Ooooooh, I'd like that. :D Chicago Cubs: 57, Chicago White Sox: 2 :D :) :p ;)

[Beleg]

Aule is correct

[Beleg]

Pippin is correct.

[Aulë]

OK,

In this sport, there are 18 players for each team on the field at once.
The playing object is an oval shaped ball.
Four posts are at either side of the field.

[omnipotent_elf]

ooh ooh
aussie rules :D

[Aulë]

Awww nuts!
Trust the only other Aussie in this Guild to pick that up....

[Nefmariel]

no idea

[FoolOfATook]

Anyone else see that Kevin Millwood no-hit the Giants? Why the Braves let him go for salary reasons will never be completely clear to me...

-hangs head in misery,even though Atlanta won today-

Seriously, a no-hitter with only 108 pitchers deserves all the credit in the world, big congratulations to Millwood.

[munchkin]

Yeah, I didn't "see" it, but I heard about it. Not to be on a down side, but its not like the Phillies played great either! They scored an amazing 1 run! And Millwood DID walk 3 guys! The cool thing about it is it was the 6th no-hitter thrown on April 27, and the last one thrown on that date was last year when Derek Lowe threw his no-hitter!:D

[omnipotent_elf]

yay, I finally got one

ok, a sport this is
of fast preportion
it includes a shuttle
but not a martian (sorry very sad attempt to rhyme)

note : this sport has the fastest serve in history

[Anamatar IV]

Speaking of former Braves pitchers, anyone else see Tom Glavine pitch another pathetic game for the Mets? Tom Glavine has such a good arm...it's a waste to see it go to the Mets.;)

As for Millwood, the Braves let him go at the peak of his recovery. I think it's time to send hate mail to AOL/Time Warner, anyone else think so?;)

[Nefmariel]

I don't really keep up on basball

[Aulë]

Omni- Is it badmington?
And lets talk about AFL footy just to spite these baseball freaks ;)

Who do you reckon is the best coach in the AFL?
Mick Malthouse would rank very highly in my ratings. What he's done for Collingwood is amazing. From last to Second in two years is phenominal.
And it looks like Dennis Pagen is doing the same for Carlton.

[The_Swordmaster]

Is it Raquet Ball?

[Nefmariel]

Only thing I really like to keep up on is the Lakers

[munchkin]

You are all wrong, its Tennis!!!!

[omnipotent_elf]

aules right.......badminton...fastest serve at like 290 kms......


afl- best team - swannies :D

best player, despite inconsistent, is o'loughlin
best coach: roosy (sorry i am a swannies fan, although... malthouse has done a great job)

[Aulë]

Roos hasn't proven himself yet. I'll wait till the end of the year before I decide whether he's good or not.
I reckon that if Fremantle gets into the finals, Peter Bell will be a strong contenter for the Brownlow. Same for Ben Cousins is West Coast get in.
But in my opinion, Andrew McLeod is the favourite for it.

"This sport involves dancing. Music is played in the background. Individuals, pairs or teams participate at once. It is usually played 'below ground level' "

[munchkin]

Syncronized Swimming????

[Aulë]

Yes

[munchkin]

Yay! I got it right! Hold on, I need to think of a clue now...and a sport at that...

[munchkin]

Ok, heres my clue. It sucks though, it'll be hard...

"This sport can be played on two different terrains,
you can race, or maybe just play;

One of the terrains is snow,
in the Olympics you can go for the gold;

The other terrain would be water,
if you get good, the competition gets harder;

This sport can be played almost any time,
and I can't think of anything else to rhyme!"

[Aulë]

Are you referring to skiing?

[Nefmariel]

Ah!!! To many posts on this thread!

[munchkin]

Grr, Aule, stop getting these right...

You're up!

[Aulë]

This game involves lots of balls.
A 'young cat' is also on the playing arena.
It is played on grass.

[Nefmariel]

dunno

[Frodo Baggins]

croquet?

lawn bowls??


by the way pip...aint it a bit early to be talking bout brownlow?

[Aulë]

Yes, the answer was Lawn Bowls.

And it's never too early to predict the Brownlow ;)

[Nefmariel]

what the heck is lawns bowls?

