Just once, I'd LOVE to see a baseball player do an impression from that Saturday Night Live baseball interview skit:

"Baseball been very very good to me..." :rofl:


Or if a player would do a joke impression of the prepared interview that Crash taught Nuke to say in Bull Duhram:

"I'm just glad to be here. We gotta play it one day at a time..." :hehe: :rofl:



Play Ball!

AHAHAH naw, but with his name being Johnny and the hair being the way it is as well as the beard, who couldn't help but make the connection :hehe: :hehe:

Hmm, I guess no one give a poop about the NLCS... :hehe:


If anyone cares, the Cards won 5-2....


A rematch from 1967: Cardinals and Red Sox.. Gibson vs. Yazstremski... :D

Awww....I was hoping for Astros vs. Red Sox. It would be nice to see Clemens against his former team.

Not me. I despise the guy... I don't like the Cards that much, either, but I despise Clemens... :bleh:

I REALLY don't like Clemens, but I respect his accomplishments nonetheless.

His work ethic and love of the game is also laudable... how many pro athletes have anywhere near the same?

I am so glad Clemens got the loss. The Yankees lost, Clemens lost this is turning out to be an o.k. Baseball Playoff season. :applaud: Now if only the Cards can win it all I will be satisfied.

I like the Cards since they're coached by Tony La Russa, Dave Duncan, and other former Oakland A's coaches. But I still want to see The Curse finally broken.

I like the story of the curse. I think it would be a shmae to loose it. Plus I don't like teams that buy their way to the World Series by picking up expensive free agents. I tend to cheer on the smaller market teams. Plus I would love to see Tony LaRusa and Dave Duncan win it all.

Isn't there a curse in Chicago-land with the Cubs? The curse of the goat? Link

Yup, the Billy Goat curse they generally call that one.

But THE CURSE is the Curse of Babe Ruth, belonging to the Red Sox.

Red Sox draw first blood, 11-9. The winning home run by Mark Bellhorn was a duplicate of the two-run jack he hit in game 7 against the Yankees: a shot down the right field line, resulting in a thundering crash as the ball hit the foul pole fence... Whoa.

Go Red Sox! 11-9, nice scoring game. I expect high scores in this series :D

Man, Mark Bellhorn hasn't done poop in the playoffs, but now he's hit three home runs in each of the last three games for the Bosox... :applaud:

Woo Hoo!! Bosox take game two, 6-2... Another outstanding performance by Curt Schilling... No homers today, but a two-run double by Mark Bellhorn...

Now it's on to St. Louis. :D

Well, now that the Yankees are out, most of the reporters have gone home, since they were largely following the exploits of Godzilla (Hideki Matsui).

At least they can report back to Japan that it wasn't Godzilla's fault:
