all I can say about the Yankees is that they are probably the best looking MLB team out there :nod

26 championships bought.
0 championships won.
:p

[PaigeDMB22]

As long as that trophy is living in the bronx I don't care how it got there. They've bought there teams the last 7 years as well and hasn't done them much good :lol

[groton]

Paige that was all Last Century.
this Century the winningest Team resides in Beantown

Yep the BOSTON REDSOX

[boarder]

As long as that trophy is living in the bronx I don't care how it got there. They've bought there teams the last 7 years as well and hasn't done them much good :lol

Yeah, and look where not buying teams has gotten the Brewers. We made it to the WS back in 1982...

Go red Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!

[clwatt3]

I hate baseball. Damn Pirates, robbed me of my love for the game.

Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch.... :blah

[clwatt3]

Traded 2 more pitchers today.

Yesterday you trade your 2 most popular and productive players, then you trade 2 roster spots....

Same old shit, building for the future :blah At this rate, Im not going to see this future.

[McGinnisM]

I'm watching around the horn and they just called the Pirates a AAAA team. :)

They've been building for the future for 8 years. Do their owners not understand the concept of time?

[clwatt3]

All they see is the bottom line. $$$ Who cares about the shit product they put on the field.

Sounds exactly like the Ford family and the Lions. It's really annoying when that happens because there are plenty of other people that would love to be a good owner.

[clwatt3]

Breaking News: The Nutting family will be renaming the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Pittsburgh Prospects at the end of the season.

[jessfortyone]

LOL!!!!!!! Not to worry Chris... you can just look to the EAST and get a glimpse of that beautiful championship trophy :)
maybe the Pirates could be our new farm team? :thumbsup

But I can already look at "2" championship trophies... :sadie

[jessfortyone]

you can... i was just offering to help.. incase you FORGET what a BASEBALL championship trophy looks like...
or a division pennant...
or a major league baseball team :)

[McGinnisM]

Lots of moves today, it's going to be an interesting few months. can't believe Peavy ended up with the White Sox.

[guster14]

I hate baseball (for now) but that's only because I'm an Indians fan. Could be worse I guess, could root for the Pirates.

[clwatt3]

F-in Pirates lost tonight. At least it was a nice night at the ballpark. Mmmmmm, Primanti's!

[jessfortyone]

bump for Cliff Lee. I think I love him....

[McGinnisM]

bump for Cliff Lee. I think I love him....

He's off to a great start, that's for sure!

[laper74]

Big win for the Yanks !! 3 1/2 games and counting......... Way to shake that 0 for monkey vs the Sox this year.

Anyone see Ali at the game ? Man did he get old fast.

[drumrun]

Yes, it was a huge win for the Yankees. Even if we lose the next 3(we better not) we still end the sieres with a 1/2 game lead. Best case a 6 and 1/2 game lead, that would be huge.

[trpnwillie]

:blah

get you get MLB coverage in the UP?

Just the Blue Jays?

[laper74]

Yanks going for the sweep tonight !! :banana

5 1/2 up and pulling away............

[McGinnisM]

Atta-boy Justin Verlander! Seriously.

Dear Mr. Dombrowski,

Please give JV whatever he wants. 10 years $250 millie? Sure, give it to him.

[popey004]

I wonder if the Nationals will be able to sign Stephen Strasburg by tonight. Since Boras is his agent, probably not.

"Wouldn't we all like to buy bread at a price they charged 100 years ago, a nickel a loaf, with the income we enjoy today?"
^Quote from Boras on the signing of Strasburg

[McGinnisM]

Boras is the man, as much of a jerk he can be, he always gets what he wants.

[popey004]

I agree, but it is not always beneficial to the player...unless the player only wants money...

[McGinnisM]

Some of the players ONLY want the $, and that's the problem. Boras is the kind of guy that will get it for em, that's for sure!

[clwatt3]

God, the Pirates suck so bad...At least its football season.