[Aulë]

*gasp!*:eek:
*drops onto the floor and goes into a deep coma*

Lawn bowls is an outdoor game in which a ball (known as a bowl) is rolled toward a smaller stationary ball, called a jack (or a kitty). The object is to roll your bowls so that they come to rest nearer to the jack than those of an opponent; this is sometimes achieved by knocking aside an opponent's bowl or the jack.
To begin play, a jack is rolled to the opposite side of the rink, and it becomes the target so long as it stops at least 23 metres from the delivery mat. Players then bowl in turn. In singles and pairs (doubles) games, each player uses four bowls, distinguished to them by a coloured disc on the side.

The sport dates back to the 13th century, although there is a school of thought that claims the Egyptians were playing a form of bowls as early as 5000 BC.
Bowls historians record that the first British bowling club were founded at Chesterfield and Southampton just before the start of the 14th century.
Not long afterwards, King Edward III is reputed to have banned his bowmen from playing bowls because they were neglecting their archery practice and 200 years later, 11 of Shakespeare's plays included references to the sport, although the academics are still debating whether the Bard played the game himself.
WG Grace, the legendary English cricketer was also a bowls enthusiast and was the first president of the English Bowling Association from 1903 to 1905. The Women's Bowling Association was formed in 1931.
The game is now played in almost 40 countries and has been a featured sport at the Commonwealth Games since the inaugural event in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1930.

[FoolOfATook]

After that dissertation, never let it be said that I talk too much about baseball here. ;)

[24framesasecond]

You know, I think you talk way too much about baseball.

[FoolOfATook]

You know, I think you talk way too much about baseball.

Offline doesn't count. ;)

[24framesasecond]

Oh, sure, like i didn't see that coming! You and your offline stuff, yeah, yeah, ye-, yeah.

[24framesasecond]

So, you sure you will be there for the screening?
I am almost positive we will show "Beauty and the Beast" next screening.
Me and Pramaggiore talked about you tonight. We were defending you from some of the comments people had said. Evidently, some people from the class started a tread on some site talking about you.:p

[Beleg]

Trust Pip to put in some kind of a reference about Cricket in his post;) So whose's next???

[Aulë]

Omnipotent_elf is up next.
He'll be online in about 12 hours.

[munchkin]

How do you know that?

[omnipotent_elf]

yeah, how do you know???


and more to the point, WHO WOULD KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT LAWN BOWLS?????

this is known as the sport of kings
and invloves a lot of grass
the lowest score makes the fat lady sing
but to do so invloves a lot of class

(sorry bad rhyming)
btw: this is a 'ball' sport :D

[Aulë]

Damn- I was an hour out....;)
And isn't horseracing the sport of Kings???

But since it isn't a ball sport, I'll guess Polo

[omnipotent_elf]

sorry, meant to be king of sports.......

[munchkin]

Golf maybe??

[CelebrianTiwele]

::laughing, gasping for breath:: golf? thats not the king of sports!!!!!!!!1 hehe but ya thats wut the clue sounds like. or maybe putput :D i luv that game

[Aulë]

Hmmm, I'll have to get on the same length as an Australian to answer Omni's question......
Done! Well that was easy ;)

Now...what would be a popular Australian sport that hasn't been used...

Hmm, cricket?

[munchkin]

Oh, i thought it was golf because it uses a ball, rich people play it, its on grass, and you go for the lowest score in it. Also, people like the president play it so i though like the king would play it or something, making it be the sport of kings or the other way around.

[Aulë]

Hmm, yes, Golf sounds good too,
Although Cricket is the "King of Sports".

[Feanorian]

Also, people like the president play it so i though like the king would play it or something,

Hmmm, does George W. Bush play golf?!................I think baseball or football is more his style, he is the former owner of the Texas Rangers.

[Nefmariel]

I dun care what Bush does

[CelebrianTiwele]

HAHAHAHA or not. football is!!! american football. not soccer. although i only watch the superbowl for the commercials. but seriously, the superbowl is like a national holiday here. i like golf. take out stress on tiny lil wite ball. baseball is sooooo boring

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Nefmariel

Good for you. Now, don't get me started, because I'll unleash my fury on you if you say something against Bush. Just a warning. ;)

[Aulë]

*cough*
American football is a game for pansies. All those players are a bunch of fairies. If it were a real game, they wouldn't wear all that ridiculous padding.:rolleyes:

[omnipotent_elf]

here is the proper rhyme
nobody has it yet
and aule, sorry- not an aussie exclusive sport......

this is known as the king of sports
and invloves a lot of grass
the lowest score makes the fat lady sing
but to do so invloves a lot of class

(sorry bad rhyming)
btw: this is a 'ball' sport

NOTE: the class is supposed to give a clue
and from my knowledge, the king of sports is not cricket
the sport i'm talking about was actually named the king of sports by an english king.....

