Today is the opening day of Baseball season, who is your favorite team.
Looks like deGrom is going to be a bust from the Rangers.
What else is new?
1968 Detroit Tigers
“Sock It to ‘Em Tigers!!”
My Boyhood heros.
“Chuck Dobson Goes for No. 12 Today.”
14 Sept 1968
Can talk ‘68 Tigers all day... Worshipped that season...
No Mets fans? Where did you go wrong?
Dang Rangers came back, 11-7 Texas in the 8th.
Just first game. We can’t beat the Rangers for some reason. Braves and Mets Aces both hurt on the same day.
Verlander hurt already.
My Grandmother was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan way back when. But, no Mets fans in the family. haha
Strange. DeGrom gives up 5 runs in 3.2 innings, but got 7 strikeouts.
Also, when was the last opening day where the Giants played the Yankees? Late 50s?
______________________________________________________________
The only opening day that the Giants would play the Yankees in the 50’s would be game 1 of the World Series.
If you have 6 divisions of 5 teams each, you need at least one interleague series going on at any one time.
For instance, the west plays the east for 6 series - odd team out plays in the opposite league for a series. The circuit is complete.
Two circuits of the league would be 18 series x 2 = 36
Plus 2 more circuits of the division = 12
One more team in the same league, opposite division = 1
That leaves two series left over. They do an extra series with the “rival” in the opposite league - they could make it two.
That’s not how they do the schedule but I’ve kicked the idea around.
Mine was Roger Metzger and my sister’s was Bob Watson.
Rangers scored 16 today, that’s 27 runs in 2 games against the defending NL Champs.
Houston may have some competition in the West from their In-State Buddies.
Yes sir, love that Bochy Ball.
Did you see the ending of the O’s-Red Sox game yesterday?
If the O’s miss the playoffs by a game......hooo boy.
Wouldn’t be the first time
