Baseball 2007

[elizabethann]

The Red Sox are playing their home opener tonight and Dice-K is on the mound! I feel a World Series coming on this year! Go Sox!

:D

[Marigold2]

I live in the Cleveland area but am a Yankees fan.

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOL



GO CUBS!The owner of the Dodgers just raised the price of parking 5 bucks and the most expensive seat is now priced 250.00


I want to see the team, not buy it!

[Scooter's Mom]

I can't help but root for the Dodgers. I love Luis Gonzales... He's such a great guy! I spent the first 26 years of my life in Houston... and watched him play for the Astros coming up in the leagues, and the last several years have watched him play for the D-Backs here in my new state of Arizona. Gonzo was released from the Diamondbacks at the end of last season, and he went to the Dodgers.
I just love watching the Dodgers beat the D-Backs.

:D

I also like watching the Yankees. I grew up and went to school with Andy Pettite... so it's interesting to watch him play.

[LuckyNumber7]

"The Red Sox are playing their home opener tonight and Dice-K is on the mound! I feel a World Series coming on this year! Go Sox!"

It's good to have another sox fan in here :) I'm confused though - DiceK didn't pitch the home opener....the home opener was on 4/10 and Beckett pitched...and DiceK pitched the 11th. Both great games...I was at Opening Day :)


Tonight - Red Sox vs Yanks :D Schilling vs Pettitte....I'm headed to Fenway in a few hours for this one. Go Sox!!!

[RICHARD]

HOLY MOLE!


The Dodgers won last night on a walk off grand slam by R Martinin the 10th...
great game!

(LOL, I had to switch between UFC and the game...I made it just in time for the hr....)

SM,

Playboy picked the Dodgers to win it all....

I know...I just look at the sports predictions and the articles. :rolleyes:

LN&, Drink a beer for me? :eek:
.
Thanks and have fun!

[RICHARD]

It seems like the Bosox and Yanks have been playing all week..
SAVE SOME FOR THE END OF THE SEASON!

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, I don't know what's happening here! The Pirates are finally looking like a baseball team! If we can play Houston, we'll win every game! GO BUCS!!

[RICHARD]

Condolences to the St Louis Cardinal team... :(

--------------------


A seventeen inning game that the Dodgers won.... :eek:

Something scary is happening here.

-------------------

Baseball God,

(not to be confused with Touchdown Jesus)

Please don't let me get sucked into following the team and then having them implode in September.

Amen.

[elizabethann]

I guess that player that was in the car crash & died was drunk. And they found pot in his car.

[RICHARD]

Ugh,
Bonds hits another tater and what is up with Clemens?

That amazes me,
he misses ST and still gets ten zillion dollars a month.....Kinda losing respect for the Rocket.

[Lady's Human]

I lost respect for the rocket when he had the bad blond dye job.

I also have little respect for a pro baseball player who doesn't care about the fans, and charges kids for autographs.

[elizabethann]

I lost respect for the rocket when he had the bad blond dye job.



:D :D :D

The Yankees can have him.

The Red Sox don't need him.

[RICHARD]

KInda interested in knowing if anyone is going to tune in when Bonds breaks the HR record?


--------

I have to admit that I will watch because I want to see history and the reaction of the fans.

At home? Away?
How is he gonna act?
I know Hank Aaron probably won't watch...

Stay tuned?

[king2005]

Ummm Go Jays Go... Crap they suck :o
I remember when they had the winning streak for a few years! That was back int he early 90's.. I feel old lol

[RICHARD]

UGH,

I dislike the Angels-they beat the Yanks three straight....

But we get the Bosox-Yanks this week!

Redemption or ???????

[elizabethann]

This guy deserves an Oscar!
:D

[RICHARD]

Last week was a good week for hitting.


A-Rod hitting on blondes, Cubs Players hitting on each other and the Bosox and Yankees hitting batters! :rolleyes:

[RICHARD]

Is anyone watching the college World Series....


How can you cheer against a team named the Anteaters?

I laughed at the uniforms.....'EATERS' on the front!

------

The extra inning game the other day was GREAT! :)

[cassiesmom]

And... my Cubs have won ONE in a row! Woohoo! Last week they had three consecutive wins - but they can't seem to keep it all together again this year. Watching the White Sox struggling is just heartbreaking. So close, and yet so far. The second installment of the Crosstown Classic (Cubs vs. Sox) is this weekend -- so that means that our two teams can't both lose. Phew! The Bears' pre-season starts in mid-August, too.

[Almita]

i'm all for the braves, they are going to play against the red sox tonight!

[RICHARD]

The Anteater run, ran out yesterday..... :(

Oh well,

Play ball!

[cassiesmom]

The good news: The Cubs have won three in a row.
The bad news: The White Sox lost three out of three...to the Cubs.
*sigh* Baseball in Chicago...

