the "baseball only" thread

Why thank you, kind sir, and you repeat yourself when you talk about the Dodgers chances😀 😛

Here's something I said before but was deleted in the pruning:

Eric Gagne holds the record for most consecutive saves without a blown save, 84. (2002 to 2004, including a perfect year in 2003 with 55 saves and no blown saves, also a record.)

I think this record is like Joe DiMaggio's streak of getting a hit in 56 consecutive games. It will last for many decades. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

I have to disagree with that stat, simply because he blew one in the All-Star game, and that game counted😀

 

[milagros317]

Disagree all you want, it is a official MLB statistic, and according to MLB what happens in the All-Star game has no effect on streaks. 😀

enough with jason giambi. He should just admit more to what he did with the scandal

 

[milagros317]

I don't care about Jason Giambi. 😀

 

[USATKLR]

neither dio i or about canseco anymore either

Just two old timers looking to get some press time

 

[milagros317]

Shawn Green, then of the Dodgers, has the record for most total bases in a game, with 19. (4 HR's, 1 double, 1 single)

The Red Sox will have a great season this year.😀

 

[milagros317]

You Red Sox fans have a new optimism. 😛

 

[K-Skate417]

I have watched my Red Sox DVDs many times to relive the 2004 World Series over and over again.😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I have watched my videotapes of the 1988 NLCS and World Series many times also. 😛

Well, as most of us know, Spring Training has now started, with the first exhibition games set for this week. I read a legitimate AOL article that said John Smoltz is expected to start for the Braves on opening day, and that Tim Hudson is okay with it. This team certainly knows how to patch holes, as they have a former Cy Young Award winner who became one of baseball's top bullpen closers, starting for them on opening day after a four year absence from the rotation. For us Braves fans, let's hope that it adds up to division title number 14 in a row come October.
Oh, and Ashley, Iam touched that you posted a comment in favor of my Braves. Thank you.😀

What I have to say about the upcoming season:

 

[K-Skate417]

I hope for all yankees players to be injured.😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

The Dodgers won their first Spring Training game today, 4-2, over the Marlins. 😀

Baseball season is only 19 short days away, and by the time it begins, I will have my digital cable package, complete with 500 channels, and be able to watch baseball games from all over the country. WOO HOOOOOO! BRING IT ON! YAH FOR BASEBALL SEASON!!!😀 😉 🙂 😎 🙄

[milagros317]

The Dodgers came from behind to beat the Orioles today, 7-5. 😀

 

[natural tickler]

The Cubs had today off, while Kerry Wood threw off the mound with no pain, and Mark Prior threw as well, had a little pain, but felt better than he did a few days ago. It seems like both will be ready when the season starts😀

 

[milagros317]

The hated jints lost to the Mariners today, 4-1. Too bad they didn't all get injured, too. 😛

 

[natural tickler]

I hate the Cardinals just as much as you hate the jints, but wishing injury on people is not sportsmanlike. Besides, you'll more pleasure beating a fully healthy team, than an injured one

 

[milagros317]

When it comes to the hated jints, I admit to having unsportsmanlike feelings. 😀

 

[ticklingfeet4fu]

The New York Mets got some bad news about Steve Trachsel today. So now they have to replace a guy who has won consistantly over the last 4 years for some really bad teams. Trachsel gave them an average of 13 wins and over 200 innings. How do you replace that?

 

[milagros317]

I keep hoping that the Dodgers have no more injuries this spring. 😀

 

[ticklingfeet4fu]

Now you know why spring training means nothing to me. Health is more important than the games itself. My regular season is now in trouble because we lost a guy who goes deep into games. And with our bullpen well we went from an 88 win team to about an 80 win team.🙁
