[Got Philk?]

30 runs! Wow!

 

[No spoken words]

Joba.

 

[Hewson]

Joba.

The Hut

 

[U2democrat]

I just watched the highlights of that Balt-Tex game.


HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!


It was on TV here last night because we get all the baltimore games but I'm not a Baltimore fan so I didn't watch (instead I watched the Nationals lose ).

30-3!!! They should invoke the slaughter rule on that one

 

[zonelistener]

I was at work and I checked mlb.com on my blackberry to see some of the scores...I was convinced this was a blackberry problem until I actually saw that it truly was 30-3.

 

[No spoken words]

I see 24-6 or something, and I'm like "wow, what a beating", but, seeing 30 runs is fucking surreal.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Try to translate 30-3 into a football or basketball score.

Football: Like 96-3

Basketball: Like 185-90

Unbelievable what happened last evening.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the average baseball team scores about 4 runs per game.. the average football team scores 20.

so that game translated into football terms would make it about 150-14... roughly.

basketball would be about 400-70.

I could see the Patriots beating some team by that much this year. <grin>

OK, not really.

Highest I could see a football score going is the 50s or 60s -- it would go against the code to go higher than that.

Didn't the Bears win a playoff game 73-0 back in the day?

And If I recall, Neil Lomax' college squad (Portland State I think) once scored over 100.

 

[phanan]

Wow, Neil Lomax. There's a blast from the past.

 

[Hewson]

If randhail can pull Phil Plantier out at any given moment, then you must be on the lookout for the occasional Neil Lomax or Gary Hogeboom from me.

 

[trevster2k]

The funniest thing about the box score from last night is Wes Littleton got the save in a 30-3 game. His second of the season but he met the criteria.

The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:

(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
(2) He is not the winning pitcher;
(3) He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and
(4) He satisfies one of the following conditions:

(a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches at least one inning;
(b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces); or
(c) He pitches for at least three innings.

Thank God Wes Littleton was there or else the Rangers may have lost that game!

A well-earned save. <laughing>

They ought to revisit the rules.

 

[BEAL]

My braves suck.

Smoltz and Hudson have to pitch every other day.

Still a chance I guess, but unlikely.

 

[zonelistener]

Wow, Neil Lomax. There's a blast from the past.

His son is playing in the Little League World Series.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

The Mariners are liking playing in Texas right now. A 7-run inning to go up 8-3, awesome! That ballpark is seeing some hitting this week!

 

[No spoken words]

Yeah. Awesome. Shit.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Yeah. Awesome. Shit.

Are you the Yankees fan?

<devilish grin>

Mwahahaha!

 

[No spoken words]

I am A Yankee fan, not THE Yankee fan. Then again, in this thread, I'm the only real Yankee fan. Mr. Pryck roots for all NY teams, so he's disqualified.

I will hate Seattle forever for what happened in 1995, regardless of the Yanks giving Seattle the boot from the playoffs in 2000 and 2001. Sad part is I love the city of Seattle, but hate the Mariners and hate the Seahawks for their whining after SB XL.

That all being said, Ichiro is my favorite non-Yankee.

1995 was loads of fun! That was the year that Seattle baseball really arrived. But you certainly have gotten us back since then.

I'm glad you guys have A-Rod -- it's fun hating on him with the Yankees. <wink>

I'd have to say that Ichiro is my favorite non-Yankee too! The guy is, like, timeless. From another time, another place. He's the Bruce Lee of baseball. The Zen Master.

I've got to tip my cap to you - I've never heard of either one of those guys. Well done reaching into the way back machine.

 

[No spoken words]

Never heard of Lomax or Hogeboom?

Hewson, that makes me feel oldm what about you?

Lomax probably debuted in the NFL when you were just born, Randhail. He was actually a decent QB, just on a horrid team. It was pretty much him and Otis Anderson, and 20 stiffs. I think they were 9-7 in 83 or 84, crummy for his other years.

 

[Hewson]

Hewson, that makes me feel oldm what about you?

Age is state of mind, I have the mental outllook of a 17 year old, so all is good.

And Hogeboom should be well known to people these days after his stint as Gary Hawkins on Survivor a couple of years ago.

 

[Hewson]

That ballpark is seeing some hitting this week!

The Rangers scored their 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals on the road at Baltimore's Camden Yards.

 

[phanan]

Baltimore hasn't seen that kind of production in its area for a while. The Ravens haven't scored 30 points since 2005.

 

[MrPryck2U]

"Ichiro is the Bruce Lee of baseball."

Great line! I love Ichiro. He plays the game right.

Seattle is a good team, but I'm hoping for a total Angel collapse. I'd much rather see the Yanks play Seattle then the Angels. They pretty much own the Yanks.

you're just a walking contradiction my friend

Hey, I'm hoping for a total Angel collapse, too!

But I'd rather Seattle face the Angels ... as the Yankees pretty much own the Mariners in the playoffs.

But hey - the good news is that Seattle is only 1 game behind the Angels in the AL West! I think that's the closest we've been all season!
