I'm hoping for a good World Series but I have one request: no more boneheaded umpiring calls involving A. J. Pierzynski!

I saw Cedeno (I did not shoot the woman) catch a ball at the warning track in center field and throw the ball in the third base stands at the Dome. Always loved him, made some great plays, but what an arm......

God bless J.R Richard. I heard he had some tough times after his stroke. Any news on how he is now?

Can you sue a team over emotional distress?????

If we can I'll be rich after what my beloved Royals did this year.

I worked outside until late last night and forgot all about the game. Finally hit the sack about 945.

...What made me most pleased this year is that the Hillary Curse continues.

The Hillary ‘curse’…

Oct 2000 -- Yanks beat Mets in World Series
Nov 2000 -- ‘#1’ Yankee Fan’, Hillary Rodham Clinton elected (Sen – D-NY)


Nov 2001 -- Yanks lose to Diamondbacks in WS delayed by 9/11
Oct 2002 -- Yanks don't even make it to WS; Angels beat Giants
Oct 2003 -- Yanks lose to Marlins in WS
Oct 2004 -- Yanks severely choke - Yanks lose last 4 games of ALCS; Sox go on to sweep Cards in WS
Oct 2005 -- Yanks lose in 1st round playoffs....YES!!!!!

......"hate whats happened to Houston"....."moving to Florida...." Whats happened to Houston is also happening to Florida. You're jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

I know folks think that, but I am moving to horse country, Marion County. Bought myself 6.5 acres in heaven out in the middle of nowhere-2 miles from any main roads. I'll be just fine. Also noticed not many mexicans or haitians there in Marion County! Too expensive of an area for them;)

Go Astros!

We live around Baton Rouge, and when I was a kid, my family drove over to Houston to see an Astros game in the dome.

The main thing I remember is that I thought everybody was booing this guy coming out on the field, but they were saying "Cruuuuuuuuuuz"!

Major League Baseball's worst nightmare:

A World Series that nobody on either coast could give a flip about!

I love it. This match up is almost as good as a Cubs - Red Sox match up would have been before last year.

These guys definitely need to play a "retro" game so they can show off their snazzy uniforms.
