Baseball
It’s a Saturday and the weather is beautiful. It’s Cinco de Mayo. Enjoy some cold ones and a ballgame. There’s a lot going on around baseball right now to enjoy.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and observations in the comments. It’s the best time of the week to be a baseball fan!
We’ve got Justin Upton and a bunch of guys taking on the Megapower duo of Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. It’s a last running of the bulls for Prince in a Brewers uniform.
If that’s not enough baseball for you, that’s good. St. Louis and Philly have first pitch slated for just around 5:07 while Tampa Bay and Texas start at 7:07. And don’t forget the night concludes with Yankees baseball from the Bronx with the conclusion of yesterday’s suspended game starting at 8:37.
We’re going to open the Johnny Walker Black Label here soon. There aren’t too many Saturdays left in this baseball season and Saturdays in the fall count for double.
Above is When it Was a Game I part one. If you want to continue watching click here. That’s what a sunny Saturday in the summer time means to me, watching this at my grandparents house and then whatever national game they decided to air.
Usually this awesome documentary–which was originally aired on HBO–would replay on PBS or some cable television station. They would do a marathon of it and run it all morning and afternoon. I loved watching these and I couldn’t believe that this was the same game that I was obsessed with, just a version of it many years before.
It’s still the same great game, albeit frustrating at times. It was the worst loss of the year for the Reds last night in my opinion. Jay Bruce hit his 20th home run of the year. The Angels won in Mike Trout’s debut. Adam Dunn hit a bomb, but he’s still riding highway I-60.
We hope you have a great Saturday. And take our advice, watch When It Was a Game sometime. All of them. You won’t regret it.
There’s a beauty about to go down in the Bay on FOX Saturday Baseball. Take it from me–Timmy’s been completely useless in fantasy baseball.
I figure today since he’s going against my favorite team, he’s good for 8 innings, 12 K’s and of course the ‘W’ which is an ever overrated stat.
The Reds have been frustrating lately, hovering at 1 to 2 games over .500 for a few weeks now. It’s OK fellas, you can start winning anytime you’re ready. Leake vs. Lincecum in the Bay pretty much lets you know how this one is going to go; you don’t have to be Jimmy the Greek to predict the result of this titanic struggle.
By the way, the Cleveland Indians are unraveling.
Last night was a crummy Friday night as far as the baseball world went. Jay Bruce and Jason Heyward went deep for the fourth and seventh times respectively, but both the Reds and Braves lost games that they nearly could have had the “W”.
Today is a Saturday, a glorious and finally warm Saturday. We’re headed to Cincinnati to see Josh Johnson mow down about a dozen of our Redlegs in a probable 8 or 9 innings of work. If the Reds don’t find a way tonight, they’ll be under .500 on the season. Something just doesn’t ‘feel’ right so far.
Full detailed write-up and pictures from the park upcoming. Enjoy your Saturday, it’s the best day of the week.
Saturdays when I was a kid meant that it was a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to get to watch some team that was out of market. If you were lucky when I was a kid, The Straw might have been on FOX 28 Columbus.
With today being the best day of the week, we’ve got a full slate of games to take in. Make sure your fantasy lineup is updated, because everyone’s in play today.
And if you look for him hard enough–maybe, just maybe; you’ll see Straw with that big beautiful sweeping left handed swing pound one into the upper deck orange seats at Shea Stadium. Was there anything better than late 80′s and early 90′s baseball if you grew up in the era that I did?
Do yourself a favor and hit play on that above. Do you know what that is from? Listen hard. Still need a hint or two? Mel Allen. Saturdays as a kid. What was better than waking up on a Saturday (if for some reason you weren’t playing yourself), catching This Week in Baseball, and then watching the national game of the week?
I should be at the park in Cincinnati today, but I passed my flu along to my fiance so we’re stuck here in Columbus. I have all my fantasy team horses rolling today (King Felix, Kershaw, Hamels, Latos, Braden, Gavin Floyd) and the Braves and Mets play a double header. Some pretty good games on my watch list.
So enjoy your baseball Saturday if indeed you’re lounging around the house like me. Feel free to add any observations or discussion in the comments. Because that’s what rainy Saturdays in the spring should be all about.
Oh and in case you missed it, Gigantosaur did this and this last night while you were sleeping or out at the local spirits tavern. We had a feeling he wouldn’t stay down long.
