the "baseball only" thread

[milagros317]

This thread is for comments about baseball, and only for comments about baseball. This allows people like TicklKitten, who are not baseball fans, to stay out of it, and not be bored. :D


I will start by reminding everybody that the Dodgers are the defending NL West Champions. :D

[natural tickler]

I will also remind everyone the Cubs have one of the more revered pitching staffs in the majors:D

[milagros317]

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the hated jints did not make it to post season in 2004. :p :p :p

[natural tickler]

I am also reminded that Scott Boras's clients have racked up over $360 million dollars in free agent contracts

[milagros317]

It is a shame that Dodgers didn't re-sign Adrian Beltre, one of his clients. :(

[natural tickler]

It is also a shame the Cubs didn't pick up Beltran, also one of his clients:p

[Mitchell]

I think that despite their offseason losses, my Atlanta Braves, with the addition of Tim Hudson, and the return of John Smoltz to the starting pitching rotation, should win the NL East in 2005. Their cause will also be helped, if outfielders Raul Mondesi and Brian Jordan are productive and healthy. Atlanta has made some good moves this off season, they are predicted to win the National League East in 2005 in several pre season baseball publications, and I believe that prediction will come true.
Thank you milagros, for starting this thread. I love baseball.

BRAVES- Going for an unprecedented 14th straight divisional title in 2005! Woo Hoo!:D

Mitch

[milagros317]

Not to take anything away from the Braves great record of achievement in that regard, but I have always felt that the streak was interrupted in 1994. That year, the Montreal Expos led when the strike hit. But officially, it doesn't count-there are no 1994 Division champions.

[K-Skate417]

It is time to remind everybody that the Red Sox are the defending World Champions.:D

[PrincessAshley]

Go Atlanta lol

[USATKLR]

well guys and gals, i think i will throw my hat into the stadium and say that THE NEW YORK METS are lookin gvery promising this year. The lineup and the pitching are very strong this year. Plus how bad can we be when we have aquired 2 new players for the WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS. This year its the METS going to the series

[K-Skate417]

I predict the Red Sox will be in the World Series again with their improved staff.:D

[USATKLR]

it might be a tough year, but i think they might give the METS a little run if they go to the play-offs

[K-Skate417]

The Red Sox may have lost one great pitcher but they will still have a great season seeing as they no longer have to deal with his bad attitude.:D

[milagros317]

Here's all I have to say about the 2005 season:

[K-Skate417]

Spring training has begun and the regular season is only about a 2 months away.:D

[milagros317]

Robb Nen, former closer of the hated jints, announced today that he has not recovered from rotator cuff surgery and may retire. :p :p

[USATKLR]

IM NOT A BIG YANKEE FAN AT ALL.. But i do think David Well should be a little worried this year against them

[natural tickler]

This is the Cubs year this year, now with a fully healthy pitching staff. The National League is in trouble:D

[natural tickler]

This graphic display was made by a 100% partisan Dodgers fan. I say:

Chicago Cubs, the 2005 rulers of the baseball world

[milagros317]

NT, you are repeating yourself. :D

[natural tickler]

Why thank you, kind sir, and you repeat yourself when you talk about the Dodgers chances:D :p

[milagros317]

Here's something I said before but was deleted in the pruning:

Eric Gagne holds the record for most consecutive saves without a blown save, 84. (2002 to 2004, including a perfect year in 2003 with 55 saves and no blown saves, also a record.)

I think this record is like Joe DiMaggio's streak of getting a hit in 56 consecutive games. It will last for many decades. :D

[natural tickler]

I have to disagree with that stat, simply because he blew one in the All-Star game, and that game counted:D

[milagros317]

Disagree all you want, it is a official MLB statistic, and according to MLB what happens in the All-Star game has no effect on streaks. :D

[USATKLR]

enough with jason giambi. He should just admit more to what he did with the scandal

[milagros317]

I don't care about Jason Giambi. :D

[USATKLR]

neither dio i or about canseco anymore either

Just two old timers looking to get some press time

[milagros317]

Shawn Green, then of the Dodgers, has the record for most total bases in a game, with 19. (4 HR's, 1 double, 1 single)

[K-Skate417]

The Red Sox will have a great season this year.:D

[milagros317]

You Red Sox fans have a new optimism. :p

[K-Skate417]

