Birds on the Bat

I wanted to see him play one last game wearing the birds on the bat but it wasn't to be. He had to retire due to injury.

Cardinals definitely have one of the coolest and most classic uniforms ever.

I'll be there in spirit Gary..just wake me when Opening Day at Fenway is over! ;)

3 against the Giants. Their opening weekend, so all the festivities are underway.

We need to win a few games.

Let's go Cards.

I just hope that morons up here don't lower themselves to those thugs' level when the Dodgers come to town next week.

Those were NOT fans. They are nothing more than gangland thugs.

This is the oldest rival in baseball but it doesn't have to be like this.

Go Giants. Wish I could watch the game so I could see them get their world series rings and all.

Finally!

I pray that this terrible tragedy doesn't repeat itself anywhere else!

I'm so relieved !... :D
They all looked good today, but Papelbon look great !:sumo:

And then there's the Manny Retirement story..... and I was looking forward to he and Damon getting heckled out there..

C~YA MANNY :wave:



and thanks for the month and year you were with us...it was a blast....brought life back....but then....as you always did you sucked the life right back out of us....

Welcome to the beginning of the Red Sox season.

We just had to get the right team to beat.

Joining with our Dodger brethren waving goodby to Manny. Remembering fondly the part that was a good run here at the Nation.

That was a hard one to lose in extra innings.

Our closer blew the save. His second blown save of the season :(

Go Giants!

I totally missed the start of this thread, thought about it last night and came searching for it today. Is it too late to pop in?

I'm still with the same teams I followed last year - Braves are my home team, Red Sox are my fantasy team.

Hi Shannon. Welcome back.

I will add you to the fantasy game.

Think I might be glad I decided to go out last night instead of staying home to watch the Sox. :(

But super excited today! I thought they were on FOX today (the Sox are rarely the team shown in Denver) but just got a wonderful surprise that they are in fact on WGN so I will actually get to watch the ballgame! YAY! :cb:
