  • 3u Hit it Hard Somewhere! #
  • Fuentes isn't going to make things too easy on #angels fan in the postseason … Good luck with that. #
  • Why #angels Soscia is great. Rivera misses shot going out, jogs into 2nd. Soscia pinch runs, about to chew him out, congrats. Message clear #
  • Matsui is still a force to be reckoned with .. PH homerun gets the #Yankees within 2. Hits righties and lefties equally #
  • Let's see what these #Yankees & #Angels have going into post season … Yankees down 4-1 in the 8th. Will they clinch birth tonight? #
  • Holy smokes .. Chipper (I know, Chipper!) & Diaz homer in same inning to make it 8-0. Only the 2nd #braves over #mets #
  • We've done 5 legendary scoreboard games on our site. Now we're taking a poll (right column) Which do you think is best? http://bit.ly/Ksqkc #
  • Cards from the Diamond: Each day we feature something from our collection of childhood memories in bubblegum for.. http://bit.ly/19GCsD #
  • #dodgers are so solid.. Put Manny Ramirez on with intentional walk & you have to deal with Matt Kemp. That's a deep playoff caliber lineup. #
  • Downpour arrives … #braves #phillies in a rain delay bottom of 5th w/ Phils up 4-1. Crazy weather, sunny here 20 miles away. #
  • I know NFL takes over Sundays in Fall… But it's nice to throw "baseball" into search.twitter to see what's up. I've got Pennant fever! #
  • Cards from the Diamond: Each day we feature something from our collection of childhood memories in bubblegum for.. http://bit.ly/jagXH #
  • 6 – 4 Hit it Hard Somewhere! #
  • How about that !?! Texiera misses the cycle by blasting his second homerun of the night. This time from the right side of the plate #Yankees #
  • Texiera only a double away from the cycle for #Yankees in the 7th ….. But he's gonna need another bat to do it. Snap #
  • Nice catch Tex. How'd Mariners fans let him near that foul ball?Certain fans @Fenway would'a been after that bit more aggressively #Yankees #
  • Hated to see Texiera leave the #braves last year (MLB economics) seeing him play daily you realize he's even better than you think #Yankee #
  • Texiera drives his fourth RBI of game for #Yankees with 3 run home run 36th and 117. Are we looking at AL MVP this year? #
  • Spilborghs goes the other way for second double off the bench puts #Rockies lead back up to 2 in the 9th #
  • Remember #redsox nation when there was a year the thinking was Hansen & Delcarmen were the future of the bullpen? Not so much #
  • Tracey pinch hit Spilborghs for Hawpe playing righty lefty matchup #Rockies outfieldr delivers RBI double. Why managers r paid the big bucks #
  • #RedSox playing a bit of BP in Camden Yards now .. Drew now Anderson yard after Papi stung Sac fly. 11-3 #
  • Chores done .. Flip on the dish to see Youklis strike a curveball into left for the #RedSox go ahead run vs #Orioles 4-3 #
  • Cards from the Diamond: Each day we feature something from our collection of childhood memories in bubblegum for.. http://bit.ly/nV7eA #
  • 6 – 3 Hit it Hard Somewhere! #
  • #scully references Dimaggio, Musial, Mantle, Bagwell, Felipe Alou, Kirk Gibson with ease. #
  • @Sarah2713 could be fun if he is a big presence on the bench thru playoffs. Some key homeruns would cement the Hall honor. in reply to Sarah2713 #
  • #scully breaks down Loney's turning on a fastball as nicely as a hitting coach "Turn upper torso, get hips outta the way, and let her rip" #
  • Great catch Eithier. That ball gets by #dodgers rightfielder, #sfgiants Velez is running forever. #
  • @Sarah2713 lol. in reply to Sarah2713 #
  • Ichiro with a walkoff two run homerun of Mariano Rivera! #Yankees #mariners !! #
  • I'm repeating myself, but on nite when #braves Escobar is still top of mind, Furcal homers & makes some fine defensive plays for #dodgers #