I have watched my Red Sox DVDs many times to relive the 2004 World Series over and over again.:D :p

[milagros317]

I have watched my videotapes of the 1988 NLCS and World Series many times also. :p

[Mitchell]

Well, as most of us know, Spring Training has now started, with the first exhibition games set for this week. I read a legitimate AOL article that said John Smoltz is expected to start for the Braves on opening day, and that Tim Hudson is okay with it. This team certainly knows how to patch holes, as they have a former Cy Young Award winner who became one of baseball's top bullpen closers, starting for them on opening day after a four year absence from the rotation. For us Braves fans, let's hope that it adds up to division title number 14 in a row come October.
Oh, and Ashley, Iam touched that you posted a comment in favor of my Braves. Thank you.:D

Mitch

[K-Skate417]

I hope for all yankees players to be injured.:D :p

[milagros317]

The Dodgers won their first Spring Training game today, 4-2, over the Marlins. :D

[Mitchell]

Baseball season is only 19 short days away, and by the time it begins, I will have my digital cable package, complete with 500 channels, and be able to watch baseball games from all over the country. WOO HOOOOOO! BRING IT ON! YAH FOR BASEBALL SEASON!!!:D ;) :) :cool: :rolleyes:

Mitch

[milagros317]

The Dodgers came from behind to beat the Orioles today, 7-5. :D

[natural tickler]

The Cubs had today off, while Kerry Wood threw off the mound with no pain, and Mark Prior threw as well, had a little pain, but felt better than he did a few days ago. It seems like both will be ready when the season starts:D

[milagros317]

The hated jints lost to the Mariners today, 4-1. Too bad they didn't all get injured, too. :p

[natural tickler]

I hate the Cardinals just as much as you hate the jints, but wishing injury on people is not sportsmanlike. Besides, you'll more pleasure beating a fully healthy team, than an injured one:sowrong:

[milagros317]

When it comes to the hated jints, I admit to having unsportsmanlike feelings. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

The New York Mets got some bad news about Steve Trachsel today. So now they have to replace a guy who has won consistantly over the last 4 years for some really bad teams. Trachsel gave them an average of 13 wins and over 200 innings. How do you replace that?:sowrong:

[milagros317]

I keep hoping that the Dodgers have no more injuries this spring. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Now you know why spring training means nothing to me. Health is more important than the games itself. My regular season is now in trouble because we lost a guy who goes deep into games. And with our bullpen well we went from an 88 win team to about an 80 win team.:( :wow: :sowrong:

[milagros317]

I have no idea if Brad Penny and Odalis Perez will be healthy by Opening Day. :(

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Yeah well keep in mind that now the Mets starting staff consists of Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Kris Benson and question marks after that.:mad:

[milagros317]

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I hope they win those SPRING TRAINING games for you.:p

[K-Skate417]

The Red Sox won yesterday and the yankees lost.:D :p

[ticklingfeet4fu]

That goes under the heading of who cares. Wake me up April 3rd when I root for your Sox to whip the tar out of the Yankees.:D

[K-Skate417]

I'll do that then.:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Thank you for taking that time out to let me know this.:D

[Mitchell]

The Atlanta Braves, my favorite team, havent had a great spring, but I dont think that really matters, as back in the 80s when they had a bad team, they would always have the best exhibition record, and lose 90-100 games a year. I feel pretty confident that they will be ready, and be playing well when it matters, 9 days and 2 hours from now, at 405pm on Tuesday, April 5th, when they open their season against the Marlins in Florida. Go Braves!:D

Mitch

[milagros317]

While spring games don't count, I am happy that the Dodgers beat the Braves yesterday, 11-6. :D

[natural tickler]

However, sometimes how you play in Spring Training, more often than not, determines how well you come out the chute in the regular season:D

[milagros317]

It's always nice to beat Ted Turner's team, any time of year. :D

[natural tickler]

I wonder if Mils is aware that Bonds won't be out that long, and is looking at an late May/early June return:D

[milagros317]

I wonder if NT knows that Bonds' ex-girlfriend, Kimberly Bell, has been testifying to a federal grand jury, and that Bonds may well face charges of perjury and tax evasion. :D

[natural tickler]

I wonder if Mils realizes there is no chance in hell he is going to jail, and money will be under the table in payoffs and deals:D

[milagros317]

A federal grand jury is not going to be taking payoffs.

