Baseball 2010

I would prefer watching it on NESN. The pre-game show was fantastic. Then all of a sudden it was blacked out and we get ESPN - since we live in Michigan, I guess.

Oh well, the game is worth the price of admission - no matter the location.

Switching back and forth between the Sox and Women's NCAA basketball - GO UCONN!!

Doesn't get any better than this. Sox win and so do the UCONN women.

I have one thing to say:
Welcome back to Philadelphia Placido Polanco!!!!
Go Phillies!
I love it when the visiting teams crowd cheers louder than the home team and during the 7th inning stretch you hear "it's root root root for the Phillies" loud and clear even though they are in Washington, DC!

The commish office is making changes to the game by mandating My Sharona be sung instead of "Take Me Out".

You misread the article, Richard. Actually it's "My Bologna" by Weird Al. He didn't charge as much of a rights fee.

[RICHARD]

You say Bah loh Nah and I say Bah Low Nee!

It's a miracle! The Pirates WON their home opener! Garrett Jones knocked his first home run into the Allegheny river and his second into the left field stands. A different year for the Bucs??

[RICHARD]

I just read this...

The LAD's have never allowed any tailgating at the stadium, ever...

The other article I read said that even people eating besides their cars were told to pack up the food and go into the stadium.

NO HANGING AROUND THE PARKING LOT.

What a bunch of morons. Now, I do realize the junk and littering, that and the fact that one year some idiots made a BBQ and they pushed the grill under a car which caught on fire - are obnoxious and cost money to clean up, but this has been a real turn off to the people who are not drinking or causing problems..........they just want to grab a bite and a drink before they
go and get hammered with the prices inside.

8 bucks for a twelve ounce beer?

I can buy a 12-er of Pabst and have a little money left over for a bag of chips and a can of salsa if I stay home.

And I don't have to worry about dragging my shoelaces thru the nasty floors of the restrooms where people pee on the floor because they can't hold their booze.

I don't have to worry about tailgating. I think I said this in the Baseball 2009 thread, but some things bear repeating...

Have you SEEN the Orioles play???

Unless you root for the Cubs?

Well, I missed the Phillies pre-season game on 4/2, but made it to the Opening Night game on 4/14.
We had a blast.
Started out poorly, starter Kyle Kendrick only pitched 2 innings.
But the Phillies ended up winning 14-7!

How sweet it is when the Phillies beat the Marlins. My brother is a dyed-in-the-wool Marlins fan, and before he moved to NC a couple of years ago, he lived in FL and only a few miles from the baseball stadium - had season tickets - the whole 9 yards. I just love to rub salt in the wounds when the Marlins get whooped by the Phillies. He had the nerve to send me a World Series t-shirt when the Marlins won a few years back, so for his birthday when the Phillies won, I sent him a nice commemorative mug. Payback's a biach!


BTW - I talked to Pam and she isn't coming back.

If I could have afforded it, I would've sent your brother a whole room full of World Series Championship Phillies stuff, LOL!

Last nights game got too close for comfort! Our bull pen is not measuring up, could mean disaster as the season goes on. None of our other pitchers besides Halladay can go 7, 8 or 9 innings!