[popey004]

Some of the players ONLY want the $, and that's the problem. Boras is the kind of guy that will get it for em, that's for sure!

Right I totally agree with that, but why not sign a good 2 year deal then go prove yourself. After you prove yourself you will be on the open market where teams will pay an assload for you...

[clwatt3]

Because that makes sense Nick. I mean, my next job Im demanding 250,000 or i'll sit out a year.

[McGinnisM]

Not sure what happened to CLiff Lee when he got traded, but damn that dude has been money for Philly! He is last years CC Sabathia, but a bit skinnier.

[guster14]

He was money before f'ing Mark Shapiro traded him for some used baseballs and a couple of broken bats, just the Indians couldn't hit for him. Hell, our hitters couldn't hit a whiffle ball w/ the big red bat.

[blsc1121]

I love baseball.

Unfortunately for me, I also love the Reds.

At least it's almost football season?

[clwatt3]

Andrew McCutchen for rookie of the year.

[MooreSaxPlease]

I'm pulling for the Phil's; J.A. Happ

[McGinnisM]

With football coming on strong, I've almost given up on the MLB season until the playoffs start.

[jessfortyone]

Not sure what happened to CLiff Lee when he got traded, but damn that dude has been money for Philly! He is last years CC Sabathia, but a bit skinnier.

he is playing on the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. thats what happened :)

[ChiefFan08]

Baseball is and always be my favorite sport. Even when my team, the Cubs, suck.

They are in trouble for a few years with some of the bloated contracts they have for some older guys in their decline years, see Alfonso Soriano. 5 more years at like $20 mil/ year that is scary. They are paying that for a 6th hitter with no speed and no defense.

One other thing on Soriano, I don't know why anyone ever throws a fastball to him. Three breaking balls in the dirt and he will swing a each one.

At least the Bears have a QB for a change.

[clwatt3]

he is playing on the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. thats what happened :)

This morning they played the radio broadcast of Howards HR last night in the 10th.

You heard the crack of the bat and then "Thats gone" immediately after he hit it.

[DMBfan]

Love it

[McGinnisM]

Ryan Howard is a freak.

He's going to be a Red Sock soon.

[DMBfan]

That would be nice

[IndyDMBFan]

Baseball is my favorite sport, rooting for the Cubs every year never gets old. I have tickets to the last three home games of the regular season...hopefully they'll still be in it making a push for the playoffs.....I can always dream....

I had a college roommate that was a huge Cubs fan and he was so pumped they got Soriano. I was trying to tell him that contract would bite them in the ass but he wouldn't even listen to me. It will be interesting to see what the new ownership does with the team.

[clwatt3]

I'm pulling for the Phil's; J.A. Happ

McCutchen led off the game with a homer off Happ last night.

[jessfortyone]

Ryan Howard is a freak.

He's going to be a Red Sock soon.

keep smoking that happy stuff. Howard is never leaving Philly. They will pay him whatever he wants.
The Phillies are the only team in Philly that will dish out the $$... and Howard is tops on that list :)

[clwatt3]

Because there is no cap. Thats whats wrong with baseball.

[jessfortyone]

there's nothing wrong with baseball. the cap took away the franchise player. it ruined sports.
Thank god I never had to see Mike Schmidt wear a different jersey.

[clwatt3]

You dont like the cap because the Eagles and Flyers can win a championship...

[jessfortyone]

thats ridiculous. i don't like the cap because Larry Bird should ALWAYS be a Celtic. Dr J should always be Sixer. Magic should always be a Laker.
Kids should grow up knowing who plays for which team and be keep a jersey more htan one season.
Kids should know and believe in their team.
Not be disgusted by players like Johnny Damon who are a hero one minute and a sell out the next.

[clwatt3]

GREED

[jessfortyone]

Exactly.

[McGinnisM]

I would guess Howard goes to the Red Sox for a few reasons. 1, he can sneeze and the ball will go over that short porch in right field. 2, he can platoon at DH. 3, The Red Sox are not going to make the playoffs, and the Yank's got Texiera, Boston didn't. No way the Sox don't make a huge splash in the off season and go full force at Howard

[McGinnisM]

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/108389

what's the deal with this?

