Baseball 2009

The Pete Rose thing?

They proved that he did bet on games. Now, did they ever nail him for fixing games?

Theoretically, you can lose a game to cover a points spread, but I don't remember him ever being accused of that.

They let the home run record stand - broken by an alledged steroid user-
And who owns the season record for homers?

So, we have cheaters on the field who have left a 'legacy' on the field and then a bobo who gained his shame off the field- so where does that put us?



Not a Rose fan, nor a Bonds fan. These two are not a good role models or good spokespeople for the game.

Going back to the Manny steroids thing?

I posted that people in El Lay don't care about the players, they care about the stats.

Look at the setup here?

The left field section is "mannywood" they sell the dreadlock wigs at 25 a pop, you can go to a game with a buddy for '99' dollars. All things manny are sacred.

The management made the 'MR' disappear for a while then brought him back with fanfare and song and dance. The McCourts know that MR still had golden eggs to produce, that is why they took such a low profile during the whole incident.

Bad enough bringing a player into the fold, then having him crash and burn.
I'd love to have seen that happen in the midwest or anywhere baseball is spoken.

Every spring, I get all 'baseball giddy' then someone just effs it up for me.

I go back to watching the game. I don't need a score card, I look at some kid wearing the team numbers that belonged to some player that's long retired and I want to go back to when BB was fun.

Pete Rose was fun, I disliked him because he beat up my teams. Now, he's some old retired player that did it hard, and was always crashing into things.

He played the game.

Then you have people that played games to play the game.

Only God knows who did what and he ain't telling!

The Pirates are losing. Any Pirate player who gets to be a star on the Pirates gets traded! Yesterday, Jack Wilson and Ian Snell were traded to Seattle for some minor leaguers and now last night I hear that Freddie Sanchez was traded to San Francisco! Nyjer Morgan gets going good and HE's traded to Washington with Adam LaRoche going to Boston. I can understand a team rebuilding itself, but the Buccos have taken it to a new level! It's a good way to guarantee more losing seasons.

I disagree,

Baseball IS trivia, all other sports are numbers.

DUDE,
CFB Win for the LADs last night on a 3 run bottom of the 9th homer!

Okay - off the top of my head without googling. And you said player, not batter.

1. Single
2. Walk
3. HBP
4. Sent in as a pinch runner
5. Fielder's choice
6. Reached on error

Now I have to come up with 2 more.

This is fun, Richard
