Anyone see the end of that Indians/Jays game last night? Haffner won it with a walk off grand slam. Pretty crazy but too bad it was another win for Cleveland. Btw, Haffner is from ND. Just sayin... lol

PC - Just dashed back to the nest and gotta run in a sec. Didn't see the Hafner blast, but I saw on the MLB scoreboard site before I turned-in that the sacks were juiced in the bottom of the 9th, and I kinda worried that I'd read about it this morning. Guess what....? Oh, well.

Yeah, well I guess that means the boys will have to keep it up and continue on with that sweep.

Right you are, PC! It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. Might as, well be the "garbage men" who play their home games in the shadow of the Downtown Incinerator. (Anybody know...does that thing still burn trash? It did years ago.)
Go Twins!

Yes it does. It was just featured on a discovery Channel show.

Thanks, ATP! Then since no one wants to give this team any respect I will refer to them as the "garbagemen." I expect them to clean up tonite like they did last nite!

Yes siree, JR! Ozzie is definately good humor, as is Hawk Harrelson, the TV play-by-play guy. These two wear their emotions on their sleeves and melt-down when the Twins put the boots to them. Me and my posse prefer to listen to Hawk when the Twins play the Sox just to laugh at Hawk's angst. They both are memorable baseball personalities in my book.

Never listened to him call a game Buck.
You listen online somewhere?

He does the Sox TV play-by-play, so if you have Direct TV or Comcast just tune into the Sox feed and listen to him call it. After a while, you'll feel his pain when the Twins get ahead. The last year in the Dome, for instance, Hawk complained over and over how unfair that place had been to the Sox through the years. In the 2nd to last game played there the Twins won the game late and Hawk thought he was off the mike and muttered to himself, "God, I hate this place!" Me and my friends, drunk, of course, howled in delight, and we still talk about it today. Hawk's a beauty and a good announcer. Give him a try.

This year I'm just listening to the MLB radio feed. I'm in the Eastern Time zone and the 1-hr. time difference alone makes it hard to stay up for the games in Mpls. If the Twins are in Seattle it starts here at 10pm, no bueno!
At $200 per year, MLB TV works out to a little more than $1.00 per game but why spend $200 on Mlb TV if you don't watch all the games. So far the radio is not that bad.
I'm hoping that MLB TV goes to an "ala-carte" format where I can choose an individual game and just buy it. Even if I spent, say, $5.00 a game at least it'd be a game I would be able stay up for, or a game that I desperately wanted to watch.

JR - At 3-1, Hawk would be pretty giddy right now, but if the Twins come back late to tie, or go ahead, he'll get very morose. It's pretty funny!
Meanwhile, I ain't worried! Twins will win tonite!

You probably know me a little by now. I'm totally a glass 1/2 full guy. (Kinda wish I was in a Tiki Bar right now with a "full" glass.) Anyway, yeah, we're down by 4 now but it's really early. We can have a big inning too! Could be we'll win 10-9, who knows?

Shoulda got more than 1-run out of that bases loaded, no-outs situation, but did get 1-run. Maybe we'll get 'em over a barrel again next inning!
