You've Got To Be Kidding Me Baseball Thread
 

Here we go TEAM...

closed down another one...

this outta get us through the World Series!

And then it will all be over until Spring Training :(

I miss it already.

Weather people are saying they would be surprised if the game gets played at all... lots of rain and wind is forecasted... sounds like a repeat of last weekend... and it was fine ...

A rain out would keep me from switching back and forth from the USC game...

Da fat lady done sung
 

The season is over; da fat lady done sung.

Is this the winter baseball thread? Where we swap players and seek outrageous contracts?

.

no Bill, its a fantasy league thread... lol

Is BILL trying to say...in a round about way...we should not have ANYTHING to do with those damn yankees?

Don't be hatin' :D

We're not hatin' here CINDERPA...

if Angels don't make it most of us will be pulling for Philly....

Yeah, yeah... Let's go Phillies!

I love my Phils!!!!! :D

Tearing myself away from Facebook...
 

Who woke up all these PHILLIE PHANS?

Where did these people come from?

I see the new Yankee stadium has cracks in it!!

But I'm a huge Yankees fan too. I'll be in a real dilemma :(

Just announced Mark McGwire will be the new hitting coach for the Cardinals.

Interesting move there BIG BIRD....

damn yankees

They needed someone new. Tony LaRussa will be back as well.

Sorry about your Angels Gary.

Yankees vs Phillies....

Go Phillies...

What's going on here?

Didn't BILL say the baseball season was over?

I think we need to show our respect.

I am confused?

All us old-timers on here are out of the picture now when it comes to our beloved game.

We will have to watch the Yankees :mad: play the Phillies :(

Oh well maybe next year ;)

Good luck to both teams. I think I'd rather the Phillies win even though it would mean they would be winners 2 years running.

Oh, I understand. I think it would be pretty cool for Philly to win it twice in a row..Never happened to them before :D

For THE NATION the baseball season was over after the Angels won...

For BIG BIRD the season was over after the DODGERS won...

For DIANE the season was over when the phillies won

for me the season was over 90% when the phillies won and the other 10% when the yankees won...

add it all up ....

Red Sox + Rockies + Cardinals + Dodgers + Angels = season over...

it's really just simple math ;)

Cool math :cool:

Sad math...

Go Phillies!

BTW, did you see that Rockies Manager, Jim Tracy, was named NL manager of the year!?? I think that was very appropriate!

old timers....the nerve...

Jim Tracy...saw that one coming...ANOTHER ex-Dodger done good....

Now that made me laugh.


Seasoned thread participants :lol3: :lol3:

So my fellow thread participants who is your pick for the World Series.

I'm going with the Phillies in 6.

PHILLIES of course....we only lose to the best!

I'd love to see the Phillies win, but I'm afraid that it will be the Yankees in 6.

Note to self: How did I get to be in the "seasoned" category?

<sigh> . . . denial is the only option to aging . . . and it's a great choice.


Much as it sticks in my throat, Yanquees in seven.


[Seasoned warrior here.]


.

This old timer could use some seasoning...

The experts in the Los Angeles Times have picked the yankees in 7

Guess they read BILL'S prediction...

they are also the ones that picked the Cardinals in 3....couldn't even through their home team a bone....

Well at least it finally gets started tonight!

Well I guess our chances of being able to afford a front line free agent pitcher is down the crapper...following is a list of some of what our owners wife wants in the divorce....

according to TMZ....


First off, Jamie lists the date of separation as July 6, 2009. Here are some of the things Jamie is demanding in the settle with husband Frank:

- travel by private jet
- 5 star hotel accommodations
- travel expenses - Unlimited
- business dinners 5 nights per week
- business lunches 5 days per week
- making Dodger Legends available for events without charge
- access to team doctors for McCourt family members
- access to the owner’s suite for Dodger home games and non-baseball events at the stadium
- Tickets to All-Star games and playoff games — even if the Dodgers aren’t playing
- a pass to all National League games

That’s not even the best part.
Jamie lists her living expenses as $488,928. Per month.

With the McCourts leveraged to the absolute hilt, those requests and figures are dubious at best. Most of the couple’s net worth is tied up with the team, as Frank sold off his Boston parking lot empire in order to pay off the loan he took out to buy the team. I’m not saying the McCourts don’t live like royalty, they most certainly do, but a good portion of their “living expenses” likely go to servicing loans to support their opulent lifestyles.

dang...can't we just all get along until after we win another WORLD SERIES?....dang

Almost half a million per month, wow.

Do they have any children? Didn't see any expenses for kids.

I believe they have one adult son that has some capacity in the organization.

It looks like even with a settlement like that she may need food stamps to survive....
