Don't know who I'd rather face Dodgers or Rockies.

Ask me after the weekend after we play the Rockies. At the moment I'd say we have a better chance against the Dodgers.

3 against the Astros. They are always hard in houston.

Magic number still 4.

BIG BIRD...you own US....but we own the Rockies.....

go figure.....

This is going to be a long road trip we were just in Baltimore, now K.C. then Yankees..
Then home sweet Fenway for the last 7 games of the regular season...
Where are you guys finishing ?

Clydegirl... I just noticed you are 180's bound... nice going, must be all of those farm fresh veggies... :yay:

Lovin J-Bay... #36 HR... 3 runs !!!

That's a win. 7-3. Lots of runs being scored tonight all around baseball. Mark DeRosa two home runs tonight.

Magic number 3.

Caroline I'm hoping this week 180's. I was at the gym again today. Sorry off topic.

Our last series is at home against the Brewers and we have tickets for the final game. Decided to get them because dear knows if we will get them for the post season.

Oops meant to say, Caroline your numbers are looking good.

Diane will it be snowing when we play you this weekend?

Got my e-mail this morning. I was not selected in the lottery for post season tickets:(

I checked on Stubhub to see how much they were on there. Yikes people are asking huge ammounts of money for tickets. We don't even know who we're playing and where yet. We still have 3 games to win.

I think the last game we attend will be the Milwaukee game.

Sorry you didn't get a lottery number Big Bird. I never have but my dad did get some for the All-Star game in San Diego many years ago...2 tickets...he took my youth bowling instructor/his scorekeeper for his men's leagues...she was a huge baseball/Padre fan. I did benefit from lottery tickets my ex-wife's uncle got for the Cubs-Padres play-offs in '84....I had to sit way-way up...but still in the game!

Off to play the Nationals today...

Sorry about the lottery Clydegirl... some advice if you happen to be hanging around the house... Turn on any/every local radio station you can and get your redial finger going... I've called in for sox tix and scored twice (in 10 yrs).. but its worth it... especially like 11am-3pm, not drive time.. its worth a try... I used to do it at work ...

We lost a last night... ratz ! but Yanks lost too...

Enjoy your games everyone :corn:

14 runs for us....we win!!!...

Another win. Magic number 2.

11 runs tonight.

Caroline thing is I would need 3 tickets.

Little bit of a scare there with Pujols... Boston stations covered it... I'm glad he's okay...

What?

I didn't see alll the game, what happened?

We lost but so did the Cubs. Magic number 1.

the Boston Press said that Pujols hurt his wrist but he's ok... We don't miss a trick up here... LOL... apparently very very minor if you didn't hear about it...

We are winning in the 9th... {crossing fingers} we need this... one more tomorrow with KC then on to NYY...
get the bats going now boyz... :club:

Is that crazed murderer on the loose anywhere near you ? :yikes: Just looking out for you Clydegirl...

Caroline no he's up in central Illinois area.

You really are looking out for me, aren't you.

The wrist thing was last night. They downplayed it.

Hi all. I've been at a class for the last couple of days, and away from the computer.
Clyde, just to answer your question, I think that it is supposed to warm up a little before the weekend. Hope so, anyway!

Hi Diane, nice to see you...

MEMO: I had to go all the way to page 2 to find this thread... let's not let that happen again... LOL :D :D

One more with KC tonight... that stadium was pretty empty this week... that's tough to watch...
Enjoy your games tonight...:corn:
Is everyone playing tonight ? We are playing everyday till the end of regular season... All at home...:cheer:
Is there any way all five of us will get in PO's ? (Sorry RAZZ...)

Man did we have a good chance to win last night until our pitcher gave up his only hit...a 3 run homer! Bullpen couldn't hold the tie and we couldn't score with the bases loaded and 0 outs....even with Manny batting....

Still liking our chances...to beat out D and her Rockies.....

I agree SWEET-C....

all of us will make the play-offs...RAZZ can co-team with us!

We have the night off.

Then it's onto Colorado 3 games.

Should be fun watching Holliday play there.

One game that's what we need.

