Baseball '08!

I hope that you respect the rules.

Rule 1000, Section 1a

There is no crying in baseball.

I beg to differ with you. There is crying, tears of joy, in baseball. Especially on a Wednesday night at the end of October, with a full moon, and your team has just won the World Series for the first time in 86 years.

Bah, A Purist!


I know I will watch tomorrow's game from NY...

[RICHARD]

Loved the game.

Tidbits on the last game in NY.


People were searched for tools before they entered the stadium.
LOL, I thought about that. I would have had a screwdriver and pliers in my pocket.

People were allowed onto the warning track before the game, But were not allowed to take dirt or grass from the field......

I did see the players take dirt off of the mound. That was funny. Of course, the Yankees memorabilia will go on sale, on the internet, for huge bucks. Those seats with the Yankee logo would be fun to have in my house.

(THis coming from a long time Yankee hater-I'll never forget '77 and '78!)

I loved the shot of Reggie sitting next to Val Kilmer and everyone ignoring Kilmer.

(this coming from a long time Reggie hater-I'll never forget you stepping into that ball Russell threw to Garvey and Garvey whining like a girl!)

How come there was no video of the Dodgers winning the 81 series at Yankee stadium?

(This coming from a long time Yankee hater!)

And why did Arizona have to win the 01 series? I wanted NY to win so badly.

(This coming from a long time sports fan!)

I loved the old farts - Berra, Skowron, Whitey Ford, Mrs. Phil Rizzuto; the Mantle and Maris and Munson 'kids', the Murcer family; Don Larsen - wonderful!!

Did you watch any of the game? Yogi and Whitey were in the broadcast booth for awhile. Whitey tells how, during Larsen's perfect game, he had to warm up in the bullpen starting about the 6th inning. Coach told him - 'You know Don gets tired early sometimes.'

[RICHARD]

Did you watch any of the game?

I watched parts of it. The camera work was really crappy. Those lenses got misty a few times.

[RICHARD]

Hold on to your hats.......


It's time for PLAYOFF BASEBALL!

Hearts will be broken,
Dreams realized.
Catches made.
Outs recorded!


I miss the days when a pitcher twirled a game.

Game sevens will be forced!
Records set.
Gooses will get bumped and in the end there is a botle of champagne
siting on a shelf somewhere. Waiting. Half of it will be spilled, absorbed into sweaty shirts, dirty pants and someone's hair.

And one kid, far away too young from being able to even look at any alcoholic beverage, will be waiting for their turn one day!

I love baseball!

Go Cubs!

I'm so disappointed in the Cardinals.

It's all my fault, too. I should have never gone to see them play; since that night they've done nothing but suck! LOL
