Watched Tim Lincicum pitch a shut-out today against the A's. It is my sister's 74th BD and her Grandson's 32nd. We all got together at AT&T Park and had a great time. Beautiful day and it was good to be with some family. My brother-in-law was not a jerk- so all went well.

GO GIANTS!!

Oh, NO!! Posey may be out for the season!

How are fav teams doing for everyone else? LOL, Marlin fans are probably happy today.

Miss July · 05-27-2011, 09:55 AM

Gooooooooooooooo Red Sox!

chefhottie25 · 06-23-2011, 10:46 PM

the cubs managed to win 1 game in their 3 game series with crosstown rivals the white sox. playing the royals tomorrow night.

chefhottie25 · 06-25-2011, 09:06 PM

my cubs lost to the royals today 2-3. it was tied at 2 until the bottom of the 8th inning. disappointing. taking on the royals again tomorrow.

Justin Verlander of my beloved Detroit Tigers had 14 strikeouts tonight - a career high. Best pitcher in the AL, in my opinion.

WHOA!...I love the battery of a game. A no no, or a one nothing game is better than a banna split.

Dominique · 06-25-2011, 09:28 PM

Maybe people will take us serious now. Pirates win the series tonight over the Bo-S0X....looking for a sweep tomorrow. Thought I might say Boston has a payroll 161 million vs 41 million in Pgh. enough said. Great game. I'm so wound up....I hope alarm kat lets me sleep a little tomorrow.

LOL. I can understand your excitement at the prospects of sweeping an interleague series. It would the first in a decade the news says. If the BoSox are swept in interleague play, it will be the first time since 2002.

My guys have lost 4 straight. They have dropped to second place in the division. And after this we head to Phillie? Oy.

Time for the rally caps or something.

Oh, yes that is a good stat! Don't you love it when a great pitcher has an outstanding game with all of their "stuff" working for them!

The giants took the Indians again today, 1-0- and it was an exciting game with the Beard closing in on his 26th save of the season. It sure is a hell of a good thing SF has the bullpen it does as our hitting sucks! Without Andres Torres being on this past week (both defensively & offensively), we would not have taken 5 in a row.

chefhottie25 · 06-27-2011, 08:21 PM

my cubs beat the rockies today...7-3. taking on the giants tomorrow.

i am sad to report that my cubs have dropped 2 games to the white sox. they play again tomorrow.

JAGG · 09-23-2011, 09:12 PM

Watched the Yankees win their division. I would love to see the Phillies and the Yankees in the world series!!!

JAGG · 10-28-2011, 02:21 PM

Wow what an awesome game last night! If I was a Ranger fan I'd be ticked off. But I like them both and don't really care who wins since my Phillies are not in it. I stayed up way too late last night, but it was worth it! I think St. Louis has shifted fate in their direction. We shall see tonight. I will say both teams have superior managers!

Hack · 01-24-2012, 03:02 PM

Prince Fielder to the Tigers for $214 million for 9 years?!

Take Me Out to the Ballpark: Top Ten Baseball Stadiums

Be a part of America's favorite summer pastime and catch a game at one of the country's ten best baseball stadiums, or just check out the sights in these great American cities.

There are some baseball parks so legendary and so historic that even if you don't know the difference between a run and a hit, you'll know these stadiums by name: Wrigley, Fenway, Yankee Stadium. From Pittsburgh to San Diego, the United States is dotted with baseball treasures. Some are home to historic teams; some to younger clubs. In some parks, scores of championship banners hang from the rafters; others are quite bare. But for those looking to catch a game and also to enjoy a cool new city, there is no shortage of options. With the help of baseball connoisseur and creator of baseballparks.com Joe Mock (who's been to 256 different major and minor league ballparks), we give you ten of the country's best baseball stadiums, set in some of the nation's coolest cities. Regardless of your team affiliation, even if you're a die-hard fan, you'll want to attend a game on the road at one of these standout parks.
10. Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore
The city of Baltimore has one of the best locations in the nation: just north of Washington D.C. and just south of New York City. Although this often means that it's the Mid-Atlantic's forgotten city, Charm City's got lots of character, with quaint neighborhoods and cobblestone streets, rocking bars with live music, and (being a coastal town) some of the biggest and best crabs in the country. And, Baltimore can certainly claim one of the nicest parks in the nation. Mock describes Oriole Park at Camden Yards as a throwback park, even though it was completed in 1992. Mock says the architects looked to classic Ebbets Field, rather than the Skydome for inspiration. More importantly, it changed the ballpark business model. Instead of just selling baseball, the owners decided to sell wine, Baltimore's famous jumbo lump crab cakes, barbeque, and funny knickknacks. There's also plenty to do outside the park: Just minutes away, the inner harbor area has cool places to eat as well as the Maryland Science Center, the Baltimore Aquarium, and Baltimore Maritime Museum. The ballpark is just minutes away. For those seeking a two-fer, hop on the MARC train, Maryland's public transit trains, and head about 40 miles south to Washington D.C. for a Nationals game. The newly constructed Nationals Park offers one of the best views in all of Major League Baseball and the exterior is designed to fit in with all the monuments and federal buildings that characterize the nation's capital.
Baltimore Travel Guide
9. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
Although some Brooklynites are still smarting from the loss of the Dodgers to Los Angeles in 1958, the team is now part of the fabric of Southern California. Appropriately, it is housed by the Taj Majal of baseball. Dodger Stadium overlooks downtown Los Angeles and is actually built into a mountain side. Mock says the seating bowl offers a great view of the Hollywood hills. Dodger Stadium is not centrally located, but getting to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Catalina Island, and all the other glamorous places associated with L.A. is not hard to do—just hop on the (in)famous freeway or the Metro. Of course, if you want to see another park while you're in town, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are just about an hour away. Visit Mickey and Minnie in Disneyland while you're at it.
Los Angeles Travel Guide
8. Safeco Field, Seattle
Safeco Field is the best example of a retractable roof in all of major league baseball. The reason? Even when the roof is fully closed, the stadium isn't enclosed. There's an area above the left field seats that stays open all the time so it doesn't feel claustrophobic and still has the feel of a traditional, open-air baseball stadium. Plus, the open area provides for an excellent view, including Mount Rainier, Seattle's business district, and Puget Sound, depending on where you are sitting. Of course, no visit to Seattle is complete without a visit to the Space Needle, where you can look out over the city from 520 feet in the air. Don't miss Pike Place Market, home of the original Starbucks coffee shop, and get farm-fresh veggies, fruits, and flowers while being entertained by street performers. And take an underwater stroll in the Seattle Aquarium's glass dome, and watch sharks and other aquatic life swim by you.
