Where is Guinness?

They most certainly are mucker..

I bet them on Run Line -1.5 but tbh I didn`t think it would be so one sided. They need to concede at least 6 for me to lose.

Did you notice the betting on Money Line this morning? I had a few bevvies last night but I was sure they were 6/4 on Money Line but I may have been hallucinating. I went to bet them this afternoon but although they were still the underdog it was only 20/21 hence the reason why I bet the Run Line at 7/4.

Same meself went to bed at 6. No fecking idea what the price was then

Eriks chucked well

He has been brilliant. I was worried about him, having been off during a few games late in season.

The team that worries me regards our WS bets is the Red Sox. I have them e/w half the odds. Are you on the nose?

Of course. Yeah but it's anybodys now. Happy with the roll i've had sooooo....

Donaldson`s been great and started that 5 run inning with 2 out. Good start in best of 5. If they can win the second that would be great but 1-1 would also give them a chance to finish it at the Rogers Centre.

Good old Jose home run 10-0

Unbelievable stuff!

Fancy 2-0 but as ye say it would be ok at 1-1..

Gotta hurt plod this innit..

I was going to buy some Blu Rays today but before doing so I decided to seek your opinion as they are not exactly cheap. Full trilogy of The Human Condition. I await your verdict.

I've not seen all of it for a long long time mucker. Dunno about blu-ray tbh, would it make any diff?

But as a Korean masterpiece tis up to you..

Think you have the wrong one g2d. Not the Korean series but the Japanese war trilogy?

One of the towering masterpieces of Japanese and world cinema, this three-part war epic has rarely been seen in the UK, at least partly because of its dauntingly gargantuan nine hour length. Director Masaki Kobayashi (Harakiri) was attracted to Junpei Gomikawa s source novel because he recognised himself in the character of the protagonist Kaji, an ardent pacifist who came of age during the aggressively militaristic 1930s and 40s.

In part one, No Greater Love, Kaji is relocated to a mine-supervising job in Manchuria, where he is horrified by the use of forced labour. Part two, Road to Eternity, sees him conscripted into the Japanese army and forced to fight in the name of an aggressively imperialist cause. Part three, A Soldier s Prayer, deals with the consequences of Japan s defeat, not least for Kaji himself.

Throughout, Kobayashi unflinchingly examines the psychological toll of appallingly complex decisions, where being morally right risks outcomes ranging from ostracism to savage beating to death. As Kaji, Tatsuya Nakadai (Sanjuro) is in virtually every scene, providing a rock-solid emotional anchor and a necessary one in Japan, where the film was hugely controversial for being openly critical of the nation s conduct during WWII. But it s this willingness to confront national taboos head-on that makes it such a lastingly powerful experience.

10-1 nice one

Don`t know much about Kobayashi. Is he any good as director?

Nope, right one wrong country. Been thinking of Korean horror films all day..

He is, have ye never watched it?

If ye haven't the 3rd part will need a strong heart..

No mate, never seen it before. Been going to buy it for years as it has some very good reviews but never got around to doing so. Came across it by chance today when looking for Blu Rays, but thought I would seek your opinion first. You`ve never recommended a dud before so I trust your judgement.

G2D is the forum Jekyll and Hyde!

Am rooting for Texas because of their multiple former Brewers but half want the Jays so our AP bets can lock horns in the ALCS, assuming Boston gets past Cleveland. Whatever happens, I'd love to see Odor slug Bautista again - highlight of the season for me, although I've not been as attentive as usual this year. Waiting for 2018 when the Brewers become relevant again!

Off to bed before I get sucked into watching this game!

g2d has been on Blue Jays, like me, before season started.

Stay up and watch the game MH it will be a cracker. Can`t beat post season play.

As i said mucker, whether it's worth getting blu-ray is up to you. I say that because it's so long. The 3rd part is absolutely fantastic (soldier). And worth any price..

Its only game 1. If it were an elimination game I'd stay up. The two WC games were great, although beloved forumite orioles may not agree!

Thanks guinness. I will heed your advice. Criterion edition dvd is half the price, so I will go for that one.

Mighty impressive Pitching by Porcello there after hitting the 1st batter. Wicked stuff.

Dangerous boy isn't he
