What a game for Hamilton yesterday. I wonder how much more $$ he made for his next contract?
I'm probably the only Tigers fan on the forum, but we are waiting for the bats to heat up. I'm not worried though because our division is ungodly awful.

That why I said pay, not games. It would be hard to punish them for more, just to keep them out for more starts.

Cole Hamels, first you intentionally hit a 19 yr old with a pitch, couple batters later, you worry about a runner on first, when there's a runner on third (something you learn in little league, NOT to do). SO that 19 yr old runner, fastest kid on the field steals home.
Then you brag that you did it on purpose
Sure, you won the game, your team went 1-2 in the series. But now your ass is sitting for five games without pay.

Maybe Jose will get more than one hit in this series. 
A lot of NYers down here so it'll be packed. Plus free food before the game. Should be fun!

Lucky bastard is in Arlington now, trying to find time to make it to a Rangers game.

With that said, I'm headed to Florida soon and plan on attending 2 or 3 Rays games at the Trop. They'll be playing against the Red Sox, Braves, and Blue Jays while I'm down there. Will be my first visit...can't wait. I made it to the Reds / Nationals game last Friday night, my first game of the year.
I also made it to a Yankees @ Pirates spring training game in Bradenton back in March. I then spent a few weeks helping a friend replace 5,000 random seats at Great American, which was a neat experience. Basically had full access to the stadium.
I'll post some pics of everything when I get a chance

Stadium was fantastic. I gotta get the pics I took with some hot co-workers. The 2nd level reminds me of PNC where you can see the game from almost anywhere on the level.

One on the right for me
I had tickets to A's/Giant's tonight. Traffic was so fucking bad getting home from work I decided to not even bother. Given the early game slaughter I'm glad I didn't go. And I fucking hate Barry Zito.

Went to the Tigers game tonight. I know the Pirates have a pathetic offense, but Verlander made them look like a triple-a team. Single with one out in the 9th kept him form his 3rd no-hitter, but still an awesome performance. The stadium was rocking with every strike he threw from the 7th inning on.

Whats up with RDX owners?

Theyre old, and the rotation stinks.

They're only 5.5 behind Baltimore and that won't last. 3.5 out from TB is the only thing to worry about. They'll be fine. I'd be more worried as an Angels, Brewers, or DBacks fan.

Nice to see the ChiSox on a nice tear lately...Paulie is on fire. 
And then, there are the Cubs.

Yah he's killed us a few times with the HR bat, him and Gaby Sanchez whom got shipped to AAA?
...
from the games i've watched when the Mets last played there, Marlins park does seem to play like a pitchers park. I like big ballparks, pitching & defense & small ball is my type of baseball. I wish they had never brought the fences in at Citifield :/

On an unrelated note, I will never understand Dusty the Clown's managing logic. It just doesn't make sense

Sucks that May ended. Baseball is so weird when it comes to calendars. We had such an awesome month. And Philly is bombarded with injuries but I have a feeling will win anyways.

General Baseball Question: If the pitcher throws short into the dirt and the ball bounces up and the batter still swings and hits it fair, is this a hit?

He needs to buy that left fielder a new car
Happy for him, really wish he could hit the reset switch on the past few seasons

Bill Maher buying a minority share of the Mets makes me want to 
Hopefully our paths will never cross at Citifield.
