Great instructional video of a Beltran swing broken down frame by frame:

I will try to be there as well.

I'd prefer Willard as well.

When is SQ scheduled to take place? Maybe the participants could meet for BP beforehand.

Some are restin' in peace and some are sittin' in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin' to carry on tradition...

I could go on Saturday 3/3, but I'm out of town for the two subsequent Saturdays. Sounds like fun.

I'm so pissed I missed this game. Looking at the box score, I don't see how anyone but Matt could be the player of the game. Chad should get some bonus points for knocking in the winning run, but not nearly enough to make up for Matt's huge advantage in production and fielding. 7 for 8 with two doub...

How quickly you forget my 1st inning opposite field blast.

1) Great view of the bay
2) Sun behind outfielders
3) Nice green hitting backdrop
4) No holes in batter's box
5) Well-manicured grass infield
6) HRs are feasible
7) Quality infield dirt
Hard to lose baseballs
9) Right next to the freeway
10) Good mound/rubber

I have no life.

Well, I'm targeting the girlie-man demographic, so I really don't see the contradiction.

If anyone is looking for a bat, I'm currently auctioning one on eBay. It's a sweet bat in very good condition. There are 2 days left and no bids, so you might be able to swoop in and get it on the cheap. Shipping would be free, of course. Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a...

This sucks royal dick! Isn't there enough available industrial space in downtown Oakland to build a new stadum and a fruity "baseball village?"

Broken kneecap and pulled ligaments? Boo-fucking-hoo! When I was your age, I pitched both games of a doubleheader with a ruptured appendix, a collapsed lung, and a shattered right arm. The next day I hit two grand slams after my scrotum fell off from leprosy. Tough it out you big pussy!

Hey guys, great game yesterday. Here's hoping Pat's knee heals quickly. Season 4 ends soon (exact date, Scott?), and due to more live games, the challenge game, and some weak turnout there are far fewer games on the books than expected. The weather is also about to change for the worse. What all thi...

Well said, Dave. Going into the challenge game, we expected a tense battle and wanted to put our best possible team on the field. The game, however, turned out to be more a fun exhibition than a fight for supremacy. I think our subsequent contests should be geared toward inclusivity and not toward v...
