I can't stop thinking about the fans out there... I read this today...

A small but steady stream of somber fans came to the stadium Thursday to add flowers to a makeshift memorial on the pitcher's mound on the brick "infield" outside the stadium entrance.

A poster among the bouquets read, "No. 34, You are one more Angel in heaven." Scribbled on a baseball was, "Now you play for another Angels team."

This was what I opened my paper to this morning...I am still sick...

Morning guys.

Had a late night after the game. Glad to say the Cards won. It's always good when you go to the ballgame and they win.

Tough game for the ANGELS yesterday of course...but a win...still feeling ill.

DODGERS have lost their opening day starter, Kurado, for a few weeks...pitching is gonna hurt this year...proved that in the last 2 days with the losses....dang

Even though the loss last night made it 3 L's in a row, It was okay... RS need to take today's game though...

Clydegirl... I'm glad they won... absolutely more fun that way... I think my new hat and shirt that I added to my RS table is jinxed... they've lost 3 since I added it... so it has been removed and put away.. lol

So.... who wants to see a pic of me at the game ???
Try this link.. I'm the one with hair in my mouth.. lol

Way cool SWEET-C....Just like we pictured you!

So did they sing to you at the game?....bom-bom-bom

Were you nervous BILL and SWEET-C?

Missed most of the middle of the game while Angie and I walked the mutts and did some grocery shopping...saw the ninth though...

all those foul balls with the bases loaded....

Caroline nice to see you. Hubs took pics of me last night I might put one up.

Great game today that Albert Pujols may have a future in baseball. 2 home runs, 7 rbi's. Grand slam into Big Mac Land.

Last but not Least
 

Yep.

Not so cool being in absolute LAST place in our division.

But now, at least, we have the same W/L record as the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers both.

Geez... That was a big finish.. all those fouls... Certainly not typical for Papelbon.. I was out at a neighborhood place and honestly, it was like a playoff game, everyone gasping on each pitch lol ... Lovin Jason Bay !!

Tis the season for baseball, hockey and basketball all at once... I think Bruins are out now though..

Can't wait to see pics Clydegirl...

And yes...EZ, they sang to me in the 8th... bom, bom, bom...
Hopefully the RS new CD is in my Easter basket... lol... Have a nice day tomorrow everyone..

I made it to onderland today.. yeah me..

HI BILL... we were posting at the same time...

DODGERS had an easy win tonight over the snakes...was able to decorate my pizza for Angie to bake....get my scalloped potatoes started for tomorrow and flip to some 3rd rock from The Sun reruns during the game....sweet!

Yep...Albert had a mighty fine day, for those Cards, Big Bird!

Cool picture, Sweetcaroline! And congrats on onederland!!!

Rockies were not good last night. Just couldn't get it going, I guess.

DODGERS WIN!!!

but I was watching the MASTERS with my son and dil, daughter and sil, and Angie after church.....

Yay Wonderland
 

Yep, SweetCaroline, Ouch for Red Sox Nation today.








So, Let's celebrate
Onederland ... bom ... bom ... bom

good times never seemed so good

Yeah Dodgers...

Thanks Bill....... I'm settling into Onederland quite nicely...
Hang in there Diane...

Listen and watch... As Fenway sings to me....

Kyle Lohse got a shut-out yesterday to sweep the Astros.

Onto Arizona today.

Congrats Caroline on onederland.

ESPN commercial.

Have you all seen this?

http://videos.stltoday.com/p/video?id=3729361

Well, I'm very very happy {Caroline rolls eyes} that all of your teams are winning and {snif} playing well with the other boys {Caroline bursts into tears}

Very nice picture Gary... Easter morn ?

Clydegirl... I couldn't get audio on that clip, so I'm off to find it... looks funny.

Does anyone else believe that deaths come in 3's ? Because, first there was Nick Aydenhart, then yesterday the Phillies broadcaster, and over the weekend a pitcher (Detroit Tigers) from Massachusetts, died by accident, he was 54.
On the sunnier side, as with deaths in 3's, births do too...

:carrot: DODGERS WIN!!!!!!

