If the Marlins hold on today, they will tie the club record of 17 wins in a month.

Hoping they do!

and yes by the way...... I now know that the Dodgers starters suck and I did Over estimate them last year based on their ERA's alone without looking at periphery stats and the ballpark factors


thanks polo!

NYY have hit three grand slams today against the A's which is an all time record for one team in one game, the previous record of two in one game has been done 69 times. Only twice before have two teams combined to have a total of three grand slams in a single game.

 

[Tron]

Very cool stat, sir

 

[Archie]

Wow

and they have a history of great grand slammers.... gehrig, Mattingly, Ruth, Jeter, Arod, Pat Kelly,

 

[Tron]

Good point Arch

They have THE man when it comes to grannies


The Lou
The Gehrig
The Iron Horse


I still can't believe that guy got ALS in his 30's


All you guys whining about running bad (and I've been guilty of it too).....

Lou Gehrig got ALS in his 30's. That is an all world cooler boys

 

[Archie]

yeah guy was the nicest man ever the say. had a nice wife, quiet life.... always in Ruth's shadow

Babe fucks, eats, and drinks EVERYTHING

fights, brawls, calls his HR shot

and Lou is the one that dies near his prime..... common God!!!


Ruth did get throat cancer later on... that couldn't have been a fun way to die

Throat cancer >>>>>>>> watching (with clarity because your brain works fine) all of your muscles atrophy over the course of 3-5 years before you ultimately die because you can't breath on your own and you weigh 40 pounds



Man, I'm so morbid. I really need to cut that shit out.

 

[roguejuror]
