2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 3 of 91)

Reading through some of the many heartfelt eulogies, his stance on those who surpassed his records by steroid use was memorable. "I hope they never get voted into the Hall of Fame." The Minnesota Twins plan on hanging his #3 uniform every game this season in the dugout.  I remember seeing him play as a youngster when the All Star Games were first televised and my dad telling me what a great player he was.
Hammerin Harmon, gone but not forgotten.

Agreed. Now the reward is up to $50K and a billboard company in LA has donated space and the police composit sketches are there for all to see. Only a matter of time until one of their acquaintances decides the money is worth the phone call. If it keeps the "bangers" out of Chavez Ravine, all the better. Seems like some Dodger fans want to emulate the Raider hard core.

Rick that's old news, the reward has been @ $100,000.00 for a month or so and yesterday it doubled to 200K. It won't be long before someone snitches on 'em. The attendance last night could be a multi faceted problem including the ownership mess, but one things for sure you never see Chavez that empty when the Giants are in town. As far as the Raider mentality goes, it wouldn't surprise me if those 2 thugs are fans from the days the silver & black spent in Watts. The Raiders fans were a classy & proud, but peaceful group before the team went to LA. When they returned it was a whole different scene, and not a very pretty one.

I knew that 200 large would flip one of their homeboys. Just heard on the TV news that multiple arrests have been made in LA in the Brian Stow assault case. Details are sketchy, but this will no doubt break nationally later today. Hopefully this case may decrease violence @ sporting events.

                                                                                                              Think Gr$$n,

worse than I thought on Buster, looks like he's gone for the year. I do think the league needs to review the collisions at home plate, the catcher is just too vulnerable in a situation like that one last night. maybe force the runner to attempt to tag the plate rather than just barreling into the catcher full speed. I dunno, it's always been acceptable and part of the game, but entire careers can be lost in a single play. too much like football if you ask me. any thoughts?

Tres

You're right Tres, which way does the league go with this. It's always been the way you play it when there's a close play @ home. Second basemen are just as vulnerable as is every batter that steps into the batters box, that's baseball, no matter what level you play at the game has its risks.

On the Stow situation, I hope the LAPD have the right guy, but they're known to let people get away with murder, right O.J.? For all you Bonds haters out there it was made public by the Stow families attorney, at his press conference regarding suing the Dodgers over lack of security, that Barry Bonds told the Stow family he would take care of Brian's childrens college tuition. Barry made this gesture to the family last month and didn't intend it to be made public, ahh lawyers, no wonder they're the brunt of many a joke.

Hey Rick, how about a little respect for all the shortstops and second basemen that get intentionally mowed down turning double plays on a daily basis?

                                                                                                                           Think Green,

More chaos in Dodgerland. During yesterdays game a fire broke out in a store room sending smoke drifting through part of the stadium. The game continued while fans were moved from the sections above the area where the fire was being contained. The Marlins prevailed beating the Dodgers, which is the least they could do for the Giants after beating us and takin' out Posey for the season.

                                                                                                                          VIVA Gigantes!!!
