I went to an Astros game with my two friends this past Monday, and I just had to share with you guys what we put on our posters:

"Comeback starts...NOW!!"

It started out as an optimistic view of the season, since even the basement Astros look for a comeback shortly after the All-Star Break. But when our guys blew a 3-2 lead to give up 7 runs in the ninth (ugh), it became quite fitting for the game, as well. There we were in the bottom of the ninth, waving our posters and cheering while the stadium was more than half empty and people continued to file out. No, that's not diehard, that's foolish. lol

But anyway, that was my tribute to my BBC friends - what has become a popular motto around here. wink

That's awesome Gina! And it's not foolish, it really is diehard.

Foolish would be if I held up that poster at a Giants game.

I just might!

Thanks, Geoff! I'm sitting here trying to decide which looks better, Yankeean v. Yankeian, and I think I like 'Yankeian' more. lol

No, we did NOT end up on TV!! We were sitting high up, but I know the cameras could've found us. What my friend and I have decided is that we need to wear blonde wigs and talk on our cell phones, because I swear, those are the only people they show on the TV broadcasts. (Me, bitter? whistle )

You should!! To be safe, you could put on the back what my friend jokingly added to the back of ours at the end: a question mark. Comeback starts...? haha

And we had the phrase on two posters, one saying "Comeback starts..." and one saying "NOW!!", so we figured the "NOW!!" could go for anything. Strike him out...NOW!! Hit a double...NOW!! Stop losing...NOW!!

Once a year I go to a Phillies game with my brother-in-law, who is a doctor and gets tickets from a pharmaceutical co. for seats directly behind home plate. One year I called my daughter at home to put the game on as we are on tv for the entire game. I told her I was on tv and she said, "Well, I'm watching something else right now. Can you call back later?"

Anyway, I enjoyed those seats at old Vets' Stadium where only a one inch panel of plexiglass separated me from Terry Francona and then Larry Bowa. I was practically in the dugout.

Oh no Klyd, you're not one of those guys who sits on his cell phone the whole game and waves at the camera behind home plate are you? wink

I could never afford those tickets, but in the old days at Candlestick we would just move down to those seats because they were empty or people would leave because it was too cold. It really was amazing seeing how fast that ball was pitched up close. It always made me think twice when I wanted to get mad at a batter who would strikeout with runners in scoring position.

lol lol

No, I'm not. At Citizen's Bank Park, those areas where the fans are within regular tv background have signs warning you to limit cell phone use. The new stadiums bring fans much closer to the action and consequently, much closer to the tv angles, especially the camera angles of the batter from the first or thirdbase dugout cameras.

That last "29" may not stand up.... the ESPN site shows the ps gave up one earned run BUT the box score shows they gave up FOUR earned runs.

You must be CS' good luck charm! Now his Cubbies have pushed off the Brewers who were getting uncomfortably close in the standings. Or maybe he needs to be thanking JG for his jinx help.

Oh wait, what am I saying??!! CS doesn't care about any of this! He's an Astros fan!! grin
(Or Yankee fan...in case SB sees this. whistle )

I've been thinking about this a while now, and if by chance my boys don't make their incredible late-run comeback that I'm counting on (until we're mathematically out, by gosh!), and supposing it's still Chicago and Milwaukee fighting it out, I think I'd rather see the Cubs come out on top. I've developed a great distaste for Ryan Braun after seeing one too many of his arrogant home run rituals. Or maybe it's been just long enough since we've played Chicago for me to forget why I call them the Scrubs. tongue

I'm glad you're venturing into my division, but would you now mind taking the pitching staffs that my boys face? I'd really appreciate it! wink

Or why don't you make it work for you and take whoever the Yanks are facing? Or does that not work?

My powers only rely on my patented Anti-Jinx™... everything else gets cursed by the inherent Jinx of my previously-optimistic "mental decisions". ohwell

I've done the anti-Yanks thing on a day-to-day basis, and it's worked out! lol ...but I can't actually pick them in a weekly game! ...or can I? Hmmmm....

I'd suggest taking the pitching or players your guys will face most within the week (for a full series), and surely your "well wishes" toward that team will help your Yankees!

But now the Baseball Gods know the plan...maybe I should've whispered it...

I noticed you stayed with the Cubs.... it just may work out for ya (the way they've been playing).

I stayed with Manny Ramirez as my LF.... he's gone bonkers in his last two games with the Dodgers. I'm hoping he has something to prove and will continue this streak.