We just kicked the crap outta the giants in our home opener 11-1 :carrot:

Watched it on the computer after I got home from walking the mutts with Angie. Padres are on tv up 1-0 over RAZZ's Mets in the first.

It was Easter Sunday afternoon SWEET-C for the picture...so good....so good ;)

BIG BIRD....a shirt for you at the bottom of the page :)

SWEET-C

It was Mark Fidrych that passed away...so sad...he was so much fun to watch the couple of years he pitched for Detroit in the 70's...I found this link that shows a little about him...he was something else!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm_jU0b5Hgw

I CAN'T TAKE IT AGAIN TONIGHT :tantrum:
We are down 5 to 1 bottom 2nd
But I guess its better than Yankees, they already lost today to Rays 15-5 :D

Meant to thank you Gary for info on Fidrych, sounds like he was quite a character. RIP

Hi Caroline. I'm watching the Cards at the D-Backs. It's 1-1 bottom of the 6th.

I believe things come in 3's. They were talking about Fidrych and Harry Kalas on the news tonight.

Hope you get to see that commercial for Sportscenter.

Congrats to the Dodgers on their home opener.

Caroline, you don't have to worry about me watching my boys win TOO much. The Rockies barely missed losing in a no-hitter yesterday. They had 1 hit. Woohoo

I keep forgetting to mention that a local boy....from mine and my kids alma mater is pitching for the Oakland A's this year...a young guy, about 21 I 'spose...2 decent outings so far. I saw him pitch in high school a few years back....didn't see "MAJOR LEAGUE" written on him...could be why I finish drywall and don't scout baseball players! Trevor Cahill is his name.

Noooooo Chris Carpenter just left the game injured. Fingers crossed it's nothing major.

They're saying it's a strained left rib cage injury. I suppose that's good news but he will be out a few weeks :mad: :tantrum: :tantrum:

Top 90th Percentile
 

Ouch, Ouch, OUCH.

Of 30 teams in Major League Baseball, only Washington, Cleveland, and Houston have won less than the two (2!!!!!!) wins of the Red Sox.

Just WOW.

[The Optimist Calculating: YAY - we're in the top 90th Percentile of MLB]

Gary, thank you for the info on Mark Fidrych. He was one of the reasons I got into baseball when I lived in the US. He was such a character.
I was really sad to hear of his passing.

I miss baseball so much!

Oh good! The Rockies won today! (Sorry Cubs fans!)
We needed a little lift!

Good win today after last night's disappointments.

Now it's onto Chicago for 4 games. Should be an interesting weekend. They brought up 3 pitchers from the minors. P.J Walters will make his major league debut on Friday.

Still waiting to whooop up on the giants again!...west coast time ya know!

OK so I am watching the padres get beat by the Mets...YIPEEEEE! and I am hearing SWEET CAROLINE in the background...is that allowed RED SOX NATION?

Yay Red Sox
 

OK, Red Sox are back in action.

So, sing with me:


Sweet Onderland ...dom ... dom ...dom

yes... yes... It's allowed.... absolutely Gary... lol
Anytime you say Yippee and Red Sox in the same breath it counts as a cheer for RSN... lol

Bill you are definitely a half full kind of guy aren't you... lol... It's so early, but I was getting worried...

I had trouble getting into this thread last night... hmmm.. maybe a good thing given the fact I wasn't a happy camper...:mad: 2:30am... Jerry Remy said, "well, if you are still watching you are a true fan" and boom, it was over... I threw the pillow at the TV and stomped off to bed.. :(



But TODAY... :dancer::dancer: whoa...:yay: different day, different game... WTG WAKEFIELD... he was amazing... good timing as we lost Dice K to DL and Beckett is being punished for not apologizing for almost knocking Mr. Abreau out :stars:... love to be a fly on the wall at that appeal


Sweet Onderland ..all is well in Red Sox Nation until Friday at 7:05pm.dom ... dom ...dom
Yes BILL... I'm singing........

Caroline Chris Carpenter is on the 15 day DL and they sent Thompson down as he sucked last night. Carpenter could be out 8 weeks probably more knowing his luck.

Walters will take Carpenter's spot and Perez will join the bullpen. Boggs will go where he's needed.

Don't you love this game how it can change so much from one day to the next :D
