Marlins beat Brewers in 12 innings in front of record-low crowd - Sun Sentinel They had a record low attendance vs. Milwaukee of 5,265 fans at yesterday's game. Well if Miami doesn't want a baseball team. We do here in Portland, though unsure how many want the Marlins here. Enjoy the All Star Break guys.

Wow.

That is a sad attendance.

I guess it's not too funny, but there's of course I'd think already a ton of things to do in southern Florida, so I can imagine going to watch a baseball team struggle to win any games wouldn't be appealing there. Enjoy the All Star Game if anyone watches. I don't tend to watch much of em anymore.

yeah the excitement has waned for me after watching the AL win year after year after year

oh man the All-Star game this year though

so crazy/exciting/wild

like watching a tennis/ping pong match



NL was so close to winning this year

[canflam]

Glad you liked it. Glad that the Regular games are back starting today, though. The American League races are mostly wrapped up already though. It will be Boston in all likelihood winning the A.L. East, Houston winning the A.L. West, & Cleveland winning the A.L. Central. The A.L. Wildcard race is still up for grabs though with Seattle on a losing streak, Oakland is just 3 games behind them, though I do expect it to be Seattle vs. the Yankees in the 1 game A.L. Playoff this year.

so, question

has there been a game in baseball where the first pitch of the game went for a home run
and the score finished 1-0?

thats the description of 'there goes the ballgame' if ever there was one

not sure

I think there probably has been at some point in history

does anyone else here know?

always a tight race in my division but I honestly have not been happy with my Giants as a team since 2012

it's interesting to see the Phillies and Braves being playoff contenders once again like back in the old days

we'll see what August brings

the first time I ever heard of the knuckleball was R.A. Dickey

[Olderroswellfan]

A lot of pitchers do not throw it. Last I saw was Phil Niekro!

The Mariners are doing terrible lately. They let the A's pass em in the standings & lost to Toronto who has a bunch of juries including Josh Donaldson. Wow.

[atwoodsmariano]

watched an amazing game tonight



go Giants! beat LA!

[canflam]

Cool. The M's are in a tough series with the A's. They lost by a run yesterday to Oakland & need to win this series to keep pace in the Wildcard race.

Thanks for the videos.

Geez. Well Those things are so silly to me. I know Puig is supposedly this big tough guy, but seeing all those people run onto the field is as predictable as it gets in situations like that. I do wonder though if Puig broke someone's jaw in a fight during an MLB game what the punishment would be. I'd guess there would be a lawsuit, though not positive.
