World Series
HOLY CRAP?! Is it a fluke?? The Diamondbacks winning again??

No, I'm not at the game. A girl's got to have some standards. I wouldn't go out with a guy just because he has world series tickets.

I guess you're not the person sitting in the box seats behind home plateon their cell phone- wearing a snake hat? OK, tell me if I'm on!

I'd go out with a guy if he had tickets. Give me his phone number!

RE: World Series
walkindude, you are still a major part of the HMWH Club. Your job is to research strip joints for us, don't worry about baseball, we have others for that.

Alpine, what a great sign! If I were at the game, my sign would read "Spock Sucks, and Gear Slut is a Moron!"

RE: World Series
I hated the Yankees growing up because I was #1 Dodger fan. Used to go to the Dodger games and watch Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, and the others.

How about those 88 Dodgers anyway...what a great year. If you want to read a great baseball (and spiritual) book, read Orel Hershiser's "Out of the Blue".

Say it ain't so, Phil. I'm a life-long Giants fan. I will have to eye with suspicion all of your subsequent posts.
How 'bout that home run record?

RE: World Series
Dunadan - The Dodger-Giant rivalry was one of the great rivalries...especially in the 60's. Both teams were awesome to watch...great baseball...but I had Dodger blue blood in my veins. I will admit the Giants could hit home runs...Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, etc. The Dodger strength was there depth in pitching.

IMHO, Willie Mays was one of the greatest "all-around" baseball players of all time. In fact, I believe he was the best. He could hit, hit for power, run, steal bases, catch, and (something many people overlook) throw. He threw a lot of guys out at the plate from center field!! If he had played at any other stadium, he would have broken Babe Ruth's home run record before Hank Aaron.

I have my eye on you too!

RE: World Series
Hey Phil, I used to love Sandy Koufax, but my allegiance would never let me admit it, openly. I agree, those games in the sixties were great to watch. I loved Marichal, but lost a lot of respect for him when he hit that Dodger. (Who was that Dodger, anyway?)
Oh, and thanks for Dusty Baker. He has been a good manager for us. It was hard to look at him with a Giants uniform on for a year or two.
Don't make any quick moves, Blue Boy!

RE: World Series
I believe it was Johnny Roseboro that Juan threw at.

I remember watching a game once where all three Alou brothers were in the outfield at the same time...very unusual.

I believe I listened to most of Sandy Koufax's no-hitters on the radio...including his perfect game. He was something else.

My interest in the Dodgers revived when Orel Hershiser had his good years. I liked Tommy Lasorda because he could get the most out of any team. Tommy lives near me and people see him around town (although I haven't). A lot of the Angel players live nearby also (I live 10 minutes from the stadium). My wife fills some of their prescriptions from time to time.

RE: World Series
Phil, Although I am a die hard Mets fan, have been since I was 5 years old, I agree with what you said about Willie Mays.

Willie was the best all around baseball player of his time. Good ol' #24. That is why I use "lapb24" as my sign name on ICQ and yahoo. The 24 is for Willie Mays! Say Hey!!

The "Sey Hey Kid!" In spite of his success, I think he remained a "regular guy"...never got a big head or complained about the wind blowing in at Candlestick Park.

RE: World Series
Yup and the best part was he was a BLACK man to boot, playing back when racial tension was still quite prevalent in the Majors. He was still a gentleman and never used his race as a crutch or excuse. Great, great ballplayer!

When NL's Vacation first came out back in the early 80s (geez...has it been THAT long), I purchased from the mag an "I Went To Wally World" t-shirt. That movie is still hilarious!

RE: World Series
Anyone see SNL after the game? Great piece on why the Yankees got slaughtered. Seems all the Red Sox fans are rooting for them, now, and we all know that anybody a Sox fan is for is gonna lose. So, Pedxing et al, we New Englanders have gotta bite the bullet and cheer on the D-backs so our nemesis can win yet another series.

RE: World Series
I was and still am for the Yanks mainly b/c NY could use a boost after 911 (lame reason, I know) and cause I don't particularly like the "D-Bax" (better reason), but I'll tell you something.

It's very clear which is the better team. And it aint the Yanks. And who deserves to win on the merits.

Hey, Steve, if you are going to pull for the Yanks, yoiu are going to get banned. LOL
I don't think the Yankees winning the Series will help heal NY. What about the Mets fans who hate the Yanks? On the other hand, someone besides NY winning might help heal baseball.

RE: World Series
The suspense is over. Bax are dominating Yanks again in hits and have now pulled ahead in runs. Just like in all the other games. How many times can the Yanks pull a rabbit out a hat when they don't deserve it?

Wow, no sooner do I write the Yanks obituary than they catch up. Still don't think they have what it takes to win tonight, even though I'm pulling for 'em.