[RICHARD]

Try rooting for the Dodgers and the Anaheim Angels of Lost Angeles.

Losers, ;)

[Freckles]

Is anyone watching the college World Series.? :)
Absolutely!
Cheers to the Oregon State Beavers ! :D

The good news: The White Sox have won three in a row!
The better news: The Cubs have won - SIX - in a row!
Rule of Chicago baseball: Never give up!

[RICHARD]

Like what is the deal with A-Rod's wife?

That's one way to get attention! :rolleyes:

[RICHARD]

The All-Star Game.

Great finish, but....

Learn the National Anthem....words and tune, please?
----------------

Why are all the pundits kissing Barry Bonds rear end?
Why is BB kissin my arse?

The same people that were "BARRYING" him are oh-so-in-love with the
cheater.


Let's see, can you spell exclusive interview?

And the idiot's comments about the players "getting together"- Oh sure,
let's talk in your private dressing area in the clubhouse, you know, the one with the T.V. set in it.

---------------

No one can accuse most of the players of taking any body enhancing drugs...
They look likt they need a meal and a uni that fits! :eek:

[RICHARD]

I forgot to post about the 'contest' before the ASG.

Did they pick the wimpiest guy to hit off of the tee?

The contest was 30 seconds to hit three balls off of a tee. I think it was a million dollars to hit the ball, on the fly, for a million dollars more than 285 feet. There were two other prizes 500,000 for something like 260 feet and 100,000 for 245.

He barely rolled it 245.

He shoulda taken some steroids.

--------------------------


Well, start your engines, Time for the second season....Good luck to all!

[cassiesmom]

The good news: The White Sox have won three in a row!
The better news: The Cubs have won - SIX - in a row!
Rule of Chicago baseball: Never give up!

Since the All-Star break, the Sox are 1 and 3. They've lost three in a row. But the Cubs - 3 and 0! They swept the Houston series (Houston was the team the White Sox played when they won the World Series). Never, never give up!

[crow_noir]

I haven't watched baseball since i was about five years old. I got bored with it and now on principle alone i try to stay away from major sports teams.

I have returned to baseball in 2007 though. Or is it 2007? ;-)

http://wiki.vbba.org/

THIS is what I've been waiting for!

It is SOOOOO much fun.

I went to my first game during the county's 150th anniversary party a couple months ago.

[RICHARD]

Great Giants game last night.....they lost.

With two out in their half of the ninth they score four and tie...only to lose...

---------------------------

Is Gary Sheffield a joke or what?

[ratdogg]

haha, my friend from work was at that game and she kept texting me with updates (even though i was watching on TV). the bottom of the 9th was FANTASTIC! even if they did lose :D

[cassiesmom]

The Cubs are only half a game behind Milwaukee in the NL Central ... they play today, but the Brewers don't. Like every Cubs fan I hate to get my hopes up ... but it's hard not to with the way they've been playing. GO, CUBBIES!

Meanwhile, the Sox lost to Toronto at home yesterday. They won two of the three games in the series, though. They're off today. This has been such an up-and-down year for them.

We also have a minor-league team, the Kane County Cougars, who are part of the Oakland A's organization. Those games are a blast because the tickets and parking are cheap compared to the Cubs and Sox, the food's good, and there are always fun things going on like give-aways or watching children run on the base paths after the game. They have fireworks several times each year, and you never know who you'll see playing that might someday be in the major league. Plus, our Cougars have won five out of their last 6! Yeay!

[RICHARD]

For the record...

I said Go Cubs a few months ago! :D

[ILUVWRIGLEY]

LOLOLOL

Richard, a man after my own baseball heart! I've live, eat, and breathe Cubbies. As you can see from my user name (which happens to also be my new puppy's name), we are kinda hooked on Chicago's Best! I hope 2007 is the year of the pennant! GO CUBBIES GO !!![I]

[RICHARD]

First place baby!

Congrats to A-Rod......

And GO Glavine!


Great stuff happening in baseball.


----------------------

And the jerk jerked 755.

Notice,

The woman in the black sleeveless sweater giving him the thumb's down as he made it to home plate and look at all his teammates run up to congratulate him......Loser.

[RICHARD]

The Lost Angeles Angels of Anaheim trimmed their rosters over the weekend...
They began to get rid of the roaches and rats in the stadium, Honest!

Coco Crisp of the Bosox was almost run over by the mascot of the Mariners.
For once, a moose runs over a man, justice?

The criticism of Bud Selig not being a huge fan of Barry Bonds isn't justified.
The media was ticked off at Bonds being an AH to reporters and writers for the longest time.

Now that Bonds is kissing tail and trying to make up for his mistreatment of the media, he's become Poor Barry. Now BB is the greatest, most loved and most misunderstood baseball player on the planet.