[clwatt3]

Jones hits Pirates' 10,000th franchise home run

Damn, that's a lot of home runs!

[jessfortyone]

No way the Sox don't make a huge splash in the off season and go full force at Howard

they may go full force but Howard will resist:
1. He will, by that time, be part of a dynasty in the making.
2. He loves to play first base. He will not choose to DH till he's 40. He lost 20 lbs in the off season to sharpen his defense.
3. He sneezes and the ball goes out of Citizen's Bank Park. And the city goes crazy. The city that loves him. Believes in him. And will pay him accordingly :)

[McGinnisM]

I'm a bit disappointed in myself not going to any minor league games this year.

[trpnwillie]

I always want to take in a Loons game, but I'm never down there for anything other than DMB.

[McGinnisM]

I love going to Loons games. Only about 30 minutes away, cheap tickets, great seats all around. CMU plays there a few times a year too.

[McGinnisM]

17 straight losses in the city of champions, ouch!

[McGinnisM]

Huge series coming up for my Tigers. Hopefully they don't blow it.

[Sochax92]

i hope the figers do well my good friend is from michigan and since the mets cant tie thier shoe laces ill root for the tigers....starting.........NOW!

[edhaze]

So I'm watching my Dodgers finally win the division and this guys in front of me

[McGinnisM]

Sweet!

Freaking Tigers. What a joke this has been.

[clwatt3]

Have the Pirates lost their 100th yet?

[McGinnisM]

62-98

Still 2 chances left.

[clwatt3]

:woohoo

Come on 100!

[McGinnisM]

I remember those days for the Tigers too.

Damn Tigers! At least Verlander goes today, he BETTER dominate!

[clwatt3]

With a late-season surge, and a little help from Mother Nature, the Pirates made sure they did not become the eighth club in franchise history to lose 100 games in a season.

Boooooooo

[McGinnisM]

Tuesday is the day.

Hopefully Cabrera's wife doesn't beat him up again.

[trpnwillie]

Is that what happened? Everyone was hush-hush about it.

As far as tomorrow's game: thank God I'm working. I doubt I could watch it.

[ThePrestige]

Go TWINS!!!

[Bluecow003]

I took a picture of Cuddyer's homerun Sunday afternoon. I'll be at Tuesday's game as well. This is the time of year it pays to have season tickets!

[Bluecow003]

So on the outside of the Metrodome they have always had this big sign showing the Twins World Series titles and yesterday as the potential last game there I wanted to take some pictures of the outside of the Metrodome. Well they covered up literally almost an entire side of the Metrodome with a giant Brett Favre sign and it covered up the spot where the Twins sign was for their World Series titles. The whole outside of the building was covered with purple signs for the Vikings. Not only that, they already had a banner hanging on the side of the Metrodome with its new name: Mall of America Field. Did you guys hear they just renamed the Metrodome literally last week? What the shit? Here we are coming the last scheduled regular season Twins game ever to be played there and they changed the name of the place before it happened and draped the entire outside of the building in Vikings shit.

There is definitely no love lost when we finally leave that place.

In their defense - they likely planned to do it when, had the Tigers not tried to suck so bad the last 2 weeks - it wouldn't have been a problem.

[Bluecow003]

What do you mean? I'm talking about Sunday as I was going to the game. I wanted to take a picture of the Metrodome before the Twins game started. The game on Sunday was planned forever. It was always the last scheduled game of the year. It was the game they had the big ceremony remembering the Metrodome after the game. All of this stuff happened at Sunday's game, the last scheduled game of the season for every team in baseball. They made all these changes before the season was done not even counting Tuesday's game.

[trpnwillie]

OH! I thought you were talking about tomorrow's game!

:blush

[McGinnisM]

Let's go Tigers! Come on Porcello, this is why we gave you what you wanted!

