Baseball!

[Berean]

The 2003 baseball season is underway! How many baseball fans do we have in here, and what's your team? I'm a die-hard Atlanta Braves fan, but I won't hold it against ya if you don't like them. :smile:

[Berean]

Oops, I just realized I posted this in the wrong place. I t should be in the Stadium :doh:

[jstaples4jc]

I am a Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks fan. :-)
I refuse to comment on the Braves on the grounds that it may incriminate me. :wink:

Ahh, a good old game of rounders.

Baseball. Cricket for people with short spans of attention.

[Pilgrim]

Boston Red Socks fan here. Though since I live in Detroit now I have been going to a lot of Tigers games. I can't wait until next month when the have home games scheduled on Monday afternoon becaue Mondays are my day off!

What's great bout that is Tigers games are poorly attended so I can by the $5 tickets and then move all the way down to the front row usually!

[Captain Ochre]

Go Tampa Bay Devil Rays (who needs pitching?)!

I like the Braves in the other league. I was a Braves fan stretching back to the Phil Niekro era.
Glavine pitching for the Mets is just wrong, btw.

Two good teams jstaples. I think the Phillies are going places this year.

I've been one for twelve years (ever since I've been a baseball fan). It looks like they have finally got into the swing of things this year.

Thanks EM. The Royals are off to a great start.

Boston Red Socks fan here.
That takes courage, Pilgrim :wink:

I haven't followed the Devil Rays much this year, but I always hope the low-market teams do well.

Glavine pitching for the Mets is just wrong, btw.
I agree. There's almost something unholy about it.

I meant small-market teams. :argh:

[Bill the Cat]

I am a redsox fan too. We're finally scoring enough runs to where even our bullpen can't blow it!!

:eek: go tigers, go! one of these days, we'll win again....

of course, it probably won't be for a LONG time...:frown:

It always helps to have a good bullpen. Atlanta's needs to shape up. We don't score a lot of runs.

Fick is a good ballplayer, Semmie. I am really happy with his ability as a hitter. Anyone that actually makes contact with the ball is ok with me(I hate strikeouts).

heh....yeah, fick's pretty alright. we miss him. :frown:

[Jaltus]

Go Yankees! I have been an NY fan since 1982-1983, so I am no front-runner.

Pa,

It does take courage to admit the problem. Now you just need to get beyond it. ;)

The only thing better than the Yankees winning the World Series is the Red Sox losing in it again.

[Hoser]

I feel like an outsider, being the only one cheering for the teams north of the border.

:frown:

Go Blue Jays Go!!

I also like the Expos, even though they don't really have a home stadium to play in. (thanx to our great Canadian government)

:rant:

[spacemanspiff]

looks like you got another Braves fan. Atlanta born and raised, so i am of course a Braves fan.

even now when i close my eyes i can see sid bream lumbering home... ah those were the days.:teeth:

I don't like their chances this year. maybe this will be the year that they don't win the division. but i've been saying that for years and they always prove me wrong.

Sid Bream. That brings back memories. Do you remember the Stadium Fire at the old Stadium. I was at that game. It was Fred McGriff's first game as a Brave. I still remember the smell of smoke, and Fred McGriff's homerun.

[spacemanspiff]

the old stadium fire. i kind of remember that. my best memory is getting the day off from school for the parade in '91. that was the most excited i've ever seen the city over anything (sans olympics).

since then i've lived some time in Boston and decided to pay some attention to the AL and i saw a bunch of really good Red Sox games(vs the Yankees too). boston has got a fan base that is just nuts for their team. getting to see the Yankees-Sox rivallry in person is definitly something i recomend to all baseball fans.

anyway now i'm in the midwest and a friend of mine works for the whitesox. so she may be able to hook me up with all star game tix. that would be sweet.

[Berean]

Did that really confuse you, semmie? I meant that Fick generally hits the ball when he swings the bat. That has been his reputation. When Fick was with the Tigers, he hurt Atlanta several times during inter-league(spelling?) play.

Go Yankees! I have been an NY fan since 1982-1983, so I am no front-runner.
The Yankees are a great club, Jaltus. I could never be a Yankee fan though, because of what they have done to Atlanta in the postseason.:bonk:

It's about time we got some more Braves fans in here :yipee:

Bream running home:smile:, that is one of my best memories as a Braves fan.

I wasn't happy with Atlanta's chances after their terrible start, but I like the odds much better now. They won again tonight BTW :joy:

I remember the fire and the homerun. I wasn't at the game though. I live about four hours from Atlanta, so I don't get to go to near as many games as I would like.

Jaltus, Normally I agree with you, but in this case.


GRRRRRR!!!!
:argue: :whip: :rant: :whack:

[Jaltus]

The Red Sox vs. the Yankees is like Fifi against Godzilla. You know who is going to win and that it is going to be painful to watch.

[spacemanspiff]

yeah, the Yanks usually get the best of them. but it is entertaining to see the hardcore Sox fans at fenway. they really hate the Yanks with a passion. Even at nonYankees games they yell their little chant about the yankees. I'm sure you've heard it:teeth:

[Bill the Cat]

Brrr.. We got HAMMERED :bonk: by Texas tonight. But the season is young yet. :thumb:

[Jaltus]

I am rooting for the Sox to make the playoffs....so we can sweep them. Hehehehehehe. <-- evil laugh

[Dr.GH]

My wife is at the Angels/Sox game tonight.:cheers: We are NL fans at heart, and SF Giants fans at that. Our favorite AL team is the Angels (we have gone to their games since they built the "A") but even last year we were pulling harder for the Giants.

That game 6 was the killer. Sheesh :no: :argh:

The Giant are off to great start, even with Nen on the DL.

hehe....at the time of my last post, i was seriously confused. it had been so long since anyone in detroit had made contact with the ball....

but...i am thrilled to take this opportunity to anounce detroit's win over seattle last night!!!!!!! go tig's!!!!!!!!!!

that's right, M fans....you lost to the frickin worst team in the league!!!!!!!! :rofl:

it was actually a great game....lots of dirt and irritation and....man....i haven't enjoyed a tigers game this much since, like, 1986!!!

[Dr.GH]

Man, oh man. Every one of our favored teams lost, and the Doggers won. YEEEUUUUHHHH :doh:

[Jaltus]

20-5.

[Jason Gastrich]

Pads won in 10. Awesome game. They were behind in the 10th and still pulled out a W. :cheers:

D'Backs lost in extra innings to Atlanta. :cheers:

From MLB

Quick hits:
With two consecutive wins, the Giants take a 21-9 record on the road trip. They are off to their best three-game start since the 1973 squad also recorded the same record. They have a 10-5 mark at Pacific Bell Park. ... The team has a 3-2 record in rubber matches this season. They dropped the finales vs. Philadelphia and Chicago but have eight series wins in 10 sets so far.

Giants at Florida, today, 4:05 p.m. PT

[semmie]

With two consecutive wins,

sheesh, Dr. GH! i thought you were gonna congratulate us Tiger fans!!!! maybe we'll go for three in a row!

[Jaltus]

How about 4 in a row, Tiger fans?

Anyone notice the Reds have more last bat wins than other types of wins combined?

[Bill the Cat]

How bout them RedSox keepin up with the Spankies??? Go Tigers too, I hear Satan is buying a snow blower as we speak!!!:btc:

[semmie]

"How about 4 in a row"
i'm enjoying four!

"I hear Satan is buying a snow blower"
:rofl:

[Dr.GH]

Aw well. The Giants are human after all. The nice thing is that while my fav' National League teams is the Giants, my fav; AL team has always been the Angles.


I sat through decades of losing Angles teams before last year's winners.

So, the Giants didn't do so well on a given day, but probably the Angles did alright. (OPPS so today was not a good example)!

[Jaltus]

Yankees 1, Red Sox 0

[Bill the Cat]

Well, look who decided to rub it in my face!! :thumb: HEy Jalt, Pedro is pitching tonight. We'll see if the Redsox can save serve and send it to the rubber match.

:btc:

[Dr.GH]

Sheesh.

The Giants are really missing Nen. A ninth inning 2 run hommer to tie, and the winning run walked home. It ain't easy being a Giants fan.

Even worse, the dogers are playing well. :shrug:

[Bill the Cat]

Well, Pedro just got scratched from the start because of a bad back. :doh:

[Bill the Cat]

Woo Hoo.

Red Sox 1
Yankees 1
