Dammit, I knew Cameroon. Samuel Eto'o may be overrated, but he is still the shit. And they didn't make it 3 years ago, what a waste.

[laddida]

alright so im up then? If this is how it goes here is my question since i love baseball and im a huge fan of the white sox

In the 2005 ALCS White Sox vs The angels the White Sox starting pitching was dominating and only needed 2/3 of an inning from one relief pitcher the entire series. Who was that lolely relief pitcher?


Sorry if this is too hard i can give hints dont know how many baseball fans are in this forum i live and die by it

[SEAsportsfan]

I'm gonna say....Bobby Jenks?

[laddida]

I'm gonna say....Bobby Jenks?

Nope the white sox didnt have any saves actually in this series

[SEAsportsfan]

it better not be some position player....didn't nick swisher play for the Sox?

[laddida]

he did but now hes with the yankees and he very much did pitch an inning for the yankees yesterday which was hilarious but no no position player.

[SEAsportsfan]

ok, just makin' sure, and by the way, some of those pitches were pretty nice. I'm thinkin' my mariners could sign him up to a contract

ok, well, i have no more guesses, so hopefully someone else does.

[laddida]

:lol: ok, just makin' sure, and by the way, some of those pitches were pretty nice. I'm thinkin' my mariners could sign him up to a contract

You got that morrow character anyways hint is hes a left hander sorry guess this was too hard lol.

[SEAsportsfan]

that morrow character had a 40.5 ERA after the second game this year haha, but i don't think it's too hard, it just so happens that i didn't watch but a small bit of baseball from 2005-2008...i'm making my comeback this year

[laddida]

alright hes a left hander and he plays for the chicago cubs now lol theres only one person that fits this discription now just to get this moving and ill come up with something easier next time.

[laddida]

[SEAsportsfan]

i'll go for sens fan, and if he comes back before the answer comes up, he can go.

What college football team (ex: 1974 Miami Hurricanes) sent the most players to the Pro Football Hall of Fame? And, extra points if you can say how many or who...

ok ok im back. First, i'll take a guess (1988: UConn) ( i'm really not sure if there is such a
team.)

Who lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1988 World series?

[spurgistan]

The Oakland Athletics. Pre-Moneyball, same end result.

And for my question - What top-4 professional sports franchise has the most retired numbers?

[SEAsportsfan]

Can i have two guesses? Boston Red Sox or Montreal Canadiens?

[spurgistan]

Well, no, you can't.

[SEAsportsfan]

ok, Red sox then.

[spurgistan]

Incorrect! Until a few years ago, the Red Sox only had four retired numbers. I think they're up to about 7 now, but they're still about 14 short of the leaders.

[laddida]

yankees?

[spurgistan]

The yanks are in a solid second place, with 17 numbers that are unusable to the masses. There is one team, however, that has retired 21 numbers (and a microphone). Who is it?

[laddida]

Well if its not the yankees its def. not a baseball team.... hmmmmmm boston celtics maybe? they gotta huge history as well.

[SEAsportsfan]

Canadiens?

[perchorin]

I'll take a guess and say the Dallas Cowboys

[spurgistan]

The Celtics are correct! They have lifted 21 numbers into the Bahston Gahden, including one twice! laddida's turn.