[Aulë]

Croquet! :D

[omnipotent_elf]

nice guess
i was beginning to think i.t was too tough a riddle :rolleyes:

[Aulë]

OK,

This game is played on ice
It's violations are similar to basketball
It's penalties are similar to ice hockey
The game begins much like soccer
The free passes are much like lacrosse
Six players on each team are on the playing arena at once
And there are blue and red lines on the playing surface

[CelebrianTiwele]

broomball? quite a fun game

[Aulë]

Nope

[FoolOfATook]

Curling?

[Aulë]

lol- Nope. :D

[The_Swordmaster]

Hockey?

[Legolaschick]

Um...is it Hockey?

[Aulë]

No, and No

You actually like bush! Sheesh

[Eliot]

Please, PM me your personal opinion about him. I'd love to hear it. :D

[Aulë]

http://www.bushorchimp.com

That's my opinion :D

[Eliot]

I find that (in a way) funny. I always laugh at jokes that are made at him. They don't offend me, I laugh at (pretty much) all political jokes.

[Nefmariel]

K I'll pm you now

[FoolOfATook]

Aule- looks like your prime minister is trying to bridge the baseball-cricket gap... ;)

Australian Premier Visits Yankee Stadium (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1362&e=4&u=/ap/20030504/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bba_yankees_australian_prime_minister&sid=95747885)

[Finarfin]

Can I join? Im REALLY into athletics

[Elendil3119]

Yep! :) What sports do you enjoy the most? BTW Aulë, you wanna give us a hint about your riddle? ;)

[Nefmariel]

Welcome to the guild Finarfin!

[Aulë]

The sport starts with an 'R'
:)
Gollum would like it....

[Finarfin]

Raquetball on ice! Sorry, i dont have a clue.

If anyone is still reading, i love the king of all races - hurdles. Theres nothing like the thrill of flying over a hurdle at top speed with your baggage less than two inches from certain castration.

Anyone agree?

[Legolaschick]

i can't say that I have ever jumped hurdles, but i hear that is a ton of fun.

I have not a clue about the misetery sport.

[omnipotent_elf]

no, i like my 'baggage' where it is, thankyou :p

aule, is it a type of skiing by any chance, or ice ultimate friabee?

[smeagol444]

g'day just popped in~ was wondering if i can join?
my favourites are grass hockey, soccer, rugby, athletics..
ps yes i am australian

[Aulë]

You call yourself an Australian?????
I don't see cricket or Aussie Rules Footy in your list of favourites.....;)

And all the guesses are wrong.

*sigh* I'd better give you some more hints.

It is known as the 'Fastest Game on Ice' (And a lot more exciting than Ice Hockey).
And try and think of what Gollum would like....
;)

[smeagol444]

lol ice fishing?

sorry i'm a wallabies supporter through and through. No aussie rules for me! But yes i like cricket, in fact last week i played for my highschool in the girls cricket knockout round. And yes we lost..

[omnipotent_elf]

yeah, but i'm a roosters supporter through and through yet i still manage to support the swannies :p

fastest game on ice...... can it be fishing?

[Nefmariel]

Honestly I have not a clue

[Aulë]

OK, time for hangman....


R _ _ _ _ _ _ _

You can choose 3 consanants and 1 vowel.
1 letter per person.

[Elendil3119]

Argh! I wanna say speed-skating, but that can't be right.:confused:

[Luthien Tunivel]

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if I could join. I don't like too many sports besides baseball, but that I LOVE!!! Go Red Sox! (I am the only person in New Jersey who hates the yankees)

[Eliot]

Sure you can! Welcome, Luthien!

GO CUBS!!!! They beat the Cardinals!!!!!

[Luthien Tunivel]

okay, I have a letter to guess. Is there an a?