  • Ok .. love the #dodgers camera catching Zito & Lincecum in the dugout yucking it up #sfgiants #
  • #Scully tonight reminds us how much he misses the outfielders throwing to the bases in pre-games. Watching outfielders with guns #dodgers #
  • @Alyssa_Milano LOL … Favorited in reply to Alyssa_Milano #
  • Pls tell me this trend is not going to become more prevelant.. This Manny Ramirez at bat is brought to you by AM/PM.. Say it ain't so #
  • #dodgers better stop playing pinball around the diamond if they are going deep in October. Seems whenever I turn them on it's fielding probs #
  • Love seeing the local ads when I'm watching West Coast games. Seeing things like Red Bull Soap Box Derby coming to LA soon, makes me laugh #
  • @USAFCCF there's been many more nights he should have considered it. Drives me nuts to see talent like Escobar blow it not playing smart in reply to USAFCCF #
  • So .. story tomorrow for #braves – does benching Escobar light same fire it did for Andruw Jones 10 Gold Gloves & Silver Slugger? We'll See #
  • @USAFCCF Achilles heal all season .. Every time they had a chance – baserunners & bombs against the pen. in reply to USAFCCF #
  • Stomach punch … Two walks and a Jimmy Rollins homerun puts a fork in the #braves. Oh & Fransisco blast to top it off #phillies #
  • Makes my heart proud that the most clutch hitter on this team is the catcher. McCann 2 run Jack #braves pull within 2 on #phillies bullpen #
  • 2 homeruns this game #braves Logan plays chin music on Ryan Howard after Utley steals 2nd to open up 1st base. HBP take your base! #phillies #
  • Just added to http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #baseball #mlb #wisdom #fans #community #
  • Tots in bed ready for Fri. Baseball. Cox yanking Escobar reminds me of time he pulled young Andruw Jones mid-inning. Approve move #braves #
  • Multi-team #FF @Sarah2713 @BoSoxSnoopy @BlueCrueNews @CoolpapaC @TheRopolitans @metsfanrachel @USAFCCF @coryh64 @rain_delay #
  • Watching #MLB Network defensive highlights from last night & realized ESPN Baseball Tonight has entered a term into the lexicon – "Web Gem" #
  • Cards from the Diamond: Each day we feature something from our collection of childhood memories in bubblegum for.. http://bit.ly/BIADe #
  • Testing a Seesmic desktop post to see if this appears in Twitter and the Baseballisms.com Fan Page on Facebook #
  • Derek Jeter honored for having 144 fewer hits than Harold Baines http://bit.ly/FIXe (the Onion) #
  • Cards from the Diamond: Each day we feature something from our collection of childhood memories in bubblegum for.. http://bit.ly/FAFen #
  • RT @Sarah2713: Mmmm I can feel it in the air. October Baseball is right around the corner :-) #MLB #
  • Love video of toddler tossing Dad's foul ball away http://bit.ly/aPu0D Any #phillies fans out there know the guy? Would love to talk to him #
  • Scrappy #braves team never quits.. 9th inning Infante sac fly ties game .. Murphy boots grounder winning run scores. KRod 6th blown sv #mets #
  • Wait .. is that Mike GONEzalez!?! .. Long ball #Mets up 5-4. #braves #
  • Kudos to ESPN Gamecast for being pretty close to real time … Not missing any action going back & forth office to couch :-) #
  • @libbycrews agree .. switching over to the #Braves #Mets delayed game tied at 4 .. then #Giants #Rockies … It's pennant fever around here! in reply to libbycrews #
  • Umpires love the fact they get to their locker room via Away team dugout. Mike Soscia giving them ear full after #redsox 9th inning comeback #
  • Holy smokes! Greenie battles for the walk, lays off pitch at the knees and game is tied! #redsox #
  • This game is a little too intense for MLB Gamecast! Down to TV #redsox #
  • @Faceyman from north of the border correctly guessed our 5th Legendary Scoreboard game as Joe Carter '93 WS walkoff! http://bit.ly/m2nfW FTW #
