Q: What was the longest game ever?\n-- MaceMan26\nA: On May 8, 1984, at 7:30pm, the longest game in major-league history began. Over the course of two days and 25 grueling innings, the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox duked it out for a record eight hours and six minutes. Both teams came within inches of victory on a few occasions, but their opponent always matched them blow-by-blow. Going into the eighth tied 1-1, Robin Yount and Ted Simmons scored for the Brew Crew. An aging Rollie Fingers could not hold the lead though, as rightfielder Charlie Moore's error opened the door for the Sox to tie it. Chicago then loaded the bases with one out in the 13th, but Marc Hill struck out and Dave Stegman fouled out to end the threat.\n\nBecause MLB rules prohibit an inning from starting after 12:59am, the game was called after the 17th and resumed the next day. Most returning fans thought the game would end quickly that next day, but instead it dragged on for another eight innings. Carlton Fisk ended an early ChiSox rally when he struck out with the bases juiced in the 18th. His failure in the clutch looked to be a crucial play, as Milwaukee tallied three runs in the 21st on Ben Oglivie's upper-deck home run. However, the resilient Sox refused to lose. Rudy Law reached on an error, Fisk redeemed himself by singling Law home, Marc Hill singled, Harold Baines walked, and Tom Paciorek singled home the tying runs. And so, the marathon continued.\n\nIn the 23rd, it was Milwaukee's turn to avoid a bullet. Chicago's Dave Stegman, who had been on first, stumbled as he tried to hold up at third after Paciorek's single was bobbled, then quickly recovered, by outfielder Rick Manning. As he lost his balance, Stegman brushed up against third base coach Jim Leyland. Since contact between coach and runner is prohibited, Stegman was called out. The next batter singled, but was later stranded. The Beer Men weren't so lucky two frames later when Baines mercifully ended the affair by jacking one over the center-field fence for a 7-6 win.\n\nTom Seaver, making his first relief appearance in eight years, got the win. He then pitched 8.1 innings in Chicago's regularly scheduled game that night, earning his second win of the day. Chuck Porter took the loss. Though it will still go down in the annals, it turned out that this game meant absolutely nothing to either team. Milwaukee and Chicago combined to finish 59 ½ games out of first place.

A few questions - unless I'm missing somethiing here.\n\n1.  Each team has to play 19 games in order for all to play each other?   That means 190 games in that time frame?\n\n2. Not familiar with the term 'pitches'.  Is this another word for 'playing fields' ?  \n\n3. If it's youth football - is there a time limit to the game?\n\n4. Do you have to schedule a playoff at the end?\n\n---------\nOK -  You obviously sustained a moment of insanity when you volunteered for this.  \nYou have your hands full on this one. \nI'm still trying to digest it all. \nWill let you know if I come up with something.\nGood luck Mom!

I'm going to go against that grain here and say that unless you need steals - don't do it. Let’s start off with Beckett- he is now 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP after the Tribe kicked the snot out of him the other night. Everybody knows that Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, has talent. The question, as always, is his durability. He'll be just 26 in May and already has 100 starts in the bigs. BUT he's never thrown more than 200 innings or made 30 starts in a season. What happens when his first blister pops up -- on the front pages -- in Boston? How will he handle the heat? How will he get his road ERA (4.25 since 2004) down? How will he handle a full season with the DH? Not this well, that's for sure.\n\nSo...now you're talking Jones for Damon. Andruw is the back bone of the Braves lineup and he has had an awesome April (.284 8HR 23RBI's 17 runs). Project that out and he's looking at a 45+HR and a 100+RBI season. Damon on the other had has a slower start (.275 1HR 10RBI 16 runs). He's gonna have to find a way to settle down in NYC (which he may do just fine) but how far back in the standings will you be when he does?\n\nStick with Jones, go out and look at Ryan Freel (Cincinnati) for steals and grab whatever pitcher is hot on your waiver wire.

THe REd SOx, because the Yankees suck.\n\nA little boy moves from Boston to NYC, and on his first day, his new teacher asks him if he is a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan. The boy answers, "Well, my dad is a red Sox fan, my mom is a REd sox fan, so that makes me a Red Sox fan, too."\n\nThe teacher responds, "Well!  If your father was an idiot, and your mother was a moron, what would that make you?".\n\nThe boy smiles and replies, "A Yankees fan!".\n\nYANKEES SUCK!