[Aulë]

R _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Nope, no A's

You can guess 3 more consanants

[omnipotent_elf]

is there an s?

[Aulë]

Nope, no S's

[Tirmintus]

Hey, can I join. I'm in swimming and soccer. I'm also into (but not in it) track, American football, basketball and some other ones but I LOVE SWIMMING SO MUCH. Oh yeah for hangman is there an E.

OMG, you RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the Yankees too, and I love the Red Sox!! I love 'em so much, I wore a Pedro shirt on the Empire State Building and Times Square!!!

[Nefmariel]

Thats interesting but I dislike baseball

[Aulë]

Oh yeah for hangman is there an E.
No, someone has already guessed a vowel (Only 1 allowed)

a C?
Nope, no C's



R _ _ _ _ _ _ _

(No C, S or A)
You can guess two more consanants

[munchkin]

How about a T and restating your clue.

[Nefmariel]

how about a.... K

[FoolOfATook]

I've decided that this is probably some Australian sport that the rest of the world doesn't know about. ;)

More importantly, the Braves are three games up in the N.L. East!

However, I must admit that I'm bothered that two of the three National League pitchers with five wins were Braves last season, but are not this season- Moss and Millwood (Hey New York- shouldn't Glavine be on this list? ;))

[Finarfin]

Hey everyone, on Thursday im going to be starting the long road to getting picked for the Irish schools athletics team. Wish me luck!

[munchkin]

Ok, good luck!

Yay! More baseball to talk about. And the Red Sox are still in second with like a 22-whatever record!
:mad:

[FoolOfATook]

Well, as long as the Yankees staff keeps pitching the way they are (Mussina is 7-0!?!?! I mean, I know he's good, but come on, he's not that good), I fear that the BoSox are doomed to a wild card race.

[munchkin]

Yeah, no kidding, but, how long can they keep it up for? And the Red Sox are the 4th best team in baseball!

[Nefmariel]

Oy Baseball people

[The_Swordmaster]

I think we should make a thread just for baseball people.

[Nefmariel]

no kidding! And Basketball rocks!

[Aulë]

R _ _ _ E T T E

No K's, S's, C's, A's

It's not an Australian sport.
In fact, I doubt it's ever been played in Australia.
It's really popular in Canada.

How 'bout an M

[Aulë]

Nope.
No M's

Think 'Gollum' :D

[munchkin]

I have no idea if this is a sport, but RINGETTE???

[Aulë]

Yay!!!!!!!
FINALLY!!!
Ringette is correct. :D

Here is how it is played:
http://www.ringette.ca/e/about/played.htm



You're up, munchkin

[munchkin]

You're kidding, right?!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I just thought gollum and saw r _ _ _ at the begining and put ring there, but i never thought it was a sport. Sweet!

[Nefmariel]

*halleluyah music* Yay go Muchkin!

[munchkin]

Hey, nef, I got a question for you. You want to take my turn. I think your the only one whos been trying who hasn't got one, and I don't want to take my turn this time, so I was wondering if you want to take it for me?!

[Nefmariel]

Uh sure why not first I gotta think of a sport though lol. hmmm.... got one!

Ok its not that good but here are the clues: You use sticks and some kids play it, it can be played on land and on the ice.

[Aulë]

Hockey

[omnipotent_elf]

CURLING :D

[Tirmintus]

Does anyone like to swim cause if you do your cool. Go Lenny Krazelburg, anybody know how to spell his name. (he's cool, real cool)

[Nefmariel]

Yep Aule lol that was easy but your turn :D. and yeah I like to swim but I dun watch it much

[Aulë]

To play this sport, I suggest you wear pillows.
Because you need to capture a flag.
And in the process, may obtain some bruises.
This sport runs for about 20 minutes, and involves 2 teams.

Keyword: geletin

[Nefmariel]

no idea lol I'm pathetic

[omnipotent_elf]

ultimate billiards?
i have absolutely no clue....

[Aulë]

lol
Nope.

[omnipotent_elf]

capture the 'geletin' flag :D?
from now on i wont guess for this sport.......

[Nefmariel]

I have no idea yet again oy

[Tirmintus]

I've been to states in my swim team, so I am real good.

[Jesse]

Can I join this guild? I like the Minnesota Twins and Baseball in general.....

[FoolOfATook]

I'm thinking paintball.

