The article says there will be more inter-league play, which is something I think MLB should be getting rid of, not adding more. I rooted for the Astros since they were Colt 45s until 2005 when baseball came back to DC and I switched allegiance to the Nationals. It was the only year Houston went to the World Series! Now I will have to root for the Orioles over the Astros as my American League favorite, but I don't see the Orioles or the Astros going to the World Series for the AL any time soon.

Thanks! really enjoyed these.

Washington Nationals Catcher Wilson Ramos Free in Venezuela Police shoot out with kidnappers did it.

Soon to come, SonEMIversal!

Same here! Get it through CD Universe? Worked in my case.

Just got this today and I'm hearing this growling trumpet solo for my first time now. WOW! Sound is nice. Everything I have heard so far on Vol. 1 blows the sound of JSP's Breaking Out of New Orleans (a pretty good collection) out of the water.

I will be mortified if I, a grown man, learn about the outbreak of WWIII on something called a Tweet. Hugo "No man can stop me now" Chavez killed. Dominos fall. North and south call alignments. Intercontinental ballistic missiles on the way!

What are these kids rioting about at Penn State? The football coach getting fired? They probably don't represent the majority of students at PSU. In College Park the frat boys riot whether the U of Maryland beats Duke in basketball OR loses!

Thanks! CD Universe had it and is shipping it today. Can't wait to hear it!

Lot of November birthdays! Have a good one!

Enjoy yourself!

Amazon cancelled my order for Chicago: South SIde 1923-1930, no suppliers. Anyone know where to get this, even used?

Thanks for the good wishes! Day was spent very pleasantly.

Nationals sign again Chien-Ming Wang. Comeback player of the year? (do they still vote on Comeback player of the year anymore?) http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/post/chien-ming-wang-set-to-re-sign-with-nationals/2011/11/03/gIQAIi1VjM_blog.html

That's a very memorable image! I saw a special on the Marichal-Roseboro incident. Not only did they become friends, but didn't Roseboro speak in favor of Marichal being inducted into the HOF? Something like that. You know, Marichal was even a Dodger at the end of his career.

LaRussa announces retirement! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/post/tony-la-russa-steps-down-as-manager-of-st-louis-cardinals/2011/10/31/gIQAnRWJZM_blog.html?hpid=z1

Washington, DC getting ready to name Davey Johnson manager for 2012.

In the spirit of Yogi Berra, baseball has the 1% (NY, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago), and then it has the other half!

Nice story about your dad! The KC Athletics were just about a farm team for the Yankees. It was close to a scandal. I just recently learned that the Philadelphia Athletics' color was blue. Whoever moved them to KC changed to green and yellow in order to have something different and stand out on color TV. I still remember Bert Campaneris playing for them. Ed Charles.

You take Berkman out in the top of the 9th? Hope you don't regret it! edit: Game over! I vote Berkman MVP!!! I feel so bad for the Rangers! Maybe they'll win next year?

After last night, and barring an unlikely blowout, I won't conclude that the game's over until it actually is! It will probably be hard to believe this one is over. I am so proud of both teams! And you cannot say that every year.

Pre-game commentators, or Buck and McCarver? I appreciate that the World Series has less hype than the Super Bowl, which is presented like it's Doomsday or something, and with coverage all day long. Does not seem to take itself as seriously as the NFL. It's not World Series CVII either!

My local news station this morning showed Freese swinging his home run swing then cut it off to go to a story on "What's trending on Twitter?", not even showing the ball crossing the fence or Freese running home.

I may have some expansion teams missing but I think it goes like this. Corrections welcome. 1961 Washington Senators (now Texas Rangers -- never won a Series) Los Angeles Angels 1962 New York Mets Houston Colt 45s/Astros (never won a Series) 1969 Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals (never even been to a Series) San Diego Padres (never won a Series) Seattle Pilots/Milwaukee Brewers (never won a Series) Kansas City Royals 1977 Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners (never won a Series) 1993 Florida Marlins Colorado Rockies (never won a Series) 1998 Arizona Diamondbacks Tampa Devil Rays (never won a Series)

I believe the Colt 45s/Astros are only one year "younger" than the expansion Senators/Rangers and they have never won a World Series.
