Don't worry, there's always next year.

Oh... wait... I get it.

It's April 1st. You almost had me thinking you think they have a shot.

Man I thought you were gonna dog me for yesterday. For some reason, I thought you were a Wankers fan.

I hate the term Cubbies. But I'll be watching as always. I like Mike Quade

way to go dumpster!

Feyd · 04-01-2011, 03:44 PM

I'm actually going to the game tomorrow. I don't like baseball much, but I'll be attending as part of someone's birthday celebration. *joy*

My game plan is to just pound $9 Old-Styles to the point at which it doesn't matter any more... hope it works.

This is the same plan I use when the Mets give up 10 in the first inning and I have to stay and watch... Works every time.

LOL... someone else's birthday actually (my soon to be brother-in-law). But mine does happen to be on the 15th, so I'll take it.

I'm back.. and somehow I managed to get a sunburn during cloudy/rainy game. Gonna look awesome for my first day at the new job on Monday.

NYCGP · 04-02-2011, 04:30 PM

Vacation guy... everyone's least favorite guy at work is the dude with the tan...

Unfortunately when it comes to tanning, I have (2) speeds.. Pale as fuck and burnt to a crisp.

O well, it'll make for a good story.

BTM · 04-18-2011, 08:16 AM

OK I can't get this off my mind. Story of my fucking life. Looking for the highlight but can't find it right now. Friday was a 0-5L in 'Rado but 4 runs score in a single AB that wasn't a GS!!!?!?! Bases loaded, Byrd misses the catch in center and clears the bases, and then the batter (name slips my mind ATM) scores on a throwing error to 3rd!!!1

Maybe it's selective memory but I can't recall any 4 run plays that weren't GS recently

Of course it wasn't, because of the error. I'm not familiar with the specifics of the play you're talking about, but if a runner advances to home on a throwing error after hitting the ball and reaching up to third base, it's a triple with advancement to home on an error. In essence, the batter doesn't get full credit for it because he didn't deserve it.

Yes, it was a triple. Doesn't change the fact that 4 runs scored

Well, one of the prerequisites for a Grand Slam is that it has to be a Home Run. It's established terminology within the sport and a GS can't be accomplished without first meeting the precondition that it's also a Home Run (whether over the fence or inside the park).
