Baseball 2005!!

[davidpizzica]

The Pittsburgh Pirates mercifully ended another losing season. Maybe a change of managers will work!

Hey Richard...it's almost game time! Blessedly I have a buffer...14-2~ One down, 2 to go before the might Red Sox fall! I'm thinking maybe you weren't wearing your hat!

Oh Karen...didn't that "clobbering" come the day after the Red Sox got thier clocks cleaned? You know, the game that clinced the DVISION CHAMPIONSHIP for the YANKEES? Oh, look!!! The Red Sox just got "clobbered!"

[RICHARD]

One down, 2 to go before the might Red Sox fall! I'm thinking maybe you weren't wearing your hat!

LOLOLOL,

Are you messing with the baseball gods again.???

Here we go, again.


Oh baseball god,

I implore you to remove the fear from the Yankee fans and let them cheer
on the Boston Red Sox so they may gain revenge for last year's LCS.

Please Mr BBG, Make the seams on the horsehide even, the rosin absorbent,
the way to first base 59.9 feet. Make the alleys to the fence wider, the first baseman's glove an inch wider, longer.

Keep my beer fresh and cold filtered, my chips crisp and my nachos warm.
Please let the games end at a decent hour and never let me see the bottom of my "base bowl"

Amen......


p.s.
I think you owe us a picture of your basebowl anyway.

Amen to that BB brother, especially the part about keeping the beer cold! Actually, raising a hot cup of Abuelita in honor of a friend! So, how can I root against my friend's team? Where do my true loyalties lie?....

GO YANKEES!

GO YANKEES!

Just let me know when the "old gal" runs out.

You can root against anything you want.....The BBG knows everything.

Go Yankees!!!

Go Astros!!

Rooting for 2 teams in different divisions that may well end up facing each other....what I mess I've got myself into it. Oh well, I went through it last year too and neither one made it!! LOL!!

[tatsxxx11]

I'm with you Jennifer! My two favorite teams!!! Pettitte just blew Atlanta away What a sweetheart! Ugh, this will be tough but I would love to have them both face each other! At least I'd be happy if either team won! I think!

GO YANKEES!

[jennifert9]

What did I say a little while ago!?!! Yankees are up!! 6-5!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!
Keep it up boys!!! What a great day for baseball!! *whisper*(so far, don't want to tempt the baseball Gods)

Where ARE all my fellow b'ball fans anyway????

Go Yankees!!!!

[tatsxxx11]

Ok, I know I'm talking to myself here but ROGER CLEMENS IS AWESOME! Jennifer, hope you're watching your Rocket Man! 17th inning and still tied! What a game!

[tatsxxx11]

Top of the 18th inning...I think that means we're about to finish up the bottom half of a double header! Think they're tired? Poor Roger...no one left in the bullpen

[tatsxxx11]

Houston Wins....Walk off homerun by the sweetest young kid...Burke! Roger Clemens, you Are the best! No Losers Here! Every Player On Both Teams Left Their Hearts On That Field! What A Game. This Is What Makes Basesball The Best Game On Earth!


Now, On To Houston Vs. Yankees In The Ws!!!


What's up with the caps???

[jennifert9]

OH BE STILL MY HEART!!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! :
My Roger is the best thing EVER!! I love him so much...but of course I am preaching to the choir here...you all know how fabulous he is....I have been watching this game since it started at 1:09pm this afternoon...Collin is PO'ed at me because I was cheering too much while he was trying to sleep.... I only have you guys to celebrate with!!!
I love the Astros! I have been following them ever since Roger went there, and perhaps that does make me a band wagon jumper...? But everyone needs a reason to love a team and Roger has introduced me to the fantastic Astro team... ssshhhh I think I love them more than the Yankees...dont' tell anyone....
Listen to this though folks, my grandmother passed away a week ago Sunday (9/25/05). She and I were very close and it was devastating to me. She was a very elegant, proud, sophisticated woman (with an obsession for cleaning!!) Leaving her in the cemetary in the ground was the worst part for me and I lost it...I wanted to curl up there on the ground with her that day and stay forever... Anyway, (so NOT trying to bring this thread down but I have something to say!!)
I hear people talk about "signs" from their deceased loved ones all the time. So I started looking for them from my Grandmother....well tonight, the kid that hit the home run to win it...his last name was Burke....

That was my mother's maiden name, my grandmother's married name....she was buried next to her first husband, Elmer Burke in the Glendale Cemetary on Burke Road....
I think my grandmother is ok now....

Maybe I am just being sentimental and looking for these things but it's there....it's out there...and it consoles me...
I am SO happy for my Astros...I want them to go all the way!!!
OK, back to a happy thread!!! GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Jennifer....YOUR ASTROS WON!!! Your Rocket Man was THE BEST And that's the Yankee spirit...following your heart! You're not a jumper, you're a true blue baseball fan and you, Clemens and Andy brought that Yankee spirit to the Astros! I got goosebumps reading about all of the connections to your beloved Grandma, the "Burke connection!" You have your signs Jennifer and now, peace in your heart at last! God and our departed loved ones speak to us, send us signs in many ways and this was your night!!! I only wish my father and brother were here to watch the game...they would have loved it! You found your signs and I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! God bless Grandma Burke! GO ASTROS, GO YANKEES! No losers there!

No Freckles...my post, all these abitrary caps??? We're haunted!

Now, on to the Yankees!

[tatsxxx11]

That's the best part, Freckles...Roger got the win! AWESOME!!!
