Inuk's Igloo : The Phun Random Chat Thread!

Can the White Sox make the playoffs?

 

That's like his entire discography.

Usually does for me. I have to walk to Walgreen's and get some. Trying to motivate my lazy ass off this couch first.

 

422 feet! Last night Alex Avila on the Tigers popped one 435 feet, over the hedges, in center field in KC.

 

It is. Except some remix cds, This is It soundtrack, and the cd that came out after his death.

You're at home! Whenever I chat with you I think you are out.

 

I've been watching DH 2.

 

Who holds the record for the longest? Is it still Mickey Mantle?

 

If they start winning and Detroit starts losing then yeah.

They're like 5 games back but they've been really disappointing this season. They have all the talent you could want but they just aren't performing like it. The Yankees swept them there in Chicago in a 4 game series this week. Was embarrassing.

 

I have DH 2 on mute in the background.

 

I'll try not to be happy about it.

 

I think there are still disagreements about it. You better look it up.

 

The record for the longest estimated home run in a major-league game is 634 ft., by Mickey Mantle for the New York Yankees against the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, in September 1960.

New research (link) by Bill Jenkinson of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, overturns that estimate and instead gives the mark to a 575 ft blast by Babe Ruth hit on July 18, 1921 in Detroit.

Thanks for doing the work for me.

I'm surprised none of the steroid users hit it further.

 

But, you HAVE to read this! It's the real dope on long home runs...

Z is a pitcher. He's batting .350 this season with 2 HRs so far. He's not to be taken lightly when he bats.

Nice. I dig MJ.

I am out about 40% of the time at this hour.

 

That article was written in 1996. But you get the idea. Even for the steroid guys of the '90s and '00s.

 

That was a good article!

 

Interesting, but....

I think both those distances are improbable unless the ball rolled down the street after hitting the ground.

 

Okay, I'm out for the night. Gonna get me some asprin and some rest. Take care guys.

 

Bye Scribe.


Classy is never around anymore. :15:

 

I'll send her a text and tell her you miss her.
