Baseball 2009

The White Sox have won two in a row... The Cubs have won two in a row. Tonight's Cubs/Cardinals game has been rained out. It has rained all day long. If Chicago does get the Olympics, I hope there will be an enclosed stadium built. You never know with the weather anymore.

Last night the Pirates defeated the Florida Marlins, a team with the best record in the majors. Ross Ohlendorf pitched a brilliant 2-hitter in blanking the Marlins 8-0. This put the Pirates over the .500 mark now. Also Nate McLouth put another home run into the Allegheny river!

WOW - this was too cool!!!

Hey, now. Petitte pitched from the wind-up with the bases loaded. On the second pitch, Ellsbury took a big lead and danced down the line. Petitte never looked at him. It was instructive. On the next pitch, Ellsbury did the same thing and took off. Drew stpped back, and Ellsbury slid head first over the front of home plate. Afterward, he smiled as he high-fived teammates in the dugout and came out for a curtain call. Francona couldn't help but grin, too. That's the first Red Sox player to steal home since Jose Offerman in 1999. He did it on a double steal. It was the first straight steal since Billy Hatcher did in 1994.

To defeat the Milwaukee Brewers?? Again another defeat at the hands of those Brewers! The Pirates can't win in either ballpark! Another blown lead in the ninth did them in again tonight. I think the Pirates are 0-19 against the brewers. Maybe tomorrow. . . .

Thanks Manny!

Moron.

Sigh. When he was with Boston, he was my nephew's favorite. What was he thinking? I have lost all respect for him.

Glad to see Manny out of a few games. If he had been playing last night it would have even been much worse than it was, and it was pretty bad. What a disappointment after Jayson Werth's performance the night before stealing bases - - including home!!

Go Phillies!

The thing that ices me is the way that they McC's are trying to 'sell' the club.

They recently had some kind of 'Taco/Burrito' meet and greet with one of the players-I was so effing turned off about it, I didn't post.

I just skimmed thru the article so I may be wrong on some facts.

The event was held during a homestand and one of the players was to host a some kind of all-you-can-eat spread. The tix were either 35/45 dollars- I believe that the tix to that was in addition towhatever the person paid to see the game. (The event was held after a game.) If I want to eat burritos or tacos with the Dodgers, I'll go to Taco Bell and watch the game on TV.

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

The McC's recently 'bought' the rights to the El Lay Marathon and moved it to Memorial Day weekend.

The runners complained that the weather would be too warm, the attendance was way down because people were out doing other stuff on the 'holiday' weekend and the McC's were no where to be seen.

I kinda dread the team making any kind of run for the pennant and WS.

It only means that stupid promotions and higher tix prices are ahead.
