Pam,
I hate to tell you this-
Baseball Jesus' season is over.
Something about a rotator cuff injury.:eek::(
We all are on our own from now on.:love:;)
-----------
Problems all across the planet and a baseball score is keeping you awake?
My fingernails are history and my heart needs a defibrillator but we will see the Dodgers in LA!!!! :cool::cool::cool:
Thank goodness I dozed off while Colorado was still leading. This old ticker probably would have given out if I had seen the 9th inning!
And the Phillies keep marching on... :D
Good thing that the first game with the Dodgers is in Cali-forn-ya. Philly is gonna get a nor'easter tomorrow with lots of rain and wind gusts that could get as high as 50 mph! :eek: Not good baseball weather at all.

Hmmmm,
This was inevitable-I was listening to a local radio show where the little missus was doing an interview as the CEO of the team.
The radio host began to comment on her arms-she's very proud of them and swims miles every day to keep them in shape!-she started to flirt with the hosts and it was pretty apparent then that things weren't right in her marriage. If that radio interview didn't end the marriage? I'd say that FM is a wussy of the grandest type.
If it had been a male CEO doing the interview that way? He would have had his bits trimmed, cleaned and hung on a wall as a trophy.
She's a smart, tough as nails bee yotch that knows exactly what side the bread is buttered on.
P.S. Check out the photos you will see of her.
Those tanned guns are always on display!;):rolleyes::D
-----------------------
The local ESPN outlet did a little speculation about the split during the p.m. show and they hinted at the turmoil with in the org. One radio host said that working for the team was pretty bad and people are ready to jump ship..
THis is one of the stupidest decisions the team has ever made-why would you make a statement about the split on the eve of a playoff appearance? Put a fork in them, the media will start to ask how it will affect the team.......
It's over Johnny!
Just like the Barrett Robbins fiasco at the SuperBowl.....as soon as I heard that news?
One down! ;):cool:
At least have a little sportsmanship and make fun of the Dodgers....Not just a 'one down' little dig, you smug Phillies fan.;)
What happened to Cole?:p:D:confused:
Nah, no teasing. The Dodgers put up a good game. It was very exciting to watch although I must admit that my palms do get sweaty especially when Manny walks up to the plate.Quote:

OK Richard, it's your turn to gloat. :p I honestly don't know why Charlie Manual took Pedro out. He said he wasn't tired and has pitched 9 innings before. It all fell apart after that and, of course, Chase Utley made that horrible throw to Ryan Howard ruining that double play which would have ended some of the mess. *sigh* Well it's back to Philly and the cold! LOL! :p:D
PHILADELPHIA :love: CLIFF LEE! What a game!!! 11-0!!! :cool::cool::cool:
That's not gloating.Quote:

I can hardly wait for the post season stories about the LADs...
THe local media are treating it as a non-story. Most of the coverage are general stories taken from the wires. That should be interesting when the writers feel comfortable enough to write about it.:eek:
MLB's bylaws say that their can only be ONE team owner. The MC C's both are stating that they are both part owners.:eek:
Great shot of the Phanatic, Pam. I see that Billy Penn is in the background doing his part in the pep rally.Quote:

Richard will just have to bear with us for a while Ellie! :p My brother e-mailed this pic to me today. I liked it a lot because I used to work in the PNB building on the 24th floor and my view out the window was Billy Penn. ;)Quote:

17 minutes 'til first pitch!
ONE MORE GAME TO GO!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU JIMMY ROLLINS! :cool::love::cool:
Just as I thought, Billy Penn never played for the Phils.
Go to sleep.
:D
Thank goodness there's a day to rest up before the Phillies play again. What an awesome game last night! This has been one heck of a series so far.
Just one more to clinch it. They can do it!!! :D
YOu too, Go to sleep.:DQuote:

LOS ANGELES – A lawyer for Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt says she has been fired after her marital separation from the team's owner.
Attorney Dennis Wasser says his client learned Thursday she was no longer employed by the Dodgers, who ended their season Wednesday with a National League championship series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
McCourt and team owner Frank McCourt separated earlier this month.
Wasser says Jamie McCourt is disappointed and saddened by her termination. He says she'll address her firing in court.
Jamie McCourt was the highest-ranking woman in Major League Baseball.
(In my best John Sterling imitation)
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES LOOOOOOOOOOOSE!,
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES LOOOOOOOOOOOSE!
:p
Thank you, thank you very much!Quote:

This was a hot topic on the sports radio today,....:eek:
For those of you not subjected to the NY Yankees radio team, the announcer, John Sterling, is possibly the most annoying homer in the business. He has stupid nicknames/catch phrases for every player on the Yankees. (If I hear the "It's an A-bomb for A-rod" call once more I'm going to rip the radio out of the car dashboard) His color commentator, Susan Waldmann, is actually pretty knowledgable about the game, but has a really, really, annoying accent. Between the pair, it's tough to listen to a Red Sox-Yankees game out here (If you're a Sox fan).
I hated Charlie Steiner when he first came to the D's-he's a good announcer,
I cannot stand Chris Berman in any way shape or form. LOL, I always dream of meeting people (stars) on the street and letting them know what I think.
I want to put my foot in the tube when CB does the "RAIDUHS" schtick.
They are literally the raid DUHS!
----------
I have to say that Vin Scully is the absolute best.
He's probably as impartial as he can be and he's a delight to listen to.
"Welcome to D Stadium tonight where the Dodgers have a date with the San Diego Padres. The Padres come in on the wave of a 5 game winning streak and for a piece of first place in the division....."
He makes it sound like you are really missing a great game and as he goes along he mixes stats with trivia that you really don't care about - but you are really interested in the player's career before he finishes.
Chick Hearn is still missed and the announcer for the El Lay Kings-Bob Miller- is another solid dude.
Chick Hearn-Lakers-40 years
Bob Miller-Kings -36 years
Vin Scully-Dodgers-59 years.
135 years of broadcasting! and it's all here in El Lay!;)
Well they are still alive. Time will tell. :pQuote:

Any of you ever hear Ernie Harwell? The only announcer ever traded for a player - back in 1948.
With the Tigers for 42 years. One class act.
The new Yankee Stadium - old already?
