After not being able to score practically any runs, the Giants exploded at Coors Field last night, culminating in an extra innings grand slam that won the game. I think it was 9 home runs total and every run in the game was scored on a dinger. Amazing.

LOL! Yeah, the Cubs still suck! But they are so loveable! And they play in Wrigley Field!

I favor the DH. I don't go to a football game to watch a punter throw passes or block for a running back--he's a specialist. Pitchers are not trained to be hitters when they are in the professional system, and I'd rather see someone at the plate that is trained. The same goes for when a position player takes the mound. It CAN turn out good, but it's not what they are there to do. I have proposed--on boards like this, not to anyone that can actually make a change--that the DH be modified to where you can use a player to pinch-hit for a pitcher, but the pitcher can stay in the game. That player, however, is done for the day. So, in the second inning, if there are 2 on and 1 out, a manager would have to decide if he wanted to use one of his bench players. If it was leading off the third, he might let his pitcher bat. More strategy, more places to second guess the manager. That said, it is fun when something like what you linked happens. JcS

or did that incident happen more recently?? Yes, the "fan" incident happened more recently. The Padres did beat the Cubs back in 1984. By the way, why was that series only a 5 game series instead of the usual 7 game. I can understand the wild card games being 5 games, but not a championship series.
