I see Clemente had the only one. I know how a walk-off works and how an inside-the-park grand slam works but combined? I can't find video or a play-by-play recount of it. Did the ball get stuck somewhere?

Because of their history and intensity, if you say Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park or Wrigley Field, that's fine, but put in a second choice as well.

It worries me that every year the World Series ratings go down. Money ball isn't working to make baseball popular, the millionaires who play it are colorless and aloof, there are no characters to speak of in the game, and without cable at all you can see football 3-4 days a week. The game I love is dying. It's withering and dying. What can be done (what can WE do) to change things? What can baseball do to change things? CAN the situation be improved? How?

I ask because like many of you baseball for me is better than ANY other sport. It is killing me to see the way that it is rapidly on its way to becoming America's 4th or 5th favorite sport. If nothing else -- can you make me feel a little better about the future???

They got swept by the Phillies twice in the past few weeks. First a four game sweep then a three game sweep. That's the ultimate choke job

Queens-sized choke
By Jeff Passan

The New York Mets are like a Jenga tower right now, fragile and teetering, everyone waiting for it to crumble, and poised to scream, bellow and cackle when it does.

If the Mets do collapse -- if they really, truly do blow their seven-game division lead they held on Sept. 12 -- it will register as one of baseball's all-time great accordion jobs, and not just because they're from New York.

To see a team with immense talent play like bums is harrowing. The Mets blew another inexplicable game Thursday night, ceding a three-run ninth-inning lead in an 8-7 extra-innings loss at Florida. It was the Mets' sixth loss in seven games, and Philadelphia's 7-6 comeback win against Washington propelled them to 1 1/2 games behind the Mets in the National League East standings.

Closer Billy Wagner was the latest denizen of the Mets' training room, missing the game with back spasms and forcing manager W

We need to go on a 9 game winning streak. The Tigers can still make the wild card (via stealing it from boston); what do you think will happen?

Barry Bonds called the owner of his record breaking homerun ball "an idiot" just because he wants to give the fans a right to vote on what should be done with the ball. Does this prove that Bonds has no class? Or should Bonds have the right to tell the owner of the ball what he can or can't do with the ball?

Joba Chamberlain or Clay Bucholz?

than another division leader?

In other words, does the team with the best record always play the team with the worst record or does it always play the wild card team.

I ask this because sometimes the wild card team will have a better record than another division leader.

It's like that right now. If the playoffs started right now, the Diamondbacks would hold the top record, and the wildcard team would be the Padres.

Would they face off or would the Dbacks play the Cubs because they have the worse record of the teams in the NL playoffs?

If not with who? Honestly I think there is only 4 teams in the league that can afford him.
Boston (please no!)
Anaheim (would make them the AL powerhouse)
NY Mets
NY Yankees (I dont think they would pay more because if he signs a new contract the Texas Rangers will be off the hook for the next 3 years)

I don't mean 27, as in a perfect game. I'm referring to total strikeouts, fielded outs, and perhaps pick-offs by one pitcher in one 9 inning game. I know 20 is the record for strikeouts in a 9 inning game, so is it Clemens?

Ryan Klesko. Remember when this guy could mack it hard? He has 278 career HR's in parts of 16 seasons. The 36 year old Klesko used to routinely hit 25-35 hr's per season from 1994-2003, then he lost his power. He has 6 HR's this year in 345 At Bats. Can anybody say "no more roids, no more power?"
