take me out to the ball game!
take me out with the crowd!
buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks!
I don't care if I ever get back!
let me root,root,root for the Phillies!
if they don't win, its ashame!
for its one! two! three strikes you're out!
at the old ball game!

btw Anchor, if you've never seen it, I suggest you watch Ken Burn's baseball miniseries.   I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

It's pretty awesome that I drafted Halliday instead of you, Warb.

Damn - Lincecum put it on us tonight.  Struck out seven & pitched seven scoreless innings. Opening day and he was on.  He showed why he got back-to-back Cy Youngs alright.

Oops, Padres are playing the D-backs, right?  Who are the Giants playing right now...

...Houston??  You're an Astros fan?  Even worse!

It's not easy sometimes. ;-)

I listen to day games (like today) on XM. Maybe we can actually score a run today.

I thought you were a Yankees fan? Or are they your AL team?

btw, I mentioned this in the fantasy thread, but mlb.com offers audio of every single game (regular and post season, and from either team's announcers) for $20.  I listen to the day games with it.

I used to live in New York, so I still follow them. Truthfully though, after the Steinbrenner boys took over for the boss and they purchased their last World Series, I lost interest. I just can't get behind the new identity - jacked-up tickets, free agent spending that doubles most teams' entire payrolls, etc. I'll follow them only as long as Jeter & Pettitte are still on the team.

they didn't purchase the previous 5 or 6 World Series they won?

I've been to a few minor league games (Indianapolis Indians, Knoxville Smokies).

I was also in Eight Men Out.

No seriously, they filmed some of the ballpark scenes in Indianapolis, I'm in the crowd during one of the games, several times even as they couldn't fill the whole stadium.  I've never seen the movie or found myself in it, but I'm there.

Anybody have the DVD?  I can ask my mom what scenes we were there for.  Maybe we can find me.
