    Theriot should have taken one for the team there. It was a freeby.
  2. BigbadB
    excellent call. Nice play by Lilly. Even had the notion to swipe a tag in case the guy was running across the bag.

    He looks like a #1 out there today. I haven't really seen him pitch all that much during his career, but I like what I see.
  4. BigbadB
    2 runs could be enough on a day like today. Especially if Lilly can make it to the 7th or later and keep dealing that nasty breaking ball.
  5. BigbadB
    Lilly's breaking ball is a thing of beauty today.

    I miss going to Chicago. But, I love it here in San Diego. As long as I can still see games somehow, I'll survive. :D

    Week 1

    BigbadB replied to Tim's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I'm thrilled with my pitching. 3 starts so far, 22 innings, 3 quality starts, 7 ER, 16 K's. 1.00 WHIP I'll take that every week, please!

    Murton looked horrible in game 1. I'm fine with the extra lefty bat in the line up today. Definitely rather see Jones hitting 2nd rather than Izturis. But, I'd also rather have Theriot in the 2 spot.

    He'll eventually cool off. No way he hits over .750 all season. Maybe .700, but no way he hits .750.

    Cleveland might just have the best offense in baseball. Glad they are in the AL.

    I'll be the first to admit I don't know the specifics of this and am getting my info from a cards forum...but seriously...you must work for DirecTV...you've been their #1 spokesperson on this board for every issue since day one. As I said...I don't know the specifics...but if DirecTV is making them pay for MLB EI to get something that would otherwise be free on the local Fox station...I think that is crap. He convinced me. I don't even have DirecTV, but I'm sending them monthly payments simply because of their greatness.

    Wow.

    I'm watching LAD vs. Mil on my laptop and Sea vs. Oak on my desktop. I didn't know I could launch MLB.TV on all of my computers. Pong has become quite annoying, and I've only had MLB.TV for 2 days. The deer commercial that starts up each time I switch games is even more annoying. Oh how I long to hear that annoying and repetitive music MLB EI plays between innings, and before and after games.

    One thing at a time, here. Baby steps. Let's get these things back down to a buck/buck fifty. In the meantime, you can't still smother 'em in sauerkraut.

    Nope. I'm not bitter at all. Life's been very fair to me, outside of a Chicago Cub World Series anyway. But, thanks for caring. \:D/ Think how I feel about the unfairness of the Cub drought, I've been going to games since the 50's and had season tckets since 1983!! That's one heck of a lot of losing. LOL!! If it makes you feel any better, I can afford the season tickets right next to you. Let me know if they ever become available. :D I didn't make my argument very well, so I have no issue losing and bowing out of this battle. Heck, my issues at a ballpark aren't even the ticket prices. It's the price of a damn hot dog, which is a stadium issue. :D

    Now you're putting words in my mouth that I never said. I really shouldn't have bothered to jump into this discussion. Yes, I can get into a game as cheaply as $5.00. Yes, I can eat and drink before the game. In that aspect, it's pretty cheap to go to a game. When I go to a game, I do it up right. I can afford it when I do it. Here's to Bud Selig making twice as much next year as he made this year.
  18. BigbadB
    And whose fault is that, exactly? Obviously, Bud Selig's. No reason to be a smart aleck about it. It's posts like this that ruin the discussion. I'm done with it.
  19. BigbadB
    First of all, I said nearly. Secondly, every time I go to a game with my family, that's how much it costs. Here is a breakdown: $40.00 a seat x 4= $160. $20.00 to park Now we are in the stadium and haven't bought a thing to eat or drink. A hot dog is $5.00 at Petco. So are drinks, peanuts and anything else you want to eat or drink at the game. Multiply that times 4. It's pretty easy to spend that, actually.
  20. BigbadB
    It's just another big corporation sticking it to the man. If you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you. Many, if not most, of those fans are in debt up to their eyeballs. They bought their tickets with credit cards that are maxed out, they pulled up to their parking spot that they are making monster monthly payments to drive, and their jobs don't pay enough to cover all that debt, so the debt keeps going up. It's great that YOU can afford to go to a game with your bottle of water and your bag of peanuts and sit in the nosebleed section. A very large percentage of America still cannot afford to take their family to a game, and that percentage is climbing everyday.
  21. BigbadB
    We probably shouldn't complain about gas prices either. Afterall, it's not criminal for a company to make money off their product.
  22. BigbadB
    You don't see a problem when it costs nearly $300.00 for a middle income family of 4 to go to a single baseball game (done the right way, of course)? To each their own, I suppose.
  23. BigbadB
    Haha! Good question.

    While he did hustle nicely on the steal, he didn't even attempt to slide at home and was tagged out easily. In the 4th inning, Bonds let up on an easy fly ball, electing to catch it on the first bounce. A run ended up scoring.
  25. BigbadB
    This season? Bonds hasn't had the 159+ hits necessary for 3000 in a season since 1998 Yeah, I expect to see Bonds walk rate elevate even more as he gets closer to the HR record. No pitcher will want to be "that" guy that gives up the magic HR. I'll bet he doesn't break that record this year.
