Baseball - October 2006

Ladies don't say he's dreamy. I just don't see it. Put him on the Devil Rays. Does he do any better there? No I don't think so. Is it because he's surrounded by Stienbreners hired guns? Maybe so. This is not a Yankee bashing question. Just curious. I played the game for 22 years so don't say I don't know what I'm talking about. I've seen better hitting and fielding shortstops. Don't get me wrong, he is a good, not great player.

I'm a huge Tribe fan. I know they sucked this season, but I have high hopes for next season, but all us Tribe fans say that and they always end up suckin.

There are a lot of athletes in Europe. Would there be a way to get them interested in the game?

You would think all catchers would be great hitters becuase they see all the pitches. Why aren't they better hitters?

so with the a's finally making it out of the first round for the first time in 5 years, do you think they would talk about that more if they were from the east coast?

Will any network, TV or radio, feature Scully durring the 2006 playoffs or World Series? Also, during the Dodger's series against the Mets, I watched Fox, who used their own announcers, though at one point they cut to a shot of Vin in his booth, obviously announcing for someone, somewhere. Where was this heard? Lastly, is there a good archive on the web of Scully's most famous games or moments? Thanks!!!

Fans always want homerun balls from the opposing team to be thrown back onto a field, but what if the person who caught it doesn't want to throw it back? My friend's son caught a ball at a game and decided to keep it. The crowd booed, but mostly directed their taunts at my friend (the father). One guy went so far as to tell him, "You've gotta teach the boy right...teach 'em early. We don't take that here."

Are these people insane?

I completely understand the die-hard fan mentality, but when it comes to a young kid, I just don't get it. He wanted to catch a ball at a game, and he did...Why should he have to throw it back...His father asked him if he wanted to keep it or throw it back, and he said he wanted to keep it. It should be his choice, right?

This whole story made me wonder, are there any tricks to avoid heckling in situations like this? Should you just leave immediately, or find another place to sit?

11 years as the Yankees manager and he's only made the postseason every year with 10 division titles and 4 world championships. I mean, can we say SUCK!?

Of course, on any other team that track record would be good enough to earn him untouchable status, but it just doesn't cut it for America's team (or is it really God's team?).

I know he's dead, but the New York Post said Steinbrenner is looking at all possible options. Would a dead manager outperform a sentient being?

In my lifetime, I do see Major League Baseball establishing another expansion team from scratch and I could see a professional team in either Charlotte, North Carolina or Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.

My friend is a huge Mets fan and I'm a huge Yankees fan. Of course he's having a ball teasing about the Yankees already being out of playoffs. As a gag type thing, I'm making a flag for my outdoor flap pole that has the Yankee logo and something along the lines of saying, 'Can't win them all.' Then I'd really like to write something in terms of anti-Mets, but not sure what to put considering they obviously have made it past the Yankee's point. Any suggestions?

In a previous post G.P. and freshslate328 brought up some intresting points. Home field and pressure's. Mainly I'm refering to closers. Huston Street was on one of my fantasy teams,so, I followed him quite a bit. He does have a tendancy to choke a bit. While I'll give you that Todd Jones might be " a grizzled vet who has been around but doesn't throw particulary overpowering", but, he is right at home in Comerica Park and the crowd is gonna be off the hook when they get there.

That being the case, why doesn't Leyland start things off with Verlander instead of Robertson? A first game loss to the A's sends them reeling.
