I figured we could use a sports discussion thread.

So who saw last nights Texas Baltimore game? The rangers scored 30 runs, it was absolutely amazing.

It was the most runs scored in the MLB in 110 years.

Couple of other amazing feats:
Brandon Webb's scoreless streak ends at 42 innings
Tim Wakefield is now 12-2 against the D-Rays, while being 10-0 at Tropicana Stadium.
The Yankees still suck

The knuckle ball does +1000 damage against the Devil Rays.

And 30 runs? HOLY CRAP!

Wake's a great guy but he really does go under the radar, he's got 15 wins but his name's almost never in the news. The same thing happened to Mike Timlin these last couple years setting up for Foulke and Papelbon.

That's a good point. So, do you have anymore statistics of that crazy 30 run game? I wonder if they broke anymore records.

The # 8 and 9 hitter drove in 7 runs apiece.
The funny thing is that it was a doubleheader and the Rangers scored another 9 runs in the night game for a total of 39 which sets and AL record.

Baseball scores too little is cricket quality game btw you can score up to 500 runs in a 50 over and in a test until all your player are out

Baseball scores too few runs? There's a reason why football (soccer) is the least popular sport in the states. Besides, Baseball is THE American sport.

really? I thought football ( In an American voice) Is the favored sport of America and btw Football ( Not American) Is the most popular sport in the world

American football is the most popular sport. Baseball, however, is the true American sport. And I'm not denying that Football (normal football) is the most popular sport in the world.. I know this.

Cool, cool what about Ice Hockey

RED WINGS

I'm definitely a Bruins fan, but to be honest.. I don't really like hockey.

Baseball is one of those sports that's just not exciting unless you've played it before/you're an active player.

The same thing goes for rowing. I'd much rather watch a rowing 8 sprint a 2k then watch an inning of a football/baseball/soccer game.

But on the topic of football, my precious Seahawks got annihilated last saturday(sunday?)...

Guy - I LOVE rowing. I'm probably not as adept at it as you, but my dream was to actually be a part of a rowing team in college. Alas - no rowing teams at the UofA.

Didn't Pedroia go to U of A?

Should've gone to Arizona State . They have a pretty good crew from what i've heard.

I'm hoping to row at the UofW in the future and move on to national level. I can only hope.

Rowing is a really fun sport, despite what it looks like on TV or on videos. It's alot more then moving back and forth, and being on the water and trying to find the perfect stroke is kind of relaxing... Also it's harder then alot of sports !


edit: pedroia went to AZ state.

You're lucky to be on a team like that, I'm stuck as a relief pitcher and had 3 2/3 innings over the last 10 games. I've got a 0.00 ERA though.

I like rowing it's alright. I go to see the Oxford and Cambridge rowing thingy ma jig when I can

Yeah, I think Pedroia did go to ASU.

Seriously, I love rowing and other boat-like sports. It's just so zen-like to me. And it's freaken great for the upper body.

Beckett's going for win 16 tonight, go sox!

Who are we playing against tonight, Dave?

Chicago, I'm going to the Wake game on Saturday.

what bulls?

The white sox.

ok Giants Rule

They most certainly do not rule.

Why do you even like the Giants, CDK?

Yeah i love San Francisco teams

Giants
49ers

Really? And you live in England, right?

Correct

Man, the least you could do is like the Dodgers, they've got D-Lowe.

Na i love San Fran they rule

It's because of Bonds isn't it?

The Dodgers are kind of like the Red Sox part deux - with all of the ex sox players over there.

Its definately them and the Pads, what with both Lucchino and Epstein being from San Diego.

Gary Bonds?

no it's because of Joe Montana

Montana was a football player, I'm talkin about you liking the Giants.

Ok well i like the 49ers too

Pedroia's not in the lineup tonight, wonder if he got hurt bad from taking that shot last night.

What shot?

He got hit in the elbow last game against the D-Rays.

Those sons of bitches.

Wake got his 16th win and I got a signed Pedroia ball, yesterday was a good day indeed.

One word: Rugby

*does the haka*

You wanna get all full contact like that go for Muay Tai (Thai martial art) or Pankration (Greek all-purpose unarmed combat).

Muay Tai scares me I tell you this right now. But Rugby is about the team over the single player and the Haka is just one reason why the All Blacks are so kick ass.

BoSox swept, and the Tigers won over the Yanks, so the Sox have a 7.5 game lead right now. The series this week should be fun the way Boston's been hitting.

Think we're going to do well in the Bronx?

After Detroit's game that went 'til 3:30 am? Yeah, I think so.

I'm upset because my right knee hurts for no particular reason whenever I extend my leg. This makes it hard to run, skate, do normal activities, and most importantly rowing.

SUCKAGE. My parents won't even spend the money on a knee brace for me, so I probably have to buy it on my own.

Knee injuries are always a bitch. I would know.

Well, hopefully Ortiz and Lowe do some damage!
