He is, yes, but I didn't realize you knew my husband!

I don't know your husband, either, but he must be a remarkable man if you granted him
the honour of becoming your husband.

Ours is a mixed marriage -- he loves college basketball and I love baseball -- but he's a keeper!

It could have been worse---he could have loved PRO football . . . or even going to the fights where
hockey games break out! ;)

mmmmmmmmmmmm thank you!

You make an excellent point.  Besides, he's from Kentucky.  I think he is required to be a college basketball fan or he gets kicked out of the state.

Boston Red Sox Used Apple Watches to Steal Signs Against Yankees

More

@Machiavelli  I just read the whole article. Now I am going to watch the video.  I know things such as this were happening with a player at second base, but this article is unbelievable!

Thank you for posting this.

I was just perusing the sports section while I was waiting for our game against the Dodgers starting at 7:10 p.m. 

I don't know what to say or think!  Going to watch the video.

Thank you so much!  You can never have too much knowledge.

Personally, I've got a big problem with Playoff-bound teams being able to sign profoundly effective pitchers at the trading deadline.

I hate ###king Hessians.

 :silly:

I ain't buying it. You be thrilled if the Nats or O's did something similar.

I would love to see an entire dugout wear "Apple Watches" and pretend they're all giving signals like typical 3rd base coaches.

Imagine, after every pitch, the catcher looks toward his dDCPugout and sees that.

Just STHU, and pitch!!    :laugh:

@Machiavelli  @DCPatriot   After watching how it is done, I am actually in total awe as to why this did not happen earlier.
I bought @Cyber Liberty a "fake" Apple watch.  Even The fakes are unbelievable! Mind you, being a luddite myself, it would not be helpful, but just OMG!

Six minutes before game time,  and I am waiting for FedEx to deliver the Mickey Mantle ball.  I do not think the D-Backs do this sort of thing other than a man on second sending pitch signals to the batter.  Just I hope they do not do this sort of thing.  It actually hurts. 8888crybaby

Yeah....and I'm too lazy to look up which team has the 'easiest' remaining schedule.    :laugh:

Actually, I do believe after this game with the Dodgers, we have a pretty easy schedule. Next is the Pads.  But you never know, the Pads beat the Dodgers just recently, too!

We already have two men on base.  Joc Pederson just caught a nice ball.  Forgot who was batting third in the lineup.  One out.  Men on first and second.

I've heard he's a rather remarkable chap.
@Polly Ticks  @Cyber Liberty  Huh?  I am waiting for the signed Mickey Mantle ball, three Yogi Berra signed balls, a Sandy Koufax signed with extra enscription card, a signed Trout ball and a signed Posey mitt. Is there anything I have missed? 

What were you saying about being cheap?  Did I forget to tell you?  Oops! 888high58888

@Cyber Liberty  Cyber told me (not promised) that he would post the images because, again, I am a luddite.  But it is getting easier in here with everyone's help, and, of course, Cyber's help, too!

It isn't exactly a mercenary situation.
He's here through 2019.
Timing is fortuitous, of course.

Twins closer. who came over to Nats at trade deadline.  Someone did mention he is signed through 2019 though.

@catfish1957  I could not find Kintzler with the Twins.  Perhaps MLB is a bit messed up with all the hurricanes.

I will check the Nationals.

@Polly Ticks  I told Cyber I would slooooow down my spending for "our"  sports memorabilia.  However, prior to him telling me to slow down, I had another baseball coming at me.  And this one is a homer!  A signed multiple signature ball with a bunch of Hall of Famers! 

Tomorrow I should be getting all of my Yogi Berra stuff.  Last night I received four things.

Poor Cyber [sigh] going to have to make him work by taking photos and putting them in here as images! My part is the most difficult, though. I have to decide which objects d' art to purchase! LOL!

Why the heck is there not a single emojin (sp) with a baseball? Huh?

I did tell Cyber @cyberliberty  that we may have helped out my go-to man because he was in the path of Irma, but my friend told me he was fine.  Thank goodness! That whole thing is so scary!

Found Kinzler at the Nationals where you told me he was now.  Not only am I a luddite, but apparently, I can't  read, either. 8888crybaby

Kintzler appears to be a very good closer!  Should be a good addition to the Nationals, if the Nationals are in the position to need a closer.

I will be watching him.  Thanks! :finger:
