Wow! And they get the '06 Superbowl as well!
Motor City Mania, I guess.
How's Nomar Garcia-Popup working for you?
As a life long Oakland A's fan whose parents are from Texas, I was always taught that damnedyankees is one word. It sure was come October around my house. Now my 5 yr old is learning the same thing...
If my memory serves me correctly, the Skankees were 8-11 last season prior to getting hot and winning over 100 games. I hope that does not happen this year, but its way to early to gloat.
As a long time Yankee fan, I was happy to hear a guy lead a cheer 'let's go Yankees' lots of clapping. The Baltimore fans resonded with 'Yankees suck' - they were right.
Yep. If Jack Clark hadn't dropped a foul pop-up that would have been the 3rd out of the inning, the Denkinger play never would have happened.
Hillary Rodham = Hilrod?
IIRC, you have to give the secret hand shake...
The secret code is: all your base are belong to us.
Genuflect before the Viking Kitties.
Actually, I got on two ping lists by saying "pretty please" to MeekOneGOP and "cuz" of Survivor fame.
That's good. If us taxpayers are putting in $50 million for Comerica Park, we should get some big events there once in awhile........
A-Rod was Mr. July/August while playing for the Rangers. By that time, the Rangers were 30 games behind the league leaders. During April and May, when the games really mattered, his average with runners in scoring position was right around the Mendoza line. Looks like he's not doing much better in NYC (can I hear an "awwwwwwwwwwwww"?).
I bet he's to blame for those $8.50 hot dogs, too! Hicks has to cover the $6.5M in "sunk costs" for shipping A-Rod to the Yankees.
I'll probably go to a game or two this year. We'll get there early so we can eat at Friday's, so I won't have to take out a home equity loan for the concessions.
Hillary Rodham = Hilrod?
Yes, the Curse of the Hilrod!
Since her election by the people of New York, they've been defeated in the playoffs four consecutive years. Which is not bad, but the fact that they had a collective $300 Million payoll advantage over the teams that knocked them out is astounding.
Perhaps President Reagan should never have pardoned Big Stein. He would still be banned from the game.
BTW, 11 - 5 BoSox favor.
Cards fans still have not gotten over that call. They tend to forget it happened in game 6. St Louis could still have won it.They lost game 7 by the score of 11 to 0. After seeing the replay of that call maybe 700 times I still can't tell if he was right or not.
I'm going to the game tonight. We're playing Cleveland.
"Yes, the Curse of the Hilrod!"
LoL! I like it. :)
LOL!
Didn't Clark drop the ball partly because he was still fuming about the blown call?
You're getting the Super Bowl next year for the same reason.
Schilling looks like he still needs some more innings to get into shape. Manny's dropped balls didn't help either although I guess he more than made up for them with his two homers.
