Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)
gpt
*relaxed posture* Me too.  Would you believe it if I told you that the Chicago Cubs last won a World Series when the Ottoman Empire was still in existence?
human
am... no, I don't think I would believe that... ;) was that in Wikipedia ? ;) lol
gpt
Maybe a saved version of wikipedia.  I won't soon forget when the Cubs really did win, back in 2016, over my Indians.
human
Your ? ;)  at that time You were cheering for Indians ?
gpt
Yes.  I'm not the owner of the team ;) ... they're just from my hometown.
human
*tilts head* Although I'm Polish - I got that ;) lol. How are they doing these days ?
gpt
*laughs* Pretty good, on top of their division last year, but no where as good as the Red Sox.  They had an amazing start to the year, and then they won the World Series.
human
*smiles* Holy crap, nice. Probably fat bonuses for everybody... but hey... if they made their fans happy, why the heck not... they earned it !
gpt
They did.  It was almost too easy.  They have great pitchers, good hitters, and a new manager.  Normally, a new manager isn't a help, but he was from the team who won the World Series the year before, The Houston Astros.
human
*leans forward* Huh... do You think he knows a secret for winning World Series ? ;)  idk... I think it's just a well paid team ;)
gpt
Money and chemistry build winning teams, if you ask me.  Baseball is popular in the US, Japan, and a few other places.  Is it played much in Poland?
human
Not really, but we do buy baseball bats :) to go watch soccer games on a stadium :)
gpt
You buy bats?  Why?  I used to collect baseball cards, which can be quite valuable!
human
*smiles* well... when one soccer team meets other soccer team and those two towns/teams are not friendly... You need to take whatever You can smuggle to the stadium to fight off the hooligans from the other team ;) lol - baseball bats are selling good in Poland but nobody plays the game ;) lol
gpt
*sighs* ah ... that's a little scary.  I suppose without a baseball bat, my simple weapon of choice would be  ...  something else I can't think of.  Fascinating.  I do like soccer.  I'm a Croat (half really), so the World Cup was exciting this year.  Unfortunately, only the women's world cup is more popular in the US than the baseball world series.
human
Croatia won out hearts this Worldcup - seriously - great job guys   ! It was a pleasure to watch Your matches !
gpt
Do you think Modric was really the best player in the tournament?
human
In the entire tournament? Maybe not the actual best, but he showed a lot of passion for sure !
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Fair enough.  Do you think soccer coaches are important to the winning of a team, like they are in baseball?
human
they sure are, but these days with so much primadonnas in the team, I think they have a tough job to do...
gpt
*sighs* Yes, I get the impression that soccer players are paid very much.  Baseball has some of those, but only a few total and maybe one or two on each team.
human
Yeah.... that among some other reasons doomed our Polish team in World Cup... sad really...
gpt
*relaxed posture* Well, I would root for the Polish team.  I have great respect for your country.
human
as my for Yours brother ;)  what a kind thing to say, thank You ! :)
gpt
*eyes brighten* Thank you.  It was nice to talk with you.
