Playoff Chase Watching Thread 8/27

Yay for BASEBALL! PLAYOFF CHASE BASEBALL!

 

You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.  ~Jim Bouton, Ball Four, 1970<!--CB, CMGB-->


If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.  ~Dave Barry


People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.  I'll tell you what I do.  I stare out the window and wait for spring.  ~Rogers Hornsby


Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.  ~Ted Williams<!--CB-->


I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile.  ~Tom Clark

Aflac Trivia Question:

Who was the last White Sox player to steal home?

by oc on Aug 27, 2009 7:28 PM CDT reply actions  

The biggest thief in Chi town

was Albert Belle. “You will pay me like I am the best player in the league bitches”, corked bats be damned.

Keepin it Classy Gentlemen

There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

Yeah

but I thought that Ervin would stay wild.

Forgot Hairston’s a pretty free swinger.

They showed Ziegler warming up in the Oakland 'pen

Bit of a quick hook, huh?
Only 86 pitches and Cahill’s only allowed four baserunners – two since the first inning.

Grew up just outside...

the Bay and was actually an A’s fan when I was a kid. They traded my favorite player (Canseco) and I hated them for it. Of course it turned out for the better, as that’s how I became a Rangers fan.

After that I would see all my Rangers games at the Coliseum and had to deal with my fellow rowdy Raider fans at the games. Growing up it seemed like they always found a way to come back and beat the Rangers in the games I was at. I just hate them.

NERD ALERT!

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
