Pardon my curiosity...but what? "Arguing fair or foul is all right but..." they shouldn't do it too much? Yes. By the way I love the Garciaparra trade even though Alex Gonzalez was SO cute. (Ha ha you can tell I'm a girl.) |

Do you guys know how on earth Nomar Garciaparra got a name like that? His Dad's name was Ramon, so his parents spelled his name backwards to make Nomar. I just heard this on Cubs radio last night and what I thought was really cool was that our other shortstop's name is Ramon.  |

Yeah, I knew about the Ramon/Nomar thing. Pretty weird actually. I can just picture it now... "Nomar, huh? How'd you get a name like that?" "Oh, it's my dad's name spelled backwards." |

If a Chicago team does make it to the World Series this year, somebody has to make a CHARGE Baseball Party! Where everyone comes in to talk and watch the big game... |

If we come to this party do we have to only talk about baseball or would we be allowed to talk about other things too? I have a feeling that if I was only allowed to talk about the game I would spend most of the time having Lisa explain things to me.

Lisa: "Nine" David: "Lisa, what city to the Cubs come from?" Lisa: "Chicago!" David: "Help me! I forgot what a pitcher does!" Lisa: "Pitches balls!" David: "How many touchdowns do the Cubs have? Lisa: "  " |

I did have to tell him what the wildcard is. And I had another friend who had to have me tell him what an RBI is! (So David you're not THAT bad) |

I had to tell my sister that their wasn't 10 innings in a game after her friend had told her there was  ! Other then that, I'm not positive I know all about a Wildcard, but I do know it's because there's three divisions? in which only team one gets to the World Series so they need another team, but I don't know how they choose it! |

The team with the best record other than the three division champs wins the wildcard. They have it kind of tough in the playoffs- they have to play the team with the best overall record unless that team is from their division. Then they play the second-best team. I'm not sure if they are ever allowed to have home-field advantage in a series. P.S. Last year's World Series champs were the wildcard team. |

I am wondering, has there ever been a World Series of Wildcards? |
