Hey, I didn't even mention the Tugger striking out Willie Wilson.

Willie will always be my favorite Royal.

That was low, Geo. You must like the cocaine-powered baseball players if you like Willie.
Here's the retribution for your Tug comment: One word...Cardinals!

It's not what you think
I like Willie because he struck out and the Phils won the series.

Cardinals? That's Phillies West to you!

I can't believe it! Geo, you are da man!!!

For those who may have missed it, Geo and I bet on the Giants/Phils series a couple weeks back, and I won. The loser was to send the other a piece of gear. So you figure, you know, candle lantern, peppercorn grinder, flashlight, right?

Well this dude sent me a freakin' tent!! Can you believe it?! I've been wanting the REI Terraquest, their new ultralight solo tent, AND HE SENT IT TO ME!! Brand-freakin' new!!!! If it weren't for the freakin' exclamation point key on my keyboard, I'd be speechless!!

!!!!!!!

Wow!!

Thanks, dude! You are awesome!

Remember what Bart Giamatti said; it's designed to break your heart. I paraphrase, but the idea's there.

So not looking for DC getting a team. Considering we are the 8th largest metro region with the 3rd worst traffic, I see no benefit.

Accept there will be more minimum wage jobs to keep people in poverty and DC will subsidize a team, yes?

Might be time to get out of Dodge soon.

Those Giants sure are trying to make it exciting, before they sweep into the playoffs.
Did you see that Bonds walked FIVE TIMES in one game? What is up with these wussy teams who won't pitch to Barry???? There should be a new rule in baseball, called the "Barry" rule, IMHO.
I really don't think they pitched around Ruth or Aaron like they do with Bonds. It's a shame.

The news I'm reading today lists the DC area as the likely venue.

The poor folks in Montreal are getting rooked. The team consistently sold off the stars and was in a constant rebuilding phase. Only their great minor league system kept feeding high-quality players to the big club, and they were traded away whenever free agency came close.

No team continuity there. A good portion of the majors are stocked with Montreal talent, while the Montreal fans are losing their team.

But then, DC went through this problem twice. Both the Twins and the Rangers are ex-Washington Senators. I hope they don't pick the same name again.

If they keep the same management style, they could call themselves the Deficits.

Dun, it really is amazing. Statistically, we already know that this situation (Bonds getting walked all the time) has never happened before. But the amazing thing is seeing really really good pitchers walking him intentionally when it really isn't an intentional walk situation. In one of the Dodger games over the weekend, Gagne was pitching with two outs in the 9th and a 1-run lead, and walked a guy to bring up Bonds. Before Bonds came along, you would NEVER walk the potential winning run onto a base and put the potential tying run in scoring position. Not only that, some would argue that Gagne has some of the best stuff in HISTORY! But there he was walking Bonds intentionally. D'ya Gagne's husband plays baseball too?

Ugh.

A's: Done

Giants: Almost Done.

You have to have pitching and defense to win. A's had it; lost it. Giants never had it.

The Giants' only hope is that the Rockies beat Houston today, which is unlikely, with Clemens going for the 'stros.

Woops! Just looks at the in-progress box score - looks like the 'stros are saving Clemens for the possible 1-game playoff in SF. Probably a good idea....

With the A's and Giants out, I think the Sox will be my favorite team in the playoffs. Go Sox!

I think the Tigers deserve a round of applause for winning almost 30 more games than they won last year. Although they lost their final game of the season earlier today, they won 72 games this year.

Well, the 'stros just won their game, so the Giants are officially eliminated. Of course, Schmidt has a no-hitter going against LA right now, so that's kind of interesting....

Goodbye John Frannco, you were a great pitcher :)
