I've already raw dogged it with a South African. I thought she was English.

KC's SP with the most win this year is Bruce Chen, 11-7, 4.45 ERA. I didn't even realize he was still playing baseball, much less in the majors with a winning record on a horrible team and a decent ERA.

The Cincinnati Health Department will conduct an inspection of the Great American Ball Park and the Reds' clubhouse after at least five people called a state hotline, complaining that when Reds players lighted up celebratory cigars after they clinched the NL Central, they violated Ohio's smoking ban.

Department spokesman Rocky Merz said Friday that state law requires such an inspection after five complaints about the indoor smoking were phoned in.

must not be much to do in ohio

They should close that park down, forcing the Reds to play their NLDS games on the road.

holy $#@! donkey dick

75 HRs to LF, 33 CF. None what so $#@! ever to RF. NONE. Career .581 OPS the other way.

He finally went yard to RF last night. Barely hit it out up in Minnesota.

I think that's rather a savvy response from usually-sportsmanlike Cardinals fans...

The Marlins' home attendance totaled 1.54 million. They finished last in the NL for the sixth year in a row, and third-worst in the majors. The season total included 10,332 tickets for the perfect game Philadelphia's Roy Halladay pitched against the Marlins sold as souvenirs afterward.

Are the Dodgers and Angels picks protected?

by **BigEd76** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 19:56:49

Probably not. I don't think the protection extends because of extra comp picks...

Wow....the story of how stirrups came to be is quite amazing.

And I highly recommend this book for your throne room.

Found this old video of a Cardinals fan saying he was glad they didn't get Oswalt. Good call DUMBASS.

Funny article that bashes every team (we don't get it that bad, he just makes fun of the name of the team and female fans).

But this snippet was funny:

had a friend that worked in the hotel industry (he worked the front desk) around the time Nolan Ryan was putting a Double A team in our city.

The hotel where he was a frequent guest always bent over backwards for Nolan Ryan because let's face it, Corpus Christi is awful and we don't get any real celebrities (we're known for Selena and that's about it). One day my friend decided to pretend like he had no idea who Nolan Ryan was. Mr. Ryan checked in and this is what the conversation sounded like:

Nolan Ryan: I'm here to check in.

Front Desk: Your name sir?

Nolan Ryan: *getting pissed* Nolan Ryan!?

Front Desk: Which one is the last name sir?

Nolan Ryan: *enraged* RYAN!! NOLAN RYAN!!!

Front Desk: Thank you sir, and what are you in town for?

Nolan Ryan: I'M NOLAN GODDAMN RYAN SON, NOLAN RYAN!!

Front Desk: From the Dairy Queen commercials??

The first two words on the Braves are what we often say about them.
