Mmmmm, Baseball

“Less than 14 days till pitchers and catchers report. Some of the Phillies are reporting early to get ready. Ain't life just great?”

“Go 'stros”

“either that or they have gotten so fat over the winter that they need that extra workout”

“Nah not a fan of baseball! Hockey season till JUNE!!!!”

“Mapleleaf, the Lansdale expatriot who roots for (blech) the Yankees! (double blech)

Turned her back on her home town!”

“Yes Tango, we know. (shhhh, don't anybody say baseball when Tango's in the room. You know how it upsets her!)”

“I married treebeard and I learned the error of my ways.”

“Man, when those Yankees fans show up in Baltimore, ya might as well go home.”

“Headed for Fla the middle of March can't wait..”

“Yankees fans didn't used to show up in Balmer. A, there was no empty space in Memorial Stadium, B, they could not stand having National Bo poured over their heads. That was when Frank, Brooks, Boog, and Earl were runnin things!”

“'Course, back in those days there was one other reason Yankees fans didn't show up in Memorial Stadium: embarassment.”

“Who cares about the Y's and the O's, when the GIGANTES have shored up their outfield by signing that budding superstar Jose Cruz, Jr.!! Man, we're practically in the Series with that move - woo hoo!!”

“Do I detect a note of sarcasm?”

“From a Giants fan?”

“Go Red Sox! Nomar rules!”

“The Red Sox go as quietly as they can Artex, and yes, Nomar rules. Unfortunately, ruling does not necessarily translate into a World Series ring. Refer to The Curse of the Bambino.”

“Yankees are down, 1-0 in the 4th inning!

Go Red Sox! Break the curse of the Bambino!”

“Mini Soda now leading the Wanks 3-0...”

“'Tis a flesh wound..”

“Die Yankees! Go Cubs, Twins and Red Sox!

My great-uncle worked the grounds and scoreboard at Wrigley for 40+ years. He'd be pleased....he'd be shocked is more like it.”

“Wrigley is a great place. I haven't been in a while, but I need to go back again sometime.”

“Top of 8; Mussina now out; still 3-0....”

“3-1. Hey, at least the Yanks didn't get skunked, right?”

“The Twins' bullpen really came through.

Anybody see the documentary "The Curse of the Bambino" on HBO? Really, really well done. Definitely worth a view, even if you aren't a total baseball nut.”

“Yeah, saw it. But didya catch Bryant Gumbel last night on "Real Sports"? He pointed out that he and all the other Cubs fans in the world wanna puke (my paraphrasing of his words) whenever they hear the Sox fans whining. He had a pretty good point!


BTW, Giants ace Schmidt shut down the fish on a 3-hitter...

Gagne who?”

“After squandering countless scoring opportunities, including loading the bases with no outs and then not bringing any of them home, the Cubs managed to beat the Braves 4 to 2 tonight. This was their first post-season victory since 1989, when they won one game against the Giants in their last attempt to reach the World Series.”

“Go Cubbies! Who couldn't root for the Cubs?

Just 142 days till pitchers and catchers report for us Phightins Phans!”

“I was an A's fan, ... until they deserted us.”

“Thought it would be a dark day for the Bay Area today when I hit the sack last night. Had to go to bed - pain meds wiped me out (another story). Before the game we went out to the street and watched the jet fighters fly by a few times (we're exactly 1.8 miles from the ballpark). Wish I could get out of work to go to the game today, dagnabbit!”

“B-Man, what did you go and do now?”

“Damn Red Sox! Let me down again.”

“Red Sox's SUCK!

Lets Go Yankees!!!”

“The Curse will never be reversed....”

“Not much could get me to root for the Red Sox, ... unless they were playing the Yankees!”

“New MLB motto: "Major League Baseball, Farm Club For The Yankees".

Yankees suck!

Let's go Giants!

BTW, Geo, you and I have something in common.”

“Geezr, Sore back and possibly reinjured hip getting stuff out to the curb for the annual garbage "anything goes" day.... Those Tylenol w/codeine I got from the rib incident up in Jasper work pretty well....”

“Ok, the Bombers got one back!


Treeman dodges tomatos thrown from representatives of every state in the union!”

“I am the biggest Minnesota fan right now. Crush the Yank Me's! I think the Twins will get it done in the dome. (Worst place to play a baseball game in all of MLB.)
Go Giants!”

“OK!!! Dodged one tomato there...”

“They're just getting rolling!
Go Bronx Bombers !

Geo,
My favorite yankee hate sign was in the 2001 WS against Arizona when a fan had a card borad sign that said.
"It takes more then 9 yanks to beat my Big Unit" The camera showed it and the anouncers did not say a word. haha”

“Wanna dodge some tomatos with me, Snafu?”

“Sure!
How about some Rotten Cabbage too!”

“*#^@& Yankers! Go Twinks!”

“C'mon ya pansies! Is that all you got? You can do better than that!”

“It's not so much that I hate the Wanks.


It's that I hate George Steinbrenner.”

“I notice that this year y'all are Yank-Me's fans and not Mutts fans. Could this have something to do with bandwagons?”

“I been cheering them on at Yankee Stadium since the football Giants were playing there (now that's a while ago)!”
