World Series

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

World Series

Unread post by O Really »

I only follow baseball starting in the playoffs, but for anyone who's interested, the Giants are leading 6-zip in the 6th.

I seem to be talking to myself on this thread. But has anyone noticed the obesity trend to be encroaching on pro baseball? As in Detroit pitcher Valverde and first baseman Prince Fielder? Not to mention Giants Sandoval. Roly poly dudes.

Anybody but the Tigers. They are division rivals with my Indians.

They have had that for their road unis for several years. The original white is still worn on the home hats.

I at one time many many years ago used to do about 35-40 games per year including a few W-S games. I was at the last game in Philly before the last strike in Aug. of 94 I think it was. I sat in a season ticket box in right field and for the first and only time felt is was OK to throw all we had at Dykstra in ctr. field, he was an outspoken rep. for the Phills at the time. These guy make millions and usually end up in jail and broke and they wanted more. I have never been to a game since and rarely watch anymore. Only went to a hand full of football games since then also. Went to a football game every week for about 5 or 6 years. Sometime went on Sunday Thursday and Monday all in the same week. Real jobs would kill many of the guys.
I had a cousin who played for the WhiteSox and one playing in the Giants farm system, Top Prospect and one who has a full ride to play Baseball and Football at Ga. Tech. He gave up football and now only plays baseball. Had a rough spring last year but has bounced back well this fall.

Roly poly is in O'Really. The Giants roly poly third basemen hit three homers two of which came off the Tiger's ace Verlander.

I guess you and Michelle Obama are the only two that are watching the world series to make weight checks.

Ole Michelle should get the ole mirror out and do some checking herself. But that's typical liberal B/S do as I say not as I am entitled to do. :?

Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, Albert Pujols and now Kung Fu Panda, plus a single. Bad timing, O Really.

Venezuela rules!
None of those guys was even close to Sandoval in girth. I'm not saying he's not good, and sure, he hit three home runs in one game after hitting only 12 in the entire rest of the season. But if you're an owner, paying the guy millions, don't you think you'd make him show up in the best shape he can get? Is he really better because he's fat, like some viking opera singer, or is he still really really good in spite of being fat?

OMG, there's a guy batting for SF who is named "Angel Pagan." I wonder if he's on Billy's cult list? I'd say his future political career is pretty low unless he stays in San Francisco.
