WELCOME...TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!

This gif makes me think of the moving photographs in the Harry Potter movies. Pre-game activity: assign players in this WS to their House.

Brandon Belt: Hufflepuff

Buster Posey is Hufflepuff, no question. Bumgarner is Gryffindor.

Monicro: Oct 21, 2010; And you could feel his features in the air
A wide smile and perfect hair
He had complete control of the rising tides
And a medicine bag hanging at his side

In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician

"Hello, Ace Ventura? We have a wild giraffe, panda, shark, and horse on the loose."

Let's just get these all out of the way.

I believe you'll find the Harry Potter wikia very informative here:

quote:

The house is traditionally home to students who exhibit such traits as cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition.

Traits:

Traditionalism
Resourcefulness
Cunning[1]
Ambition[1]
Leadership qualities [2]
Self-Preservation [3]
Determination [4]
Cleverness [5]
Fraternity[1]
Power[1]

Traditionalism? Ned Yost is Slytherin.

I hope Ventura is recovered from whatever shoulder problem he had to bring him out of game 2 against the O's. It'd be a shame if he gets re-injured early in the game or something

Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Some history for yall today:

1845 - The first known box score appears in the New York Morning News a month after the first set of rules is written by Alexander Cartwright and some his fellow Knickerbockers.
1972 - The Oakland A's win their first World Series with a 3-2 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds in Game 7. It is the first championship since 1930 for the franchise, then located in Philadelphia.
1975 - A ninth-inning RBI single by Joe Morgan gives the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox and the World Series title in seven games. It is the first championship for the Reds in 35 years.
1991 - It takes 12 innings, but the first-ever World Series game in Atlanta goes to the Braves. Mark Lemke singles in David Justice for the 5-4 win.
1997 - The snow flurries and 38-degree game time temperature in Cleveland make it the coldest World Series in history, while home runs by Manny Ramirez and Matt Williams make it a long night for the Marlins. Jaret Wright out distances Tony Saunders 10-3 in Game Four in a battle of rookies.
2011 - In the Cardinals' 16-7 rout of the Rangers in Game 3 of the Fall Classic, Albert Pujols hits three homers, drives in six runs and collects five hits, all equaling World Series records. 'Prince Albert', who also set a Series mark with 14 total bases, connects on fastballs from three different Texas pitchers, joining Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson for the most round-tippers in a World Series game.

It is a must win situation. We go down 2-0 and we're pretty much done.

Pastrymancy: Feb 20, 2011; 11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
