There are about 20 people at the Mets-Cardinals game right now, and by the sound of it they're all Cardinals fans :D

God the Cubs suck this year :cry:

Here's a book to cheer you up:

Very entertaining read, adding a few trivia stories of the time (like the story of a serial killer near Chicago that gripped public attention back then).

:thumbsup: Awesome. I'll have to check that out.

I almost wish I followed baseball so I could troll Katmai whenever the Cards or Braves beat the Giants.  :P

The Cubs' offense this year comes in spurts - when they win a game, it's by several runs, and yet we can't manufacture the runs when it comes to more important games.

You NEED Uverse or Grande.  Right now, they're showing Horns regular season baseball in glorious HD.  It's a replay, of course, but still.  Yesterday (or Thursday, since its 120), I watched The Major, Ricky, Dusty Renfro (remember him?), and Casey Hampton kick Nebraska's ass.

It's just beautiful.  Eric Crouch was a poon.

I got tickets for tomorrow night's Reds-Pirates game, so I suppose I'll appoint myself as Syt's official envoy to the game and root for the Pirates.

I sure know my family ain't rooting for them. <_<

They're just indifferent. They prefer football.

A friend of mine from Western PA pretty much told me the same thing Saturday.  Too bad-- they have a nice stadium & rich history.   Whatever happens later in the season, they're doing well now so people ought to support them.

As soon as I can my friend as soon as I can.  I guess I will check to see if either are available in my area now.

The people in PA loved them in the 70s through the early 90s, I am sure they will come around. They have just gotten used to ignoring the Pirates.