Greetings from the Yahoo Brain in New York City!  \nHope you're watching the live Answers webcast at http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\n\nI think A-Rod will break it, as long as he doesn't have to get up in too many pressure situations for the rest of his career.  I love the guy, but I can't get over how ridiculously un-clutch he is.  He's still going to get his numbers, particularly mammoth home run blasts when the Yankees are either up or down big, but don't look for too much from him when the game is on the line.\n\nWhat I also think is that if he keeps up his own torrid pace, Albert Pujols will break Rodriguez's record a few years later.   As long as he stays healthy and keeps hitting them, there's almost no reason to think he won't!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Fenway Park and it's not even close. There is nothing that distinguishes Yankee Stadium from any other park out there. It's a cookie cutter stadium with no charm and no personality. It's in the middle of a shithole section of the city and there are some truly terrible seats in that place. I've climbed Mt Washington before, but I still don't think I was ever as elevated as the day I was in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. \n\nOn the other hand, Fenway has one of the most unique fields in the majors. Everything from the green monster to the right field pavilion seats to the foul terrortory make the place stand out. The Red Sox own most of the surrounding neighborhood so they typically keep it clean and make sure that there's plenty to do. \n\nThe fans for both teams are considered to be the best and most knowledgable in the game...but mostly they're both just really annoying. They'll be really into the game at either place, but that doesn't make them any smarter. \n\nIf you really have to just pick one, go with Fenway and you won't regrett it. But the two are only five hours apart. You could always spend part of your trip in Boston, take the drive down to New York, and spend the rest of it there.

How is the Cardinal-Cub rivalry overrated?  The two have been rivals for eons, been in the same division since both were founded (both were in the NL East after 1969 and moved to the Central together when each league went to three divisions), and have played each other over 2000 times (Cubs led the rivalry at the end of last year 1037-998).\n\nHow do you say that a team that only came into existence in 1962 compares with that?

How about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays?  They have some really good young talent.  They've made a managerial change as well as front office changes.  They also have some promising prospects coming up soon.  Guys like Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Aubrey Huff, Joey Gaithright and Rocco Baldelli are fun to watch.  Good speed and hustle.  I'm a Yankees fan and like to watch them (rooting for them now as they play the dreaded Red Sox on ESPN)

The best sports coach/manager tirade ever was Lou Piniella while with Seattle in September of 2002. He went off. There was a bad call at first base and he was livid. He first threw and then kicked his hat (he would throw it again later). Screamed quite a bit at the ump. Then, this is the kicker, he threw first base into the outfield not once, but twice. That's a classic tirade and when he left the field, he got a standing ovation. How about that. This is all from memory, but there's a link below. Enjoy.

I'm a Mets fan. Huge actually. I've voted many for the whole Mets lineup on MLB.com. I want as many people representing New York, the National League, and the MLB from the best team in baseball right now. Mets are going to win it all baby with their many All-Stars!

C - Mike Piazza - Me may not be a defensive star, but his bat can't be ignored\n\n1B - Lou Gehrig - Albert Pujols may hold down this spot one day, but he's going to have to keep it up for another 5-10 years before he does. Gehrig is a career .340 hitter with nearly 500 homers. Only Jimmy Foxx comes close. \n\n2B - Rogers Hornsby - His 1922 season when he had 250 hits and  42 homers while batting .401 is the best season ever by a second baseman. He batted .358 for his career\n\n3B - Alex Rodriguez - Mike Schmidt actually deserves the nod here, but the edge is slight. It's only a matter of time (a year or two) before A-Rod cements his place as the game's best ever third baseman. \n\nSS - Cal Ripken - The answer here probably should be Honus Wagner...but because of his ability to play every day, power, and the fact that I've actually seen him, Cal Ripken is my pick. \n\nOF - Babe Ruth - No contest. He's the best player to ever play the game, nevermind the best outfielder. \n\nOF - Ted Williams - "There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived"\n\nOF - Willie Mays - The guy could do it all...run, hit, hit for power, field...The games most well rounded player\n\nDH - Barry Bonds - Love him, hate him, steroirds or not....whatever. Quit bitching about what he may or migiht have done and watch the damn game. Then you'll see that this guy is one of the greatest of all time. He's not a DH, but I figured with his knees he could use a rest. \n\nRHP - Roger Clemens - You could say Walter Johnson...you could say Cy Young. You could even be a complete fool and go with Nolan Ryan. But in an age dominated by hitters, Clemens has dominated everyone. \n\nLHP - Randy Johnson - He was a good pitcher up until he turned 30. Then he became a great pitcher. Everything clicked for him and he dominated the game.\n\ncloser - Mariano Rivera - The closer has become the most overrated player in the game today. Gone are the days where they actually did their team good by going 2 or 3 innings, holding a lead, and dominated a team. But in this age of closers who don't do all that much, Rivera has actually managed to make a difference. He's not the typical closer who pitches an inning a game and manages to rack up 35 saves with 50 innings for the entire year. The guy shortens games. If the Yankees are leading after 8, they win the game.

