I would love to go to a Seattle game when I have the money and the time, well i would like to go to all the stadiums and maybe watch a NY/BOS game

Let's face it: Fenway and Yankee III may be priced out of our brackets. I'm afraid Wrigley may be on that path as well.

The two stadiums I DO want to check out are Safeco in Seattle and Whatever-Tech Park in SF.

Yep, everyone (well, not really -- just the baseball people) was all aflutter on Twitter due to Nomar's bit on ESPN "Baseball Tonight."

Someone on Fangraphs (FANGRAPHS!) was on. Whereupon the recently-retired Garciaparra quipped: "there's no stat for heart."

You can imagine the response...

Predictions have been predictable.

Gotta wait 6 months to see if the MLB becomes more like the NBA. Forgone conclusion. Might get some tweaks to the playoffs if that happens.

The only lost causes are complete idiots like Colin Cowherd.

I believe with all my heart that any performance of "God Bless America" during a baseball game is a sin against humanity. Also means the terrorists have won.

I'm already bracing myself right now for the onslaught of Conan ads on TBS during this year's MLB playoffs.

On the other hand: Conan > Frank TV > George Lopez.

^ damn TBS!! We'll soon be seeing him at Braves games?

Man, what a great moment for Matsui. None of his championships with the Giants in Tokyo could have prepared him for this: a goddamn Yankee ring. And louder cheers than even Capt. Jeter. A World Series MVP does that kind of shit.

And yeah, a phony ring in the box... Even Swisher got a phony one, wonder what it looked like.

Oh-for-five at the plate, though. Ouch!
