And you saw them all in person? :blink:

I missed the 5-1 game due to a previous commitment but yeah I saw them in person.  My seats are in the shade.

But I have attended every home regional/Super Regional since 1989 and temps like that are not uncommon.  It is Texas in June.

Valmy, I never knew.

Eh nobody else was using the baseball thread.  :P

Though it is picking up lately.   And the Orioles have a good chance of finishing 0.500 this year.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is history in the making:

QuoteHOUSTON -- Pinch-hitter Xavier Paul doubled, then stayed in the game and hit a two-run homer and single Wednesday night as the Pittsburgh Pirates moved over .500 with a 7-3 win over the Houston Astros.

At 34-33, this is the first time the Pirates have been over the break-even point so late in a season since Aug. 15, 1999, when they were 59-58.

Neil Walker tripled and drove in three runs for the Pirates.

This is awesome.  I wish I could buy a Major League team on credit and then take all its money for my personal life style:

As some of you have probably been distressed to know, Lenny Dykstra is in jail atm. But now you can help get him out of jail with your paypal account!

Apparently he only needs a modest donation of $40-50k in order to go free.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

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.

Jeter comes back, the Yankees lose.  Coincidence?  Go Tribe!
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

This Dodgers business is sad... McCourt was clearly looking for a 'trophy' team when he was first casting about to spend his real estate money... it would be nice if people who genuinely liked a sport were to own the teams.