[Aulë]

Yes, that is correct.
You're up. :)

And welcome, Tirmintus and Jesse. :D

[Nefmariel]

Yeah welcome!

[munchkin]

Yeah, welcome you two!;)

Yay! The Yankees can't win right now and the Red Sox are tied for first with them! And on Wednesday they start a series with each other, so it will be fun watching the Yankees be in second for a while.

[Aulë]

What do you guys think will happen with the Scottish Premier League?

There's one game to go, and Celtic and Rangers are tied on points and goal difference!!!
And they're both due to play easy teams on Sunday.
Looks like it'll be a shootout.

Can't wait. :D

[munchkin]

I have no idea, I don't get that around here, and I don't even know what that is!!!!

Is anyone following the NBA finals? I was just wondering, if you are, who you are rooting for. I have 2 teams, but 1 is out, and the other one beat the Lakers!:D Go Spurs!!!

[Beleg]

Now, I am here to give you a piece of my mind.

Imagine that!!! Imagine Daniel Vetori ending taking up 4/14!!! and against the Sri-Lankan's. I can't believe it!!! Phew....10/4/14/4....phew...phew...


P.S: Non Cricket Fans, don't worry.

[Nefmariel]

I won't but the worst thing has happened the Lakers are outa the playoffs no!!! Shaq, Kobe how could you! *sigh*

[Elendil3119]

I'm actually quite happy that the Lakers got knocked out!:p They've won 4 years in a row now, and I think its high time their collective ego got knocked down a few notches. ;)

[FoolOfATook]

Nitpicking- The Lakers won in 2000,2001 and 2002, but the Spurs won in 1999, so the Lakers only won three in a row, not four.

You can only imagine how much fun I am at parties... ;)

[FoolOfATook]

Yay! The Yankees can't win right now and the Red Sox are tied for first with them!

Yes, and hopefully you guys can keep the Yankees out of the postseason by dominating the East. Then, the World Series will belong to the Braves once again. After all, it's not like the Red Sox can win...without Babe Ruth pitching... ;)

[Jesse]

I want the Twins to win the World Series! Not the New York Yankees! Oh well...if they do win, I'll congratulate the fans. Just to be fair and equal.

[FoolOfATook]

I'd say the Twins were a good team, with some outstanding talent (Torii Hunter, Eddie Guardado is maybe the most underrated Closer in the game), except I'm a Braves fan, who hasn't forgotten the '91 series....;)

[Eliot]

Arggghh...... I'm so angry. The Cubs lost 3-1 in a 4-game series against the Cardinals. Though, I'm not too surprised. :rolleyes: At least they (Cubs) still hold first in the NL Central. :cool:

[munchkin]

Nooooooo, the Red Sox are loosing 5-1 in the second inning. Don't worry, I'll keep everyone updated throughout the game.;) Just kidding!

Muahahaha! Go Spurs!:D

[Anamatar IV]

Dallas! Go Dallas! I've always hated the Spurs. Go Dallas! Go Braves! Mavericks, Braves, Bavericks, Maves!;)

What people don't see is regular season baseball and post-season baseball is SOOOO different. The Yankees are a decent regular season team. They win the eastern conference but never have the best record. The Braves are an excellent regular season team, and well...actually they have a pretty good record in the playoffs....:p

[FoolOfATook]

Well, in the past 11 seasons (Since 1991, not counting the evil Strike year), the Braves have made the playoffs every season. They've made it to the Series 5 times (1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1999). They've lost in the National League Championship Series 4 times (1993, 1997, 1998, 2001). They've lost in the Division Series 2 times (2000, 2002). Of the five World Series appearances, they've won once (1995). I guess that's a good postseason record, but really, you could argue that since 1991, the Braves are 1 and 10 in October. :(

Curse you! You're a non-laker fan! I may not live in southern cali but I'm from there and I'm proud of the lakers!! along with my dad!! sorry i'm very defensive of my basketball team :D

[Tirmintus]

I want the Mavericks to win. They rule, they beat Sacremento and tnow they are going to beat the Lakers. Dallas will win I tell you. They will win MWUHAHAHAHAHAA! Oh sorry went a little crazy.

[Jesse]

It's alright. Here at TheTolkienForum.com, EVERYBODY goes crazy!!

