Good point.

GBO!!

I wish I had a dollar every time you post GBO !!! That's some good gas money right there.

You are lucky that you get to share that with her, she is a keeper. I’m hearing more and more that a lot of women, wives, mothers, girlfriends who never cared about baseball have been tuning in since Tony took over. That’s a plus so we don’t feel guilty watching every game.

I actually met my wife at a college baseball game.
One year, when we lived in Dallas, she watched all 162 Texas Ranger regular season games plus all playoff games.

Dayum. She must have had some of that "tomboy" growing up?
I had a cousin (girl) who was a tomboy when we were little growing up.

Her fits can be very entertaining when her team loses. She's doesn't buy into the whole "that's baseball" thing. LOL

Going to be a long wait on your part.

My wife just rolls her eyes when I say my game is on. Not a sports fan at all. I'm screwed.

You didn’t only find a keeper, you found a unicorn.

Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, when the Cards tied it up in the 9th to take the Rangers to extra innings, I thought she was going to destroy my freaking living room.

What is her stance on bunts?

Do I remember correctly, was it a Stanford game where you met?

Aka, the greatest game in the history of sports.

Yeah...he had a fish out of water look about him on that at bat. I know our offense is built around the long ball, but in some situations, being able to manufacture a run or two could mean the difference in advancing vs goin' home. Not sure if this is something that can be fixed at this late date tho. We just have to be who we are. Bomb the ball and lean heavy on our pitching.

He bunted at a ball pitch one. He took a curveball (easy pitch to bunt) pitch 2 that would have gone a long way if swing. Then he swung at a pitch he could not have hit with a fat albert bat and looked bad at that. Pitiful.

That's nice to know if that chit is true.

To be honest, I don't remember the 2011 WS since the Braves didn't partake..

Yep, her college roommate's brother played for Stanford.

She rightly believes bunting is a sacrilege. She makes me look like a small ball sympathizer.

Arguably the greatest World Series of all time.

I’m not saying to copy the swing, it’s just who Burke reminds me of, during Davis’ prime years. He made it work for him over a 5 year period and ended up with almost 300 bombs. That’s pretty darn good. I would to study Miggy’s or the Man Ram’s swing if you are right handed. Sweetest right handed swings in baseball imo. For a lefty, there’s several to choose from lol. Griffey Jr, Ted Williams, Tony Gwynn, Ichiro, Chipper, etc. The list could go on for lefties.

I think Burke's swing is more like Griffey than Davis, and you'll find some comparisons on line showing him side by side with Griffey.

You're right that Davis was almost Ruthian there for years, and he cashed that ticket for big bucks, and then he was awful for years until he mercifully retired. It was like he was two completely different hitters.

There's a commercial on local TV here that shows this as needing good car insurance.

Yep, and I had to. LOL
I think my laughing actually made it worse that it had to be.

This summarizes the biggest cry baby team and fan base in the SEC in one at bat.
Arkansas is usually the first to say other teams cheat?

Well, well, well….
