    ya know,..I was watching the game over my buddy's place earlier and around 10 oclock he says "hey dude,..I gotta crash."...and I was all "WHAT?!,..this is the World Series!" and he was like: "this aint the Phils" (he's a Philly fan). Ha....good thing he did make me run home then. ITS FREAKIN 1:20am! Lmao. Still,...he's a wuss.

    ="Frayed Knot"]"You mean around standing room?...that area?" Yes. The "shell" of the stadium served as the wall in the corners where the standing room is. Later on they continued the fences and set them 3 ft in front. The orig distance was 341' to each corner - plus the line designating an HR was a few feet higher than the otherwise uniform fence. Yep..I remember how it was set up. The area behind left of that (facing it) ,..the corner of the bullpen area, but the fence further back_ thats where we used to scale the fence and sneak into ball games in the early 70's. Never got busted doin that once (only did it probly a dozen times),...and sometimes cops saw us,...they just turned their backs. Thats the same way everyone snuck out on to the field during the overnight stay waiting on the ticket line for playoff tickets in '73. .......afew did get busted that night tho.lol. We were playin football in centerfield in the dark. Good times

Most high school fields I have seen are longer down the line than LF in Houston. I would imagine the amenities at Minute Maid Park are far greater than those at the Astrodome. I definitely prefer the real grass field over Astroturf, but I'm just not crazy with the outfield configuration of the Astros new home. The silly hill in CF, the short dimensions down the lines, and home runs over lines (rather than over fences) that rebound onto the playing field are all facets that I personally don't like about Minute Maid Park.. Yep. The Orange Crate aint no Camden Yard. WOW Burke steals 3rd...thats huge

I agree....ever see a player run up and down one a those warm up mounds they have in some stadiums,off on the side in foul territory. You can see how it effects a players stride and how one could get easily injured in that area. But at least thats foul territory. I like a ballpark with quirks, but that hill is just plain stupid.

    metirish wrote: Thnaks guys for the answer, I thought they didn't give the answer...and we have a game again...great series... Yea,another great ballgame here. It would be ashame if the Asstros end up on the short end of this one...... How about that strange outfield wall configuration they have,with the yellow crime tape running all up and down and over the wall out there. Who the hell came up with that layout?! The hill in center was silly enuff,lol.

Both are great guys I'm sure but Bagwell made $18,000,000 this season and for his career he has pulled down $108,765,000. http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bagweje01.shtml Biggio had made $73,015,500 from the Astros.. Both decided to take smaller $$$ deals to stay with Houston. In the state of todays game, that still makes them some pretty BIG bucks.

    .....that cameraman had to be running down the 3rd base line rite behind Posednik to get that back shot of him approaching the plate. Great shot, but until Pos touches the plate he should not be on the field. I protest the game.

Cuz they are team players and gamers. The game needs more players of that ilk. Especially Bags and Biggs, who could have opted for the money ahead of staying in Houston.

    ="smg58"]Podsednik in the regular season: 507 AB's, no home runs. Baseball is a funny game sometimes. truDat. if they make Lidge a nonfactor,like they have done,..its all but over.
  18. Zvon
    DAGNABBITT!!! what a game.
  19. Zvon
    If Lidge cant hold the Sox for at least 2 innings (3 if needed would be even better) here I doubt the series goes seven, in any case.

    I wish the broadcasters would get off the umps case when its a play like that hit by pitch/foul ball thing. That call could go either way to the naked eye. Too noisy to hear it hit the bat. I dont mind if umps are wrong if they just do their job as they should. The ump made his call and thats that. Thats just baseball.

Clemens has proven he's no Curt Schilling. he was limpin to the clubhouse. Ill tell ya, it did occur to me that maybe he just dont have his stuff and is opting out, and thats no credit to Clemens as a player that that should occur to me, but I think he was really hurt. OMG....Konerko hits a grand salami and the Sox have the lead,6-4. WOWZERS
