Alright, so I got picked to buy ALCS tickets if the Twins make it, so just want to verify this again. If the Twins have a worse record than the AL East winner, the only way they would have home field in the ALCS is if they play the Rangers, correct?
-
I doubt he'd strike out that many as a starter.
-
As a reliever, of course. Nasty. Hard throwers like Chapman are fun, but Marmol is still my favorite pitcher to watch.
-
That's what I thought, thanks. It sucks, because I'll have to skip five classes (have a ton of Thursday classes) to see the Twins in the playoffs. Worth it, though!
-
So, I won the chance to be able to purchase Twins playoff tickets directly from the team rather than from Stubhub (saving me a ton of money) but before I buy on Monday, I need to know when they play their homes games. If I'm not mistaken, won't they open at home no matter what? If they have the best record, they'll get home field advantage; if they get second best, they'll still have home field against the AL Wild Card, and the same if they have the 3rd best record. Just want to make sure before I buy.

Don't know how much you guys care about Independent baseball, but I'm going to college in Fargo now, and the Fargo Moorhead Redhawks play right across the street from my dorm. I didn't think I would be into independent league baseball, but after going to a game I realized I loved it. They made the playoffs and swept both rounds to repeat as champions! It was way different from MLB, obviously. There were only 2400 fans at the park (capacity is around 4000, but it was a crappy night) but the winning was just like MLB, where the pitcher throws his arms up after getting the last out and everyone runs out of the dugout to form a dogpile. They had the champagne brought out onto the field, and they even let the fans go onto the field! I was able to get my picture taken with a couple of the players and manager. Don't know if anyone cares, but I thought it was a pretty cool experience.

And the call really only survived because a Dodgers fan recorded it off the radio because he wanted to hear the Giants announcer "cry". Seriously? Not sure if this is a joke or not. It's not a joke. From the Russ Hodges wikipedia article... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Hodges The most famous sports call in history survived because of Schadenfreude on behalf of a Dodgers fan. Wow, never heard about that, that's pretty neat.

Didn't see it in the retirement thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4nAvfPHS88 Gave me goosebumps.

I love how they had his pitching stats.

BNightengale: #mlb #cubs Cubs originally asked for Dodgers pitcher John Ely to be included in deal.
-
Sems it's Brett Wallach, not Walch.

TBrownYahoo: Dodgers get Lilly and Theriot for DeWitt, two minor-league pitchers and $2.5 million

Yep, longest current and longest in history at 44 years, 321 days as of today. Second longest was the Yankees at 44 years, 263 days that ended in 2003. The Cubs were no-hit twice in two weeks in 1965, the latter of which was on September 9, 1965 by Sandy Koufax, and haven't been no-hit since. I'll take that over winning the World Series.

NO HITTER! Sorry, any no hitter is exciting.

One out away

NL WINS! Byrd would be the MVP if it weren't for Brian McCann.
