the "baseball only" thread

I will be watching the Cubs/Dodgers game too, seeing we have a AA call-up on the mound tonight 😱

 

[milagros317]

Clearly, I hope that rookie gets pounded. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Clearly, I believe he'll give us 5-6 innings, and that will be fine. Clearly Derek Lowe isn't gonna provide a no-hit outing 😱

 

[milagros317]

I like Derek Lowe better than a kid from AA. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Well, the kid would have an advantage the first time thru the lineup because they've never seen him 😀

 

[milagros317]

That sometimes works, and sometimes not. Depends what kind of stuff the kid can throw. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Looking at the offensive numbers, the Dodgers are in a horrible slump. Only one hit last night in 10 innings???

A fine man, that Tommy Lasorda 😛

 

[milagros317]

I saw him in March in Vero Beach. He didn't look happy, and that is a bad omen.

I've seen Dusty Baker once, a very philosophical fellow 😀

 

[milagros317]

I saw Dusty Baker from the stands in Dodger Stadium in the 1980's. He was a fine outfielder for us, and he is a fine manager now. 😀 (I never said anything nice about him while he was managing that SF team, of course.)

 

[natural tickler]

^out of all Dodger fans, I have never seen one that have so much animosity towards the hated jints like you 😛

 

[milagros317]

You are probably correct about that. I know other Dodgers fans that want the hated jints to go 0-162, but none that hate them quite as much as I do. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Well, for your safety, might I suggest you never go to San Francisco then

 

[milagros317]

I have been to San Francisco, but I keep quiet about baseball when I'm there. 😛

 

[natural tickler]

Mighty brave man, you are 😛

 

[milagros317]

I have relatives both in Oakland and in San Francisco, but I've never gone to a baseball game in either of those cities. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

I saw a baseball game at Turner Field, and at Pro Player Stadium

 

[milagros317]

I've seen a game at Wrigley Field, and one at Fenway Park. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

Now that the sweep is complete, we will now head to San Diego and sweep the Pondscum, to help the Dodgers out 😀

 

[K-Skate417]

I hope the Royals pull off a sweep tonight

 

[natural tickler]

The Orioles are up at least 5 or 6 games on everyone, threatening to pull away 😱

 

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Well hey there Natural. I see that the Cubs swept the Dodgers in LA for the 1st time since 1995. Sadira watched the game and enjoyed every minute of it. I think she loves Derrick Lee. The man can flat out hit.
Hey there K-Skate, Now a sweep is possible. I know Sadira is rooting for it. So am I. I hope all is well with you guys. Be back later.

 

[K-Skate417]

I'm happy Randy Johnson lost to the Royals last night for the first time since 1993
