I think it was less than a week ago that I was busted for never having seen the "You're killing me, Smalls" movie. Hard crowd, tough week.

Tough few weeks. Ya get what ya earn.

Talking about the team, not you.

Hahahaha. I thought you meant me. But I could not reasonably deny it! I can't claim to have earned a lot. Just watching our guys and trying to learn.

At least we got the 40th win today and don't have to worry about being the team that didn't hit that mark this week on the road. I'm looking forward to it and to Hoover. But -- for whatever reason -- I am really looking forward to the NCAA tournament. Could be a few surprises to the upside?

40 ain’t nothing to sneeze at, all but 1 loss to SEC teams. Attitude last couple weeks shifted, this weekend is a thing! Fired up for it!!! If their eyes aren’t open yet, yeah, that’s gonna happen. For better or worse. Here for it!

GBO!!!

Two years in a row the Dodgers pitching staff has been snake bitten. Sasaki joins the other 8 on IL...good grief.

@CobbWebb71 Kershaw makes his season debut Saturday vs the Angels.....hope he has some left in the tank we're going need him..

Wow. Unfortunate. Beisbol shall not be mocked. It has a way of leveling the field.

Here’s a trivia question for you guys. What peculiarity do the World Series of 1903,1919, 1920, and 1921 have in common?

They were all over 100 years ago

Seriously, I don’t know. What’s the answer?

I know the Black Sox lost to the Reds in a series that was “unusual” for more than just the betting allegations.

I am guessing the other years must have had a similar series.

They played a 5 of 9 games format.

I don’t remember it, either.

Again, the convo was about Rose. I’ve pointed out my opinion of why Rose should never sniff the HOF. Other players have nothing to do with the decision on Rose. It’s irrelevant

It’s perfectly relevant whenever an active HOF member is on the ineligible list. You don’t just get thrown onto that list for no reason and yet the committee chose to keep him in the Hall. It will be very hypocritical of them to do that for one player but continue to keep the all-time hit king out.

I remembered a few of the series were a best of 9 format but couldn’t recall all of the years. Great trivia question.

Dodgers have more money sitting on IL than the Marlins entire payroll.

If we can hold the Hawaiian brother's bats in check, we'll come out on top.

 

[VolPack22]

@CobbWebb71 it looks like the Braves might have found another Contreras behind the plate. This Drake Baldwin kid can rake. Braves will probably trade Murphy after the season if he hits like this the entire season.

 

[VolPack22]

Braves are back to .500 since they were 0-0 to start the season. They are just the fifth team ever to reach .500 at any point the rest of the season after starting that season 0-7. They have done it in close to record time. The fastest to ever do it was the 1945 Red Sox in 38 games. The Braves are 2nd fastest, doing so in 42 games. They now own the 2nd best NL record since they got their first win on April 4th.

Thanks. I remember those best of nine formats, but I didn’t know that was the connecting element in your question. Here’s a plaque commemorating the 1903 World Series

I don’t care about other players. I do care about keeping a morally bankrupt pedophile out of the HOF.

So freaking what? You're such a hater, I've never seen or heard the likes of a person.

 

[VolPack22]

Pete Rose was never convicted of that and stated he was with that person whenever they were within Ohio’s age of consent at that time so I think you should just move on from that argument. He was convicted of tax fraud and bet on baseball. If you want to talk about those issues that he was actually found guilty of then by all means complain about that as much as your heart desires. But I think it’s hilarious you continue to bring up that thing with Rose but Alomar is found to sexually harass someone by MLB’s investigation, loses his job with the Blue Jays, and put on the ineligible list and yet you want to talk about morals. This is the baseball HOF, not whether someone should be allowed to walk through the pearly gates.

Never again… worst sunburn ever…

The pain of 40 hells on the top of my feet!

Weekends...Monday’s...Wednesday’s...Thursdays...

I remember growing up, my dad worked 2 jobs and yet never missed a football game, a baseball practice, never once.
I know the man was worn out but every time I looked to the stands or the sidelines, he was there cheering me on.
I never forgot that and I never will.

Don't believe I'm crying a river, I just made a comment about a team I follow just like you of your beloved Braves. Then you always come through with a snarky ass comment totally uncalled for. I don't say nothing derogatory about Atlanta but maybe I should start...
