Dodger Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've missed watching baseball, the offseason is way too long for me. My team will start the regular season in Baltimore and I'm looking forward to the warm summer evenings and a few visits to the Rogers Centre. Have I given you enough clues for you to figure out my team? 3 Link to comment

Timothy M. Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've been watching a few spring training games on MLB TV. I look forward to the start of the season. 2 Link to comment

Daddydavek Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Opening day at last! It's almost a legal holiday here in St. Loo and there are all kinds of activities planned today and early this evening as the game doesn't start until 7:30 pm local time. 2 Link to comment

Yeah, I wish your team well my friend, except when they play the Jays of course! I know exactly what you mean, though because baseball is so much more than just baseball although that probably won't make much sense to anyone outside of North America. 2 Link to comment

Yeah, my Cards can't seem to get it together either....Thank heavens it's a long season and there is still time for them to straighten out and get back to winning ways! 1 Link to comment

Lots of changes in the off-season as I recall. They'll get their groove soon, things are still being worked into place. Our jays won't let us down, it'll be another good year to be a Blue Jay's fan. 2 Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 As we approach the All Star break in a season that has seen it's share of disappointment, I submit the following hommage to Major League Baseball John Fogarty Centerfield (With video of some of the legends!) 3 Link to comment
Carlos Hazday Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 @Daddydavek That emoji REALLY represents how I feel right now. The song is awesome and the video brought back some great history to mind. Thanks, Dave. 2 Link to comment
Former Member Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I'm no longer a fan, but I so remember being a young girl and going to Three Rivers Stadium to see the Pirates. I'd save Town Talk bread bags, and if I recall correctly, with five of them you could get in to see a game. (I bet my youngest would be too mortified and embarrassed to do that.) I was too young to take the bus downtown by myself, so my older brother would take me to the games. lol. As a young girl, it was truly exciting to watch the men who are now legends play ball. I had such a crush on 3rd baseman Richie Hebner. What a goofball I was. Willie Stargell was a down to earth gentleman, nothing like the ball players of today. On occasion you would find him mingling with the kids at our local playground. I can still remember sitting on my bed balling my eyes out when they announced Roberto Clemente's tragic death. This song represents a time when baseball really was the American pastime. A time when my dad and others his age would sit listening to the games on the radio. Sitting on the front porch they would discuss with gusto, the play by play action. lol Edited July 7, 2017 by Former Member Link to comment

Dodger Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Love the video. There's so much going on it that you have to watch it a few times. A lot of passion and some amazing plays. Thanks 2 Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 As we near the end of August, I see two teams that have really done well despite all the things that happen over a long season. The National League's LA Dodgers have been phenomenal as have the American League's Houston Astros. I know under the expanded playoff structure these two teams have somewhat less of a chance to advance to the World Series, and if that happens, it will be sad. With a little more than a month to go in the 2017 season, the Dodgers already have 91 wins with a 13.5 lead over the Washington Nationals and the Astros have78 wins with a 5 game lead over the Boston Red Sox. While I wish my Cards were doing better in the least competitive division in baseball, I cannot help but appreciate the talent I've seen on the Dodgers and the Astros. Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Well the divisional playoffs are well in hand with the Dodgers, Houston and Cleveland all within one game of clinching a spot in the League Championships series. Only the Cubs and Nationals are making a series of it with each having one game in the best of five series. Today the Houston Astros face the Boston Red Sox in the afternoon game and could clinch. Likewise, the evening game features the Cleveland Indians against the Yankees and again Cleveland could clinch with a win. The way Girardi is coaching and then defending his ineptitude, hopefully the Indians can put him and the Yankees out of their misery. I've said since August that I fully expect the Astros to face the Dodgers in the World Series. We shall see. I love October baseball! Link to comment
