Baseball and fat guys ( like me)

[dennis thompson]

I love baseball
I love the Mets
And now I love Daniel Vogelbach, a fat guy ( like me) who hit a grand slam home run last night proving that fat guys can be good athletes ( unfortunately, while I’m a fat guy, I’m not close to being a good athlete)😊

Same way I feel about seeing a normal size guy like Jose Altuve play. Well, except for that cheating thing.

well, hopefully the next 5 games will restore proper order

Daniel Vogelbach used to play for Seattle. I watch a lot of Mariner's games (local team) and I always liked him. He wasn't a great hitter, but he had power from the left side, and could hit the ball a long ways.

Well you are the world champions but Let’s talk in a week

[Maurice Mcmurry]

What do the Pirates and Michael Jackson have in common?



They all wear gloves for no apparent reason

[dennis thompson]

Fat guy does it again two hits including another homerun
I love that Showalter brought in Diaz in the eighth inning
I never thought a baseball manager made much of a difference, I was wrong, Showalter seems to make big difference for the Mets

[Lawrence Duckworth]

..they wouldn't have won it though if they hadn't scored more runs than the Braves.....


good game

[dennis thompson]

Well the “fat” guy (6’ & 270 pounds) went 0 for 2 last night and the Mets lost 😠. I have to say the Braves do have some bats! Scherzer and DeGrom coming up, it’ll be a challenge for them and for the Brave batters,should be fun.

[Lawrence Duckworth]

first game........... 4 - 6
second game....... 9 - 6

total runs scored...13 -12.....Braves lead NLEast by 1 point...fat guy gets honorable mention

[Jon Grider]

My Cards beat the "other" NY team last night in a comeback crowned by Paul DeJong's RBI double. No fat guy heroics, but Helsley, our lights out closer kept the Yanks "fat guy" Judge from regaining the lead in the 9th. Of course it's a stretch to say 6'8" 270 lb. Judge is a fat guy but I'm not going to miss the opp to beat the drum. Go Cards!
Lawrence, looks like we'll have a showdown towards the end of the month. I don't hate the Braves, but sorry Dennis, imo nothing worthwhile in baseball or other arena's comes from NY$$.

[dennis thompson]

Mets take two from the Braves, DeGrom goes today. Can I even dream that they can take 4 of 5 from the Braves?
I’ve been a Met fan since they started, Tom Seaver is by far my favorite Met, and will always be, but Vogelbach is quickly becoming my favorite current Met👏

.....I wouldn't bet against the Mets this year.



Jon...... in my early years I was a Detroit fan and can still remember most of the '68 starting lineup.

I was in the ninth grade of a 4A school when some idiot thought it wise to give the SAT tests the same week as the World Series (St.Louis vs Detroit). I snuck a transistor radio in my shirt pocket and listened to the game with an earpiece hidden from view as I was pretending to hold my head up. I filled two pages of dotted answer sheets; you remember those - the ones with all the dots. I remember on the first page of answer dots I made an image of a monkey and on the second page I made an image of a sailboat. .....There's a lot more to this story --
