Are There Any BASEBALL Fans On The Forum?

[OLDE CUTLER]

Mets pitchers = 15 strike outs. Cardinals pitchers = 9 walks. Guess who won?

Go Braves 1 and 0 against Philadelphia

Go Braves 1 and 0

Larry I like to see those late comebacks like that. Maybe we'll make a little noise this year.

[OLDE CUTLER]

Fernando Rodney doing what he does best, blowing games, this year with the Twins.

redrider that is just an impressive displays of Nats action figures, er bobble heads. I only have 1, Placido Polanco and he had a huge head.

But being a fan of the Fightin's, the Nats suck. Just sayin'. Phils go later this afternoon against the Bravos in Altlanta, 4:10 start. First victim.

No worries, steve99f, it's a long season. I'd much rather go to a game than watch one on t.v., my girl got us a 6 pack of tickets to bobblehead games. So the shelf will be expanding!

Big day tomorrow in the City of Two Chilis.

With 5 pitchers on the DL and Homer Baily as opening day Reds pitcher, I think were going to have another long season. ftd

[bladebuddy]

Oh those Phillies give me heartburn. Blow a 5-0 lead

[steve99f]

Makes you wonder about Mr. Kapler's lack of experience at this level. Nola was cruisin'. No reason to pull him in the opener. And he went deep in the bullpen and they are playing again today. Take out Hoskins? Why?

Why didn't he walk Markakis too?

Kudos to the braves for coming back from a 5 to 0 hole.

Too bad the Twins couldn't have rallied back and beat the hO's yesterday, I was really hoping they would.

[Mumbleypeg]

My youngest son took me to opening day, Rangers versus Lastros yesterday. Nothing like the atmosphere and ceremony of opening day! We had a great time!

Opening Day, Globe Life Park

Flyover by Cavanaugh Flight Museum

[jerryd6818]

Looks like you had good seats too.

[1967redrider]

Ken,

That's what I'm talking about! Nothing like going to the stadium on a gorgeous day. Who did the fly-over?

-John

[Mumbleypeg]

The fly-over was done by the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. https://www.cavflight.org/ Not sure what the planes were but the museum has both a B-25 and a B-29 in its collection. My understanding is they maintain all their collection in flying condition and tour them around the country to various events.

This fly-over was calm compare to a couple of years ago when they had a squadron of F-18s do it. That was deafening! And they came and went in about 3 seconds.

A great way to spend a day with your son Ken.

The sound of those old piston driven warbirds is impressive too.

Whew!!! The Cubs vs Marlins game last night was quite the marathon. Each team scored a run in the 3rd inning and it stayed tied at 1-1 until the Marlins scored one in the bottom of the 17th inning. The game started at 6:00 PM CDT and at 11:00 PM CDT I went to bed in the middle of the 16th inning. It was the longest game in that park by innings (17) and the second longest by time (5 hours, 18 minutes).

Oh, and by the way. I just learned that Derek Jeter is now co-owner of the Marlins. Hmmmm

[steve99f]

The second Phillies vs Braves game didn't go that long jerryd, just seemed like it.

Home opener tomorrow in Wrigley vs Pirates

Nats lost 1-3
Cardinals lost 1-4
Braves leading the Rockies 4-0 at the end of the 8th.
Reds lost to Pirates 0-5

[gsmith7158]

Bravos are looking pretty testy so far!

[fergusontd]

My Reds are in mid season form......well on there way to 100 loses!!!! ftd

[steve99f]

I didn't stick around for the whole game Ferg but when I quit watching it was tie and wasn't going in a good direction. But the Phils pulled it out I guess. Haven't sen the paper yet.

[gsmith7158]

Bravos take the final game with the Nats with 2 in the 12th inning 5-3. This is the first series of the year that the Braves have lost. Impending showdown with the Cubbies this weekend. I hope it doesn't snow up there Jerryd.

[Tsar Bomba]

9 wins in the first 10 games. Up 4-1 late against Miami. Thor and the boys are looking dominant.

Dare to dream...?

(The Amazins and their injuries, 2018 edition. d'Arnaud on the shelf already with a partial UCL tear. This team is uncanny at finding the grey clouds inside the silver lining...)

[1967redrider]

Made some room for the 6 bobbleheads coming up this season, the first one is tomorrow with my girl.
