I lost respect for the rocket when he had the bad blond dye job.

The Yankees can have him.

The Red Sox don't need him.

KInda interested in knowing if anyone is going to tune in when Bonds breaks the HR record?


--------

I have to admit that I will watch because I want to see history and the reaction of the fans.

At home? Away?
How is he gonna act?
I know Hank Aaron probably won't watch...

Stay tuned?

I haven't watched baseball since i was about five years old. I got bored with it and now on principle alone i try to stay away from major sports teams.

I have returned to baseball in 2007 though. Or is it 2007? ;-)

THIS is what I've been waiting for!

It is SOOOOO much fun.

I went to my first game during the county's 150th anniversary party a couple months ago.

Great Giants game last night.....they lost.

With two out in their half of the ninth they score four and tie...only to lose...

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

Is Gary Sheffield a joke or what?

haha, my friend from work was at that game and she kept texting me with updates (even though i was watching on TV). the bottom of the 9th was FANTASTIC! even if they did lose

Sooooo... has anyone given vintage baseball a try? Looked up what teams are in your area?

Just curious.

DUDE!
The Bosox have just taken over the Lancaster Jethawks as a minor league team....time to take a road trip to the desert!

Saduharo Oh, The man with the MOST home runs in pro ball (850 something in the Japanese leagues) sent his congrats to Boobie Bonds.....

It said something like, "hey you broke the record....See you when you hit 800."

Love it!

The IRS has put out a press release saying that Matt Murphy, the guy that ended up with the BB ball has to pay

210,000 dollars even if he does not sell it.

They claim that the 12 dollars baseball is earned income and that because of the expected price of 600,000 dollars, Murphy is in the hole for that amount for being the owner.

Three words for Mr. Murphy.
Stay in Australia.

Sell the ball, Tell the IRS to kiss you below the belt-either side-and buy some beer, shrimp and a barby, Find a nice Sheila, thatched hut near the Great Barrier Reef and don't look back.

(sigh) the good baseball players wearing Chicago Cubs uniforms have all left and our lovable losers are back ... they've lost 3-in-a-row to Houston ... oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.

[cassiesmom]

The Cubs are only half a game behind Milwaukee in the NL Central ... they play today, but the Brewers don't. Like every Cubs fan I hate to get my hopes up ... but it's hard not to with the way they've been playing. GO, CUBBIES!

Meanwhile, the Sox lost to Toronto at home yesterday. They won two of the three games in the series, though. They're off today. This has been such an up-and-down year for them.

We also have a minor-league team, the Kane County Cougars, who are part of the Oakland A's organization. Those games are a blast because the tickets and parking are cheap compared to the Cubs and Sox, the food's good, and there are always fun things going on like give-aways or watching children run on the base paths after the game. They have fireworks several times each year, and you never know who you'll see playing that might someday be in the major league. Plus, our Cougars have won five out of their last 6! Yeay!

[RICHARD]

For the record...

I said Go Cubs a few months ago!

Damn Yankees.....

Clemons.....ugh.
