2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 22 of 91)

If any of you are interested in seeing the reincarnation swing of Willie Mays, check out Yoenis Cespedes of the Oakland As, the "Cuban Missle" unloads his bat as close to Willie as anyone I have ever seen, and that includes exGiant Kevin Mitchell.....his biggest problem is trying to hit everyball 500ft, makes no 2 strike adjustment.....Cespedes will destroy the alltime whiff record if he doesnt adjust his aproach, but WOW!!! very entertaining to see play....he badly miss judged a fly ball hit directly at him in the game last night, made him look lazy as he broke back at the crack and appeared to "loaf" for the ball that dropped 10 feet in front of him.....on a side note, there were alot of oldtimer players from the 1972 World Series Champions, the As honored the team last night....it looked like Dick Green (what a glove!) and Bert Camperneris could turn a double play still, I got emotional watching the festivities as well as the game, a few players went up to the booth and were interviwed as the game was played.....I cant believe Catfish Hunter went to heaven so young, it really crushed me as he was my favorite As player, he signed that free agent contract to play for my Yankees, and it made me root for him even more....he also threw a perfect game in 1968 if you all recall.....got to tweak the lyrics "that's the As in the white shoes, the white shoes...."......sorry SRV, could not resist... RIP

Shreddy,
Kenny Holzman was my favorite pitcher dating back to his days with the Cubs. I cheered for those A's teams because of him. They sure were a fun team to watch.

Ive said it once, and I'll say it forever, Bobby Valentine is a TOOL!!!....that guy has done nothing more than piss off the fans as well as the players....as Pedroia said the other day after BV called out Youkalis "that's not how WE go about our business here"....in other words, your not Redsox family Bobby, and PLEASE let the door hit you in the behind as you get fired by the seasons end.....this coming from a Yankee fan too.....one word for Valentine will describe him.....PRIMADONNA!!!!!....so long chump

Your welcome 2x's more today Tres. The Gi's took the double-dip from NYM today to pad the Bravos lead over them a little more for now. Timmy got his first win and Schierholtz & the Panda were on fire. Now your guys could help the Gigantes by messin' wit dem LA bums.

                                                                                                          Viva Gigantes!!!  Beat LA!!!

yeah, thanks for the help SF, and Dbacks. Good to see Timmy back in form, I know some "experts" are now questioning the velocity on his fastball, of course they need something controversial to talk about. Very sorry that we could not return the favor. Capuano kept our bats in check and Jair was "wild in the strike zone", he could not keep it down and did not move locations in and out. We'll try to return the favors again tonight.

the Nats are hot George, I believe they lead the division. My Braves are also pretty hot and doing well on this 7 game road trip, good to beat LA last night even though it was a last out miracle of sorts. Chipper Jones turned 40 yesterday and celebrated with a solo shot. Would be nice to win tonight and take the series.

We are hoping they do likewise at Turner in ATL. It is amazing how many of ours are caught on the warning track. I watched last week or so ago in horror as Jack Wilson hit what would have been his first homer since the middle ages, only to have it caught at the wall before it could get out.

Albert Pujols: A .219 batting average with just 4 RBIs in his first month for the last place Angels.  Oh, and did I mention 0 homers in 92 at bats?  Looks like the Cards are the big winners in the greed sweepstakes.
