OUCH! BIG BIRD...not a great start...watching this one while I wait for my guys...I think Angie has plans to go to Kohl's though....

pitching did us in and a few errors :(

Bad decision on LaRussa to bring Wellemeyer in to pitch. He's done.

Cubs win ****

Well a scary win for us today...again the Brewers had the winning runs on base...put couldn't get them in...after we had a 6-1 lead.

That is our main concern....pitching...not going to go all the way unless we find a way to stay out of the bullpen.

My nephew drove from his base to the game too...texted me a picture of the stadium and says..."I am at the DODGER GAME and you're not...ha-ha!"

Then he called me...cool...way cool...

Going to the break with a 7 game lead....I can live with that...

Good luck everyone in the second half!

It's been fun (for most of us)....

Profound Gratitude to the Angles
 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Gary and your Angles for sweeping the NY Yankees three games.

The Nation leads the Yankees by three games now.

I can't stand listening to these ESPN commentators.

:D Joe Morgan is the worst in the world...guarantee to repeat everything a zillion times...that is why I "listen" with the sound off most of the time!

over and over on the play at second...on closed caption...

Got the win.

Finish in first place going into the All star Break :)

Now that's a great way to start your BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BIRD :bday2you:

Thanks Gary, a nice way to start the day :)

Happy birthday, Clyde!

Here's to a great 2nd half. I'm glad that the Rockies ended with a win.

Cheers Diane.

Is anyone going to watch the Home Run Derby tonight?

I have batting practise on right now, om MLB.

It's a gorgeous day in St. Louis, bit warm on the field.

I might watch some of it BIG BIRD...to be honest...for me...and only speaking for me...all the HR derby's...slam dunk contests are a bit old.

I miss the way the All-Star game used to be too...not trying to take away from what we have now...but it seemed to be better years ago...maybe because I was young....

Enjoy the derby/game and all the festivities!

After all it is still baseball...and THAT...is a great thing!

The HR DERBY would be boring me....

if it wasn't for all the kids!!!!! What fun for them running around, chasing baseballs hit by stars!

awesome...just awesome!

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for my birthday to eat so as we could watch the derby :)

I've never really watched much of it before tonight. It's fun to see the city from the blimp.

St Louis is beautiful! Just wonderful to see the arch, the fountain, and the ballpark.

I actually enjoyed the celebrity softball game more than the HR derby. Funny stuff! And Goose Gossage is one of my all time favorites!