[Iggy pop]

When does football start up again?

[milagros317]

Hey, this is the baseball only thread. None of that other sport in here. :p :p

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Hey there my fellow baseball friends. How are you doing? I hope you are all well. Lets Go Mets.:D

[milagros317]

I picked up a foul ball during batting practice in Holman Stadium last week. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

That is so cool. I have two foul balls during regular season games. Both against the Braves.:D

[milagros317]

It was J. D. Drew who hit the foul. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

No it was Jose Reyes last year and Brian Jordan in 2001.:D

[K-Skate417]

The Red Sox are beating the yankees 7-2 in the 9th inning :woot:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

That game is over. But will the Red Sox beat the Yankees on April 3rd. That is more important than March 29th

[milagros317]

Don't worry too much about the spring games, but it is always nicer to see your team win. :D

[K-Skate417]

In fact, the Red Sox just won.:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Great so win 28 games in Spring Training and then start April at 5-20 what did spring do for you guys. If it meant something then the games would count. I have seen the Mets have great springs and then lose 15 of 18 games to start the season. It is no fun.

[K-Skate417]

I don't care about spring training too much, but it is always good to see the yankees lose even if it doesn't count towards the regular season.:p

[ticklingfeet4fu]

What does it mean for them to lose these games. I would rather see them lose 80 games during the season and win all their spring games.:D

[milagros317]

What I most root for in the spring is for the hated jints to have injuries. :p :p

[K-Skate417]

Originally posted by ticklingfeet4fu

Now there is an idea I can get behind. Although I would prefer the yankees to lose all games, period.:p :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

It is a more practical idea than to root against them in spring training games.:D

[milagros317]

Only 5 days until the regular season starts. :D

[K-Skate417]

I am excited for the month of April because of baseball season, and other things.:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I am so excited. I can't wait for it to begin.:D

[milagros317]

The Dodgers opening series couldn't be in a worse place, the home of the hated jints.

[Limeoutsider]

My Indians shall decimate all

[milagros317]

I see that fans of many different teams here are all optimistic. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I think it might be time for people to send in predictions. What does everyone think?:D

[milagros317]

I made my predictions in my office baseball pool, but here I will only say that I predict the Dodgers to win the 2005 World Series. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

You should put your predictions in the predictions thread and see how it looks in October.:p

[milagros317]

It might look pretty foolish in October. :p I will try to remember to bring a copy home from the office.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

It does not matter. I posted records and everything. I want to see how accurate I am. I don't expect to get it all right but I will brag about some that I do get right.:D

[natural tickler]

I'm gonna say George you are completely inaccurate. My Cubs will win at least 95 games and win the World Series:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Originally posted by natural tickler

For Sadira's sake if my Mets don't have a chance I will root the Cubs on as I did in the playoffs 2 years ago. I want you to explain where they are getting 95 wins though.

[natural tickler]

Because when healthy, the Cubs pitching staff leads the ML in starter's ERA. And if Prior and Wood can pitch at least 60 starts combined it will be hard to beat us:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I don't want this to be a bad year for you guys and I hope you make the playoffs and win that division.:)

[natural tickler]

He did pretty well today, pitching in a Cactus League game, and Prior is coming along just fine.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

That is Spring training. Has Woods been healthy for a whole season? I think highly of Woods but even Sadira thinks he never stays healthy and that just kills you guys.

[natural tickler]

Well the way I see it, he can show you better than he can tell you

and there is no 's' in his name:mad:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Don't be mad. I hope he wins 20 for you guys. I hope you beat the Cardinals. I hate the Cards. I would much rather root for you guys than them.:D

Now was all those Dodgers banners necessary my friend???:rolleyes:

[milagros317]

No, not really necessary. :D
Just wanted to express my feelings. :p

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Like we didn't know what your feelings were already? :p

[natural tickler]

For the Dodgers to win the division this year, they had better get a sizable games ahead lead before Barry returns. You know how he loves to feast on Dodgers pitching:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Natural he has to worry about the improving pitching strong Padres:wow:

[milagros317]

I don't plan to worry about Bonds until he is actually back in uniform on the field. Time will tell when (or if) that happens this year. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

i think he will be back because of his contract Milagros. But you don't have to worry about the Giants.:D

you better pray he doesn't, for the Dodgers to have a chance:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Natural the Dodgers have a great shot in that division. That will be a 2 team race between the Dodgers and the Padres.

