Now we can get on with what's important

[Oeditpus Rex]

Katie Casey was baseball mad
Had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew
Ev'ry sou
Katie blew
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No,
I'll tell you what you can do"

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back
Let me root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win, it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out
At the old ball game

Go Cubs Go!

[KitchenWitch]

[JackBeck]

4. I do workshops once a month next door to Yankee Stadium.

Specifically, right across the street from where they are building the new Yankee Stadium, which is right next to old Yankee Stadium.

As I was walking back to the subway on Wednesday, old Yankee stadium had on its marquee, "15 days until pitchers and catchers". It took a lot to contain my excitement (not for the Yankees, though).

7. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

:hug:

You just became my new bestest friend. I'll go to Mets game with you, if you go to a Yankees game with me.

:toast:

[JackBeck]

9. It's a date.

I've been to both stadiums and not for nothing, Mets fans are by far more civilized.

:hug:

[CorpGovActivist]

15. Boisterous Yankees fans?

Never met one, personally.

:rofl:

Let's check schedules.

5. I was so sure this would be a sex thread

[Oeditpus Rex]

[Debi]

[JTG of the PRB]

11. Ahh, at last... It's almost baseball season!

LET'S GO ROCKIES!!!

[Connonym]

12. Remember in the olden days when they didn't do idiotic grass patterns?

for some reason I find the patterned grass cutting to be annoying. Is it just me? Maybe, but meh on them

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Hey, the guy who drives the lawn mower gets paid by the hour

You anti-labor or somethin'? :wtf:

[Connonym]

17. hell yes, they should get a frakkin' machine to do it

this IS America after all!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Why do you want to put Jaime on the welfare rolls?

:cry:

[Beer Snob-50]

55. i understand the yankees are outsourcing cutting the grass

to india this year.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hot damn!!!!!! Go Mariners!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Looks like somebody took the 'blur' tool to right field

:P

[SeattleGirl]

23. That's Area 51.

It's blurred so that the opposite team can't see Ichiro.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Ah, so!

Inscrutable. :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

27. You know it.

They don't call him The Wizard for nothin'.

[krispos42]

58. That was Cheney going to throw the first pitch..

(just like how the Naval Observatory is fuzzed out)

[JTG of the PRB]

21. That is a gorgeous stadium with a gorgeous view.

But on a beautiful summer's day, there's no view I'd rather see than this one...

[SeattleGirl]

24. Is that Coors Field?

[JTG of the PRB]

29. Yes indeed!

Coors Field as seem from right field in the upper deck in foul territory. At sunset, of course!

[SeattleGirl]

30. It's beautiful!

[JTG of the PRB]

32. Agreed!

I look forward to seeing a game at SafeCo Field some day. It would have been cool if the stadium sort of faced the opposite direction with Mount Rainier as the view, but I've always liked the Seattle skyline.

[cboy4]

18. Go Giants!! ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I wish a fine season for the Giants and their fans

May each of their 55 wins be joyous. :)

[cboy4]

28. And I hope Cabrera has a terrific year for you guys!

:)

[Fox Mulder]

25. Twins fan here.

W00t!

[Ryano42]

31. "Pick me out a winner, Bobby..."

Spring, the smell of cut grass...the crack of the bat...



Can't wait. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Who's the skinny kid in the second photo?

Some cuppa-coffee rook who couldn't hit the curve ball? :shrug:

[pokerfan]

34. Sure, but only after

and

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. Dare I dream for the perfect sports year?

First this...


Then this...


All within 72 hours! This has really been a banner sports week for me...I'm seriously on cloud nine tonight!

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. You need to dream up a fresher photo of Santana

Oooo, post one of those cool shots from the press conference when they sign the latest guy who's gonna turn the franchise around — y'know, the one where they stick a cap that doesn't fit on his head and make him put on a jersey over his suit.

Those are so debonair.

[Reverend_Smitty]

39. Problem is, we haven't had the press conference yet

That's on Wednesday...the day after the parade down broadway! :P If I were a little more up to it I could photoshop a little NY on his cap as a preview of what he will look like hoisting up that Cy Young award as a Met :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. They haven't unveiled him yet??

The deal was, what, a month ago? :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

44. wasn't finalized until Friday

they were going to have the press conference on Tuesday but I guess they didn't want their thunder stolen on the back pages

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. Ar, yeah

Stupid baseball. Used to be, you traded for a guy, he got on a plane right freakin' now, landed, caught a cab to the ball yard, signed, got his unie and was workin' out that afternoon.

Seriously. In the late '30s, I think, there was a trade between the Cubs and somebody between games of a doubleheader. The players involved walked across the diamond, went into the other clubhouse and suited up.

[Reverend_Smitty]

48. Not these days any more...

not when there is elevendy billion dollar contracts to negotiate

on edit:
he is in town

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. That's just his signing bonus, right?

:D

[Reverend_Smitty]

51. just the change he found in his sofa cushions

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. ...

:cry:

[Ariana Celeste]

37. psh

GIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. When the Giants come to town

it's "Bye-Bye Baby"
Every time the chips are down, it's "Bye-Bye Baby"
History's in the making at Candlestick Park
Cheer for the batter, and light the spark

If you're a fan of Giants baseball, sing "Bye-Bye Baby"
If you want to be in first place, call "Bye-Bye Baby"
Listen to the broadcast on KSFO
Turn up the volume, and hear 'em go

With the San Francisco Giants, it's "Bye-Bye Baby"



:P

[Ariana Celeste]

46. lol

"What we have here, is a failure to communicate."

I'm talkin NY GIANTS babyyyyy

[skater314159]

[Deep13]

[krispos42]

57. Yes... CHESS!

The first Grand Prix is less than three months away in Baku, Azerbaijan!!!!!


I need a passport! And a flag to wave! And a "Bedazzled" sweatshirt! And body paint! And a beer helmet! And roasted peanuts! And a foam finger!



And I'd better convert my money before the dollar drops any more...
