I figured you have been watching the OKC playoffs. Your team is looking great. In the past they had to rely too much on Westbrook and Durant but they are getting good play from a number of players and Ibaka, Adams and Kanter have helped shore up the middle.
i guess you have been out there. My phone does not refresh everything while I am watching. My apologies. :)

I went to my first game during that 1974 season. I believe it was about this time of the year on a Saturday night. It was bat night.
That old stadium was garbage. I was so glad when they built the Ballpark. If it was those little bats my brother and I would hit wiffle balls with those things.

Hey, I was pretty close. I knew we played against Baltimore and that it was a sell out so I checked and it was June 1, 1974. We won 4-2 behind Jim Bibby. Harrah and Grieve hit home runs off of Dave McNally. It was Phone Call Foucault with the save. Great memories.

They were regular size bats at that time. A sold out crowd banging them on that metal flooring.

I do recall that but was never at one of those games. That would drive a person insane.

Yeah, I'm not nearly as big a thunder fan as I am a ranger fan, but it's still great to see they have a legitimate shot at bringing home the big one. I haven't had a championship team since 2000, though I wouldn't put a thunder championship up there with an OU football title or a Ranger WS title.

As a kid I loved it. I was 11 at the time. All of the adults I went with through the years didn't care for it though. They eventually started giving you a coupon and you had to pick the bat up at Minyards.

A Ranger WS would be the ultimate for me as well. I would be buying every piece of WS memorabilia out there.

I was at the game. I got to see the weird obnoxious fat black chick who Knox always gives time to during Rangers live. Will be a long drive home, but no work tomorrow. Looks like Mazara could be special.

Glad you got to go and see them win.

Not really. I'd love him back for one more year on a QO, if he continues to produce.

You didn't get what I meant by that. The better he is the less likely we are to keep him.

Then again...remember when we said the same thing about Alex Rios and he came back and was dog shit?

No, I understood you just fine. I don't think there's a place for him here next year regardless of his performance. There's no "double edged sword" here.

No place for him? He's arguably the best position player on the roster right now.
