2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 4 of 91)

Ooops, 4 losses in a row for the Tribe and a shrinking lead. We know all about jinxes here in Chicago.
Cubs are in free fall and the Sox look like they just lost Peavy to the DL again.

small ball has really become an art form. Another nice win Rick, and looks like SD is on at least a mini roll, 8 or 9 out of the last 12 I think. However, we stuck the pin in the party hog last night at FLA, winning 1-0 on a total of 2 hits. One of the hits was a home run, does that still count as small ball?

I'm really surprised that my Yankees are doing as well, they may have lost Texiera for awhile, getting hit on the knee cap with a 90mph pitch aint good......Boston in Yankee Stadium doesnt get any better than that on a hot June night

Tip of the cap to the Cards Rhonda, 1 loss behind the Phils for the best record. I'm still a fan of Tony LaRussa since his days here managing Oakland and he still makes his home here and runs ARF, Animal Rescue Foundation, a very worthy cause.

I was originally a pirates fan, from when I was 6 and they won the series on Maz's homer, 1960. Continued to follow them for many years, and was excited when they made the '71 WS. Jose Pagan passed away just recently, and although he was not one of my favorite players I do remember he was important to that team. On that Sunday of game 7 vs the orioles in '71, I was not watching baseball, but instead was at an Atlanta Falcons football game. Dad got free tickets and forced me to go. I missed all of the game, came out to learn that Steve Blass had gotten the job done. Until I saw the write up on Pagan's passing I had forgotten that it was a 0-0 game in the 7th or 8th when he doubled plating two runs. The pirates held on to win 2-1 and take the series from BAL. RIP Jose Pagan.

Oh sure, kick a guy while his team is having a bad century or two!

OK Tres,  thought we were friends?    Hubby thinks the railing should be higher...I can see both sides, but if I was at the game and a high speed ball was coming towards me, I'd duck, but most people try to catch it, its instinct.  I gave my 2 tickets to a friend for last night's game, but my son was there with 65 people celebrating a graduation...he was still wet when he got home, smelled like a puppy...what a storm!!!!  There was a tornado watch about 30 minutes away from where the game was, where my daughter was volunteering for alumni weekend.  She was stationed on the top of a bldg. to give a tour of the observatory!!! She was really scared and thankful it was cancelled.

Freddy suffered a seperated shoulder, that makes 7 starters on the DL since opening day, but somehow The Giants still maintain a slim lead in the west in large part due to the bullpen arms. Sanchez is a tough loss to the anemic offense, Freddy was closing in on a .300 ave., the best on the team.