[milagros317]

I have every confidence that the Dodgers will succeed in defending their NL West title. :D

Dodgers :angel:
======================
SD Pondscum
Arizona Dickheads
Colorado Rockheads
======================
the hated jints :firedevil

[natural tickler]

Well, OK, they will win the division, but we will await you in the playoffs:p

[ticklingfeet4fu]

The Padres will win that Division. Sorry Milagros.

[milagros317]

NT should know that if it comes to the Cubs versus the Cardinals in the NL Central, I will be rooting for the Cubs. :D I don't much like that St. Louis team.

TF4F should know that the Pondscum will fail in the end. :D

[natural tickler]

Neither do I, my friend. And in turn I will root for your Dodgers, only until the playoffs:D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I don't like the Cardinals either guys. I will be rooting for the Cubs also. :D

[milagros317]

I don't like Ted Turner, so I root against the Braves. :D Otherwise I don't care much who wins the NL East.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I hate the Braves as well. But the Mets might be able to slip in as a wild card:D

[K-Skate417]

The Red Sox beat the Devil Rays today.:D And the yankees lost.:p

[HisDivineShadow]

I must confess that, despite my lack of knowledge on most topics of baseball, I wouldn't mind seeing the Yankees lose every game myself. They need to be taken down a nothc, that they do.

baseball...isn't that the one where they have that long bat and try yo hit the ball and run in a circle??- or is that rounders?

Tonight is the night us baseball returns for us loyal fans. :)

[milagros317]

Yes, I will be watching. :D

I will obviously be watching the Red Sox game:woot:

The Dodgers are obliged to begin their season in the home of the hated jints. :(

Though I am not a fan of theirs K-Skate it is not just the Red Sox playing tonight.

I know that but that is the only game I care about tonight :D

[milagros317]

It should be telecast on ESPN2. :D

[Catwoman]

That's even better............ :cat:

[milagros317]

K-Skate will be rooting for the Red Sox to beat the Yankees today. :D

[K-Skate417]

I am wearing my Red Sox clothes and am ready for the game:D

[milagros317]

I just wear a Dodger hat when watching Dodger games. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

The Red Sox are laying an egg K-Skate. This sucks.

[milagros317]

There are 161 games left to play, be calm. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Red Sox buried tonight. Final score Yankees 9- Red Sox 2.

[Catwoman]

THAT WAS AN AWESOME SCORE FOR A AWESOME GAME FROM A AWESOME TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cuddle:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

THAT WAS AN AWESOME SCORE FOR A AWESOME GAME FROM A AWESOME TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cuddle:Awesome team? Catwoman that is a $200,000,000 plus dollar payroll. I mean you have paid an All-Star for every position except second base. An awesome team figures out how to win with chemistry not money. I still love you Catwoman but you must be tickled for being a Yankees fan.

[Catwoman]

I'm sorry but I've forever been a yankees fan..........nothing is ever gonna change that................... :ranty:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

So you must Catwoman pay a tickling penalty for that. :p

[Catwoman]

I must do no such thing........ HUMPH! :Grrr:

[milagros317]

Tomorrow is the Dodgers' first game of the season. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I must do no such thing........ HUMPH! :Grrr:Oh sweetie, I am just kidding. I love ya hon. Don't be mad. I am mad because the Mets blew a 6-3 lead and lost 7-6 :ranty:

[milagros317]

I don't care much about the AL, actually. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I am really mad about the Mets 7-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. :mad: :ranty: :sowrong:

[milagros317]

Looper did the opposite of what a closer is supposed to do.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Looper didn't even record an out. I am so disgusted it isn't even funny :sowrong: :disgust: :rant: :ranty:

[milagros317]

The Dodgers begin their season today with Gagne on the disabled list. :( :(

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Yeah that is a big loss. Do you want Looper?

[Catwoman]

Oh sweetie, I am just kidding. I love ya hon. Don't be mad. I am mad because the Mets blew a 6-3 lead and lost 7-6 :ranty:


You know that I'm just teasing hun.......I'm just lurking around until the Braves game comes on :lurking: :zzzzz: :twohugs: :idunno:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Dodgers and Braves both Lose. Red Sox drop a heartbreaker to the Yankees.