On average, the Red Sox fans have the bigger passion/more dedicated fans.  I'm a Yankee fan, and although it is hard for me to write that - because there are many ridiculously dedicated and intelligent New York Yankee fans - but if you consider the amount of dedication per the average fan - the Red Sox have to win.  They are truly dedicated, and as a baseball fan I have to respect that.  That said, go Yanks and Bostonian's don't forget you spent the 2nd most amount of money last year - so don't call yourself a small market team!  You're champs now anyway, right?  Go Damon!

I have been waiting for a while to go on a major rant so here it goes:\n\nKimtastic:  You argue that it should be the MVS award.  Yes, it is called the MVP award, and as a matter of fact, Morneau was the Most Valueable Player. Jeter had a great year but he also hit in a much better line-up.  I will do a quick comparison for you\n\nTwins                                   Yankees\nMauer:  .347, 13, 84             Cano:  .342, 15, 78\nCuddyer:  .284, 24, 109       Giambi:  .253, 37, 113\nHunter:  .278, 31, 98            A-Rod:  .290, 35, 121\nCastillo:  .296, 3, 49             Damon:  .285, 24, 80\nPunto:  .290, 1, 45                Abreu:  .330, 7, 42\nBartlett:  .309, 2, 32              Posada:  .277, 23, 93\n\nSimply look at those numbers.  If you tell me Jeter is more important to the Yankees line-up, than Morneau is to the Twins, you need get over your little crush for Jeter.\n\n\nETW,\n\nWhat does that stand for Enormously Tiny Wiener?\n\n1) Yes Justin Morneau was the MVP of the Twins.  Ask Mauer, Ask Santana, ask Liriano, ask every single Twins fan and they will say Morneau was the twins MVP.  \n\n2) From June 7th to the end of the season, nobody, not Jeter, not Mauer, nobody had a better batting average than Morneau(.362).  Also on this date the Twins were in fourth place.  It was Morneau who got the Twins going offensively and mainly because of him, the Twins won the Division.  \n\n3)  I will give you some advice, if you don't know something, don't go off and make yourself look like an idiot the way you do.  Morneau went a few games were he sat out against lefties, in June not July.  With a batting average of .255, it shows how hot Morneau got to be able to raise his average to .321 in half of a season.  \n\n\nVIXENLUVA\n\nThere isn't a problem about Jeter playing for the Yankees, but when people say that if you take Jeter out of the line-up, it falls apart, then you are nothing but a complete stooge.  Morneau makes a greater difference when taken out of the Twins line-up than Jeter and the Yankees line-up.  \n\nBy the way what does it mean when you say "if you ANYTHING about baseball you should shut your trap"\n\n\nGANNON J\n\nAre you saying that Jeter should be the MVP because A-Rod had mental issues and a long hitting streak?  Then you'd agree that Jimmy Rollins should have won the MVP last year because Pat Burell  had mental issues and he had a long hitting streak.  Right? \n\n From the looks of it Jeter did not do a lot to deal with A-Rod's mental issues.  A-Rod was isolated in the clubhouse and from what Sheffield said, nobody tried to pick him up.  You would think that a great captain would try to help out a struggling player, rather than let the team isolate him.\n\n\nEXOCET,\n\nWhat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who read what you say is now dumber for reading it.\n\n"it is rewarding the most valuable player on the team that plays meaningful games in september"\n\nThe Yankees did not play a meaningful game in September.  They had already won the division and were able to put it into cruise control.  \nThe Twins on the other hand were in third place and 6 games behind the Tigers.  They played in meaningful games in September.  \n\nRight there you argue against Jeter:  \n-It was the Twins who played meaningful games in September, and Justin Morneau was the MVP of the Twins.  \n\nI thank you for making the case for Morneau.\n\n\n\nIN CLOSING, JUSTIN MORNEAU WON THE MVP.  HE DESERVED IT AND YOU IDIOT YANKEES FANS WILL NEVER HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF ACCEPTING THE FACT.  SO IT IS POINTLESS TO EVEN TRY TO ENLIGHTEN YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO CAUGHT UP WITH YOUR ADDICTIONS TO JETER.  \n\nMORNEAU MVPS=1\nJETER MVPS=0
