No troubles, I feel your pain

No matter what happens in this series, the Orioles are better than the Royals

Just look at the lineups. Our only advantage (and it’s a big one) is we play in the Central, they play in the East. I think the Royals would lose 110 if they were in the East.

Someone needs to tell Wilson that the run doesn't count on a walk

It's not classic if it doesn't start with two outs.

So teams can use the bullpen before they're down by 4 runs?

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

if you put something in the subject line, you can click on it and the picture will be collapsed

so it doesn’t take up so much space.

You can also adjust the size of any picture so it doesn’t take up so much room….in between “<img” and “src” just type “height=300” in parenthesis (or whatever number you want). Then preview it to see if it’s what you want.

OT Did it bug anyone else as a kid when they would show George Brett hitting RH?

Starting Lineup and RBI baseball on Nintendo both did this