He should just come clean about using 'roids and get it over with.

Aaron will always be the greatest home run hitter in pro ball, end of subject.

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, I totally agree with you. Barry might as well admit that he uses them, everyone else in the country knows it. When he played for Pittsburgh he didn''t fool with steroids, he used natural ability to play baseball. He comes to S.F. and becomes a boob. Hank Aaron to me will remain the real record holder.

[RICHARD]

HE grew the 'boob' because of the steroids. ;)


Last night the Giants went into extra innings.

Wynn got a bases loaded walk off single.

The team mobbed him at home. For winning one game.


What record? ;)

[crow_noir]

Sooooo... has anyone given vintage baseball a try? Looked up what teams are in your area?

Just curious.

[RICHARD]

DUDE!
The Bosox have just taken over the Lancaster Jethawks as a minor league team....time to take a road trip to the desert! :D

-------

Saduharo Oh, The man with the MOST home runs in pro ball (850 something in the Japanese leagues) sent his congrats to Boobie Bonds.....

It said something like, "hey you broke the record....See you when you hit 800."

Love it! :D

[RICHARD]

The IRS has put out a press release saying that Matt Murphy, the guy that ended up with the BB ball has to pay

210,000 dollars even if he does not sell it.

They claim that the 12 dollars baseball is earned income and that because of the expected price of 600,000 dollars, Murphy is in the hole for that amount for being the owner.

Three words for Mr. Murphy.
Stay in Australia.

Sell the ball, Tell the IRS to kiss you below the belt-either side-and buy some beer, shrimp and a barby, Find a nice Sheila, thatched hut near the Great Barrier Reef and don't look back.

[cassiesmom]

(sigh) the good baseball players wearing Chicago Cubs uniforms have all left and our lovable losers are back ... they've lost 3-in-a-row to Houston ... oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.

[RICHARD]

Who is Rick Ankiel and what does he want from us? :D

[RICHARD]

I just figured it out,.


Notice that as he got closer to the HR record that Barry Bonds lost the gaudy earring.

"Come on Barry, lose the earring, No one will accept a home run champ with a diamond in his ear." :rolleyes:

[RICHARD]

I USED to enjoy watching the Little League World Series on the tube.

God, after a few games I am no longer interested.

Between the showboating, the parents in the stands and the all the other
commercialism the have built into the games-

It's a shame. It was a series to watch...Now the kids are all hyped up and the are really disrespectful to each other and the game.

Shoot. :(

[crow_noir]

I feel so sorry for some of the kids in LL.

I mean it's supposed to be for fun and parents go and ruin it.

What a great week for baseball.

Garret Anderson drives in 10 runs in a game.
49 runs scored in a double header - 30 to 3 the score in the first game.
The Dodgers score double digits in game.

I love to watch high scoring games! no hitters are OK-but give me a runfest any day of the week!

-------

What about those CUBS! :D

[lvpets2002]

:o Oh Oh you Must be Talking about our Great Texas Rangers.. Oh man their Double Header Last Night was AweeSome.. Go Go Texas Rangers.. :cool:

[RICHARD]

In a Little League related story....

After a loss to the tiny island of Curacao, Hugo Chavez has sentenced the Venezuelan LL team to death.

When they arrive back home they will be put into a theater and made to watch every Sean Penn movie ever made.

:eek: :rolleyes:

[cassiesmom]

GO, CUBS!

Three 7:05 PM games against Milwaukee. The first in the series starts in half an hour. Milwaukee is a game and a half back, but the Cardinals are only two back. Unfortunately, they lost a couple of winnable games to Arizona over the weekend. It looks like tonight's game won't be affected by rain. It's supposed to rain here all day tomorrow and then be fine on Thursday.

Meanwhile, down on the South Side, the Sox are having a heartbreaker of a season. It stinks to see them keep losing like this.

Then you must have loved the game between the Tigers and Yankees last night. 16 - 0 for my Tigers!!

Would have loved 10 runs for the losers? ;)

Damn Yankees.....

Did you see the game between the Cubs and the L.A. Dodgers yesterday ... L.A. 11, Cubs 3. Does that count as high-scoring with you? When I was in high school they played one where they scored 22, but they lost because the opponent scored 23! Every couple of seasons, we sometimes see that one on late night TV during the off-season.

Ironically, Milwaukee and St. Louis also lost, so the Cubs are still on top of the N.L. Central. I thought Zambrano was not at his best yesterday - between his pitching and base-running he just didn't have a good day. It's too bad - the Cubs enjoy successful seasons like this one so infrequently and then a player behaving badly (and blaming it on his personal perfectionist streak) has to go and spoil it.

[cassiesmom]

A Cubs fan on the edge of her seat here ... I know not to get my hopes up because these are the Cubs we're talking about here (remember the Steve Bartman ball incident from a few years ago?). But they are doing really well for a change.

