QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
I hate them because, as you may remember, for a long time they were in the NL West and kept beating my teams (Giants and Padres), winning a division title, then blowing it in the playoffs.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Hello.
American Football, baseball, it is all the same to me.
Football to me is what the American population calls Soccer.
Basket Ball? somebody took a peach basket and a Football (Soccer) ball and created a rainy day game for thugs.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I AM THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS!
Well, it's set -- the Yanks play the Twins in the first round. Even tho' I hate Twins -- they've pretty much been the dominant team in that division over the years -- I also fear and respect them. Let's hope the Yanks' pitchers have the right stuff.
And, yea, the World Series is supposed to be played in the afternoon of golden September days!! Sigh...I HATE the BS of worrying about snow for the WS. But even when there's no snow, watching the WS when you can see the players breath (yuck!) and fans huddled in winter jackets? And, in Minneapolis with that new outside field? Brrrrrrrr....not baseball!Couldn't the at least play day games on the weekend? Sob!!!!!
But...money talks, and if it says to trash a grand tradition, well, there are plenty who will listen.

Well, if anything, the Padres 2010 season has put to rest once and for all the old baseball truism that "Good pitching beats good hitting." Not in the long term, it doesn't. If you don't score any runs, you ain't gonna win.

I have never seen the Reds no hit before. That was amazing! 1 ball away from a perfect game. I root for the Reds now, but it is still awesome to see a a no hit game. I was in the park the night Tom Browing threw a perfect game for the reds. It was cold, and raining. They kept stopping for a raiin delay. I went home. Went to bed pissed off. I woke up to discover I missed out on perfect game history.

No hitters are nerve-racking, but fun to watch.
We were in the stands the night the Pirates had a 10 inning 2 pitcher no-hitter against the Astros. What I remember most about it is not realizing what was going on until about the 4th inning; I was running around getting stuff for everyone...
12 July 1997. 3 Rivers Stadium was a sell-out. The NAACP convention was in town, so most of the delegates came to the game. Only they bought their tickets right at the game, so there weren't enough concession stands open, which meant long lines and long waits. Meanwhile, we'd invited the whole family to see the game with us, so it fell on me to run around and play host. FINALLY got to sit down, look at the scoreboard, and said a big silent OH SHNIT to myself.
I still have the ticket stubs from that game, and the newspaper articles from the next morning. One of these days, when we get the basement finished, I'm going to get those framed and hung up.
The irony is that Little Miss Field Day was there for the whole game... and had no clue as to what was going on, which is funny considering what a baseball fan she is. Of course, she was a touch over a year old at the time, spent the whole game in either her mother's or her grandmother's arms. Slept a lot.
And to see Mark Smith (in the highlight of his career) break up the Astro's shutout with a 3 run pinch hit home run in the bottom of the 10th... One of these days, I'm going to have to find someone with a tape or DVD of the game and get a copy (it was broadcast on FSN Pittsburgh, but it's been a long time since they've replayed it)
I'm no fan of the Phillies, but when something like this happens, all you can do is tip your hat to the pitcher. Even if it is Roy Halladay...

Well, about now I can FINALLY get excited about the Yanks. They've proved their mettle agains the Twins, a very strong team. But it appears, for now, that the Yanks are finally back to their rightful post-season form. Andy pitched a great game & the bats were alive.
OTOH...they are also capable of legendary collapses....like against the Red Sux a few years ago. Still...it's good to be proud to be a Yankee fan again!
