Ask the Angels. Snapped the Nationals' winning streak last night 11 -1 .

They're still on top of the NL East, though.

I definately want Boston to make the playoffs, but if they don't, at least the Nats could be some small consolation.

:eek:

Boston 42 30 .583
Baltimore 42 31 .575 .5
NY Yankees 37 36 .507 5.5
Toronto 37 37 .500 6
Tampa Bay 26 48 .351 17

Yanks drop 3 of 4 to Sweet Lou at home?!?!

baseball is not for taking naps! baseball is an awesome sport if u knew how to play it! and why r we talking about baseball on a basketball page? just wondering....

Did you wake up "cranky" from your nap? We always have an annual baseball thread on this basketball site. The title told you it was "off-topic".

yes i do wake up cranky but not when i write these

Ashley,
To paraphrase Samuel Johnson (I think). It is better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

So, JR - are they going to let you out of Shady Hills Rest Home long enough to go down to Tampa today to help George shake things up?

Wood will be back for my Cubbies tomorrow; in fact my family's had tickets for this game for a while, so I'll get to see it in person. Hopefully he'll do as well as Prior did on his return.

Now, I've got to get back to my hunting.

Here, goat...here goatie...here goatie...

Hell, you got a better chance of finding a virgin in Chicago as finding a goat. The goat is usually better looking too. Sacrifice a coach instead. Hell, sacrifice a couple of 'em- just on general principles.

Wood comes off IL tomorrow,eh? And goes back on around Friday? That's the usual <i>modus operandi</i>, isn't it? :D

Yup, I watched Prior. He was awesome. He'll be awesome for another start and a half too until he hurts his poor widdle arm again. Know what? They should turn him into a closer.

1908.

PS: Note that I never mentioned the Yankees. At my age those little veins inside the head blow out awful easily.

I asked this in the Summer Tournament thread, but it's likely that one will get yanked before long, so I'll ask again here. What happened in MLB 100 years ago today, June 29, 1905? (Hint: It was not recognized as significant until more than 80 years later.)

Something about Moonlight Graham's only MLB game. He was forgotten until the movie "Field of Dreams."

Moonlight Graham's only ML game.

80 yrs later Kevin Costner's boring movie gave him an additional 5 minutes of fame.

What!? Boring movie? If the action isn't up to Jackie Chan and Steven Segal standards, then it's boring? Haven't you thrown away that bong and gone to your AA meeting yet? (Oops, I hate it when I keep mixing up my threads...) :D

I thought it was a pretty good movie, but predictable in the way it does the heartstring tugging. But still a good movie to watch with your son (or dad). I guess I didn't know Moonlight Graham was an actual person; I thought he was just a character added to the story, just like Kevin Costner's dad. It's amazing how much you can learn listening to announcers, like the ones doing the ESPN game last night. ;)

I thought it was a pretty good movie, but predictable in the way it does the heartstring tugging.

[/B][/QUOTE]The last good "heartstring tugging" movie was Bambi. I defy anybody to look me in the eye and tell me they didn't tear up when Bambi's mother died.

Whoops! Forgot ET. The part where ET's light when out and little whatsisname thought he was toast. That was a good 'un too.