Go, Cubs, Go!

And on the South Side ... the Sox have won three of their last 5 and Thome did get his 500th home run. It has been frustrating to watch them this season. They just haven't been able to get consistent success.

[RICHARD]

Hate the angels, love the tight races and everyone....


Vote to send Barry Bonds home rune breaking baseball to the hall or outer space!

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-bonds-756ball&prov=ap&type=lgns

[RICHARD]

The San Diego Padres got jobbed....


But,what a great game.



Hold on to your hats.....This is gonna be a great baseball for the next few weeks.

----------------------

Go Cubs, Sox and baseball fans.

[Lady's Human]

My current hopes for the playoffs?

Boston Red Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies.

Why?

I dearly want to see Brett Meyers (the wife beater) go back to Fenway so he can get booed off of the field. (If it does happen he's going to need a police escort around town. The Red Sox have gotten rid of at least two players for similar problems, and the fans forced the team's hand on the issue)

[RICHARD]

I love what Holliday, the player who scored the winning run in last night's game said today..

I don't remember if I touched home, the ump said I did....

Which really means....I was too busy bouncing my face through the batter's box to notice!


Playoffs, playoffs!

[RICHARD]

SOX!

[RICHARD]

Who are the idiots in the box seats behind the plate in Arizona? :rolleyes:

[Karen]

Yay Red Sox!

[Catsnclay]

Who are the idiots in the box seats behind the plate in Arizona? :rolleyes:


Hey now.......we got a bad call last night!!!

Ok so throwing water bottles was not the right thing to do, but it did get a message across that we didn't like the call!!


GO DIAMONDBACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:D

[pitc9]

OUCH!!
Game one last night hurt for an Indian's fan like myself.
:(
Let us lick our wounds and try, try again tonight!

[cassiesmom]

(sigh) the guys in Cubs uniforms who have been playing really well all season left right before the division series ... and were replaced by our lovable losers. Maybe next year.

[RICHARD]

Hey now.......we got a bad call last night!!!

Ok so throwing water bottles was not the right thing to do, but it did get a message across that we didn't like the call!!






Oh no!

I meant the people in the box behind the plate who looked like they were there for the beer! They were not into the game.


As for the Cubs.

Remember that everyone else's season ended....they got into the playoffs!

Chief Wahoo says,

We wait many moons for playoffs, only one game! :D


I love Stephen King but, what's with the book reading at the park? :confused:

[Karen]

I love Stephen King but, what's with the book reading at the park? :confused:

I know he suffers from macular degeneration, so he may be listening more than watching, as he may not be able to see much of the action on the field.

[RICHARD]

I know he suffers from macular degeneration, so he may be listening more than watching, as he may not be able to see much of the action on the field.

Thanks!

---------------

I wanted to say this.

I could never live in the east.

The Arizona/Colorado game ended at 3:30 in the morning for you all! :eek:

I'd be unemployed because of that!


"I'm late because the game ended at 2:00 a.m.!" :D
--------------

NO, NO, NOT ERIC GAGNE!!

[RICHARD]

The Yankees really screwed Joe Torre.

-----------

Isn't the Yellow Line a home run?

:rolleyes:

[Karen]

Ayup, they did. I don't exactly feel sorry for him, it's not like he didn't make enough to retire comfortably on in his years with them, but George Steinbrenner is also not the easiest guy to work for, and he knew that going in.

Go Red Sox!

[RICHARD]

That was dirty pool-.Getting a guy's old G-friend to sing at the game you are pitching......

Should old aquaintance be forgot? :eek:

----------------------


Gosh all those years of playoffs - I'd hate to be the next Yank's coach.

[RICHARD]

Let me understand....

Does the stah of the World Series get a cah should he hit some balls out of the pahk?

-----------

Isn't it extra if you hit the giant bottle of Coke with a home run ball? :eek:

[RICHARD]

Looks like after tonight there are only three games left, enjoy!

[Grace]

13 - 1.

Not a bad way to begin. Howevah, one does not look too fah ahead. One game at a time; one at a time.

[RICHARD]

Looks like the the cah is out of pahk,
The stahs on the Sox are driving for a world championship.
But looking that fah into the fuhchar
We could jinx or mahr them.

I tried. :rolleyes:

[Grace]

Sox win 4-3.

MVP is Mike Lowell, although I think a good case could be made for either Jacoby Ellsbury or Jonathan Papelbon.


I'm very happy.

[Karen]

Happy Happy Happy!

So many could be MVP - it really has been a team effort! Good baseball tonight, it was a close one!

[RICHARD]

The US baseball team is playing overseas, they won 3-0 today....

Congrats to the Sox....I want a duck boat. :D

[Lady's Human]

Mr. Papelbon might have some 'splainin to do.....


The DOG ate the World Series ball!