All at home Caroline I like your chances.

Diane we need one for the division. The champagne is chilling.

Let's do it tonight.

We need one to be in the play-offs....

those NATIONALS are tough...lucky to get out of there with 2 wins...

off to Pittsburg....

those pesky Padres helped my cause last night...sorry D....at least those giants lost again.

Ya, I don't know about my Rockies. They aren't sparkling quite as brightly as they were before. I'm afraid of the Cardinals coming to town!!!!

Gary, I think your guys are safely in as division champ!

:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

I've been in a virtual waiting room for Post-Season tickets for 45 minutes.

I got tickets for game 3 of the NLDS. Date and time to be determined.

WOW how cool Clydegirl... I'm so happy for you... LOL... those waiting rooms are kinda a cool way of doing it ... and game #3, you are guaranteed a game... WTG !!!!!!!!!!!!

We are at NYY... So I'm a nervous Nellie tonight... we got swept the last series in here, it was painful and it kinda killed our chances of taking the East... oh well... we are still here ~~~

Joba 'the hut' Chamberlain is starting tonight for NY... I just don't like him... usually I can conjour up something positive about a Yankee player, but not him... he's a punk !... ot oh... Yanks out to fast start, hit and steal on 2 pitches... gotta go...................

Go Luck You Guys... I know its a big weekend for everyone :corn:

NATION good luck against those yankees

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE BIG BIRD....SCORE!!!!!!

down by a run to the Pirates...

off to dinner...

hope to come home and see a "happy score"....

OK So far, the offense has not shown up in NY yet... {Caroline is biting nails down to the quick}... doesn't matter though... we'll go in as the wild card WINNERs and play the first round like we OWN it... so there !!!

BILL.... hello... :coach: 3FC to BILL... 3FC to BILL... calling all RSN...
report for cheering duty :cheer2: :cheer2: please..............

Well....well....too bad we played the super Pirates tonight...

EDIT...Well you were no help BIG BIRD....congrats D....keep fighting!!!

:( We lost 2-1.

Good game Diane. Good pitching from both sides.

Champagne on ice until tomorrow. Mind you if the Cubs lose we clinch. They're at the Giants.

Congrats Diane...
The rest of us lost... :kickcan:

Red Sox lose the first one to the Yankees
 

Ouch for last night's game. Yep, I clearly failed in the cheering department; I'll work harder tonight.

Thank you Bill... I'll cut you a little slack though, being a Network game an all'. So far they haven't shut up... I'll be turning to Castiglione soon.
Geez... it's like a battlefield out there today, everyone fouling balls off themselves... OUCH...
C'mon Dice K... throw a strike, you remember, its the one you throw down the middle of the plate !
Gosh that new stadium is beautiful ~~~

One is the loneliest number.

:cp: :dance: :carrot:

That's a win. National League Division champs.

What a good game. Adam Wainwright outstanding.

:yay: :yay: :celebrate: CONGRATS CLYDEGIRL :yay: :yay: :celebrate:


:yay: :yay: :celebrate: CONGRATS GARY :yay: :yay: :celebrate:

Congrats to you, Gary and Clyde! Some good games, Clyde. I'll see if we can get one today. We're having to worry about the Braves now! I hope we can hold on to the wildcard!

That felt like a play-off game last night.

Fun Fun Fun

Diane what has to happen for you to clinch ? That Wild Card race is so close... oh boy, you have the Cards today...
Maybe Clydegirl is willing to take a L for a fellow 3FC'er... lol... no ?

Red Sox must step it up today... we're down 2/3 this weekeend.. I'd love to end this road trip with a win, especially against those Yanks... and go home for the last time in regular play....

Enjoy ! :jeno:

I thought this 'List of WS Winners' going back to the mid 1850's was interesting.... some of the team names are really funny... Especially The Boston Red Stockings and The Brooklyn Bridegrooms. lol

Diane wouldn't you agree terrible job by the umpires this weekend?

Shaking my head at that dumb play by Albert in the 9th. The tying run would have scored with 2 outs.

Maybe he's tired after all the celebrations last night.
