GO YANKEES

Whoa- didn't know that was intentional! That was horrific and just wrong- that player was hurt badly.

Thanks- I didn't know these facts.

I need to know...
 

Nope- would not change my team for a partner- or anyone. JeepSakes! Ya' gotta stand by your team!

Your Cubbies will rise again!!! Keep the faith!

What!!!!
 

Forget me rooting for the Yankees. I hate them. GO MARINERS!!!!

Yes, what a break. I hope he recovers well, too- but it looks like this could impact his play forever. He seems like a smart kid, though. And all those guys have to think about life after baseball- but he is only in his second year.

He is really missed!

Saw the video of the collision that caused Buster Posey to break his leg. Looked awful -- and with a little too much intent. MLB really needs to establish a guideline with homeplate slides.

I agree. Posey refused to make negative comments about it but there has been quite a few comments about it being intentional. I hope not. Yup- might be a good idea for MLB to take a look at this in terms of guidelines. They came up with some concerning pitchers hitting batters after some obvious intentional throws.

Sometimes I think about the 5 pro players get (all sports) and I think yikes- but injuries can halt a career very early for some and this is how they make a living. Plus it isn't a career that one can do for 30-40 years like others.

The Pirates have been kicking the Phillies butt! Two out of three so far. (who said the Pirates suck???) An afternoon game today. Just what I need, more sun.(burn)

Singing TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME........(and bring the broom) or as we say here RAISE THE JOLLY RODGER

following the draft?
 

My answer would be No.

6 years from now, when they finally show up in the majors, if they haven't been traded like cattle, I won't know who they are, so I never bother.

The Pirates (pity them) want so baddly to be taken seriously as baseball owners and not newspaper heirs, have been spamming all of us with draft information.

OK, so we Drafted first (that also means we were the worst team in baseball last year) and we selected Gerrit Cole out of UCLA and he comes to us with 3 pitches!:hangloose:......FAKE BOOK (not a typing error) wanted them to pick a bat. Now everyone is bashing the owners (yawn) again.:byebye:

Whoa! What a game between the Giants and the Nationals. We game back after the 7th to tie it at 4 to 4. Finally, in the 13th, the Giants came through!!

Timmy didn't pitch that well overall, but, hit his 1000th strike-out during his first 5 years!! F***K Yeah!!! But, I am very impressed with Vogelsong. He not only pitches- he hits well and is pretty fast!

Saw my first giants game in CA in 1958 when I was 7 years old- been a long haul to see them doing so well and taking the WS for 2010. Hum Baby!!

They had the #29 draft pick... a short stop, guy named Panik.

Glad you love baseball Atlast!

MLB draft
 

How are the Red Sox doing? I like them in the American league. I only get a few of their games on the level of TV channels I get. Yeah...I signed-up for the package that the Giant games are in... well, my older sister gave me this package as a gift. But it isn't the mega- game MLB super-duper package that covers all of the MLB. She knows i have days that I am not very mobile and love baseball and the Giants! A very loving gift from her, actually.

Thanks for posting that warm and fuzzy link Kobi. I didn't know the draft went that deep. I especially like the part about a coach's daughter, who was an outstanding softball player getting a draft selection too. How come you never hear about these things?

It restores my faith in mankind.

The New York Met's are coming to town for a four game series. This is big. My Bucco's are hot at the dish too. Hard to believe we are at .500......:goodluck: I'm loving every second of it.

Heck yeah! I have a very dear friend who's husband loves baseball as much as I do. He tapes games for me, (any game will do, I'm not picky) and I watch them when I need some down time. I also watch them through the winter. Yes, I miss baseball that baddly, that I will watch old games. (as long as I haven't watched the game, its not old to me)

if you start winning, they will come
 

Pittsburgh Vs. The new York Mets. The bucco's won fair and square last night 3 to 2. It was completely sold out. Even standing room only was sold out. The largest crowd in ten years! YES!!!

We have lost both of our catchers to injury, and have an untested minor leaguer playing every day. Our minor leaguer who was ready for call up, also was buried at the plate and out on injury. So, the team has to over come this hurdle. Two more home games with the Mets as the Pirates continue to play 500 ball. (sorry, but we haven't had that in 18 years)
I see lots of people wearing Pirate gear, last season they dogged you if you wore any garb! Let's go Buc's.

And Joel Hannaran....(our closer, he's got some HEAT.) We are hoping a couple of pitchers get selected to the all star game (unlike years past, a player was picked by default). Charlie Morton has been something! The Mets fans travel well.

Injuries are really messing up the Giants. Yesterday, the Reds smacked them all over the field. Timmy had yet another lousy day on the mound and freddie sanchez got hurt on a play.

The Panda will be back Tuesday against the D-backs, thankfully. But some key players are not going to be back- and Posey is out for the season.

Giants hitting is awful lately.

Yes! This kid the pirates have catching, Brown, was from double A (again because our triple A guy was also injured) While Brown was not perfect, I thought he handeled himself pretty well.

I'm currently giving Lyle Overbay (or Overpaid as I heckle him) a get out of jail-free card, as our catching situation is critical. Overpaid has almost as many strikeouts as hits, is batting .233, has something like 7 errors and is making 5 million dollars. (the highest on our payroll). One of the sports radio shows had a caller call in and ask why Steve Pearce wasn't being given an opportunity to take that job and the sports writer said Overbay is good in the locker room. I don't even want to know what that means.:confused:

Wondering...
 

I'm a half a season ticket holder. I have all three BOSOX games......can not wait. I've never seen them! Another great weekend of baseball in the burgh.

The Pirates travel to Cleveland next week end, I may go. The Indians are my second favorite team. Cleveland needs some sports team to bring them happiness (however, they ARE laughing big time at Labron!) Cleveland, small market team, much like Pittsburgh, doesn't have a huge payroll, or really any superstars...but they keep winning. That team has done an about face in two years! I love teams that do not buy championships.

That shortstop for the mets today was a tremendous athlete!

LOL... this brought memories back about my late partner. Hey, I just enjoyed that she would go to a few games with me! Now, I did figure a way to get her to take in some of the game with bringing my pearl handled opera "nocs" with us!! She still wanted to fight to use them even at a baseball game!!! I still bring them along to games.

Ugh... in withdrawals- no Giants game yesterday or today. And the sports pacage I have only vovers the Giants and the A's. Hummm.. but I should check to see if I get some games when they might play some of the teams you all are into. Not an A's fan. I like the Red Sox in the American League. it would really be kewl to be able to watch the fav teams that you are are watching.

Someday I'm going to get the whole MLB package, dammit!!!
