The Hall of Fire

Well, the news is out. The last man to get a hit in the major leagues, did get his hit the other day. Who was this man? Antonio Perez, who played for the Dodgers last year, before being traded, along with clubhouse favourite Milton Bradley ( the man, not a boardgame ), to Oakland for Andre Ethier. B...

Eru - cool! I love going to ballgames, myself ... Faramond took me to three ( or was it four? I forget! ) when I was here last year. Lovely experience. You really should take Iavas - to me half the fun of going to sports event is getting out into the evening air, and being there with nothing to do ...

Eru - have you been to a game in the ballpark, or does it just look nice in general?

Faramond - well said, even if I have to say so myself

I heard the Rangers beat the Yankees. =:) Awww, I was hoping to get a rise out of Sass. :P I was hoping you'd get one! :D That's one of the things that make Sassy great - she does give the most wonderful Yankee-inspired rises :D Full kudos to the Yankees for that comeback - and I'm glad to see from...

and the BoSox won THEIR match 11-1

*bounces teh ttbk gently* Awwwww ... I have to agree with you ;) Tom , I'm afraid the Dodgers gave you Milton Bradley ( injured ) and Antonio Perez ( is his average STILL 0.00? I saw he was the DH today ) as well. We cleaned out some junk, it seems :D Oh, Sass , with a big payroll, how can the Yank...

Only three runs given up in his first inning, Sass ! :D The poor dodgy Dodgers with their idiot closer, yes. Though I do point out that at double the payroll, the Yankees are not twice as good ;) EDIT: Just checked out this Tanyon Sturtze fella, and he does seem a bit ... suspect :D I can't believe ...

Ouchie! :shock: :shock: :hug: Poor Sass ! Poor Yankees! :D Sass , the guy may be better for the Yankees than he was for the poor Dodgers ( 6.02 ERA, 12 HR in 66 IP, 1.57 WHIP ) but the last time this dude's WHIP for a season was below 1.4 was in 1999, [ it was above 2 for 2004! ) and the last time h...

*ahem*

You were saying, V?

Even so Eru , what Watcher says is very true! YOU have to go in there and be convincing about your abilities to manage this job ... first impressions! If you make the person interviewing you now feel that "Wow! There is something great about this person! I want her on this job!" then that ...

Sending them your way, Eru

Sass - the entire HoF membership can probably choose to hide behind Giambi if they feel the need to do so

It doesn't matter when Bonds hits his * or even against whom. Fans may love the script that it may be against *gasp* the Dodgers, but really? Two last-place teams?

Tom - the A's are by far my preferred team from N-Cal

ESPN runs that Bonds on Bonds show doesn't it so of course it will hype him up. The ESPN web site has some interesting articles often, but it is getting to be a bit of a price to pay to wade through the Bonds stuff to get to it! :D If Kent didn't bop that little slider for a home run ( almost typed ...

Of course, I secretly root for the Sox :shock: Wanna stay my friend? :twisted: Sass - thanks for making me laugh a real belly laugh! :D :D :D :D ( I dreamt last night that I won a lottery and set up a shelter for cats on this HUGE rambling farm I bought. They had their own big cat runs and everythi...

That was a super catch indeed ( and I only saw it in a teeny little window on my computer! ) *hums a little* LET'S GO DODGERS! :D ( we really NEED to, y'know, get going in the UP direction more :roll: :D ) Sass - I must say, Boston really DID skin you and hang you up to dry! :hug: Of course, I secre...

*instantly becomes a Tom groupie* I've read about Moneyball being mentioned here and there by sportswriters, but that you were actually a member of a baseball research society, that you have a bead on the statistics and things ... respect! :D You and Faramond should talk :D The Monster has a great ...

I'm too young into the whole baseball thing to give sensible answers to those questions

I do think the commissioner needs a tad of spine, though.

And I note, poor Sass, that those naughty Rays thumped your favouritest team

*stalks in on sizable Griffon paws* *swwwwlicckkk* That, Yov , is the sound of a Griffon's claws deploying. Tremble and cower, brief mortal, for I am ... *ahem. Heh heh* *uses one claw to carefully punch in sentence, but mortally wounds keyboard all the same* YOU ARE MY WIFE. ANGBASDIL. ANTHY. ELFS...

Sass - what is that I'm noticing propping up the bottom of the AL East?

No worries though, they'll rally round come October!
