I would just be happy if the pitchers would give up less homers.

You ladies need a "kitchen" thread . . . :D
HEY..... AHEM...... Remember, I can match your 8AM Patron shot..... BASEBALL, dude..... :wink: :P
Very few people can match me at 8AM. You are in an elite club and deserve the highest praise possible. Get that sexy as$ out of the kitchen and join me for some baseball talk . . . can't think of much else I would rather be doing.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

I would be up for either. Last I checked, not much available right now except SRO as far as seeing the game at Fenway.
In the past Yankee and Red Sox fans made Oriole Park at Camden Yards there "home away from home".........it's not that far away and it's tough getting tickets in NY and Boston. Kind of depressing for an O's fan, but choice seats may be a bit harder to come by in 2011 if the Birds become competitive in the AL East again.

Since Buck Showalter took over a manager late in 2010, the O's have the best record in the AL East! And I always said that the manager alone couldn't make a huge difference.......I was wrong.
On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"

I do love Camden Yards! Had a blast at the game. Went back to the hotel, only to have an officer chasing someone into the woman's bathroom. I am guessing we weren't staying in the best part of town.

2011 juiced balls? Did you get one of those Colorado humidors and maybe didn't read the instructions? The damp heavy balls are for when the VISITING team is batting [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

Every team Showalter has managed got better but he's such an anal retentive control freak that his act wears thin real fast and he doesn't last long. If you remember when the Yankees fired him and hired the sainted Joe Torre, a manager who had never won anything, Torre started winning World Series. But it was with the team Showalter and Gene Michael put together.

As depressing as it may be for an O's fans the local buisness love it when NY and Bos come to town.

After 13 straight losing seasons in Baltimore, I can live with Buck's shortcomings for a while........ :roll: :wink:

Juiced baseballs are a tightly wound myth

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=j ... yth_040611

It doesn’t deter the paranoia. Last fall, in the middle of a pennant race, San Francisco Giants starter Tim Lincecum(notes) caught a ball from an umpire and started to fiddle with it. He spun it in his right hand a few times before tossing it back to the ump. A TV camera caught him mouthing a reaction with a perplexed look on his face: “Truckin’ juiced ball bullspit.” Or something like that.

Lincecum beat the Rockies that night, prompting shortstop Troy Tulowitzki(notes) to tell him: “Good game. We couldn’t even get you with our juiced balls.” 8)

That's okay, I don't think anyone ever came back after being down 3-0 to the Yankees in the ALCS before 2004. Lotta baseball left! :D



Now, Sox, will you please WAKE UP AND PLAY BALL!! :o :o
