the most exciting week of the year for all the baseball fans is coming! :cheer:

 

all the main Baseball Leagues in the world in fact are about to start their Final Series

 

on Friday night, it's MLB World Series time

 

on Saturday, instead, it's NPB Japan Series time

 

and by the end of the week, also the KBO Korean Series will be underway

 

 

MLB has its own dedicated thread, here we go for a recap of the NPB and KBO

 

 

the NPB Japan Series will be played by the Hanshin Tigers (Central League champions, defeated 4 games to 0 the 2024 JS series DeNA Baystars Yokohama in the CL Final Series) and the Softbank Hawks Fukuoka (Pacific League champions, defeated the Nippon-Ham Fighters Sapporo 4 games to 3 in the PL Final Series, after going up 3-0 and being chased until 3 games apiece before winning by a score of 2-1 in game 7)

 

the JS format is best-of-7 series, with the classic 2-3-2 scheme

 

game #1 is scheduled for Saturday, October 25th in Fukuoka @ 6.30 p.m. local time (11.30 a.m. CET, 5.30 a.m. ET in North America)

 

the following games will be played on Sunday, Oct. 26th again in Fukuoka (@ 6.30 p.m. local), on Tuesday, Oct. 28th, Wednesday, Oct. 29th and (if necessary) on Thursday, Oct. 30th in Nishinomiya (always @ 6 p.m. local)

always only if necessary, game 6 and 7 will be back in Fukuoka (always @ 6.30 p.m. local) on Saturday, Nov. 1st and Sunday, Nov. 2nd

 

 

the Korean KBO, meanwhile, has still to determine the LG Twins Seoul opponents in the Korean Series, as the Playoff Series between Hanwha Eagles and Samsung Lions is currently tied at 2-2 (it's a best-of-5 series, game 5 is scheduled for Friday @ 6.30 p.m. local time, 11.30 a.m. CET)

Hanwha Eagles defeated Samsung Lions 11-2 in game #5 of the KBO Playoff and advance to the Korean Series for the first time since 2006 (they only won 1 KS out of 6 appearances so far, in 1999)

 

they will face the RS champions, the LG Twins Seoul (KS champions in 2023, more recently)

 

the 2025 Korean Series (best-of-7 series, 2-3-2 scheme) start on Sunday, October 26th @ 2 p.m. local time (6 a.m. CET, 1 a.m. ET in North America) in Seoul

 

game #2 is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 27th (6.30 p.m. local), also in Seoul; meanwhile the games 3-4-5 will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 29th, Thursday, Oct. 30th and, if necessary, Friday, Oct. 31st in Daejeon (always @ 6.30 p.m. local time)

 

if necessary, the series will go back to Seoul for the games 6 and 7, which are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 2nd (2 p.m. local) and Monday, Nov. 3rd (6.30 p.m. local)

 

rainouts and changes to the schedule are always possible, as both teams play in outdoor stadiums

    • Apparently now Uhlaender is appealing to the IOC to add another spot and give it to her    Good grief, it's a US selection issue ultimately, they qualified two, how they award them is up to them... but she doesn't like their answer, and knows she has no legal standing to go thru those channels or CAS, so goes right to the IOC looking for special treatment. 
    • FUCK USA  FUCK YANKEES 
    • ICE Police killed him , he was a nurse , 37 yo ... fking USA of trump     
    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality will differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
    • Never wanted a prediction to be more right 
    • Two weeks before the Games officially begin, time to give my final predictions on the medal standings.     will beat  and win the medal table at the WOG for the first time in 100 years. All the (absurd) retirements of elite Norge athletes last season will have its consequences and they will drop to second.    will my bold pick to return to the top 3 after their horrendous Beijing performance, when it comes to Gold medals.     Germany will slip down and will have less than 9 golds for the first time in 50 years. Depending on how the chips fall in some sports, they could even be outside the top 5.   Home team of  will have their best Olympics in some, better than Torino, but it still won't be enough to get into the top 5.
