and they've played them in 2006,2009, and 2013.

It's played during the MLB preseason at various ballparks.  It's difficult to schedule because a lot of young players and Latin players play in the winter leagues in the warmer weather Latin countries, and it starts to add up to a lot of games.
