| | WannaBe: WAS/SFG base-brawl, my opinion:
Strickland threw at Harper for hitting 2 HRs in 2014 playoffs, (2.5 years ago). According to the local KNBR radio announcers and what nots. Strickland did not throw at his head. He can easily claim "The pitch got away from me." So the guy hit you, is it an honour(?) for being retaliated? Is it old-time baseball? Is it the "Un-written" rules of the game? I actually think Harper's in the wrong for trying to throw the helmet... In hockey, (I know, different sport), when 2 players are gonna fight, everything is off, gloves, sticks, helmets, jerseys, skates, cups, <EVERYTHING>. Okay, maybe not the skates... But you get my drift. Base-brawl are more amusing than fights. Hockey, now, that's a different coloured puck, all together. You can youtube Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche, those are (some) old-time hockey brawls. |

| | WannaBe: So I had to back and look up Ventura v. Ryan fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIZ...
There was one main event and follow-up minor skirmish. Ah, good ol' days. Forgot that Bo Jackson was on the team for Chicago, Kirk McCaskill (ex-Angels), Mickey Hatcher (ex-Dodgers), so many (famous) names on the back of those jerseys... |

| | WannaBe: But the #1 brawl, at least according to MLB.com, is ATL/SD game. In 1984. Came across this classic clip between SFG/St.L with R. Craig and W. Herzog jawing and a yuuuuuuuuuge brawl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtc... |

| | WannaBe: Remember that 4-0 LAD game where the pitcher (Hatcher) threw 2 innings and did not get a save? Last night, BOS/ChiSox game, Kimbrel (BOS) entered the game when it was 11-7 (4 runs, if you are bad at math), 2 outs in the 8th. Gave up one walk, got 2 strike outs, (all in the 9th inning, he got a ground out to finish up the 8th) in his 1 1/3 innings of work. BOS scored 2 more top 9th to make the final score 13-7, Kimbrel got a save. http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?ga... Huh??? |

| | WannaBe: Cubs went 0-6 on the West Coast road trip, swept by LAD and SD. San Diego?! Seriously? A team that is currently 22-33?! Which means Pads were 19-33 when the series started. Time to push the panic button in Chicago. |

| | WannaBe: Kershaw got his 2K strikeout vs MIL, need 3,714 more to catch some guy named Nolan... |
|
Jun-02-17
| | WannaBe: So far, Kershaw 3 2/3 IP, 9 Ks
That's just not fair/right... |
|

 | | Penguincw: < Kershaw got his 2K strikeout vs MIL, need 3,714 more to catch some guy named Nolan... > Thank goodness Ryan spent a couple of years in the bullpen; otherwise, the record would be even harder to chase. But Kershaw ends up getting 14 in 7, Dodgers tie it in the 9th, win it in the 12th. Game officially took 3:57, just under 4 hours thanks to the new intentional walk rule... |

| | WannaBe: We have a No-No!!! http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameI... |
|
Jun-03-17
 | | saffuna: And Volquez improves to 2-7. A lot of no-hitters in recent years seem to be thrown by pitchers without particularrly distinguished records beforre or after. |
|
Jun-03-17
| | WannaBe: Crazy LAD/MIL game, MIL scored 5 bottom 7, LAD scored 5 top 9th, final 10-8 LAD won. The even 'crazier' thing? 10 runs on 10 hits for LAD, 8 runs on 8 hits for MIL. http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?ga... |

| | Penguincw: < A lot of no-hitters in recent years seem to be thrown by pitchers without particularrly distinguished records beforre or after. > I've also noticed that pitchers that tend to have a really bad start in the outing after their no-hitter. Let's see how he'll do on June 8th in Pittsburgh. But regardless, this Monday, free pizza from Domino's! Too bad I'm not American... ---
On a side note, a very emotional no hitter for Volquez, as today would've been ex-teammate Yordano Ventura's birthday, and of course, he also dedicated this no-no to Jose Fernandez. |

| | Penguincw: Maddon back at it again: http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2017/06/07.... Damn, that box score. Say, this counts as a lefty playing 2B, right? |
|
Jun-08-17
| | Penguincw: And I was wrong. Volquez was actually strong in his encore performance, tossing 7 shutout innings giving up just 3 hits while striking out 8 in a win. His no-hit streak does end at 10 innings. |
|
| Jun-16-17 | | Latviandevil: I am searching two games of our GM Arturo Pomar in US Open 1954, rounds 3 and 9, this one against Great Nicolas Rossolimo.
Also Crosstable/games of North Central Open Ch. in Milwaukee 1955 (94 players). Pomar dis many simultaneous in 1952, 1954 and 1955 too; I have some information about but I will appreciatte more !.
ANY HELP ? |
|
Jun-16-17
| | Phony Benoni: <Latviandevil> I am sorry, but I cannot be of much help. I carefully checked the sources available to me for games from New Orleans 1954, and Pomar's round 3 and 9 games could not be found. This is a tragedy (especially in the case of Pomar's important win over Rossolimo), but is also not unusual. Games in United States Swiss System tournaments are generally not well-documentd or even preserved, and we are probably lucky the record is as good as it is. As for your other questions, I doubt I could find any more information than you have now. The US Open is the only area about which I have any special expertise at all. Finding information about Milwaukee 1955 or Pomar's simultaneous exhibitions would require a lot of digging through local newspaper, or through regional chess publications if these could be found. I have reposted your inquiry at Biographer Bistro (kibitz #16787) in the hopes that you can find a little bit of help there. Best of fortune in your work. |

| | Phony Benoni: Unfortunately, the introductory commercial is a bit screwed up. Stick around. The play is worth it. http://m.mlb.com/det/video/v1505417... |

| | Penguincw: This isn't the first time he's done it. Check out what he did in the 2013 ALCS, G5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n7...
All 3 of the Tigers' outs that innings were on incredible plays. Iglesias also had a nice charging play where he flipped the ball into his hand and Upton robbed what might've been a homerun. |
|
| Jun-17-17 | | takchess: Based on your collection and commentary on the London System, I am going to give it a try. I am primarily a 1. e4 player. It seems to be played a lot by members of my local chess club. Cheers, Jim |
|
Jun-17-17
| | Phony Benoni: <takchess> I believe you have made that comment about the London System in the wrong place. I have no such collection, nor do I recall ever commenting about the opening. |
|
| Jun-17-17 | | takchess: Thanks.You are correct. Although I confused you with White Shark, I did play like DIRP today. It seems in learning some new openings the London System and the Benko, I have forget the one I normally play the King Gambit. Cheers, Jim |