[milagros317]

Bad start to the season. For the next 161 games,

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Good luck to you. Has to hurt that it was to the Giants :sadcry:

[milagros317]

As far as I'm concerned, hated jints = :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil :firedevil

(And that's just their starting lineup. :p )

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Keep in mind you lost to them today with them missing the Master Blaster ( Barry " I didn't know what the cream was" Bonds ). :wowzer:

[milagros317]

I predict he won't be back this year. I hope he never plays for them again.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I know he will back. To much money he would be leaving on the table

[milagros317]

He is being paid right now, while on the disabled list. As a former steroid user, he will keep getting new injuries every time he tries to get back into playing form.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

That is wishful thinking on your part. :shock:

[Catwoman]

I Can't Believe The Braves Lost Like That! That Was Sooooooo Hurtful And Horrible..........*growls*

[milagros317]

I didn't like the way the Dodgers' season began, not at all. :(

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Catwoman that is not a big deal. The game was over in the 2nd inning. My team snatched defeat from the jaws of victory :ranty: :ranty:

[Catwoman]

ok ok..............what's the next game coming up then??????? :shake: :cry1: :sowrong:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Your team plays tomorrow in Florida and mine in Cincinnati

[Catwoman]

well can i watch yours as well ?

[milagros317]

ok ok..............what's the next game coming up then??????? :shake: :cry1: :sowrong:

Your Braves play tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7:05pm in Florida. It will probably be broadcast on ESPN. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I am really not sure Catwoman? I can't watch the Mets because our cable companies are arguing. I know it is on MSG network

[sadira]

I would like to say.....GO CUBS! and GO TIGERS!

:bump:

[K-Skate417]

Go Red Sox! I will add that.:D

[milagros317]

I may as well repeat myself.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I would like to say.....GO CUBS! and GO TIGERS!

:bump:All I have to say is Go Where? :idunno:

[milagros317]

When I say
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/20_1_80.gif,
I mean "Go to the World Series, and win it." :D

[K-Skate417]

I am watching baseball right now:D

[milagros317]

I find it strange that the Red Sox and Yankees are playing yet another weekday afternoon game.

[K-Skate417]

I find it strange as well but the important thing is that baseball is on right now :dogpile:

[sadira]

All I have to say is Go Where? :idunno:

All the way, ba------by

[milagros317]

More important to K-S is the fact that the Red Sox are leading, 2-1, in the 5th inning. :D

[K-Skate417]

I am going to break the limbs of Tino Martinez:mad:

[milagros317]

That post caused me to go back to ESPN's website, where it says that T. Martinez homered with two out in the bottom of the 5th.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

All the way, ba------byYou and Natural are apparently drinking the same Kool- Aid. You both should stay away from the candy factory because they are looking for nuts like you. :p

[K-Skate417]

You could have just assumed something similar from my tone:p

[milagros317]

Yes, I knew from your tone and smilie that T. Martinez had helped the Yankees in some way, but I'm not watching the game.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

At least you are winning for now :wow:

[milagros317]

I don't expect to be posting during the Dodger game tonight, it is televised. :D

[K-Skate417]

At least they have a base runner now:D

[sadira]

You and Natural are apparently drinking the same Kool- Aid. You both should stay away from the candy factory because they are looking for nuts like you. :p

I can always keep hoping they'll do something great, right?

[milagros317]

That's the right way to be a fan, Sadira, never give up. :D

[K-Skate417]

The game is in the top og the 7th:D

[milagros317]

I am happy that my "baseball only" thread is quite popular. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I can always keep hoping they'll do something great, right?They have been hoping for 97 years. What is changing now? :p

[SmileyTkls]

Sometimes, hoping is all you have, when you root for certain teams. *coughCubscough*

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Sometimes, hoping is all you have, when you root for certain teams. *coughCubscough*Sadira wants me to let you know you are in serious trouble :p

[SmileyTkls]

Sadira wants me to let you know you are in serious trouble :p

Hey, I'm a Cubs fan, been so for years, and even I have to admit that sometimes hope is all that keeps it alive. But I'll take trouble from sadira anytime. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Sadira and I are going to watch the Cubs tonight. She is really happy you are a Cubs fan. As for me... well um what can I say. It appears I am going to have a lot of new friends who are Cub fan. That I will have to learn to live with. :grouphug:

[SmileyTkls]

Well, I'm glad to be a fellow Cubs fan for Sadira, and I'm sure you'll find us acceptible, or at least Sadira will convince you. :D

