Hmmm, Artex didn't post to this thread after last night's game. I wonder why. Not too many teams get Curt Schilling for a BP pitcher. How did the Yank-mes rate it?

Glad to see the Boston Fans revived the Schil-O-Meter (pronounced as in kilometer).

Hey, what's up with Gary Sheffield pushing that Red Sox fan?!?! Roid Rage? I think so! The fan didn't even touch him. But it allowed Big Pappi to score all the way from first. Bwahahahahaha!!!! Man, it's never been more true:

AH... now you totally have to bite me, that fan interfered with the play, the batter should be out.

RED SOX WIN!!!!
The World Champions continue their dominance of the Yankmees, woohoooooo!

Silly Backslacker... The only thing that fan interfered with was Sheffields steroid tainted mind. :-)

Season series tied 3-3. 13 games left. I still say that was interference, ya don't stick your fist in the face of a player going for the ball. The batter should have been out!

Hmmm, ... Artex suddenly appears after the Dead Sox win.

Actually, I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's a crying shame both teams can't lose!

In case neither of you noticed, the Yank-mes and Dead Sox are in a three-way tie for last place.

And Los Gigantes are in last place too.

So are the Phutiles.

First place teams: Wishington, Lost Angeles, Toadronto

Both the home and road jerseys of the Dodgers read Dodgers, not Brooklyn.

At some earlier time in their history, I think their road jerseys did read Brooklyn, but it was not in the script style these jerseys use.

Actually, nice tribute, even if they didn't get it historically right. The caps are historically correct.

Jeez, Don Newcomb, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Junior Gilliam, Duke Snider, Johnny Podres, Jackie Robinson, ... I hated those guys!
Geobeet

I'll take a stab and say... the Brooklyn home jersey (whities) did not say Brookly but Dodgers. The away uni's had Brooklyn (greys).

Am I right?

I just scored tix to tonight's game, ... behind home plate. Gotta take my cell phone and call all my friends to see if I'm on the tube!

Hmmm, well, it's some distance behind home plate, but good enough. The cost is right.

Off to the ol ballyard!

Geo, you're one of those guys with the cell phone trying to get on camera? Man, you should watch a game with my old man. It's so funny to see a 75 year old cutting up on those people. Typically, its SF fans and he's all, "look at that cupcake...probably calling his boyfriend. Crap like that is ruining baseball! Oh Christ, look how he's waving!"

It's quite funny how worked up he gets about it. He'll even turn the channel when too many fans have their phones out.
Rockman

No, I hate it too. I said it with tongue firmly in cheek.

"Hey, am I on TV? Did the camera show me?"

Talk about a narcissist!!!

Okay, so the Phlubs lost to the Rock-me's. But a gal in the upper deck snagged a foul ball on the fly. They presented her with a glove for making the play of the game.

Another foul ball bounced off the facing of the upper deck and hit some woman square on the head. The guy who eventually caught the ball gave it up to her. That was a neat thing to see.

Then they have the kissing cam. The camera has a heart vignette and they show all these couples who, when they see their mugs on the scoreboard, have to kiss. So they were all mugging it up for the cameras, and this one gal just put her hands out, palms down, like, "No way am I kissing you, you frog!"

So it was a fun night at the ballyard, and all for free. (Except for the $10 parking, the $15 for the program and media guide, and an arm and a leg for two beers. Jeez, three beers cost nearly as much as a case! And they don't even have a happy hour!

The other thing that drives me crazy is all the people who get up every other inning and make the entire row stand up so they can get out, and then they come back while the action is going on. I told one group that if they came back it would cost them a beer to let them back to their seats. They didn't return.

Oh, almost forgot. I got a free hat too. I even prostrated myself to get a second free hat for the guy who gave me the tickets. Actually, his is not free. It cost him $80. But it's the nicest $80 hat I ever saw. Even has a McDonald's logo on the back.

Detective Quiz


This is a detective story .. So Pay Close Attention!!!

Three elderly ladies are excited about seeing their first baseball game.

They smuggle a bottle of Jack Daniels into the ball park.

The game is real exciting and they are enjoying themselves immensely... mixing the Jack Daniel's with soft drinks.

Soon they realize that the bottle is almost gone and the game has a lot of innings to go.

Based on the given information, what inning is it and how many players are on base?


Think!


Think some more!!




You're gonna love it .

It's the bottom of the fifth and the bags are loaded!

The BoSox done good by getting rid of him. Nomah looked to be in big time pain.

Hey, speaking of the BoSox, guess who leads the AL East? Yep, the BoSox.

Guess who's 3 games behind and in 2nd to last? Yep, that's right:
