BASEBALL!

macele · 09-23-2011, 04:09 AM

the giants have had like 40 million solo homeruns this year.
that tells alot. losing posey was a big blow.
sandoval and beltran, great bats. they need folks to get
on base.

wildcard:

tonights games/series ...

red sox - vs ny yankees lester/garcia
rays - (2 games back) vs bluejays price/morrow
angels - (3 games back) vs a's weaver/gonzalez

braves - vs nationals hudson/strasburg
cardinals - (2) vs cubs carpenter/dempster
giants - (4) vs diamondbacks cain/saunders

the rays and cardinals might just tie it all up this weekend.
or take it over. both of these teams are better than the red sox
and braves, in my opinion.

atlast, do you eat one sunflower seed at a time,
or a hand full in the mouth and a cup? lol

Macele, did the sunflower seeds replace the smokeless tobacco?

The Pirates do a anti *Chew* PSA (public service announcement) on the scoreboard during pregame warm ups. I know years ago, they banned smoking in the dug outs.

I always giggle when I see my beloved Jim Leyland hiding in a dug out getting in a few drags. I also no longer see the mail pouch wad in the cheek...They still spit constantly (maybe they're using bandits). Was/has smokeless tobacco been banned from on field?

i don't know how they chew/dip, ... makes me sick to smell of it lol.

ryan ludwick, josh hamilton, coach bruce bochy ... to name of a few. unless they've quit here recently.

you know tony gwynn says tobacco caused his cancer.

some players say it helps them focus ... a stimulant.

There has been a light and steady rain since around noon. I bet unless there is lightning, no games will be rain delayed. We have 3 homes games
with the reds and that wraps up the season at home.

Pitt and Notre Dame and the Pirates tomorrow. The stadiums are side by side. Steve MIller band is the grand finale.

YES- the Giants have left a kazillion on base and also don't get runners on! Makes me crazy!! I agree that the few guys we have that are power hitters usually knock in just themselves. ARGH!! I hope they work to get this fixed next year.

Posey and Freddie Sanchez, plus Sherholtz being out has really messed us up- even with getting Beltrans and Keppinger. Speaking of Keppinger- he has not done much for us at all, I think. Would not care if he isn't in a SF uni next year. I think both Crawford & Belt will become more consistent hitters and getting on base as they play- I see talent with them. But they both are just not there now. Although, Belt has done some good stuff. Players like Huff and Ross have been stranded so much. And I wish Sandoval would not be so into home run hitting- just get on or move a base runner!!

So frustrating- damn frustrating! I want them in the play offs, but what you are talking about is what would most likely take them out in the first round.

LOL- I eat them (sunflower seeds) one at a time. So weird, I don't eat them very often, but find I am doing so a lot right now! Hey, when the hell did Frito Lay become the official MLB seeds!!

I don't know if I am looking foreward to the start of our last games with AZ- it could be ugly.... and I honestly think our entire bullpen is tired.

WOW, have to say Kemp of the Dodgers smacked the hell out of us during our series. That guy is something. I kind of liked seeing old Tommy Lasorda in the dugout for his 84th BD last night. Crazy old codger!!