[Bluecow003]

OH! I thought you were talking about tomorrow's game!

:blush

:lol No, they did all that shit before the Twins were done with their season. I wasn't impressed. I was all set to take pictures of the Dome to remember it as the possible last game I would ever see there, but there was no way I was going to take pictures of it with all that purple all over it and Brett Favre looming like the jolly purple giant on the side.

Yeah, I'm not cheering for either team (I'm A.L. fan), but that was hard to watch. I felt bad for St. Louis. They really did deserve to win that game.

Just got home from the ALDS game 2 at Yankee Stadium...

Damn, that place went absolutely nuts when A-Rod sent the ball in the Yanks bullpen and then again with Tex. The building was shaking.

My voice hurts...

There have been some terrible calls in the playoffs thus far. The twins got bent over tonight by the call on the left field line.

[eschiff]

i'm in fooking kyiv at the moment for work and have to wake up at 3am to watch the phills hopefully clinch the pennant. it'll be the 5th different country i've watched them the last two years (and i'm from Philly!).

the only silver lining is i'm heading home next week, and have tix to (theoretically) games 4 and 5 (my family has had season tix for 30 years so we get the option to buy tix at the end of the season which up until recently has been a silly exercise)

anyway, GO PHILLLLLLLS!!!!

[eschiff]

YES! Best Philly team of all team? Certainly in my 30 years. One more step.

[dmbcaptain]

Wow. It's almost like I expected it to happen this time. It's a nice feeling. Go Phils. Repeat!!!

[McGinnisM]

[clwatt3]

I support this post for the next 2 weeks.

:lol

[jessfortyone]

not a chance. The phils are purposely trying to show the stupid birds up for the Dawkins embarrassment, so they will keep Howard FOREVER.


thats right, Watt. NO CAP. They can pay him whatever they want.

[McGinnisM]

Just wait Jess, just wait!

[jessfortyone]

I've been waiting for you FOREVER. But you are absolutely WERTH the wait. You and Jayson :)

[McGinnisM]

[McGinnisM]

[clwatt3]

Phils

[edhaze]

[McGinnisM]

for the Yankees to have a chance, they need to get rid of Johnny Damnon.

[dmbforever]

Phils
+1

[McGinnisM]

Does Chase Utley always slick his hair like that? Who is he supposed to be? Jessie James?

[dmbforever]

Does Chase Utley always slick his hair like that? Who is he supposed to be? Jessie James?

I think it helps him hit home runs ;)

[eschiff]

cliff lee is a bad mother fooker! Goddamn that was a great game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jessfortyone]

I ALWAYS ask that about Chase!! He is such a stud.. except for that grecian hair oil!! YES! He always does that to his hair! I do not get it...
but he can do anything he wants if he keeps hitting World Series dingers :)

GO PHILS!!!!

[DMBdolphan]

Game 5 Phillies hold up the trophy

[TheOcean]

Does Chase Utley always slick his hair like that? Who is he supposed to be? Jessie James?

jessie james was a no good killer.

[McGinnisM]

Utley doesn't use pine tar, he just rubs his head.

[IndyDMBFan]

Great game last night. Lee looked stellar! I'm a Cubs fan, but I would root for anyone against the Yanks.

[LieIn0urGraves]

Yanks are in trouble...they have a mental case on the mound tonight in a must win game. Yikes! Then again Hamels hasnt been good either, but hes been there before. Its probably going to be a slugfest, I hope the bullpens are nice and rested.

[McGinnisM]

Jess! How dare you!

Lawyer: Woman scored online tix in past

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia woman charged with offering sex for World Series tickets says she's embarrassed about her arrest, but did nothing wrong and is still hopeful of attending a game.

WORLD SERIES: PHILLIES VS. YANKEES

Complete coverage of the Phillies-Yankees matchup. More

"I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not embarrassed about my actions. I'm embarrassed about how I was arrested," Susan Finkelstein told The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday, a day after meeting at a suburban bar with an undercover police officer responding to an ad on Craigslist.

