Oh, BTW, got to go to Angel Stadium on my BD last week with my brother and sister...first time I had been there in over 20 years. Very fun even though the Angels got killed by the White Sox that night (bad decision by Scocia in the 7th, dumb idea to load the bases with no outs...next batter hits it out on the first pitch).

I still think Busch studium (St. Louis) is the best...Angel staduim still has the best freeway and parking access though, it was placed in the perfect spot for that...my dad always loved going there and hated going to Dodger stadium (terrible parking and traffic).

I've never been to Busch, but my grandfather took me to see the Cubs and Pirates at Wrigley when I was a kid, still remember it. I want to go down to SF and take in a Giants game at AT&T Park. When I used to live in Ca. we used to go to Candlestick regularly, but I've never had a chance to get back and see their new stadium. I will one of these days

Do you even know what a pitcher does in baseball? And no, there are no 'slam dunks' or 'touchdowns' in baseball....

I'm pointing out a fact related to the no-hitter.

Two WS wins in 4 years and now no hitters in consecutive years. The Red Sox are without a doubt the dominant franchise in baseball.

Yep, they are. About time. How about those Red Wings?

I'm a Sharks fan so I was rooting for the Wings to knock off the Stars. However, in the finals, for me, it's all about Crosby, Malkin and the Penguins. Should be a great series.

I have not yet been able to go to Wrigley, that is the one I REALLY want to go to. Everyone raves about it.

I wish I would have ben able to go to Candlstick.

I hated Yankee Stad., went there when I live in NY. I loved going to Fenway, might be the best...still like Busch a lot though; the atmosphere is true baseball with the Cardinals. I thought Atlanta's new stadium sort of sucked...

The "no hitter" was a fixed ball game...
