    I can't believe Stetter has to get up in the 8th inning with 2 outs
  2. pitchleague
    obligatory baserunners and run(s) from Turnbow. I guess I'd rather have him do it tonight than in some meaningful game.
  3. pitchleague
    nice strike three call there. I thought he was going to turn into the Hulk.
  4. pitchleague
    I know he ripped the ball twice, but it's a blowout in April. I'd rather pull him and some of the other studs rather than have some freak injury in a 12-3 game.
  5. pitchleague
    The Pirates beat the Mets 13-1 today. EVERY team gets their rear handed to them once in a while--even the Brewers.
  6. pitchleague
    well, at least they won't get shut out. Getting some decent wood on the ball but playing from behind is just not fun.
  7. pitchleague
    consider this topic moved.

    that first statue picture is not Rogers Hornsby but Honus Wagner. edit: okay, either I was drunk on 4/30/08 or I don't know amything about baseball (or maybe the photo was changed) but it is definitely Wagner.

    I haven't seen it online yet, but I'm pretty sure that they will release it on PC later this year/next year after they work out the kinks, etc. and spiff it up for the PC. That's what they've done with almost all of the other GTA games.
  10. pitchleague
    It'd be just like a High School game, then. That'd be interesting, to say the least. I'd think they'd suspend the game if that were to happen. Definitely if they, somehow, got down to only one ump.
  11. pitchleague
    Very good for you! Many of us (myself included) took over a year (nearly 2 for me!) before we finally landed one! What field, if I may ask?
  12. pitchleague
    The Waterloo-Cedar Falls area is comparable in size (not population) to Fond du Lac, perhaps. There's plenty of stuff there so you won't be in the boonies. They even have decent night clubs and stuff with the college there. Come on, they have their own television station (NBC affiliate, I believe) that I watched all the time when I lived in Decorah so it can't be too bad. I would recommend the area.

    okay, sounds fair to me. Chalk up another example of why I hate message boards occasionally--the lack of truly knowing one's "vocal tone" in printed words.

    I agree that the tone of post #24 is a bit "threatening", sort of (don't know what else to call it). But it's not that big of a deal. Hopefully jwill will take it with a grain of salt. Sacrifices are essential to get out of debt. I would love to be able to pay twice my mortgage payment every month. But my wife and I can not afford it at the present time. We pay at least 2-3 times our credit card minimum every month (sometimes even more) to get those balances down. It really all depends on what you do for a living and how much you make. Jwill and his family are blessed to have, what appears, more money than others. Oh, well. Some of us chose to be teachers. Oh, well. My family and I get along in life well within our means and we are happy. It sounds like jwill is happy. I hope you all are happy in your situation. That's the most important part--being happy that you can get by. Congrats, jwill! I hope to join you in the debt-free club someday. I'm working on it, one debt account at a time!

    In high school I was blessed with a 1984 Dodge Omni (brown). I don't remember what happened to that car (I think my dad sold it). Then, in college I inherited a 1984 Dodge Omni (blue) that my dad bought for $500. Manual transmission, 2.4 L turbo-charged engine, man that thing could move! I loved it and I cried when it died here in Arizona some 7 years ago. I put over 100,000 miles on it after it was already at around 83,000 when I got it. I still remember having to learn how to drive stick with that car. If I learned, I was able to take it to college. If not, it stayed at home. Two days of solo test-driving and I had it down--that car was going to be mine! The shifter was a bit funky, though. You had to do things "just right" to get it to shift properly. It felt like one of those 1950's moments you see in movies about knowing how to start a car because the owner put some "special modification" in so he is the only one that knows how to start it up. Then, I taught my cousin how to drive it because we were road-tripping to Cooperstown for Spring Break and he had to do some of the driving. He wanted to go real bad so a day of solo driving and he had it mastered, sort of. Man, I miss that car!

    I don't like the Sesame Street shirts much. Although they are funny, they're just to "wordy" for me. I also would change the Gagne one to have the letters "Sv" instead of just "S". Yes, I realize that "S" is the "official" designation in box scores for a save but I would think too many people would make a comment about a single being "S" and a save is "Sv". Maybe that's just me.

    my in-laws were to pick up my Carlos ball for me on Sunday. They couldn't make it on Saturday so our ticket rep said he'd make sure the ball was at Guest Relations on Sunday. It wasn't there. I guess I'll be contacting my rep to find out what to do next. Kind of disappointing but it's not the end of the world.
  18. pitchleague
    I've got a prescription for Clarinex and Flonase and the combo of those two work really well for me.
  19. pitchleague
    it's a pretty good idea, actually, to give some guys the day off, what with Monday off too. Might as well.
  20. pitchleague
    I find it funny that Jamie is looking for a motorcycle and has achilles problems. Wouldn't you need a strong achilles to start up a motorcycle?
  21. pitchleague
    Give me a ballpark number of how many people would want to wear that. I find it very hard to believe there are that many unless they are part of fraternity or some bar hound. I had many shirts that were "off-color" in college but I wouldn't dare wear them in public now as a grown adult.
  22. pitchleague
    quite loud on television, too, although the wmlw audio isn't the greatest. Nice win. Too bad one of our starting pitchers can't get be getting these w's.
  23. pitchleague
    well, put the seat belts on, folks. It may not be Turnbow but it is Gagne. Who knows what's going to happen? Nice homer by Prince. I couldn't believe Ned went against his "Yosted" book twice that inning: 1) No contact play on the grounder to Ramirez (although he did put it on later in the frame); and 2) used the backup catcher to Pinch-hit.
  24. pitchleague
    that's twice Braun has been jammed into little nubbers to the mound tonight. Ick.
  25. pitchleague
    yep, I've noticed. I'm fine with it. If we were swinging at all the first pitches that are "batting practice fastballs right down the middle" well, sure, we'd get our share of hits along with outs and swing and misses. But the opponents pitcher will be going into the later innings of the ball game with a pitch count of <50. We don't want that. Working the count is a selective process. I cringe when guys swing at the first pitch. To me, the proper time to do it is when a hitter is getting "rattled" (i.e. a couple of walks, hits, hard-hit balls, etc.) and he knows he needs to just throw a strike to get some confidence back. It helps that a crowd could be rattling the pitcher too. Just my opinion, though.
