This year, the competitive team I will root for will be: the LA Dodgers.  What about you?

Cubs.  Always Cubs.  Never glory. :(

In the Ken Burn's documentary "Baseball" he interviews George Will.  Will said that where he grew up in Illinois the population is split between Cubs and Cardinals fans.  All his childhood friends were Cardinals fans and grew up to be happy and liberal.  He was a Cubs fan and grew up to be bitter and conservative.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I suggest finding a different team :contract:

There is plenty of space on the Oriole bandwagon!

I can't. :(  If I had to pick a second team it'd be Seattle, but...meh.  It just doesn't feel the same.

Grandslam followed by another homer by the Buccos at Cincinatti in the 9th. :lol: Score: 10-1 top of the 9th.

EDIT: And they finish with a double play at 10-2. ^_^

A Nursing Home softball team could beat the Reds.

Yes, the Pirates.  :blush:

Harry Kalas & Mark "the Bird" Fidrych both died today.  :cry:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'll say this for Cincinnati, though.  Even at their most apathetic, people still know their team & the game.  It's not as much a baseball city as, oh, St. Louis, but it is one of the few places you'll see large numbers of women not only voluntarily attend, but even go to the trouble of keeping score.  Last 3 or 4 games I've been to, there's been a chick in the row in front of me keeping score on the score card.  Never saw that anywhere else, not even St. Louis, come to think of it.

You have to be rabid for the Reds, because the bengals suck so much.

Hey Sweetass!

Was you still looking for Stat baseball games? Lance Haffner is still kicking after all these years.
