Baseball 2009

[RICHARD]

I hope to get to see the Phillies beat LA tonight. It's been rough with the games starting at 10:00 on the East Coast. SEVEN wins in a row - watch out Richard. Tonight will be #8!!

Ha ha.....Match this streak..The last rain out at Ddoger Stadium was April 17, 2000!

So there!

I had to come up with a show stopper!

Good pitching game last night- Last time the D's were shut out was in August of 2005...am I getting closer?

Hokay, I'll have to play the 'Best record in the Majors' card!...

See ya tonight?

I hope to see it to the end. It won't be easy, though, as I am a sleepyhead, and God forbid it should go to extra innings!

Look at you! Staying up late, just to spite me!

Good luck and we'll compare scorecards later on!

[Pam]

I'm still awake! Why oh why did Werth try to steal with Ibanez at bat? Good game so far though.

[Pam]

ACK!!!! I should have gone to bed!

[RICHARD]

OH,
I was hoping you were sleeping the sleep of the innocent!

Ouch,
It was a well pitched game!

[Pam]

OH,
I was hoping you were sleeping the sleep of the innocent!

And what I didn't know wouldn't hurt me until morning! In fact, why am I up so early in the morning after going to bed so late? Blame it on one small black poodle boy begging to go outside!

Jamie Moyer did a good job for most of the game but I hate it when people keep referring to him as old. I guess I have one foot in the grave then. Brad Lidge wasn't able to pull off the save. Oh well, there is always another game and then another.....

Vin Scully kept pressing the point last night. Except he does in a nice way.

It goes something like, "Moyer, a veteran of many major league seasons, is a crafty pitcher...."

It's like being insulted in a nice way! Had it not been for the error, we may not be having this conversation? Today's game is at 4:00. Enjoy it and get some shut-eye!

I am getting a little tired of the Dodgers coming to life in the bottom of the 9th. On to extra innings!!!!

[RICHARD]

I am not saying anything.

[Pam]

I am not saying anything.

You are too kind! Remind me.....the next time the Phillies play the Dodgers that I don't need to tune in until the 9th inning. That is when everything happens. *sigh*

Richard, do you know how long the longest ball game (innings) was! Hubby didn't know. I guess I could Google.

Think of it this way.......1-8 are perfectly good innings!



One more game?

[Pam]

One more game?

Can't stop hoping just yet. At least tonight's game didn't go to extra innings at 1:30 in the morning. There is always a bright side.

Congrats to you....THIS time.

I WAS going to mention that....but, I have pushed my luck already.

A strange baseball article.
The one about the sharpened pencil is really bizarre.
