I download the schedule to my Outlook calendar every spring so I don't miss a game. Does that make me a dedicated fan or a total geek?

Tigers are still rolling. Fister looked great and Papa Grande with yet another save. Off to Minnesota they go...at least they don't have to face Thome...till they play Cleveland.

It's OK Splash. Let me try to help. If it's dark outside here and you're watching a game being played in broad daylight in our same time zone, there's a pretty good chance it's a rerun. ;D One more win for the good guys tonight. The Twins really suck this year.

Thanks smartass. I was wondering if there was a day game followed by a night game. You know, those doubleheaders baseball players have becasue they can't play in weather like football ;D

You know, those doubleheaders baseball players have becasue they can't play in weather like football ;D I guess if you play more than 10 times as many games you can move things around the weather. But you're right, it could have been a day/night double header. They're rare but they do happen. See, you do know something about baseball.

Yes I do, but can you explain one thing to me that I've never understood? When on sportscenter there is a doubleplay or something, what do they mean by "10,2,5 doubleplay" or whatever the different combonations of numbers can be?

That's a great question. It's usually a 5-4-3 or 6-4-3 double play, referring to the player positions involved and the order they follow. This map should help: www.baseball-ladies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/baseballpositions1-730456.pngA 6-4-3 double play then is fielded by the shortstop who throws to the second baseman for the first out, who throws to first base for the second out. All outs are recorded in this manner, not just double plays. A pickoff by the pitcher with a rundown between first and second can look like 1-3-4-3-4-3 or something like that.
