redrum Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I remember that Latin temper. Giants pitcher Juan Marichal attempts to club Dodgers catcher Johnny Roseboro with bat during a 1965 Dodgers-Giants game.

zepscoda Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Very cool ballpark... Being indoors took me a while to get use to, but still a lot of fun. Tons of other Rangers fans there. Found a couple of nice bars across the street to keep the beers flowing. Chris, I don't recommend The ClubQuarters Hotel...it's small, and not very user friendly.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 What a sweet win in Anaheim last night. I know Scocia is fit to be tied with the umps. Arguing balls and strikes with his playes he is lucky to not have been tossed. I do agree that one of them was legit. But they called some on us and nobody said a word. The umps have been a joke in that series. Wieters HR was a real shot in the arm for me and the O's. I was wondering how the hell a guy with an 8 plus era, Shoemaker, was killing one of the best lineups in the game on sinkers. Matt finally got them but it was not Shomaker, who I do feel for. They gave him no suppot but that is because Gausman who has s been great for us also has had no support for his reccord. Oriolds have the best record in the AL. Shocker lately are Tampa. All of a sudden they are hitting. Except for right now as the Tigers have jumped on them early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Well King, I see those Diamondbacks are giving your boys hell. 5-0 Arizona. Orioles coming to bat. I expect alot of runs today in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 zepscoda, that's where we sat for the Home Run Derby in 2004. It's a fun stadium!! Ballparks I've been to: I started doing this sometime in the late 70's. I've been to every park that was open at that time, except for Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta (we have been to Turner Field). Since so many new parks have been built since then, we now need to hit 4 more to be done with all of the current parks: Busch 3, Petco, Miami (I did do a tour, but it doesn't count until I've seen a game there) and a return to Kansas City (it's not new since we've been, but it's been extensively remodeled). Don't think we'll get to a new park this summer, but we will see a game in Oakland in July, and New York in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Jiminez SUCKS. I DO NOT KNOW why Buck leaves his ass in? I want to get rid of his sorry ass. Thank God Houston is up next. Anything can happen but 6-0 is not good. First time this year I remember an inning this bad. This guy must be let go. I have seen enough of him.

Yet I still, and always will, have Faith that They will not let me down. They still have a very good chance of a Wild card and that is good enough. I do not think they can beat the Cubs for the division. Not unless the Cubs have more terrible injuries to key players. And I am sure you do not want to win that way. This is the Cubs year in the NL. I can see it and feel it. Their coach is very good. They have the talent. I am waiting for the Dodgers to wake up. I expect a big push from them in second half. As for my team, I am pretty happy except we need Hardy back and we need to get rid of Jiminez. They are calling for his head in most Orioles networks I have seen. I want him gone. He sucks. I would rather give Bundy a shot to start, and they have the two young kids that are doing fine. Guasman and Tillman are both reliable starters and Gallardo will be back by next week latest. Our bats can carry us a long way. At this moment we have the best record in the AL. Only the Cubs have a better record over all I want to add, if anyone is voting like me for the all star game, I hope you are all being fair? I am voting for guys I think deserve it. There are a couple of positions that I have voted for more than one player on different days. Ortiz is obvious at DH as its his last year and he is playing great Machado leads the league in most categories and should be the leading vote getter with Ortiz I like this kid from the White Sox and he should be in Eaton (OF) Cubs, Fowler, Rizzo and Bryant. Stanton even though in a slump from fish. I used STory once as he has the numbers Back to AL. Trumbo has my vote and Trout also. I am going to give Adam Jones and Hardy a few even though injuries may hold them out. Wieters is my choice at catcher ALL DAY. He is on fire and I say he has the best arm of any catcher in the AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The Cardinals beat the Cubbies in the bottom of the 9th inning. A walk off home run for Randal Grichuk. His first as a Cardinal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be another to add to my list. ..I'll be up in the DC / Maryland area several times this summer. We should meet up at a Nationals game!
