BASEBALL!

My answer would be No.

6 years from now, when they finally show up in the majors, if they haven't been traded like cattle, I won't know who they are, so I never bother.

The Pirates (pity them) want so baddly to be taken seriously as baseball owners and not newspaper heirs, have been spamming all of us with draft information.

OK, so we Drafted first (that also means we were the worst team in baseball last year) and we selected Gerrit Cole out of UCLA and he comes to us with 3 pitches!......FAKE BOOK (not a typing error) wanted them to pick a bat. Now everyone is bashing the owners (yawn) again.

Whoa! What a game between the Giants and the Nationals. We game back after the 7th to tie it at 4 to 4. Finally, in the 13th, the Giants came through!!

Timmy didn't pitch that well overall, but, hit his 1000th strike-out during his first 5 years!! F***K Yeah!!! But, I am very impressed with Vogelsong. He not only pitches- he hits well and is pretty fast!

Saw my first giants game in CA in 1958 when I was 7 years old- been a long haul to see them doing so well and taking the WS for 2010. Hum Baby!!

They had the #29 draft pick... a short stop, guy named Panik.

Hum Baby!!My Dad used to take me to Sunday afternoon baseball games when I two and wearing diapers. My mother wouldn't let him go unless he took me. It became a ritual, Me and the old man and those Sunday double headers. Baseball was such a way of life for me, all of my life. I love the Pirates, win or loose. (we haven't done alot of winning in 18 years) but I support them BIG TIME. I still listen to games on the radio too, him and I did alot of that.

Glad you love baseball Atlast!

Some nice stories out of the draft including 2 teams who picked players who sustained spinal cord injuries - one playing the game and the other in a recreational accident. They may never play pro ball or walk again but the pro teams honored the potential they saw in these 2 young men by selecting them.

Nice job Rangers and Astros.

GO RED SOX

[AtLast]

How are the Red Sox doing? I like them in the American league. I only get a few of their games on the level of TV channels I get. Yeah...I signed-up for the package that the Giant games are in... well, my older sister gave me this package as a gift. But it isn't the mega- game MLB super-duper package that covers all of the MLB. She knows i have days that I am not very mobile and love baseball and the Giants! A very loving gift from her, actually.

Heck yeah! I have a very dear friend who's husband loves baseball as much as I do. He tapes games for me, (any game will do, I'm not picky) and I watch them when I need some down time. I also watch them through the winter. Yes, I miss baseball that baddly, that I will watch old games. (as long as I haven't watched the game, its not old to me)

Thanks for posting that warm and fuzzy link Kobi. I didn't know the draft went that deep. I especially like the part about a coach's daughter, who was an outstanding softball player getting a draft selection too. How come you never hear about these things?

It restores my faith in mankind.

The New York Met's are coming to town for a four game series. This is big. My Bucco's are hot at the dish too. Hard to believe we are at .500...... I'm loving every second of it.

The Red Sox are doing well at the moment. With last night victory,
they took over first place in the division. Tough division tho with
lots of very talented teams.
