Baseball is my all time favorite sport to watch. Astros are my squad, went to their games all the time when we lived in Houston (cheap tickets because they were horrible). Going to a couple of games in July in they play in Anaheim.

They sure put it on my 'stros last week. Sad we lost Marwin to them

Baseball fan for sure and for several decades. Oakland A's fan. Attended my only two WS games in '74 at the Coliseum including the clincher. Bailed on the whole deal (attendance-wise) with the strike in Sep '94-Expos with the best record in baseball and Tony Gwynn batting .394 at the time. Took around 10 years to go back and then for a friends 50th B'day celebration at Wrigley.

No clock and each team gets 27 outs to get the win-at a minimum. A's are sucking wind right now.

Edit: In a previous life I did work for Louisville Slugger (all wood bats including MLB) and met some talented ball-players.

I used to love baseball growing up but I gave up on it after the 94 strike.

Thanks @carolinaque. Your posts are alway so uplifting.

😂

Used to watch Murph at Fulton County back in the day. Loved the Young Guns of the early 90s. Prime Time doing double duty. Chipper was a class act. Go Bravos.

Couldn't care less about the NBA/NFL*/NHL/NCAA but love the MLB. Washington Nationals is my team (as aggravating as that can be) since they moved to D.C.

Tho not in the fanatic category we do watch a lot of baseball on tv (usually only miss a half dozen Nats games on the telly each season) and try to go to at least a couple games a year.

* Is the NFL still even a thing? I thought everyone quit watching it a couple years ago cuz...reasons.

Yes. Big fan. I grew up an Astros fan and was stoked when they won the WS. Now living in TAMPA Bay, I’m pulling for the Rays first. I had season tickets for a few years in 07-09 including their playoff run to the WS.

I also hit up the CWS in Omaha back inthe Rosenblatt days. Very cool time. I saw TEXAS win the CWS.

Go Phillies! If you ever find yourself in Lewiston, ID in late May, check out the NAIA World Series. It isn't Omaha, but you will see some damn good college baseball being played!

especially at 10 bucks a pop.

Love baseball but growing up in Pittsburgh it’s been tough. Ownership sucks. I used to say when I had kids it’s all Pittsburgh sports teams. My son is 8 and likes the pirates and Yankees. Makes me cringe but I get it. He asked why they are always bad. Try explaining baseball economics to a kid. I’m just happy he enjoys the game and will sit and watch any game that’s on.

I have two favorite teams

1. SF Giants
2. whoever is playing the Dodgers

Happy Birthday Willie Mays! 88 today.

You’ve just been blessed with good football and hockey teams. As far as the Steelers are concerned, we’re going to be in for some lean years coming up soon. Kids will know what it’s like to go through the Bubby Brister era or the Kordell debacle.

You know it. It’s like Kramer’s strike at the bagel place on Seinfeld.

We moved due to the new Braves stadium. Cobb County taxpayers were stuck with a $450 million dollar tax bill due to a secretive deal between the Braves and the County Commissioner, Tim Lee. It has been called the worst deal in all of professional sports. We paid for the stadium so that the principles of the Braves could use their own money to develop the mixed use Battery Park around said taxpayer funded stadium. There’s a line item on the tax bill for the stadium. Mine was maybe $600-800. I don’t remember exactly. That wasn’t going to raise the $450m needed so they went around and reassessed property values. Mine went up 40% in two years.

They also stuck the dang place right in the middle of one of the worst interstate interchanges in the Southeast. Bad traffic is now continually miserable .

So yeah, I’m still salty.
