Ham? Is that really their name? Do they have a pig as a mascot?

Couldn't they have chosen a different name. :shakehead: Not every company has to be like Red Bull, I mean how many teams do they want with the same dumb name. :sweat:

I'd like to see them in a celebrity game against the Foo Fighters. :beaten:

Yanks beat the Phils, 8-5.

Game four tomorrow.

This is a fun World Series! :woot: I like it when there is a balanced tug-of-war between the two teams instead of one team dominating the other. :thumbsup:

Looks like it. :shakehead:

Congrats to Hideki Matsui, got another homerun. :applaud:

And in Japan, Nippon Ham decided to use Yu Darvish(use Yu Darvish, try to say that fast!), took game two from the Giants 4-2. :victory: [/list:u]

I think baseball in general... :sweat:

Maybe all sports. :sweat: :sweat:

Yankees take game four from the Phillies, 7-4.

Pretty remarkable top of the ninth, especially with Johnny Damon having the presence of mind to take an unguarded third base when stealing second... Maybe the play of the game. :victory:

So the Phillies' backs are to the wall, it's do-or-die because there's no tomorrow. But they just need to take it one game at a time because anything can happen in baseball.

I think I used up my "cliche quota" with that post. :mrgreen:

That was an exciting game! :woot: Perfect time to use the perfect baseball cliches! :thumbsup: :D

Well when the garbage commonly known as the NY Yankees :bleh: are involved, I couldn't care less. Honestly, had I not been watching the football game on Fox, I wouldn't have known there was a baseball game later on.

LOL. :hehe:

Thankfully, neither Johnny Damon or A-Rod used those cliches during their interviews. :victory:

"It ain't over 'till it's over!!!" :victory:

(I was saving that one in case the Phillies won tonight)

Well they did.... Back to New York. :sweat:

Utley lifted Philadelphia to an 8-6 win in Game 5 of the World Series with two home runs. Now, the series heads to New York for Wednesday's Game 6.

Any predictions for Weds game? :)

I think it's a must-win for the Yanks.

Still pulling for the Phillies, but except for Lee, they don't seem to have anybody else that get the Yankees out. :sweat:

Lee didn't do that well yesterday, giving up five runs... It's just that Burnett was worse.

Much worse. :bleh:

George W. Bush threw the opening pitch last night of Game 3 of the Japan Series. He had that infamous grin on his face. I couldn't tell what pitch he threw because it was very "deceptive". :beaten: Anyway, Yomiuri won 7-4 over the Ham Fighters. Game 4 tonight.

That's G-Dubya all right.
