Come on over Diana. We'll enjoy some weiners and cold ones while she watches her hot one.

Actually, Hawkins threw at his HEAD. I saw the highlight. Afterward, Luke definitely took a step toward the mound with bat in hand, expletives flying. Of course, Hawkins is about 4 inches taller than Scott, so..

Thanks Bethie! She's not yet 21, but I'm sure she'd go for the cold ones.

I remember the Hawkins incident now...I even saw a clip, but somehow had forgotten what happened. Since my friend's not here to say it, I will: Screw height, Luke could take him on anyday, anytime, thank you very much.

Here's a great clip I wanted to share here...

In Saturday's game against NY, we came from behind in the 9th to tie it up, and in one of the funniest/strangest ways I've seen.

Poor Loretta ended up hurt, but I was glad we managed to score both. I've decided that if you're running ahead of Hunter, you better be on the move or he'll run you down!

Here's how we ended up winning it in the 10th:

And on the Mets' part, I thought this play was really incredible, by a guy (Dan Murphy) who was playing in his first major league game!

You're probably right. I'm sure Luke is a hoss, and Hawkins is 35 yrs old after all. I just meant that Luke would probably have to take him to the ground and then it would just get broken up. He wouldn't have a lot of time to land punches against a much taller fighter in that scenario.

I got somewhat of a request for a revival of this thread...

And after all, baseball season wouldn't be the same without fantasy discussion!

Yay, Gina!!! We need to make sure that we get Bethie back, too!! OMG! My boys got spanked so badly today by the BoSox. It was NASTY. But it's only April, so we have a looooooong season ahead. And Jeter's butt is still Jeter's butt.

Wow, spanking.... Jeter's Butt.... this thread is definitely back.

In top form, Blib. Go Dodgers, right? No, wait. I'm getting the sense that you wouldn't root for them...hmm.

Very wise words, my friend!

Beeeethiieee...where are youuuu?

I haven't been able to watch a Tribe game yet.

Given all the Megan Fox pictures that have popped up (interesting choice of words - "popped up") lately, I thought it might be high time to resurrect this thread.

Here's a favorite for me:

And then I found this one. Wonder what he's happy about? Being Derek Freaking Jeter perhaps??

I gotta admit he is HOT!!! Look at them pearly whites.

Here's his best side, Mig. Beth, you can pass this onto your daughter.

Makes ya want to pinch it huh? this side aint bad either.

It's okay that I'm in here, ladies - I'm delivering you all flowers...but I heard that Jeter's favorite GF character is "Fredo". Something about that he is misunderstood and Jeter "feels" for him? Does he need to tell us something? Just sayin'...

Oh, you do NOT come into the Ladies Thread and talk like THAT!

I'm leaving...enjoy the flowers!

They're very pretty. You are now forgiven for dissing Jeter.

"I'll be back!"

Someone was forgiven for dissing Jeter? Man, those flowers must have included some magical potion in them. No one usually comes out alive after that.

I need to find me some more pics to look at. Where are all the studs at? They can't be all in New York.

They were like those poppies from The Wizard of Oz, Beth.

Where's Gina and any Astros pics? To be fair, we shouldn't ALWAYS concentrate on Jeter. I mean, David Wright's pretty cute, too! Oh, wait, STILL in NY!!!

I actually have said Wright was pretty cute. Man, I feel like such a cougar.

I KNOW!!

Ya'll might think I'm crazy but I think Bret Michael's is hot.


Speaking of the cougar, did anybody see that show on TV Land?

Ladies! Thanks for reviving this!

There's certainly some strong talent present outside of NY, but that blue-and-orange duo of Wright and Reyes always has my attention.

And in Astros news, my sweetie Carlos Lee hit a slammy in last night's game!

Gina!! Thank you for coming by! It wouldn't be the same around here without you.

I always thought that Dan Giese was cute. I think he's pitches for the As now.

You have a new sweetie Gina? You're no longer wild about Willy?

"Willie"??? Is that what you crazy kids call "it" these days?!? I told you I'd be back! It's okay - I brought you all candy this time - enjoy!

Really?? Do you think that you can buy us off with some flowers and a few chocolates?? Oh, honey, it's going to take WAY more than that!

I mean, we can't be bought! That's what I meant to say!

And this is for my Gina!!

Honey? Is that you? What is my wife doing on this BB?!?
