Not bad at all ^_^ They pretty much started out with that score and then managed to maintain it all the way through, so the end of the game was pretty uneventful =P

Anyways i think the Marlins along w/every other sports team in florida should leave. D rays, Heat(watch when Shaq leaves the fans go with him).

Even the dolphins Blackout games because they don't sellout. The Marlins do well with fans when it comes to tv ratings. The Fish are 15th or so in that department every season. The fans just don't want to go to the games. I think the new stadium will ease that problem, especially with the roof.

They (LAA) won that game on an error. Both teams played poorly. The Sox had something going a few times, but no such luck. At least the fireworks after the game were good.

S.S. · 09-16-2007, 07:51 PM

*shudders at thought of the Angels dumb name* Seriously, who decided to change it to LAA? >_<

And iono, they woulda been tied even without that error, so the game woulda dragged on and nobody woulda scored for a REALLY long time...and once they did it woulda prolly been the Angels anyway cuz, while both teams played poorly, the Sox played poorlyer (it's a word now xD)

I miss the simple California Angels name. It was simple. The Angels are NOT in LA, but the market there is larger and that is was drove the name change.

However, with Thome's 500th blast coming today, I am kicking myself for staying home and working on the house this afternoon. Why couldn't he have hit it yesterday?!?!?!!

Only way the Marlins will get a new Stadium is if the fans show up to their current one, TV ratings suggest that they do something, because with what you said there are fans they're just either too lazy/too busy to go to the game. I agree a new stadium w/retractable roof like how the Diamondbacks have would benefit them in the long run its just about financing it. Also with how small their payroll is they play very well, having the 2nd lowest payroll in baseball.

Here's some interesting information for you guys on the payrolls of your team. http://blog.sportscolumn.com/story/2007/4/9/1367/60158

I agree with S.S. and you also Dakuda the Angels should have left it with either California Angels or the Anaheim Angels, because it isn't in L.A. and for a while they were saying the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, I mean come on now, that's redundant and stupid. Another reason I hate L.A. besides the traffic and the overall demeanor of the population.

On a side note, Padre's won again, but what can you expect, playing the garbage Giants. BLS your team couldn't keep it together for today's game, but oh well. S.S. and Dakuda your boys battled it out again, but the Chi Sox prevailed. Cubs won, but Brewers also did, so no ground gained for your boys Wii-Fi. I think I covered everybodys teams that actually posts here, if not I'll update for you if you don't know.

S.S. · 09-17-2007, 12:47 AM

Well at least it was a better game than yesterday's =P

blueovalboy7 · 09-18-2007, 06:10 AM

Looks like I'm a happy Padre fan again, 3-0 over the lowly pirates and the D'backs lost again so the NL west lead is down to 1 game.

Looks like the Cubs are hitting their stride again with another win, but unfortunately the Brewcrew won as well. Good stuff don't you think Wii-fi?

Looks like the Angels are going to win tonight S.S. although there is a lot of game left, they're playing Tampa, so...yea.

Unfortunately BLS the Marlins came up against the Braves who are, as I've stated before, a quality team and they came out on top.

Dakuda your boys whooped on the Royals which is to be expected.

Big_League_Slugger · 09-18-2007, 12:50 PM

damn Braves. Me no like Georgia.

blueovalboy7 · 09-18-2007, 11:55 PM

Haha, not just the Braves, but all of Georgia?

Wii-Fi · 09-19-2007, 03:48 AM

lol i'm rooting for the braves to beat the brewers brains out! And yeah it's def a good thing the Cubs have gotten hot so have the brewers though.

Yeah, I said it.

GEORGIA

blueovalboy7 · 09-19-2007, 06:08 AM

Haha, yea why was Zambrano pitching on 3 days rest Wii-Fi?

As for BLS, ok then, just big rivals to all of florida?

S.S. · 09-19-2007, 06:18 AM

Hey, so how long do you think Dave Mathews Jr will be out BOB? (haha BlueOvalBoy=BOB xD) I know it's indefinately but you know your stuff. How long should it take him to heal?

blueovalboy7 · 09-19-2007, 06:38 AM

How sweet would it be if my name was Bob, but oh well.

Well it threw me off when you said Dave Matthews Jr. I think you meant Gary Matthews Jr. and from what I've heard/read it looks like he'll be out for a week at the least, and they don't want to risk him furthering his ankle sprain so I wouldn't expect him back until wednesday or thursday of next week at the earliest. Also noticed that they're not chancing Vlad by keeping him at the DH, good call by the manager, IMO.

S.S. · 09-19-2007, 02:33 PM

Oops haha, I was listening to Dave Matthews Band at the time =P

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 games behind sox!!!....5 up in wildcard!!!!!! we were once 14.5 out.. now we are 2 games out....... Its not over yet!!!! everyone said the Yanks were done and would miss the playoffs. The wildcard is just about a lock and the divisions we are still right in....Tigers just lost so if Yanks win, 6 up in wildcard.....
