Bill's Baseball Thread [Experts ONLY]

[volfanbill]

Got the email a day or two ago and thought the same thing.

Wore my stratus for the first time this morning. I'm not thrilled with this color but I love the shoe. Not a huge difference in the flyer but there is a difference.

Glad you like the stratus!

I finally watched Pride of the Yankees last night.

That movie makes me cry like a newborn baby.

How did you people ruin a thread about the greatest American sport?

 

[82_VOL_83]

Specially about the damn Yankmees.

Cuz they’re locked out with little hope of starting the season on time

Before last season ended I thought it was unlikely they would start on time, but I am still pissed. I was looking forward to going to quite a few Spring training games. Went to a couple my first Spring here and only got one in 2 years ago before the world shut down.

I’m pissed there’s a lockout, but I know Billy and crew are going to dismantle the A’s as soon as the lockout ends. That pisses me off more. So the lack of any rush to resolve this is just meh to me

in the meantime -- best WS game I ever watched

Another added reason why baseball has been dead to me since the strike that resulted in no World Series.

I’m biased being a Cardinals fan, but 2011 WS game 6 for me.

Game 7, 1991

Sorry in advance to Braves fans, but that game was incredible

Made me hate the twinkies for a long time.

You'll find this funny. When he was with the Redbirds, David Freese tossed the better half a signed ball with his phone number attached.

RIP Kirby.

So underrated as a player. Absolutely phenomenal hitter but he was overshadowed by Gwynn and retired a little early due to the eye issues. Then lost all his legacy as the women issues continually popped up.

That game didn’t change much for me, but Kent Hrbek can EAD

And his legend grows.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Not 85 Denkinger bad but yeah, it was a blown call.

Denkinger (crew chief) was the right field ump with actually a great view of Hrbek pulling Gant off the bag in 91. Obviously the 1st base ump blew that call but Denkinger could have initiated discussion with 1st base ump. He didnt though.

Here's the ball.

Because of the ‘87 series, I agree.