[Nefmariel]

Lakers are out for good along with the kings the western division final playoff I think is between San Antonio and Dallas. I hope San Antonio wins

[Tirmintus]

Dallas WILL WIN. I live in Dallas. (Do not stalk me like I heard on this one story before and people died from being stalked. ((scary))

YAY! Congrats, Aulë!

[FoolOfATook]

Dallas WILL WIN.

That certainly seems like what's happening. I hope everyone's ready for a Dallas/New Jersey championship game.

Hey Steinbrenner- aren't you glad you locked Contreras into a four year, 32 Million contract? Yay for overpriced, undertalented middle relief!!! -evil laughter at Yankees for making stupid decisions-

[munchkin]

Yay for Aule!

I assume you watched the game last night, FoaT!:D Sometimes it is a good thing that Steinbrener is sooo greedy when it comes to pitching! Anyone who can throw the ball over the plate(but in this case, just throw the ball) makes 25-30 Million! I watched only 1 inning of the game last night because I had to go to bed, but it was the 7th! They walked 4 guys and gave up 5 runs! I'm happy with David Ortiz for that 2 RBI double that inning!:D An intresting fact is Manny Ramerez didn't get a hit, but got on base 3 times! I wonder if there are any Yankees fans in this guild, or FoaT and I just drove them out!;)

Ok, I'm done talking about baseball now. Well, at least for this post! The anti-baseball people must be getting tired of me!;)

[Nefmariel]

Well both teams are good only reason I want San Antonio to win is they beat the lakers so at least we woulda lost to the best.

[Legolaschick]

Hey everyone.
I am so lost with all of this baseball talk. Gee what is the mistory sport? I just can't seem to keep up.

[Elendil3119]

Its FoolOfATook's turn to post a mystery sport...;)

[FoolOfATook]

Okay, I've just about run out of sports that I can think of....

11 men on a side.
A ball that is not a sphere.
Scoring points leads to the chance to score more points.
My school's ranked sixth in the country in the preseason polls!

Easy one, I imagine.

[Aulë]

Sounds like that stupid American Football game....:rolleyes:

[FoolOfATook]

Aule's correct. I pretty much agree with him- I only watch it when my University's team plays.

[Aulë]

The objective of this game is to win each rally by serving or returning the ball so the opponent is unable to keep the ball in play. A rally is over when a player (or team in doubles) is unable to hit the ball before it touches the floor twice, is unable to return the ball in such a manner that it touches the front wall before it touches the floor, or when a hinder is called.

[Nefmariel]

I'm lost

[Legolaschick]

Well let me see if i can fill you in, it is Aule's trun to do a sport. Um... the last mistory sport was-American Football. And I think that that is it.
Sorry everyone I have been really bussy w/ things.

[omnipotent_elf]

volleyball :p

[Aulë]

Legolaschick: I've already posted the hint....:P

And it's not Volleyball:D

[Beleg]

Err, Is it Squash...

[Aulë]

Nope.
But VERY close though.

[Anamatar IV]

Raquet Ball, right? I don't know what a hinder is but I know what a rally is!:p

[Nefmariel]

Gotcha but I have not a clue

[Aulë]

Yep- Anananamatatar was correct.

[omnipotent_elf]

well, lets talk bout afl- go the swannies. Poor carlton tho, they droped a big lead earlier today...
go the WA teams too. There making it easier for the rest of us

by the way, good gues anamatar

[Nefmariel]

yeah good guess :D

[Legolaschick]

Sorry.
I have been totaly out of it.

[Aulë]

Anamatar: Hurry Up! ;)

And Omni- What happened to the Swans???? They lost!!! :eek:

[omnipotent_elf]

poor swannies :(:mad:

[Nefmariel]

huh?

[Anamatar IV]

There is no shape to describe the stadium that this sport is played in as it differs. In one set of teams, there are 10 players on each team. In another, 9 players on each. Sometimes, though, both sets will have 9 or both will have 10.

[Nefmariel]

no idea

[Beleg]

Just a small annoucement.

Finally, after the win of 23 games, Australia's winning streak has been broken! So everybody let's just give the WI a big hand for the great achievement they seemed to have concour out of nowhere. :p

P.S: I am talking about Cricket.

