White Sox allow hilarious walk-off as outfielder gets hit by Albert Pujols flyball
@Polly Ticks At least it wasn't a homerun?
File it in your "Keep Your Head in the Game" department. ;)
You know, in retrospect, that might actually help explain some of Canseco's crazier tweeting and such ...
Couldn't be. Not with him having a cement block for a head. ;)
LOL -- I stand corrected. (But not in the outfield, with a ball hitting me in the head.)
@Polly Ticks My dear Polly, if it had been you, you would have caught the ball off your head, not let itbounce into the seats for a home run!
Today in baseball history:17 May 1979: Phillies 23, Cubs 22. Mike Schmidt: Two home runs.Dave Kingman: Three home runs.. . . and even a couple of pitchers hit one out . . .Phillies 23, Cubs 22
Friendly confines my ass.
Nice way to start the first one. Kuechel wins and Marisnek throws out the runner at home.
3-0 Astros over FL.Now 29-12 !!!!!!!!Think ESPN will ever notice us?
@catfish1957 I sure hope not! ESPN is the PITS!
Wait...that looked like a ground-rule double.
If a fly ball is first touched by a player in fair territory and then goes over the fence, it is a home run.7.05(a) Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance ... to home base scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and the runner touches all bases legally;When the batted ball was touched by the player in fair territory, the ball automatically became fair. The ball remains in flight until it touches the ground - touching a player does not alter this. Thus, this rule applies.If a fly ball is first touched by a player in foul territory and then goes over the fence, it is a foul ball.
Apparently not.
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has a fractured left wrist and is expected to miss at least eight weeks, according to multiple reports.

That hurts! Especially so when you consider that he is really all they have!
Actually, he's not all they have, but he is definitely the cornerstone and he's been having a MVP season thus far. By some accounts, the only guy better so far this year is Mike Trout:http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/top-100-players-in-mlb-so-far-this-season-freddie-freeman-aaron-judge-among-elite/Matt Kemp has been hitting just about everything thrown to him lately, and Ender Inciarte is having a nice streak, too. Offense hasn't been our problem nearly so much as pitching.But anyway you slice it, this is a big loss.
