The home run derby, in my mind, will never be the same....they were hitting 40, 41 h/r's at a time during the All Star event...between corked bats and Roids. Has anyone hit 20 since? Fortunately, people forget. I guess the weaties box is worth something....you can say this is a cheater. In professional sports, we expect them to be superstars based on honest to goodness talent. By working hard and refining the skills. Not by corking the bats and taking the needle. Oh, and if your name is Barry-roid-Bonds, your highly paid personal trainer, outside of baseball, rubbs some special creme on your wrist. No questions, no worries. |

Another close one. Was hoping the Cardinals would go up 2-0 but Texas had other plans LOL. Enough with the pitching duels. Wanna see some slugging! |

I'm so happy that the Texas Rangers won tonight to even up the series! This is definitely going to be a good duel to the end!

as a child, i heard my momma say so many times lol ...
"what's worse than doing wrong? to know it's wrong and still do it." i don't think the gambling on baseball is any more wrong than steroids. both do your team mates and the game, everybody ... an injustice. i also collected so many roger clemens cards. i wanted to look back one day and say, "oh! what a rocket he was!" "say it ain't so!" |

STELLAR STELLAR STELLAR PITCHING.
Molina and Napoli were amazing strong back catchers. I wonder how Molina's thumb is doing? It looked wrapped up last night. Their hands must just HURT when they hit the ball when it is that cold. As a praire, been through lots of winters, girl... hands are sensitive to vibration when cold. Ouch.... Some of the defensive plays and catches were just poetry in motion. What a fabo fabo fabo game!!! Can't wait for Saturday!!

Yes, that was one of the best WS games ever played! I was thinking these teams and their big bats were going to take center stage, but, wow, the pitching has been something!! And oh yeah, defensive plays! Both teams are giving us quite a Series thus far!! Argh, yesterday's quakes out here brought back memories of the '89 WS between our Bay Area teams- the A's & Giants. The Loma Preita quake hit right at the start of a game in SF and the WS was delayed- and well, people died and were hurt. I thought, damn, please don't let the "big one" hit now!! I didn't want my TV knocked out. Well and also don't want people hurt. |

i remember the quake in 89, ... very big deal.
and to those that lost loved ones. you know, the rangers have the #1 ballpark for home runs. kyle lohse on the mound for the cardinals. right-hander. he has 16 homeruns, 2 in the postseason, ... hit off him. 2 starts, 2 losses in post season. matt harrison for the rangers. left-hander. 13 homeruns for the season, 0 in post season, ... hit off him. 2 starts, 1 win in post season. era, w-l, so, whip, ... their records are pretty much even for the year. we will see how it goes. go cardinals! |

I am soooo ready for a game with the DH involved. Maybe, just maybe there will be a wee lil slug fest. I have never seen Lohse pitch but have seen Harrison throw a few gems at the Red Sox this year. Yellowband, the Sox saga continues in the media. Same stories, same players, same quotes, different writers.....can't believe they keep printing the same stuff over and over. Then again, I couldnt believe all the press Patriots QB Tom Brady got last year for growing his hair long. |

First, some Good news. Micheal Mchenry has been retained! I'm so happy. The pirates will not pick up Catchers Ryan Doumit or Chris Snyders options, Or Paul Malholm (Pitcher). Those three are worth 19 million next year. Suddenly our low payroll got alot lower. Makes me wonder if Micheal is going to get a million. We have a catcher in the minors, Jason Jaramillo, who is ready to come up. The only reason he didn't get the call when Ryan broke his ankle (and the sox gave us Micheal) was JJ had a fractured jaw. So we are set at catcher. That frees up alot of cash. I say keep moving. I can't help but remember how many games we won with HUNGRY minor league players, while our veterans were out with injuries. The tale of two teams. The sports people seem to think the warmer climate in Texas will bring on the hitting. I'm ready! |

Something to be said for minor leaguers with something to prove and nothing to lose. They play because they enjoy playing. What more can you ask for? Any chance the Pirates want Lackey and Dice-K at rock bottom prices? Sox should have made the both of them go along with Epstein to the Cubs. |

Can't wait for the game today! Even if it is a gorgeous day here and I hate being inside when it is like this. Hummmm.... maybe tape it? I can listen to it while walking my dog later, too, but I like watching the WS games.
Yellowband- I think the Pirates are going to be very good next season, actually. They are coming back!! I'm not as hopeful concerning my Giants, actually. I feel like we may go through some re-building that will take a few seasons to get us back. But, we do have a young bullpen with guys that are proven. The offense is the problem.... |

As for Derrek Lee, the last I heard, the Pirates would like to retain him. But Derrek hasn't said if he wants to play another year. Now that the Catching situation has worked itself out, the two corners have to be decieded and then wait and see if they keep Ronny Cedeno at SS. (he's only at 2 million) for some reason people hate on him (left over Jack Wilson lovers maybe???) I don't know why. Gee we are not even out of the WS yet and my mind is in spring training!! Yes, the year of the Pirates. We actually had sunshine! So, yes I am in complete understanding of watching the WS when it is on..... Last edited by Dominique; 10-22-2011 at 01:57 PM.

Wow, Albert Pujols!
Love how the Rangers would pitch to him, but always walk Cabrera when they played the Tigers. Whatever. And I love how Pujols did not mock the pitcher when he hit a 100 mph fastball for a homer, like Nelson Cruz mocked Verlander when he hit a 100 mph pitch for a homer. Pujols is a class act. |
