[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Thirteen for you American League wankers, maybe

Twelve for us. :bounce:







Position players report Feb. 19. First full-squad workout Feb. 20.

First spring game Feb. 28 at 1:05 p.m. EST against Atlanta in Vero Beach.



I repeat: :bounce:

[SallyMander]

3. LOL

Well i'll join you in your :bounce:

even though you called me a wanker, just for love of baseball! :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. No, I called you a wanker

for supporting the designated hitter. :P

[SallyMander]

16. You sound like my fiance

I don't care -- i like to see the ball go BOOOOOOMMMMM over the green monster! :bounce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. I think it's more fun

to see it bounce off the Monster, about 30 feet up — either with a coupla homies on base or with somebody like Yaz playing the carom and the hitter thinking double.

Baseball's little dramas. :D

[SallyMander]

19. Have you seen Ken Burns' "Baseball" documentary?

Total must-see for any baseball lover! It's 9 "innings," and goes through the history of the game. I think he's working on a tenth "inning" now, and i'm SO excited because it should include 2004! :woohoo:

You just reminded me of it, because i was thinking of getting it for my dad and Yaz was his all-time favorite player. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. About 632 times

:D

Hey, if you have Netflix, they have highlight DVDs of World Series back to... well, way back. A few months ago I watched the Dodgers' championships in '55, '59, '63, '65, '81 and '88. The '65 Series was particularly cool because it was the first one I actually watched. (Funny, though — I remembered Earl Battey smacking his head on the dugout overhang, but the DVD showed it was his neck.)

[SallyMander]

25. I should've known!

I'd like to see it again... so much incredible footage/photos from back in the day.

Sometimes when i'm feeling blue i pop in "Faith Rewarded: the historic season of the 2004 Boston Red Sox" :7

2. You will appreciate this I think

Every day the news radio station counts down the days till Super Tuesday, the days till the Chesapeake primary (when my locality of Maryland, Va and DC vote) and the days till the Nats pitchers and catchers report...
Gotta keep the important stuff in perspective here in DC metro....:rofl:

[SallyMander]

4. Priorities!

Very important to have them. :D

[madinmaryland]

5. Are the Nats going to have a better record than my team?

[TZ]

6. The O's, right?

Does Peter Angelos still own the O's? Its gonna be close. I would say bottom dwellers both teams...Did you hear about the Nats big pickup Paul LoDuca? Not only was he in the Mitchell report but he has a serious injury now and will be out for awhile..

On edit: at least we will have a shiny new ballpark. I can't wait to see a game there!:bounce:
(Peter Angelos is the Dan Snyder of baseball)

[madinmaryland]

7. Actually, No. The owners (all three) have managed (i use that word very lightly)

make Peter Angelos look like a very astute person who is very good with player personnel decisions.

Even Mark Cuban is not really interested in them. It's NOT the Chicago Cubs either.

[TZ]

8. Hmmm

Is it another Texas team that used to be owned by a certain monkey like politician?

[madinmaryland]

9. Not a Texas team.

Though they have won world series in the past!

Ironically, they were against the O's!

:rofl:

Image how much fun I have had at work with that one!

[TZ]

12. Okay I give up

Unless..Its not the Cincinnati Reds is it? (I just remembered you grew up in Ohio!)

[madinmaryland]

14. You're getting closer, but no.

You are on the right track (even growing up in Ohio, I couldn't root for the local pro teams).

Think about a team that beat the O's twice in the World Series and in Game 7 no less!!

It may be a bit before your time though!

:hi:

[TZ]

17. Oh wait?

The METS?! The 69 Mets upset the O's right? (I was born in 69)

[madinmaryland]

22. Nope. Try again.

[TZ]

24. &$%T$

Just tell me now, okay? Your mind has too many twists and turns to follow....

[madinmaryland]

29. One last hint....

"We Are Family"

"Pops"



BTW, the coach of that team (Chuck Tanner) has a restaurant in New Castle, PA!

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Sarbanes-Oxley compliance is a riveting subject

Clear as mud and more fun than watching paint dry.

[SallyMander]

11. Wowza - even the Wiki article put me to sleep!

:rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. A real page turner isn't it?

:boring:

[Critters2]

21. Okay, I read this wrong. And thought, but doesn't the Lounge take care of that? nt

[SallyMander]

28. This was actually a copycat

of the thread you're thinking of! :D

[Radical Activist]

23. The White Sox are my favorite American League Team.

Why not.
