New Scaratings

God Damn, how do you know all of this stuff...? I've accused you of being a cyborg that has been programmed to know everything on an another thread tonight. I'm starting to think that the joke just might not be a joke...

p.s. Boy, he really choaked up on the bat.

I had to copy and paste this post from another thread on the "ScaRatings" after Liljol made a post that said the Boston Red Sox were the "Evil Empire". Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Here's the post (or most of it):

Liljol is banned for not knowing what team is really the evil empire. Without question the New York Yankees are the evil empire.



I truly believe that George Steinbrenner was actually the Devil, and bought the souls of the players he got to sign with the Yankees.



Here are two links where you can join in with others, who think that Steinbrenner was the Devil:

p.s. Liljol never replied to my bebutal on the other thread. Maybe be will here...?

THE NEW YORK YANKEES ARE THE EVIL EMPIRE...!

Well, I think the Yankees are the most evil of empires, but I also consider the Dallas Cowboys to be Evil Empire #2. This is the wrong thread to discuss them any further, but at least their cheerleaders are cute.

Of course...! Everyone knows that the New York Yankees are The Evil Empire.

Liljol, you may have overlooked my question, or I may have missed your reply, but when did you become a Giants fan? Was it back when they were playing at the Polo Grounds, or after they they moved to the West Coast?

Im watching the Giants vs. Brewers right now. I love the MLB Extra Innings.

Cards beat the Pirates 6-4 so I hope the Giant wins.

Who was the only modern day pitcher to throw back to back no hitters in the big leagues?

Here is the hidden answer:

Johnny Vander Meer, Cincinnati Reds, mid '30's. The second no -hitter was also the first night game ever played in Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.

Just left click on your mouse, hold it down, and drag it through the open space above.

(I know that SPOTES, Liljol, and a bunch of you other know-it-all guys won't have to do this.)

Shit, I can't see it. How the Hell can you?

Hell, if everbody else can see the hidden answers, I guess I will have to stop putting them up there.

p.s. Thanks for not giving the answer away.

Cloudy, if you go back in this thread to 6/25 you'll see you've already asked about Johnny Vander Meer which LILJOL answered.

BO

Well, then you should know the answer.

Seeing that you have spilled the beans, I guess I might as well put his picture up here.



p.s. How in the world can you remember this stuff? I sure as Hell can't.

p.p.s. It's frightening when somebody else remembers what you have done better than you do. I guess I'm old enough to blame senility.

It's a long way to go. Don't count the Red Sox out yet. They might surprise you...

Is that a still from "Fever Pitch"?

How many MLB teams have lost a 3-0 lead in the playoffs?

BO

I don't know, but here is a David Ortiz video:

Umm, I'll pass on thst...

CC Sabathia= Red Sox bp pitcher

"Big Popi" (Big Poppy) did it tonight, as the Red Sox beat the Twins. His Texas Leager hit pretty much won the game for the Red Sox. Yep, Boston might not make it to the World Series, but don't count them out yet...!



If any of you out there don't already have a favorite baseball team, I ask you to consider the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox are an underdog team, with a chance to beat the evil empire Yankees.

_________________

The Red Sox were chosen by most people around here to finish first in the AL East, so I wouldn't classify them as underdogs.

Frankly, I like the Sox and despise the Yankees. But here in Connecticut that's all one ever seems to hear about. Of course, it doesn't help that the Mets are boldly plowing through yet another season of mediocrity. But even if the Mets were one of baseball's strongest teams, in Connecticut they would barely be noticed (except for the 10% of us who follow them, of course.)

Where in Connecticut do you live...? Hell, I was born in New Haven. Though the family moved, and I lived in Upstate New York, in my younger years, I spent evey summer at my grandfather's house on Long Island Sound in West Haven, and at my other grandfather's home in Haddam. Later on in years, I had a girlfriend, Nancy Johnson, who lived in Milford on Bayberry Lane. I spent the spring semester and summer school at Mitchell College in New London in 1968. I could go on, but suffice it to say that I have many fond memories of the times I was in Connecticut.

p.s. I need to go back to the Peabody Museum at Yale one more time before I die.
