goodluck finding the game online bro
mlb.tv
No sorry I solely watch the Yankees.
Well i cant really deliberate of any other place but MLB.com. but maybe after that on some one would post the game on youtube or if you want to know what hapened within todays game, afterwards just study the highlights on ESPN or on FSN's the Final Score. I could just give an account you thay the A's lost :( 4-0. Hernandez was unhittable today, he simply allowed 4hits! and just for a dumb ERROR that CROSBY made, we deeply lost the game for that. B/c Crosby have an opportunity to get the DP but wasnt competent to catch the orb, so the bases finished up being loaded. After that Ibanez hit a SF that score Ichiro and after that Sexson hit a 3R HR, and that was it for us. But oh okay good lick finding that video.
GO A's!!
George brett hit 390 , why dont we hear almost rod carew hitting 388?
Answers:
Daaahhh!! .390 is better than .388
I never hear about any one of them. They`re 2 of the best 10 hitters in the concluding 100 years, we should hear more about both of them.
1. 390 is superior than 388
2. Brett had more publicity next to the "pine tar" incident.
3. Carew did not talk to the medium near as much as Brett did.
okay, we really don't hear any of them. geroge Brett was more recent than rod carew, and itz people's choice who the want to chitchat about. Also, .30 is better than .388 so its only just up to people I guess.
Because Brett hit for a complex average than Carew, so Brett's .390 remains the highest average since Ted Williams hit .406 surrounded by 1941. Had Brett not hit .390, we'd be hearing of Carew's .388 more commonly. Also, Brett drove in 118 runs surrounded by 117 games that year (he missed time with injury). I be a kid then but remember audible range about it every hours of darkness on the news. He be amazing that season.
As for "fightingsaint's" arguments. Brett hit .390 in 1980, the Pine Tar incident be in 1983, so that's not why we hear more something like Brett.
Also, Brett did not go out of his approach to talk to reporters, they sought him out. I remember during the 1980 season Brett individual hounded by reporters and becoming frustrated by them. It's not like he talk to them because he wanted to.
We hear plenty roughly them if you are listening within the right places.
As mentioned, .390 > .388, and Brett's big season was slightly more recent as powerfully.
But also -- Brett was still at .400 on September 19 (season finished on October 6), whereas Carew last saw .400 on July 10 (season concluded October 2).
Rod stayed in the .380s for most of the rest of the season, slumping briefly to .374 but surging a bit at the call a halt to reach his .388 final sitting duck. A sterling season to be sure, but he never really threatened .400 again.
Whereas George gave fan and media a frank chase for the elusive .400, joking until very postponed in the season. Much more exciting, much more appealing.

First Ballot HOF?
Question:Out of these players on the downside of their career who do you reflect will be First Ballot HOFers.
Tom Glavine, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Mariano Rivera, Roger Clemens, Frank Thomas, Julio Franco, etc. Feel free to add your own players as you aspiration.
Answers:
I think Glavine, Johnson, Maddux, Smoltz and Clemens are adjectives defenitely first ballot hall of famers.
Mariano Rivera will probably capture in.
I'm up contained by the air just about Frank Thomas making it at all.
I love Julio Franco, but there's no road he makes the HOF.
Rivera
Maddux
Glavine
Smoltz
Clemens
Rivera and Clemens will be 1st ballot.
Johnson, Glavine, Smoltz, Maddux, and Thomas will be contained by, but not 1st ballot (although they should be).
Franco might not get within.
Rivera
Maddux
Smoltz
Clemens
Big Unit
In a few years:
Jeter
Rodriguez
Man Ram
I know I'm missing people, but this is in recent times off the top of my leader.
The obvious first ballot go to Clemens and Rivera. Maddux, Glavine, and Johnson own been surrounded by the game long adequate to compile the stats that give them the first ballot as ably. Smoltz will be questionable, probably depending on how he finishes out his career. I don't reflect on that the big hurt, Frank Thomas, will get contained by at all, and Julio Franco have even less of a luck than him.
Greg Maddux
Roger Clemens
Mariano Rivera
Randy Johnson
Tom Glavine
Barry Bonds (as bad as i abominate to)
johnson
maddux
rivera
ricky henderson
Glavine, Johnson, Maddux, Rivera, Clemens, Biggio, Griffey, A-Rod, would all be first ballot guys if they retired today. Smoltz and Thomas will bring in it in as ably, but not on the first ballot.
Clemens, Maddox, Glavine are definite first ballot HOFs. But what's your definition of downside of occupation? I would say adjectives of those guys are less important now than contained by their prime, except Smoltz. I would argue that out of all those pitchers, Smoltz and Clemens are still as significantly effective very soon as they were contained by their prime. But since everybody knows when Clemens take a dump nowadays, I'll argue on Smoltz's behalf... Since '05 (returning to the rotation) he's have two great seasons which he's won 14 and 16 games near a faulty bullpen who blew more than 6 games for him respectively year... meaning he probably would own been a 20 win pitcher near a sub 3.50 ERA. In '05 he had 169 Ks, '06 he have 211 Ks, not to mention logging well over 200 IP... daunting for someone in the "downside" of his profession. If he hadn't become a closer he'd be nearing his 300th win instead of 200th. However a +200 win, 154 save, 3.27 ERA, +2800 K, one Cy Young job is definitely first ballot worthy, but I quality like he won't procure in until his second or third... hopefully I'm wrong and he'll draw from the respect he deserves.
