Baseball 2009

Jeter has tied Lou Gehrig's mark of 2,721 hits in a Yankees uniform. This record has stood for 70 years.

The Yankees are off tomorrow, but look for him to break the record on Friday, at the Stadium, against Baltimore.

At least it is Jeter, who likely will spend his career as a Yankee.

The voice of our childhood is in its sunset.

A really good article about Ernie from this morning's Freep.

An FYI - In 1948, Harwell became the only announcer in baseball history to be traded for a player when the Brooklyn Dodgers' general manager, Branch Rickey, traded catcher Cliff Dapper to the Crackers in exchange for breaking Harwell's broadcasting contract. (Harwell was brought to Brooklyn to substitute for regular Dodger announcer Red Barber, who was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer.)

I haven't visited this thread in a while. My Phils are hangin' in there but I have to say some of our recent games have caused my blood pressure to rise and my fingernails to take a beating It won't be long until we say goodbye to baseball season. Still...........GO PHILLIES!

[RICHARD]

I didn't see the Dodger game yesterday so I do not know anything....

[Pam]

[Karen]

the Red Sox got the wild card spot clinched, though they haven't been doing much to deserve it the last week or so ...

but still, I hope they can turn things around! Hope DOES spring eternal.

[Pam]

YES!!!!!!!!

[RICHARD]

YES!!!!!!!!

Finally, a woman who says YES!

The Dodgers are just one tripped out team, I watched the Rockies win a playoff spot and hop the LAD's have one win left in the season?

Is there a base ball Jesus?

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl

Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we were born to ride

Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere

Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)

I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it)

With most main stream sports, I only care if Im there live. But if Im in Chicago I dont think I could root for the White Sox. Other then that Im open for the home field team.

I LOVE BASEBALL!!!!
