Would you much of a baseball fan?
gpt
A little.  I just read something about the Boston Red Sox.  They has some hard core fans.
human
I guess they are doing well at the moment.  they went so long without winning anything and now they can't stop.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah. Mookie Betts seems to really be getting some distance on his hits. 
human
That's a new name to me, seems like a name from a Star Wars movie.  I wonder if they are the best team in baseball right now?
gpt
I really don't know.  They have a picture named Porcello that is really good.  It sounds like they have a good balance between pitching and hitting.
human
I'm originally from a different country but my wife is from Cleveland.  She used to get very excited in the late nineties when they had a good team.
gpt
That's cool.  I guess FanGraphs estimates that the Red Sox have a 71% chance to win the division.  That's good for your wife.  What country are you from?
human
*laughs* England, been here over twenty years.  Have not really got into baseball, went to a few games in the past at Camden Yard and Jacobs Field.
gpt
Well, a very belated "welcome".  Are you a cricket fan?  I didn't realize that the NYT owned part of the Sox.  
human
I am, used to play to a fairly high level.  Isn't that sacrilege for the NYT to be involved with Boston, or are they just hedging their bets.
gpt
Yes, I had the same thought.  They are such rivals.  It's wild that baseball managers can actually play in the game.  I have never seen that.
human
*smiles* I guess it's in the rules, that's why they wear the uniform.  I'd love to see one of those really old managers walk up to bat one day.
gpt
*laughs* Yeah.  It would be even better if that old manager knocked it out of the park.  Babe Ruth didn't look like an athlete so why not?
human
*raises eyebrows* So who did win the world series this year?  Was it Boston or another team?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* The Sox.  They played the LA Dodgers.  I'm actually a Royals fan and it was a bad year.  As an aside, I had no idea Babe Ruth blew a World Series by getting caught stealing in 1926.  Say it ain't so Babe!
human
He was an exceptional player, but he doesn't strike me as someone who was quick on his feet.  New York should be able to forgive him
gpt
*takes a step back* I'm sure they have.  It's also hard to believe that the Cubs won back-to-back World Series games.  They have been mediocre for years.
human
Guess all the curses are going away, there must be a statute of limitations on them.
gpt
*laughs* Ha!  Yes, the "Curse of the Bambino" apparently was rescinded.  The Sox won last...
