Baseball Season - Page 2

Yeah bummer, I had you guys taking that one. Halladay didn't bring his best stuff, he's had better days.

Yeah, Sexson bats in the 4 spot, but... why??? He had 2 on and no out, swung at three pitches and missed them all, needless to say we didn't score that inning. He comes up again in the 8th inning with the bases loaded, 1 out. We are down 3-1. He works the count full at 3-2, swings, and misses at a pitch way outside that would have been ball 4 and scored us a huge run. We ended up getting the two runs anyway thanks to a hit and a wild pitch. I understand that he typically hits 30 home runs a season and drives in 100 RBIs, but that only happens once a week or so. He also let the ball go right off his glove late in the game for an error. If we're going to let him hold us back, why so high in the lineup. Put him next to Wilkerson, that way get get both of the worthless hitters in our lineup over with all in one inning.

Also, we had a new record set in the spring training league last month by a guy name Michael Morse. He broke Edgar Martinez's record for batting avg at 489. He had 2 home runs and 8 or so RBIs. He plays both 1B and the outfield. I wish I could unsterstand why he hasn't gotten even one shot yet. He plays both Sexson's and Wilkerson's position, yet we havn't replaced either one of them yet. Man.. its gunna be a stressful season.

Just got back from my first M's game of the year. Kinda lame game, but got to spend time chatting with my buddy. Was ticked off to hear JJ Putz being hurt for 15 days, but that's not the end of the world I guess. I predicted a high scoring game and two Mariner home runs. I was way off on the high scoring, but we did get two homers. Good game. Important thing is the win. Took two out of three. Gotta keep that up.

Thanks Michael..... but it was close and I thought the Jays were going to blow it as they seem to start strong and then fold in the end. So we will see.

So I take it your a yankee fan.

Wow, so do you have season tickets.? I don't get the other games unless they are playing the Jays. I guess you all have the sport's channel. Two out of three is good. Congrats.

The M's look like they are playing alright to start off with. Hopefully they can keep it together this year. I would like to see Morse in the game, as long as they don't pull Sexson to do it. Not sure why but I just like that guy. He's my favorite Mariner since Edgar left.

Absolutely, born and grew up in the Bronx just 15 minutes from Yankee Stadium. I will be sorry to see the "House That Ruth Built" close down in October.

And let us not forget the team in Queens who will debut a new stadium next year as well.

Best of luck to the Mets this year...Pedro is not off to a healthy start!

Yah Michael .... there are a lot of memories connected with that old stadium. I am sure a lot of people will be sorry to see it gone. Babe Ruth was an all time hero.
