But David, these are the Cubs we are talking about here. One big win, but look at the big picture -this is the team that hasn't won a World Series since 1908. The Cubs are six games behind St. Louis in the NL Central right now. Lou is not happy.Quote:

I just checked the score of the NY/Boston game, I would have loved to have seen it.
I love high scoring games.
...the last MLB player to perform an Unassisted Triple Play?
Think Hard!;)
That's easy 'cause it happened yesterday. From the Phillies - Eric Bruntlett.
Did you also know that his was only the 15th in MLB history? And only the 2nd to end a game. The first one to end a game was back in 1927; that player was Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers.

Wild, this happened last night.
I just read that Ernie Harwell has cancer of the bile duct.
Best wishes to him and his family.:(
He has a wonderful attitude about everything. And he is much loved by everyone who was ever within the sound of his voice.Quote:

The Cubs are now 11 back. Not much joy in Wrigleyville. But the Sox are only 6 1/2 back, so there is still hope for the South Siders.
Jeter has tied Lou Gehrig's mark of 2,721 hits in a Yankees uniform. This record has stood for 70 years.
The Yankees are off tomorrow, but look for him to break the record on Friday, at the Stadium, against Baltimore.
At least it is Jeter, who likely will spend his career as a Yankee.
The voice of our childhood is in its sunset.
A really good article about Ernie from this morning's Freep.
An FYI - In 1948, Harwell became the only announcer in baseball history to be traded for a player when the Brooklyn Dodgers' general manager, Branch Rickey, traded catcher Cliff Dapper to the Crackers in exchange for breaking Harwell's broadcasting contract. (Harwell was brought to Brooklyn to substitute for regular Dodger announcer Red Barber, who was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer.)
I haven't visited this thread in a while. My Phils are hangin' in there but I have to say some of our recent games have caused my blood pressure to rise and my fingernails to take a beating :p It won't be long until we say goodbye to baseball season. :( Still...........GO PHILLIES!
I think we are going to see some traffic this week.......
I didn't see the Dodger game yesterday so I do not know anything....
TONIGHT COULD BE THE NIGHT THE PHILS WRAP IT UP!! (holding my breath! :eek:) ;)
lol, David's Pirates kicked the poop out of the Dodgers...Not on our field!!!:D

Ouch....
the Red Sox got the wild card spot clinched, though they haven't been doing much to deserve it the last week or so ...
but still, I hope they can turn things around! Hope DOES spring eternal.
YES!!!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool:
Finally, a woman who says YES!:DQuote:

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl
Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we were born to ride
Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more
From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)
Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere
Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)
I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it)
With most main stream sports, I only care if Im there live. But if Im in Chicago I dont think I could root for the White Sox. Other then that Im open for the home field team.
LOLOLOLOL,
What a great game.
WOW.
That was worth the wait.
I LOVE BASEBALL!!!!
Sitting here patiently waiting for the first playoff game ... Phillies vs. Rockies in an hour. :):cool:
Me too!!!Quote:

Yep I knew that! :o It was 5-0 for so long that I sort of mentally blocked out that run! Too bad CL couldn't have made it a shutout! ;)
My son works within walking distance of Citizens Bank Park and he took 1/2 day today so he didn't have to deal with after-game traffic! ;)Quote:

Does Berman ever shut up? I put up with it yesterday and almost put a screwdriver in my temple during today's game....
He's the most obnoxious idiot that I have ever heard doing baseball. It's tiring listening to him try to make foul balls sound like homeruns.
He has no social redemptory value.:rolleyes:

MOM
What a game.
I'm dancing on the ceiling at the moment.
ED,
Wake up, you'll miss the end of the game!
I came out of the kitchen with my hands wets and threw them up in the air......I splashed the Edster on accident!:o
Weather forecast for Denver, Colorado - for Saturday :eek:
Tonight
Chance of snow in the evening...then snow likely and areas of light freezing drizzle after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 1 inch. Lows in the lower 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.
Saturday
Cloudy. A 40 percent chance of light freezing drizzle and snow in the morning...then a 20 percent chance of light freezing drizzle and light snow in the afternoon. Areas of fog through the day. Highs in the lower 30s.
What a great picture of the Edster. It looks like he had totally lost interest in the game. I guess you should consider yourself lucky that he didn't change the channel while you were in the kitchen since he had the remote. :p
SNOW !!
The game in Denver has been postponed until Sunday due to weather conditions. (See post 233)
http://bestsmileys.com/winter/8.gif
Yep my brother just e-mailed me of the cancellation. Unfortunately the Sunday game will come on too late for me to watch and still make it to work on Monday morning. :(
Pam,
Are you ready?;)
Not quite counting my chickens yet Richard! :p Congrats to you though. ;)Quote:
