BASEBALL!

It is so cool to see some of the teams doing so well so early in the season.

I mean who would have thunk the White Sox would be first in their division? Or, the Nationals, who just swept three from the Red Sox. Or, the Reds and Pirates tied for first. Or, the Dodgers. Really the Dodgers?

Nice to see the Giants pulling it together too. The Pirates are still amazing me despite their lack of hitting.

My Red Sox are in the sub basement again. Cant help but think these guys are not working well with the new manager. Injuries are hurting as well. The line up juggling isnt helping any either.

Yup! But, damn the Red Sox need to get it going!

It would be great to see a team like the Pirates stay on top and get into the play-offs. And of course, the Giants!

The Anels beat the dodgers yesterday... yes! hey, I'm a Giants fan and we are a few games out! But, LA under Magic is getting it together!

Tonight the FIRST & ONLY perfect game in the SF Giant's 130 year history was pitched by Matt Cain!

The fans still don't want to leave the ball park.

My latest Yankees photographic purchase.

This photo, taken and printed on October 8 1956, shows Don Larsen pitching during his "Perfect Game" in Game 5 of the World Series versus the Brooklyn Dodgers:

A beautiful and evocative image from one of the most famous occasions of Yankee history.

It was really electric! Cain has been having a great season and I hope this demonstrates just how underrated he has been in terms of the entire MLB. Sometimes, I get so mad at the East Coast & American League bias. Fergoddesssakes, both the Giants & Dodgers were former East Coast teams and have rich history as ball clubs.

Cain was stunned himself that over 130 years of Giant's history and some of the best pitchers in the game, his was the first perfect game in the franchise history. Some did pitch pefect games, but not while pitching as a SF Giant.

Gaylord Perry, Juan Marichal, Christy Mathewson, Amos Rusie... and there are more. In fact, the giants (both in NY & SF) have the most Hall of Fame players!

Let's go Orioles over the Yankees. Yeahhhh Boiiiissss!

macele · 10-13-2012, 10:36 AM

yeah those yankees won. puh! and they will not get these tigers by the tail!

i didn't get to watch the nationals/cardinals. i like both of those teams. so i'm going with the cardinals/tigers ... tigers to win it!

Kobi · 10-13-2012, 10:58 AM

So, it is the Cards vs the Giants, and the Yanks vs the Tigers.

Hm, have no faves here. Might have to go with the Tigers only cuz they havent won in ages.

ruffryder · 10-13-2012, 11:04 AM

guess I'm out of the loop. Thought the Orioles were still in it and hoping they would kick the Yankees out.

I'll go for the Cardinals or Giants for the win!

The good thing is that baseball doesn't work in that egalitarian way .... if it did, the Red Sox wouldn't have had to wait 86 years to win the series

Yankees will win it this year.

Kobi · 10-13-2012, 09:45 PM

Just checked on the Tigers-Yanks game. Bottom of the 9th, 2 out, Tigers up 4-0.

Tiger closer gives up not one but two 2 run home runs. Score now tied.

Think I will head to bed and check on this in the am. LOL.