[milagros317]

I'm hoping that Odalis Perez pitches well tonight. :D

[K-Skate417]

I hope Arroyo pitches well in the next Red Sox game :dogpile:

[milagros317]

I'm hoping that Barry Bonds gets indicted for perjury and for tax evasion. :D

[K-Skate417]

I will be switching between two games later today. :cool2:

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I will be watching several games today :cool2:

[milagros317]

Last night, the Dodgers scored 4 runs in the top of the 9th, all scored after two were out, to beat Arizona, 8-7. :D :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I know I watched the game. I also watched the Pirates beat the Padres and the Giants beat the Rockies on a dramatic 3 run homer by Grissom in the bottom of the ninth to win 10-8. I also watched the Tigers drop a heartbreaker to the Indians 4-3. I also watched the Royals pound the Angels 7-2. I was watching lots of baseball last night.

[milagros317]

I was fast asleep when it happened, but saw highlights available for free from the Dodgers' website. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I stay up late so I was able to watch the game as Vin Scully( one of the best in the business) called the action for FSN West2.

[milagros317]

I hope the Dodgers can extend their winning streak tonight in Arizona. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I am getting ready to watch that game Milagros.

[milagros317]

I can keep track of it on ESPN's website. :D

[ticklingfeet4fu]

It is always better to watch it my friend :)

[milagros317]

I have trouble staying up that late anyway, usually going to sleep at 11:30pm. :D

[K-Skate417]

I will watch 2 day games today:)

[milagros317]

Not sure which games I will watch today. The Dodger game will not be telecast here.

[K-Skate417]

I am amazed that the Mets are off to their worst start since the early 60's:wow:

[milagros317]

I can remember the early 60's, in particular 1962 when they lost 120 games. That won't happen again, I am sure. :D

[K-Skate417]

I remember the Arizona Dickheads, as you call them, lost about 120 games last year.:D:p

[milagros317]

The Dickheads got to 111 losses, to finish 51-111, which was 42 games behind the NL West winning Dodgers. :p

The Mets 120 losses in 1962 is the 20th century record.

In 1899, there was a team called the Cleveland Spiders in the NL, which went an unbelievable 20-134. :eek: :eek:

[K-Skate417]

Baseball will be on in 2 hours. :dogpile:

[milagros317]

The Dodger game doesn't start until 4:40pm.

[K-Skate417]

I only watch west coast games when no other games are on or when the Red Sox are on the west coast.:D

[milagros317]

I have tickets to 7 games in Dodger Stadium in June. :D

[K-Skate417]

All the Fenway tickets for the Red Sox/ Yankees series throughout the year are sold out already.:(

[milagros317]

Scalpers have bought up all the tickets to Mets/Yankees games here.

[ticklingfeet4fu]

I will be watching the Mets- Braves , Red Sox- Yankees , Royals- Tigers , Dodgers- D'Backs , Rockies- Giants. I will check out the other 8 games that I can and then I will watch the ESPN game tonight. :cool2:

[milagros317]

TF4F watches a lot more baseball than I do. :D

[K-Skate417]

I am excited for the Red Sox home opener tommorow:woot:

[milagros317]

K-S is happy that the Yankees are losing today. :D

[K-Skate417]

Mils will be happy the next time he gets to see the hated jints lose.:D

[milagros317]

It was fun watching them lose to the Dodgers on Wednesday night. :D

[K-Skate417]

TF4F must be happy that his Mets have a 4 run lead:D

[milagros317]

Especially since they haven't won this year yet. Hope they hold the lead and win for him. :D

[K-Skate417]

The Mets actually won today. :dogpile:

[milagros317]

That should make TF4F happy. :D
It was Pedro Martinez who pitched a complete game 2-hitter for them. :D

[K-Skate417]

I knew it was Pedro pitching:D

[milagros317]

Former Dodger General Manager Fred Claire made one of the stupidest trades of the 20th century when he traded Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields. :eek:

[K-Skate417]

I will be back after the top of the 9th :xpulcy:

[milagros317]

It is too tense for K-S to post with the tying run at the plate in the 9th inning. :D

[K-Skate417]

The game is tied now and will hopefully go into extra innings.:D

[milagros317]

That was an impressive rally by the Red Sox in the 9th inning, scoring two to tie. :D
