This NLCS is going to be intense.

It's safe to say these 2 teams can't stand one another.

Last time they met the benches cleared in the 9th inning.

This year Cards and Brewers 9-9.

Back in the good 'ol days Gibson would hit the first Dodger in the ribs then Drysdale would come back and hit the first cardinal in the helmet...now that is baseball...

this crock of waiting until the 9th then pushing and shoving is a joke...;)

heck...those Giants (Marichal) even hit our catcher (Roseboro) over the head with his bat!

Now that's real baseball :)

Ahh yes the good old days :)

I've been absent for quite a while but can I just say I absolutely freaking LOVE Nellie Cruz??

Yes you can say that XL....

nothing against the Rangers here except they beat my ANGELS....

pulling for those Tigers to win at least a couple...

a good friend of mine is a childhood friend of Jim Leyland.

We gave them one and I hope that was the only one! I seriously laughed at our DH (catcher) in the 9th spot last night. :D

It's back to Milwaukee.

We need one more against those guys.

Texas looks scary.

I like Jim Leyland.

Texas looks very scary...but the best teams (on paper....Phillies) don't always win....thank goodness!

Go birds go!

These RANGERS are tough XL....real tough!

We just need to get through this game tonight.

Should be over around 1am.

Congrats to the Cardinals. Kinda dramatic way to take the prize.

;)

QUICK!!! PM me with the winner....I might wanna lay a bet down!! :D

I will be pulling for those BIRDS being a National League guy but I have to say those RANGERS look like the team to beat if those bats stay hot.....

Is the World Series over yet? It's been a while now.




[Thank goodness I'm not such a petty person that I'm glad that the Yanques didn't make it.]

Was that a dream?

World Series bound and I don't have a ticket :( It's on my bucket list.

I was more worried during that game last night, the way the ball was flying, than what I was during game 5 with the Phillies when we won 1-0.

Starters come on we need innings from you guys.

Texas, Welcome to St.Louis.

I hope our batting stays hot. We've had our ups and downs with our starting pitchers all year but so long as we can continue to rely on our bullpen I think we might have a shot.

Last year was very painful to make it all the way to the end and not get the World Series victory. :(

OK, there's been an agreement; here's the latest:
.

Now Frank is free to decide what to do with his Dodgers (with the minor constraint that Major League Baseball doesn't want that - whatever that is). And Jamie can choose whatever color curtains she wants.

DANG! ;)..........................:)

It's going to be cold, wet and very windy tonight.

Another reason to shorten the baseball season by a few weeks....

but then the weather may be better where the game would have been played tonight ;)

Can I just say WOW.

Yes Gary I said all those things back in August and September.

Then something happened. I can't explain it.

I have a parade to go to tomorrow :)

I can't believe you went back though all those posts. Well actually I can.

An awesome game 6. Never seen anything like it. David Freese MVP.

I have to go out and buy some world series gear.

Baseball is a wonderful game.

It's 162 games and you just never know.

LOL Wasn't that hard BIG BIRD I think they were all on page 3!

And I know right where you're coming from...they were toast..but they continued to play and had the fortunate collapse of the Braves.

My Dodgers were at the same point of 10 or 10 1/2 back as your Birds...they went toe to toe with the Cards down the stretch too...I think maybe 1 more loss....but we still finished 10 back or so...the Snakes didn't collapse.

So many times I have seen teams come back from for sure wins to lose and vice versa in all sports. Realistically it wasn't going to happen....you feel foolish even thinking that they could be there in the end...

It usually doesn't when the well is that deep and drying up...

but sometimes...

there is still a cup of water left to bring back life...

and that's what makes it all worthwhile!

There were so many moving parts that made it all happen.

The Rasmus trade, without that our bullpen would have not made it through. Plus we got another starter in Jackson.

The Furcal signing. Enough said. His defense alone improved us. I hope they re-sign him.

Now I have a parade to go to :)

Not to change the subject or anything, but

Congrats to the Red Sox, and Congrats to the Dodgers

for each having 3 players earn Gold Glove Honors.




[Without bothering to make post season, LOL.]

So who's going to buy the Dodgers? Gary?

We had one gold glover :)

Well all the talk around here is the same as it has been for a while...

A group effort being put together by Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser or Mark Cuban.

The way the team was run into the ground financially I think Mark Cuban is way too smart to buy...

and that makes me sad...very...very...sad!

Donald Trump? No.

How about Larry King?

Oprah, she has money.

Congratulations Lance Berkman NL Comeback Player of The Year.

Can the Dodgers really be worth One Billion US Dollars???





[I'm in for $100. If a few of you join me, we can be the new owners - with Gary as General Manager, of course.]

BILL todays billion must be the "new" 500 million!

I think the clown paid 421 million of play money so that would be a nice profit...especially since he stole $$$$ from the TEAM for personal use....

allegedly.....:dizzy:

I would gladly GM tomorrow for a hamburger today! :)

Just what the Phillies need...another star pitcher

Manny's Coming Back

Perhaps the new Dodgers???

I will be amazed if anyone picks him up, unless he will play for free!

It just doesn't stop with 'dem Dodgers.

One Joe Torre is quitting his day job to join a cabal that will attempt to buy the team.

Perhaps they plan to use Manny's money, LOL.

This thread is still going? :p

So who gets Torre's old job? Maybe LaRussa?

Just waiting for someone to...

"show me the $$$$$"

then I'd be willing to sell my 50+ years of loyalty....

I'm only in it for the $$$$$$....

go ahead...

call me...

EZ!
