2009 baseball season...

[blazejowski]

Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers, Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Bert Campaneris, Reggie, Jimmy "Catfish" Hunter, John "Blue Moon" Odom,
Kenny Holtzman and so many more...

Best baseball name ever.
Best moustache. EVER.

Hunsperger: very good long-term memory, not so good short-term

How could you forget the Loma Prieta Series? And, just missed in 1988 and 1990.

didn't forget, just didn't mention...

the '88, and '90 teams were post season underachievers...

should have won at least one more title...

nice to see Johnson win 300...

may be the last...

liked what LaRussa had to say about him...

"he's lost some, but even today at his age, he has an arm alot of young players aspire to...

but when he was younger, it really wasn't fair"...

Fully agree that Randy Johnson might be the last 300 game winner, at least for a long time.

Heck, the next closest is Jamie Moyer at around 250 and he is near eligible to collect Social Security. LOL.

Please do me the honor of not dragging my name into your anti-Canuck spiel.

Your outlook on the Canucks is so different from mine and I have enjoyed all 69 Canuck games

Glad that you've enjoyed the overpriced, un-entertaining games. The only reason why they even sell out are the corporate bigwigs, and the occassional bandwagon fans, if they can muster enough $$$ to put $$$ where their mouth is

I'm not anti-Canuck. Just tough, hard love, and making sure those super duper easy-to-please ppl like Trackie here don't get carried away w/ the false illusions of success this team has experienced, by their standards. of course, in comparison w/ other professional teams, the Nucks are poorly managed, have no track record of winning or doing anything remotely succesful on a consistent basis, and will forever be known for their disgusting scouting.

Suppose it's easy to criticize someone like me who truly cares about hockey and the Nucks, not like the easy BWs here.

 

[SFMIKE]

So much time thinking and talking about BJ's has really clouded your thinking.

Last I checked this is a baseball thread.

Try to stay on focus, and stay on topic.

LOL....now that's a home run!!!!!!!

Did he cum first? or Was it a pull out?

 

[hunsperger]

...

what a coincidence...

the same night that the Penguins/Red Wings play game seven of the Stanley Cup final...

the Pirates/Tigers start a three game set in MLB...

 

[hunsperger]

...

Tony LaRussa just won his 2500th game as a manager...

which puts him third on the all-time list...

quite an achievement...

he has a connection to Vancouver, in that he played for 1968 Vancouver Mounties...

congrats to Tony ...

sitting here, watching the Screw Jays and Yankees game...

the Screw Jays are winning...

do you know what that means...

according to the asswipe doing the commentary they are the best team in the game because they are the first team to win 23 games...

doesn't matter that there is another 128 games...

it appears that it is their god ( should I have capitalized god) given right to win the World Series...

however, I'm sure if Vancouver had a baseball team they would be in the running too...

just a distant memory...

appears our World Series contenders are about to clean house...

so much for winning the World Series after the first 34 games...

kind of like Canuck fans predicting Stanley Cup after they win 2 games in a row in October...

 

[hunsperger]

...

just over two weeks left in the season...

October is just around the corner...

all you baseball fans out there know what that means...

World Series 2009...

starts October 28, mark your calendars...

Hubba, do you remember Mr. October...
