Another leadoff guy on for the Cubs; another goose egg. We're goin' to the 12th!

2-run homer for Cincy; 4-2; still no outs!

Same guy who got the hit in the 9th that tied it!

Whew! Reds survived the 9th and win 4-3. Giants are a half game ahead!

Arg! Giants tied w/Chi after losing in extra inn's. Mohr decided to catch a foul fly with 1 out and bases loaded. But he tripped over the bullpen mound, wrecking his knee and couldn't even make the throw. Game over. Houston in WC lead.

How to lose a game catching a foul ball ...

Go Astros!!!!

Suddenly everone wants to know if my tickets are available, couldn't give them away a month ago.

I know the feeling. I've been stuck with Phillies World Series tickets for 10 years now.

Pssst, anybody want some good seats?

Saw the replay of Mohr's catch. Hate to criticize a guy who just ruined his knee, but what an idiot for catching the ball!


BTW, Chi & Cin in the 12th again - Reds just got a run in the top; Cubs batting....

Wow, leadoff single, failed bunt for a K, then they had Nomahhhhh sac bunt the dude to 2nd. Now 2 outs!
BowlderMan

Wow! Another 12-inning loss for the Cubbies. Unfortunately, Houston still gets to finish with 3 against Colorado at home....

Niiiiice! Walk-off homer by Bobby Crosby - A's tied for the lead again!

Greg Maddox has had 15 + wins for 17 consecutive seasons. Cy Young had 15 consecutive seasons with 15 + wins. Greg also has 1 year left on his contract with 1 more with option.

I hate Maddux - beaten us too many times. If he was on our team, I'd love him.

The players you hate always end up in the Hall of Fame. I think this is just plain wrong.

The Phillies can't seem to lose, now that the season went up in smoke. Once more the Philly fans are left holding a bag with no bottom.

How long until all players are issued cheerleading outfits with tall go-go boots?
BowlderMan

I think they had those uniforms back in the 70s, when gaudy softball uniforms were in vogue. Somewhere, I suspect a team was outfitted in velvet and sequins.

This is truly sad. Two Cleveland players were hit by a bullet in Kansas City. It really speaks poorly for your town when baseball players have to dodge bullets. This is lower than the Royals coach who took a beating in Chicago. How depressing.

Geez, if it were me, and I knew Steibrenner would send me a bunch of Yankees stuff, I would have turned them in anonymously!

I really could careless who wins. I'm not really a baseball fan. I'm just going for the free booze and to hang out with my friend.

Then root for the Rockies!!

Well you can't really root for the Rockies in the Astros house. This is Texas people will shoot for that sort of stuff.LOL

When I was there (at MinuteRon Park) a couple months ago, I wore my Cubs jersey. This was right after the Cubs had cleaned the Astros' clock, and my brother said I was getting dirty looks. I'm oblivious to that kind of thing.

Where were you sitting? There was this obnoxious Cub fan (oxymoron?) in the seats in front of me.

We had standing room only tickets, so we were walking around.

This was at that Astros/Rangers game where the Rangers punished the Astros by some phenomenal score.

Cubs are down 2 zip in the 3rd to the Braves. They have to win these 3 to have any chance. I bet they loose all 3.

I love jawing with people from the visiting team's city. That is one of the great things about baseball.

Yes, they probably will. They're completely demoralized now.

Prior had 16 strike outs yesterday and they still choked.

I'm holding onto the outside chance that we could win 2 of 3 and still get into the playoffs - the 'stros would also have to lose one (or more) of three this weekend, but I smell a sweep.
GhoulderMan

Watching these teams finish all dead even would be interesting too.

It may not even be decided on the last day of the regular season. A playoff sounds very likely.

Okay fans, I'm declaring free fan agency. Who wants a Phan in Philly? Ante up! What kind of fan package can your favorite team come up with? I'm talking merchandise, tickets, plane fare, wining and dining, and I'll root for your team.

I know this was tried before and it's not original, but I want the freebies, dammit.

Teams that wear black hats and black sleeves have a preferential advantage. After that comes navy blue, then royal blue. Red is a non-starter.

The first guy to be hit by the bullet was a rookie pitcher and the same bullet grazed another Cleveland player. Interestingly, (attention Pixie), the pitcher was going through a rookie initiation, and was dressed as a USC cheerleader.

I will refrain from commenting on whether the Cleveland pitcher was more or less attractive than actual USC cheerleaders.

She's still mad at me 'cause my unranked crappy young team almost whooped her experienced #1 team last weekend....

Then don't rub salt in the wound, man! lol...

Heh heh, I just ordered a 50-lb. bag of salt - don't expect the rubbing to stop anytime soon. Mooohahahahahahah!!

OK, here's an interesting scenario:

Cubs lose 2 of 3 to Atlanta
Giants swept by LA
Houston swept by Colorado
San Diego sweeps Arizona

Voila! 4-way tie for the Wild Card!


Hey, it could happen!
GhoulderMan

That it could.

No takers for my offer yet? Dang, I may have to stay with the Phutiles for another year.

Go Giants!!!
I can't believe you would also cheer for those lousy A's Bowlder. Charlie Finley took them away from Kansas City just when they were getting good.
