Update on Parker - no UTI, no upper respiratory virus, white blood cell and platelet counts look pretty good. No fever today so far (praise God) but still low on energy. They think it’s something just nasty viral. But we are awaiting results on some cultures and a couple other things. Thank you guys for continuing to pray. Keep ‘em coming. Let’s go get a run-rule today!

Put the pipe down. You need new batteries in your Magic 8 Ball for it to work properly.

You don’t think the Braves can win a World Series this year?
That lineup is dangerous 1-9 and when Fried is healthy you have 2 studs in he and Strider and a solid rotation behind them.

  • 1926 - Hack Wilson smacks a fifth inning home run off the Wrigley Field scoreboard, situated at ground level, to start a 14-8 rout of the Braves. Wilson is the first player to hit a ball off the scoreboard, which, in 1937, will be moved atop the newly built bleachers. Later that night, Wilson and a few others are arrested at a friend's apartment for drinking beer in violation of the Prohibition Act.

  • 1944 - Wartime restrictions are eased and the Polo Grounds is the scene of the first night game in metro New York since 1941. The Giants Bill Voiselle loses a 2-1, ninth-inning lead because an apparent last-out fly ball is dropped by center fielder Johnny Rucker when Charles Mead runs into him. Two runners score and the Dodgers win 3-2.

  • 1978 - The A.L. approves the transfer of the Red Sox to a group headed by Jean Yawkey, Buddy LeRoux, and Haywood Sullivan. The purchase price is $15 million. Sullivan had a seven-year catching career for the Red Sox and Royals, while LeRoux was the Boston trainer for eight years.

  • 1980 - Five hours after the midnight deadline passes, the players and owners avert a strike by announcing a new four-year basic agreement. The new deal raises the minimum salary from $21,000 to $30,000 and increases the clubs' contributions to the players' pension fund, but the major issue of free-agent compensation remains unresolved.

  • 1989 - Cleveland loses to Detroit 7-2 to drop its record to 21-22, but remains in first place in the A.L. East by percentage points. It marks the latest in a season a sub-.500 team has been in first place.

  • 1991 - Tommy Greene tosses the season's second no-hitter, a 2-0 win over Montreal.

  • 1995 - Cubs pitcher Kevin Foster and Rockies hurler Marvin Freeman each hit home runs off each other in a 7-6 Chicago win at Coors Field. Foster and Freeman are just the tenth duo this century to hit and throw gopher balls against each other.

Braves and Rays have to be the favorite.

Can the Rays keep up this crazy pace?
My favorites as of now...
Braves, Dodgers
Followed by Astros, Rangers
Then AL East
Then everyone else.
Rays, Pirates and Orioles may be just a tad too young to be serious contenders yet, imo.
Don’t count out the Mets or the Cards.

Braves really are light years ahead of Dodgers, in my opinion. I think the Braves eventually win it all, although baseball is crazy.

I (actually my wife) may be partially to blame for the baseVols performance. She booked 2 cruise vacations during spring break and right after classes ended (now), and we’ve lost every game while I was away (today and the Missou series). Luckily, we’ll be back before the NCAA tourney begins and we don’t have any future such trips planned at the moment.

You need to tighten up. We're putting you in charge of team chemistry for the regional.

  • 1902 - Cleveland third baseman Bill Bradley is the A.L.'s first player to hit a home run in each of four consecutive games, a record not matched until Babe Ruth does it June 25, 1918.

  • 1928 - In the first game of a doubleheader in Philadelphia, a record 13 future Hall of Famers take the field in the Yankees 9-7 victory over the A's. This number does not include non-playing Hall of Famers Herb Pennock and Stan Coveleski, managers Miller Huggins and Connie Mack, nor umpire Tom Connally.

  • 1930 - Babe Ruth homers in both games of a doubleheader, giving him nine long balls in one week.

  • 1935 - The Cincinnati Reds host the Philadelphia Phillies in the first major league night game, winning 2-1. On the initiative of Larry MacPhail, President Franklin D. Roosevelt throws the switch at the White House to turn on the lights. The Reds will play seven night games, one each against the other N.L. teams.

  • 1936 - Ben Chapman, playing for the New York Yankees during a 25-2 win over the Philadelphia Athletics, reaches base seven times in the game, a major league record, on two doubles and five walks. Teammate Tony Lazzeri also has a good day, hitting two grand slams, a solo homer and a triple to produce 11 RBIs!

  • 1940 - The Cleveland Indians edge the St. Louis Browns 3-2 in the first night game at Sportsman's Park before 24,827. Bob Feller beats Eldon Auker and adds a home run as well.

  • 1946 - Joe McCarthy quits as Yankees manager Bill Dickey replaces him.

  • 1979 - Billy Martin issues a public apology to Reno sportswriter Ray Hagar, with whom he brawled last November. Hagar had filed suit for assault, leading to an out-of-court settlement.

  • 1984 - Detroit (35-5) beats California 5-1 for its 17th consecutive win on the road, breaking the A.L. record set by the 1912 Senators, and tying the major league mark set by the 1916 Giants. The Tigers will finally lose tomorrow in Seattle 7-3.

  • 1989 - Yankees reliever Lee Guetterman gives up five runs in the ninth inning of New York's 11-4 loss to California, ending his consecutive scoreless inning streak at 30 2/3. It is the longest season-opening streak in the majors since Harry Brecheen's in 1948, and the longest season-opening streak ever by a reliever.
