Topic: Baseball, Anyone?

I'm thrilled that baseball season is once again upon us. It's one of the only things I'll watch from spring to fall.

I'm a long time Yankee fan, since the mid 70's but also support the Mets.

Anyone else happy about the season opener?

BTW I think I'm getting senile.  I'm watching the Yankee game and severe confusion set in.  When did the Yankees get Ventura back?  I thought Bernie Williams was gone???

Then I realized there's a rain delay, I'm watching an old game.  yikes  lol

Re: Baseball, Anyone?

I was watching the Brewer/Cubs game - they are also in a rain delay - it will
probably turn into a snow delay soon...  not a good way to start the season!

Just found out The Tribe pulled out a 10-8 victory over the Chisox on a three run double in the 8th by Casey Blake from Indianola, Iowa, that sounds familiar, anybody know where that is?

Jaci; from mil blog

"5:21 p.m. -- In his first inning as a Brewer, closer Eric Gagne has done the unthinkable: he's made fans long for the days of Derrick Turnbow.

Gagne just gave up a game-tying three-run homer to Kosuke Fukudome in the bottom of the ninth inning. That negated a stirring three-run rally by the Brewers in the top of the inning."


sure glad GagME is with you guys now -

Boston fans wanted to hang him last year

When Gagne gave up that homer my husband slammed the TV off - a couple
hours later we found out they won - but who pitched the last inning anyone know?

Re: Baseball, Anyone?

Riske closed the game for the brewers.  Gagne is the stereotypical (is that a word?)player that made his million because of steroids and is now broken down and over paid. Speaking of over paid......Barry Zito looking like a $126 million BUST! Baseball,THE MASTERS,Indy 500,Kentucky Derby and NHL playoffs (Yea all 122 of us be watching) IT'S SPRING!!!

Re: Baseball, Anyone?

Zito was taking plenty of heat here last year and the fans turned the heat on high starting this morning on the sportstalk station in SF. I thought that was the lamest thing the Giants could have done before he even put on a uniform. He hasn't fooled anybody with his 83 mph fastball in 4 years, except the Giants front office.