Finkelstein's lawyer said his client is merely "a nice lady overcome with Phillies fever."

She might have dropped double entendres in her Craigslist ad but never explicitly offered sex, her lawyer William J. Brennan said.

The 43-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate student wanted to take her husband to a game between her beloved Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees. The self-described "buxom blonde" said she was simply trying to score tickets online, as she had in the past.

Over a few beers at a suburban bar, she told a police officer she needed two tickets, one for herself and one for her husband. No price had been discussed, and Finkelstein and her lawyer stopped short of recounting specifics of what was said before several officers sitting at a nearby table came to arrest her.

Brennan hopes to get the misdemeanor charge of promoting prostitution dismissed.

"If somebody read into that posting a sexual connotation, that's on them. There's no overt sexual reference," Brennan said.

Finkelstein told WPVI-TV she was looking to get a deal on tickets.

"I was hoping to get cheap tickets," she said, "maybe meet someone, and talk, and bat my eyelashes and maybe get some tickets."

Finkelstein faces a preliminary hearing in Bucks County on Dec. 3. On the bright side, she's been offered a pair of tickets to a weekend game in Philadelphia, courtesy of a radio station and car dealer.

"It definitely wasn't worth all this ... turmoil and anxiety," she told the AP with her lawyer and husband, 56-year-old John LaVoy, on the line. "Hopefully, the silver lining is I do get to see the game."

She is not worried about the notoriety that might follow her to the stadium in the wake of national news coverage of her arrest.

"I think most people will be focused on the game," Finkelstein said.

[eschiff]

i'm flying home from london to philly on saturday (randomly, booked this holiday 2 months ago). got tickets to game 5 as my dad has been season ticket holder for 30 years. holy shit i can't wait.

[clwatt3]

[eschiff]

And its not Hamels pitching tonight boys, its PEDRO!!

[McGinnisM]

The Yankees are his daddy, right?

[jessfortyone]

Hell YES!!! And daddy's gonna get schooled again tonight :)

[McGinnisM]

I have a feeling the Yankees hit him well, but I'm sure the Phils will do the same to AJ.

Slugfest on the way!

[jessfortyone]

[eschiff]

[McGinnisM]

I hear that. Not looking too good right now in the 7th. :bang

[eschiff]

fucking phillies, they kill me. heading down to the game tonight, fully expecting a perfect game from lee. don't need to worry about winning three games right now. let's just win tonight and go from there.

[Gary!]

I'm sitting in a hotel room and just ate a whole pizza by myself watching this game. Is that bad?

[edhaze]

[deludo]

depends on the kind of pizza and if you have beer...

[Gary!]

almost the perfect evening.

Pretty much.


depends on the kind of pizza and if you have beer...

Some decent NY style (for NC, that is) - half cheese, half cheese & pepperoni. 6 pack of Yuengling.

[McGinnisM]

Ok, this is how you know you are "THE MAN"

I dont care what anyone says, dude's MONEY.

[McGinnisM]

wow, something isn't right there.

[McGinnisM]

I bought a Phillies hat today, just to make someone else happy.

Really, I needed a new hat and wanted blue/red.

[McGinnisM]

If the Tigers trade Granderson I'm going to be really pissed.

Rumors of Yankees/Cubs being after him.

[jcooldog007]

i would HIGHLY doubt they would trade granderson. and if they did, it would be for the right price for them.

[McGinnisM]

The the amount of money Detroit is losing, i'm sure someone high $$ will be gone soon.

[Gary!]

Saw this on another forum. Pretty cool.

[Rob D]

[MUZZ]

Red sox close to signing lackey!

[Rob D]

then they'll have the two ugliest players in baseball. lackey and youk.

[PhishDMB]

Red sox close to signing lackey!

Which most likely means Buchholz is, or will be, on the block... for A. Gonzalez perhaps?

[PhishDMB]

then they'll have the two ugliest players in baseball. lackey and youk.

um, did Randy Johnson retire?
