Game 7, top of eighth inning.
Thank you, that is all.

That's awesome! I had the sound off on the game, damnit.

LiTS is an awesome song to hear at a major sporting event.

I once heard Metropolis (the beginning) at a Philadelphia 76ers game, and once again at another game. They played the beginning of it to rally the Sixers during a time-out.

I think Metropolis may actually be a somewhat common song at NBA games, since I heard it multiple times.

The World Series is basically the championship games for major league baseball.

No idea.  I can make something up for you.

More players are either coming to America to join MLB of defecting to play here but that's not always been the case when they've called it "The World Series" forever.

Because it's our pastime and at its inception nobody else cared? (1903?)

I remember years ago hearing Erotomania in a New York Rangers game.

Yeah, but still pretty far from warranting "world". Hockey has way more Canadian teams and they settle for "Stanley".  :biggrin:

It's been called the World Series since before anyone else in the world played baseball.  After such a long tradition, it makes no sense to change it now.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Dear friends:

I think we should all stop using (and abusing) acronyms, unless you've already typed the full name of the song / record in the sentence / paragraph. Otherwise, sometimes it¡s really hard to decode it. IMHO.

Thank you very much. All the best.

Abusing? Anyway, you'll learn them soon enough if you stick around (bookmark this in the meantime use it in synergy with CTR+F: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=39318.0), and if you don't stick around, well, you're not going to care anyway.

BTW (By the way), all this talk about baseball reminded me of the time when I saw Moneyball. I was thinking: "Man, this was an amazing movie, imagine how much more enjoyment would I have squeezed out of it it if I actually gave a shit about baseball."

That's the other one!! It was a Spurs playoff game on TV. I've seen almost all of them, so that was definitely it.

I hate the acronyms but LitS is a fairly common and unambiguous acronym and I was shortening the title.

I, for one, feel like I'm a better DT fan and person overall because of how good I've gotten at DT acronyms because of DTF. I will never stop using them, and I hope none of you lose the last shred of integrity you have and fall into this pressure.
