I think this is the year the Cardinals will win all 162 games.

No, cricket is. This is from my days back in America and maybe if I return.

Do you get to see any MLB games in India?

On ESPN. But given the time difference, I either have to stay up or get up early. I just catch the news these days. Old habits die hard.

I used to record a couple of games on DVR a week, but no longer. That stupid rule about a walk requiring four balls to be thrown but no longer if it's on purpose really put me off. Sounds petty, but I just see it as the introduction of a whole pile of other gimmicks that are sure to be introduced into the game in the name of attracting a younger audience.

Yeah I was steamed on that rule too. There were games won and lost on a pitcher tossing a bad intent ball and the other team scoring the game winning run.

Rangers won a huge come from behind game two years ago on a wild intent ball.

I wonder why I didn't get your ping? Anyway "Go Rangers".

You want to use this thread or start a separate Texas Rangers thread?

Speaking of Anto9us how's he doing I haven't heard anything about him in a long time, ever since he went to have surgery.

Hey @Anto9us you are being summoned.

Anto9us LIVES !!

Hoping to put off any further surgeries until after the Millennium

I am in Waco living with my son -- hoping the Baylor Lady Bears will win another national championship -- they are currently #2 in the nation behind, who else, UConn.

Thanks for thinkin about me

What is your assessment of the Rangers rotation? Too many has been re-treads?

 

[Anto9us]

I am afraid "too many has been retreads" may be pretty accurate

 

[Anto9us]

I should be more optimistic. I think Hamels is pitching against Brewers right now.

But I am listening to Baylor Men's basketball -- the men did not make the big dance - they are in the NIT

Then again the Rangers have Jon "the Moron" Daniels as the GM.

The Fire Jon Daniels Club approves this message.