[Aulë]

Oh shoosh. :(
Just you wait- we'll be breaking our record again in no time... :D

[munchkin]

Could it be baseball...maybe.....proably not.......

Yes, probably is. Your turn, munchkin.:)

[munchkin]

Cool! Yay for me! Umm, I don't got one right now. Got to make one up!

[EllethBronwe]

Hey I wanna join, but I need someone to fill me in. Oh andI don't know some of the sports you guys are talking about. It's probably cause I'm and American. How do you play cricket? I love soccer but I hate that I have to pay 20 dollars just to watch a game on pay-per-view.

[Eliot]

Welcome to the guild, Elleth! :)

[munchkin]

Yay! The Red Sox beat the Yankees to increase there lead in the ALE to 2 1/2 games, and Roger "I get hurt when I get whooped" Clemens doesn't get his 300th win! Go Sox!:D

[Nefmariel]

Hey another american yay! Hi elleth I have no idea about most of these sports either :D

[Feanorian]

I love soccer but I hate that I have to pay 20 dollars just to watch a game on pay-per-view.

Some things in life just are flat out not fair and this is definitly one of them. I feel like a kid in a free theme park when the World Cup comes on.

[Tirmintus]

I bet none of yall can beat me in swimming.

[Nefmariel]

I could give you a run for your money I bet :D

[omnipotent_elf]

i'd splash and drown in the pool, if thats the competition your after

[Tirmintus]

I would like to see someone splash around and drown when they are trying to swim against me. But what if your in the shallow end? Well the Mavs lost. They could have won but NOOOOOO, they just had to lose.

[Luthien Tunivel]

Sorry I haven't been on much, but I'm back now, and ready to give a baseball report.

YANKEES LOST!!! HOORAY! They lost against detroit, and they're the worst team in the league!:D

On a sadder note, it looks like the Red Sox are going to lose too. Oh well. They'll win tommorow. (I hope...)

To any other baseball fan: If you don't know, the Red Sox traded Shea Hillenbrand to Arizona for a pitcher. I'd really like to know what you think of this trade. My opinion: NOOOOOO!!!! Grady Little is the stupidest manager of all time! How could they do this to poor Shea?

[Nefmariel]

Poor Lakers they'll beat um back next year!

[FoolOfATook]

Well, they did trade him for a former all-star pitcher. If they can only convince Kim to become their closer (he wants to be a starter), then it's a good trade. This bullpen by committee is not the kind of idea that wins championships (not that the Red Sox are the kind of team that does ;))

[Eliot]

Wow. The Cubs finally beat the Astros 1-0 in the 16th inning!! YAY!! :)

I have a question: does any baseball fan out there know what the highest number of innings there were in a single game? I'm just curious.

[Aulë]

GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

2-0
2-0
2-0
2-0
2-0
2-0

Hahahahahaha!
Told ya so, Omni ;)

*does a little dance*

[omnipotent_elf]

*throws a cream pie at dancer*

[Tirmintus]

*throws pies every where to make things worse* The Mavs lost to the Spurs. They could have won so easily but noooo, they had to let the spurs win with the 4 3 point shooting.

[Nefmariel]

Nef ducks as pies fly everywhere "Hey watch it!"

Well I know two, three years ago a Red Sox Mariners game lasted to the 21st but I don't think it was the longest...

[CelebrianTiwele]

does anyone know wuts up with roy olswald? (sp?) he didn't pitch at the astros game the other day...

You don't know how pissed I am at that trade. Shea was my favorite player sence his rookie year. I've got a t-shirt with his name and number on the back. The Red Sox officially suck, and anyone whos been in this guild long enough knows if I'm saying that, I'm pissed...
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Aulë]

munchkin: Any chance of a Sport-question soon?:confused:


And are any of you following the F1 Series?
Does anyone bar Michael Schumachar have a chance?

[Nefmariel]

I dunno

[munchkin]

You don't know much, Nef!;)

I'm working on one, Aule. Been very busy and haven't had time. But I'm getting one, don't you worry! And I don't follow F1 thing, but I've heard of him.

[Nefmariel]

Oh be quiet muchkin atleast I'm not short! *snickers* sorry couldn't help it :D

[munchkin]

Shut up!;) I actuly AM short in real life! 5' 0" and 13 1/2 years old! I hate being short...

[Luthien Tunivel]

Don't worry, I'm short too.

[Eliot]

I'm 5'10", and 14 years old. :D :)

[Jesse]

How are the Minnesota Twins doing? Does anyone know the scores of the past few games???

[Tirmintus]

I wonder if I'm tall. I'm 5'2 and I'm 12. Is this tall or short. If you say short your wrong (especially if you go to my school.) This one girl in 4th grade is smaller then a 5 year old who has a real short family.

[FoolOfATook]

The Twins are, unsurprisingly, on top of the AL Central, 3 and a half games ahead of Kansas City, although they've lost their last four games. Jacques Jones is having a good season, as is Eddie Guardado, their closer.

[Nefmariel]

I'm 13 1/2 too muchkin but I'm 5'3!

[Legolaschick]

I'm short too! 13 1/2 and 5 ft.! So don't feel bad

[Nefmariel]

Heehee I'm just glad muchkin is shorter than me :D

[Elendil3119]

Let's keep it on topic people...;) Munchkin, how are you doing with that sports riddle thing?

[munchkin]

Umm, pretty good, I guess. I've been very busy latley(look at post in the "i wont be here thread" in member announcments.), but I have a book of rittles in it and there is a good one, so I'm looking for that. Sorry I'm taking so long!

Wow, you people would be really short in my school. I'd say the average height in my school is 5'6"! And I'm just as tall as you, Legolaschick!!!!

[Nefmariel]

So whats the riddle?

[Eliot]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Cubs just beat the Yankees!!!!!!!!! They won the series 2-1!! Sorry if there's any diehard Yankees fans here. ;) :D :p

[FoolOfATook]

I sure hope they x-rayed every single one of the bats that the Cubs used in the games... ;)

[Nefmariel]

I don't really care no offence

[munchkin]

[Eliot]

Yup, you did. :D

[Nefmariel]

[Nefmariel]

[omnipotent_elf]

I'm 6 ft 5

Go the REDWINGS (the only ice hockey team i support.......) Remeber, i'm in aussie..... We dont get snow....so really not many winter sports

[munchkin]

You would be tall at my school! My best friend is wicked tall and hes like 5' 8". You would be a giant at my school!

[Eliot]

Um, are you male or female?

[Aulë]

lol

Owe is 100% male.
(Well....I think so....;) )

Anyway, did anyone else see the Stanley Cup final?
It seemed so wrong to see the Mighty Ducks lose, considering all those movies....:p

[Elendil3119]

Yes, it was such a shame to watch Anaheim lose. :( They'd never been to the Finals before this, and they've never won the Stanley Cup. Game 7 was so close...I counted at least 4 times where Anaheim almost scored. ;) In my opinion, they were the better team in the series, but NJ just 'lucked' out at the end.

[Aulë]

Well, they won the baseball last year, you can't expect them to win everything ;)

[Nefmariel]

You'd be one of the tallest at my school I think theres a kid whose like 6'3 in 8th grade.

[Aulë]

OK, just a reminder: This is the Guild of SPORTS, not the Guild of How-Tall-Are-You...:rolleyes:

Who here plays/watches golf?
Do you think anyone can beat Tiger Woods in the US Open?

[FoolOfATook]

Did anyone see that the Astros used six pitchers to no-hit the Yankees? Lately, New York seems to be the 180 Million Dollar team that plays like a 40 Million Dollar team. :D ;)

[Aulë]

Ack! Not more baseball! ;)

How about soccer?
Who thinks that Beckham will leave Manchester Utd?

[Nefmariel]

I agree with the baseball thing but I dont' watch soccer either.

[Luthien Tunivel]

Anyone see that Red Sox game last night? It was just awful. I can't belive that Grady Little didn't pinch hit Freddie Sanchez for Nixon. And Nomar saved the game twice, and they still couldn't win:( . The Red Sox really get on my nerves some times.

[Nefmariel]

Not more baseball!

[omnipotent_elf]

I'm 100% MALE!!!!!!!!!!!!

now that we have that done

GO THE SWANNIES


tiger is unbeatable i reakon.......unless one particular womn golfer thinks she can at least.....

i dont agree with sorenstram....
i know it's good for sport to have women playing in men's tournaments, but why cant a male now go and play in a womens tournament....
