At first, I thought you were cock-blockin' me, Ramblin' One, but you redeemed yo'self with the `best dang gnome in the Universe' truism.
I do agree that the DH sux, and also that interleague play - and even moreso, the unbalanced schedule is an atrocity. But your right, RM, basenall blows cricket away.
Still dunno who's gonna win. The Rockies will roll over Arizona, but I still don't think they can beat either American League team...we'll.
Hey, Ramblin' - ya gotta love the Flyers, right? They are my favorite. Basically, I like all the 70's dynasty teams - the Flyers, Steelers, Celtics, and the Yanks & Red Stockings. I always looked up to my older brother(and liked whatever he liked), and he, obviously was a front runner.
I got the Yankees from my Pops and other brother.
I think Philly was 60-1 to win the cup, but we'll see.
BTW, 20cm is like 8 inches, right RH? 8 inches, get it, Dr. J? E-i-g-h-t inches...?...!
HA! HA! HAAA!!! Ohhhh, man, I kill myself! 8 inches!? ...uh, yeah, nevermind.

Pepper with Grimble is a bit problematic as well. Remember that Gnomes are only about 20 cm tall. A baseball, to him, would be like a beach ball made of solid wood to other folks. And a baseball bat?

So anyway JG, enjoy the game. You pitch 'em, and I'll hit 'em. Oh, wait, check that ... let ME do the pitching, and we'll see what you think of my 'curve'.
The thing breaks at least 8 inches, down to the left. 
Interleague play is, and has been, silly IMRO. Created by the ferkin' owners to create more TV revenue. Silly twats.
I didn't mean to drift the thread and discuss the merits of the DH system, sorry. Oh, and Elmo is correct ... as usual. No doubt he's pining for the days when "Les Expos de Montréal" were in town. And hey, they did make the playoffs once ... in 1981 ... and Rick Monday of the Dodgers will be forever hated in Montreal.
Oh, wait ... never mind. Hockey season has started!

5-1 Colorado wins AT Arizona tonight, Gnomey. I watched that team slaughter my Phils, who actually played pretty well. Right now they have no weakness. They've won 18 of their last 19 games, and have incredible confidence and chemistry. Remember the way that Boston was after they came back to beat the Yankees after being down 3-1 in 2004? Did anybody really think that StL -- the best team in baseball with 105 wins that year -- had any chance in the World Series after that? No way, they got swept. Anywho if CO continues to play at the same level, they'll win it all. They'll beat AZ in 4 or 5 games, and then plow through the AL team. That is, assuming they play at the same level ... which is probably a big assumption and maybe won't happen.
I agree with ya GK about the quirkiness of the game, that's one reason its my favorite sport of all. And at least they don't stop for friggin' TEA in the middle of the game like a certain other sport (all they play in India) with a bat and ball!

ramblin'man,
you're correct about esty... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... maybe i need to think more before inviting people to play pepper.... maybe you and agnomenamedgrimblekrumble would be better choices...
it is true, undeniably, the nl plays real baseball...
i am hoping (this is my dad thinking through me i guess) that the interleague play during the regular season might just be the catalyst that one day will cause the demise of the dh... but then, what would ortiz do... this is a tough question... actually asking that every batter in the line-up can fly around the bases...
yet i digress...
have a fun play-offs, everyone...! ... hey! i've got a train to catch!!!