Maddux and Clemens are definite first ballot HOF'ers. I imagine many relations are forgetting how dominating Maddux was surrounded by the 90's. Rivera should also be a first ballot but i don't know about the others (as far as first ballot at least). Other first ballot HOF'ers: Derek Jeter (most promising a 3,000 hit club member too), Alex Roderiguez, Ken Griffey Jr. (remeber how great the kid be? MVP awards, multiple gold gloves, power, and NOONE is enquiring whether he did it naturally or not), Pudge Roderiguez... i'm sure in that are more but those are my slam dunk guys.
Tom Glavine, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Mariano Rivera, Roger Clemens are first ballot hall of famers. You give the impression of being to be forgetting Ken Griffy Jr. He was the adjectives decade performer contained by the '90s as the best player of the '90s both offensively and defensively playing centerfield while a associate of the Mariners. He is hitting his stride again after the injury bug has plagued him. He is an elder player as well on the down side of his occupation. And his swing is classic.
I think Clemens, Mariano, Greg Maddux, and Randy Johnson. Julio will never receive there and Glavine adjectives he has is 300 win i don't think he will be a 1st ballot but probably 2nd ballot. Thomas may seize in if he get 500 but it's not certain.
Glavine
Johnson
Maddux
Rivera
Clemens
From your schedule, and barring any negative information coming to lantern (no, I have no insights near, but McGwire got a mighty smackdown):
First ballot -- Clemens, Maddux, Johnson, and Thomas. The three pitchers are ridiculously overqualified for Cooperstown.
Should be first ballot, but would probably require too much thought on the parts of the writers: Glavine.
First ballot return depends on whether relievers enjoy begun to win due respect: Rivera
Gets in sometime between 2nd-5th ballot: Smoltz.
Not Hall material: Franco.
Now that Ripken is contained by, I think Clemens is the with the sole purpose reasonable competitor for a unanimous induction vote by the writers. I don't think he will take 100%, but of all the forseeable candidate over the next ten years, he'd be the one. (It surely won't be Bonds.)
Of those players I would utter Maddux, Johnson and Clemens are first ballot guaranteed. Glavine and Smoltz have a shot but sure could use a battle. Rivera needs to save up his pace for a few more years. Thomas is only another Edgar Martinez. Franco doesn't have the numbers.
Who is the best gone foot pitcher of adjectives time?
Question:who is the best black left mitt pitcher of all time?
Answers:
With the answers you enjoy received it is obvious the query was misunderstood by lots.
If you are narrowing the best left-handed pitcher to the best black left-handed pitcher, the best all time is Vida Blue beside Bob Veale finishing second.
Vida Blue 209-161 3.27 2175 K's
Bob Veale 120-98 3.07 1703 K's
I'd go beside Steve Carlton.
Sandy koufax.
Sandy Koufax but my favorite was Carlton. Wow. I can't construe of a great black lefty. Dontrelle Willis is actually the best I can surmise of but I must be missing some.
Fergie Jenkins
simple --Vida Blue the lynchpin of the A's of the 70' and the veteran leader of the giant in the impulsive 80's
PS fergie jenkins was a righty.
Sandy Koufax, no contest
Kouafax
Sandy Koufax is the best, followed by Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton, and within a few years, most likely Johan Santana.
Lefty Grove
Career .680 successful percentage.
Sandy Koufax - Best five year period of any pitcher within history.
Warren Spahn - Most wins by a departed handed pitcher, 363.
Steve Carlton - First pitcher to win 4 CY Yound Awards. Over 4000 K's.
Meaning no disrespect to Mr. Koufax, his copy is inflated by two important factor. One, he pitched at a time when baseball heavily favored pitchers. In 1968 the average NL scored just about 3.62 runs per game, roughly 30% less offense than today's team game. Two: Koufax pitched in the best 'pitcher's park' within baseball, the LA Dodgers Stadium.
Koufax pitched 2324 innings and won 165 games.
Randy Johnson has pitched 3798 innings & won 280 games.
Lefty Grove pitched 3940 innings and won 300 games.
Steve Carlton pitched 5217 innings and won 329 games.
Warren Spahn pitched 5243 innings and won 363 games.
Who you gonna appropriate? I'll take the guys near 3000 more innings.
I'm sure that people will bring up Koufax's arthritis, which shortened his profession. But two other pitchers on the list also have circumstances that limited their career. Lefty Grove didn't pitch in the pros until he be twenty-seven, because he was owned by a minor league club, the Orioles, who didn't want to supply him. Warren Spahn also didn't get a full-time shot within the majors until he was 27, because of World War 2.
The best lefties, as I'd degree 'em:
Grove
Carlton
Spahn
Johnson
Koufax
I respect the hell outta Koufax, but he wasn't the greatest lefty of all-time.
Sandy Koufax...
Lefty
It's going to be Johan Santana or Randy Johnson.
Best Lefty - Sandy Koufax
Best Black Lefty - Vida Blue
Best left-hander was Warren Spahn. Best black left-hander---- don`t know.
