You can root for them all ya want slot. I have been rooting for the braves since I was a kid because they were my "home" team. Now the Marlins are here, and I root for them, but my heart is always with the Braves first.

Gander, this is a pretty funny site.I didn't know Madman Milton Bradley got hurt after being just a couple days off the dl.I saw he was on the 15 day dl,but thought they just forgot to update the fact he had come off it.Amazing.

Slot-

I think the story out of Detroit this year is really nice but the real season hasnt really kicked in yet. While I see them sticking around and making the post season, I dont see them continuing at this pace for very much longer. I think the White Sox will prove best in that division and have it wrapped up by mid September.

The Tigers were very hot about 6-7 weeks ago too, then they got their butts kicked by the Yankees, who were very hurting with injuries, in Detroit. I think they lost 3 of 4 to the Yankees. Laid down to them.

Best team in baseball? Not so sure about that but I wish them all the best, they are a very likeable bunch, especially when compared to the Yankees and White Sox

The top of the sixth ended when Bradley, who reached second on the throw home that failed to get Payton, forgot how many outs there were and was easily doubled up after sprinting for third on Mark Ellis' one-out fly ball to shallow center field.

"I'm sure he knows it was a mistake," Macha said.

LOL..That is classic Milton.He got caught too far off 1st by a pitcher(but the runner on 3rd was able to get home safely,)then he gets doubled up at 2nd on a fly ball.He is a decent athlete with a lot of pure power,but man does he have some STYROFOAM up in that head of his.

"It was a bad read," said Bradley, who thought the ball would fall in. "I made a mistake."

Gander,do they really have some seats at the REDSOX games that cost $110.00?

Gander · #6 07-18-2006, 05:08 PM

LOL, more than $110! They have seats atop the Green Monster which go for $150-225 face value. Ridiculous. You cant get a good seat in Fenway for less than $60 anymore.

Dodger games are much cheaper. 2 years ago I was out there and got seats the night of the game for $18 a piece that were comprable to the $60 ones at Fenway.

Actually,the guy from Boston(who bought the Dodgers)has taken pretty good care of the Stadium.He has spent money in the last year to keep it up(without making a lot of drastic changes,)and I do give him credit for that.I am not happy with the large ads on the outfield wall.He seems like he or his wife is pretty concious of good design,but those ads on the outfield wall are ugly.You have any idea if those bring in that much more money than the ads behind the batter(the ones that change constantly.)