GK, you are the bestest most coolest Gnome I know ... but WTF is Cock-Blockin'?????????????
Realizing that you are, in fact, more knowledgeable about the "Street" (in da hoods of Lon gIsland), you force me to peruse yon Urban Dictionary:
===============================================
1. cock blocking 155 up, 11 down
To hinder, by whatever means, the chances of another male from getting a sexual encounter with a female.
2. cock blocking 83 up, 31 down
A dangerous impedement to getting pussy which can rear it's ugly head in many different forms and situations. To categorize a few...
1) The Third Wheel - A friend of the chick you are trying to get who doesn't want to leave her side, and will not until your target says otherwise.
2) The Lame Duck - When trying to get a slutty girl, a lame duck may be another individual who knows the sluts reputation, and is hanging around her, but is either bogged down in their efforts to spit game, or downright wasting her and your time by not getting any, but instead keeping the slut company.
3) Rich People - Sometimes at a party, those ridiculously rich white **** come down, and since most girls are attracted to money, they start hanging around them. Of course, most rich people who come down to urban parties are there for a bigger reason... to do oxycontin, cocaine, and other garbage and get our females hooked onto it. Definately one of the worst.
4) The Ex - If your potential mate has an Ex-Boyfriend somewhere in the premises, things can get ugly if he's the hothead type. Thankfully, I'm a Marine and could careless about a civilian, but for other people who aren't deadly weapons by law, just keep your eyes out, these morons can not only cock block your entire operation but can get the jump off blown up too.
5) Accidents - Sometimes even your closest buddy might let something stupid slip, like that time you had that threesome with your potential mate's sister. Or it might be a cock blocker letting it slip intentionally. Me and my clique follow a strong code of silence on matters like this, but when it comes to getting the finest bitches, trust can fall like a house of cards in a hurricane.
There are many more you might have the misfortunate of encountering. Just keep smooth casanova and you can sometimes blitz right past them and go straight for it. After that, all you need to worry about is not getting burned.
1) I wanted to talk to that girl alone, but her bitch friend kept hanging around us being a third wheel cock block.
2) That dude keeps trying to holler at that slut but isn't getting any, and I'm the one who called her to come here and give me brains in the first place.
3) I was hollering at this chick when these random white dudes from the sticks came. Next thing I knew, the chick was strung out on coke.
4) I was fingering this chick in the back, when her ex comes in and starts wiling out.
5) I was spitting mad game at this chick, when my drunk ass friend comes over and says "Isn't her sister the girl we gave the goggles too that night?"
3. cock blocking 31 up, 17 down
(v.)The act of one attempting to prohibit another playa from gettin some neck or any other means of sexual activity
4. Cock Blocking 7 up, 15 down
Stopping an individual from getting any action through word of mouth
5. Cock Blocking 5 up, 14 down
When one person says anything that with make a woman dislike him or not want him......
6. cock blocking 11 up, 20 down
When somebody is being an pain in the arse and preventing you from doing something you are trying to get done. This expression is used as an annoyed slang response when this situation occurs.
7. cock blocking 12 up, 22 down
Cockblocking is the action of denieing one of using there cock in a sexual fasion. It originates from the hood although it is not clear which one.
===============================================
Hmm. I'm thinking #1, #3, #4, etc. Well GK, you know me better than that ... I would never stand in the way of you gettin' any action from Doc J. Besides, I could and would never compete with you, meu amigo. She's all yours, if you can get her. I've got my sights set on Jessica Alba. Also, I bet Jennifer Aniston is ripe for the pickin' now. Screw her age, she's still a hot babe ... with a mouth that belongs wrapped around something, if you know what I mean.
Rockies are acting like a team of destiny. That's what happens when you score a game-winning run in the 11th inning by virtue of a bases-loaded walk from the Major League Saves leader. Every time shit like that happens, it adds to their aura and confidence ... they are utterly convinced they can't lose. Watch for the Sweep now, since they're headed back to Denver.
As I write this, Boston and Cleveland are tied 6-6 in the 9th inning. I'd actually like to see Cleveland win this game, because they won't sweep Boston at home, and I'd like this series to go 6 or 7 games. Game 7's are great, and often have little to do with baseball.
Hey Gnomey -- bummer that Carmona didn't pitch against your Yankees like he did tonight against Boston. His game against the Yanks was one of the best-pitched games I've seen all year, and was the key to them sweeping your laddies.
Flyers? Eh. I used to be a hockey phan, but then I found European Football and a guy can only love so many sports, know what I mean? And now I love me some Liverpool ... You'll Never Walk Alone, don'tcha know. Baseball, American Football, NCAA Basketball, European/World Football, Rugby, Tennis, Golf, etc. All good.
But not NASCAR, cuz that ain't a sport.
Sheidt. There I go again, babblin' away. Have to say ... I've had a LOT of Lagavulin tonight. So ferkin' smooooooooth, and RM likes that peaty flavour, yes he does.
"Some goes to women, ooh, some goes to Jesus
That I'm absolutely certain both's all right
Yeah, but it takes me at least halfway to the label
'Fore I can even make it through the night
Uh well, I think that you're headed for a whole lotta trouble
Yeah yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lotta trouble
Baby, yeah, I think that you're headed for some trouble
If you take your whiskey home."
