Did my #Oakland #Athletics win last night? Is that really the most important question? I don't think so.

The real issue is, did my Oakland Athletics maintain their half-game lead over @YakyuNightOwl 's #Seattle #Mariners?

Yes. Yes, they did.

Do either of you two have a NL team as a backup?

MLB Rule 3.14159 says that you are allowed to have an opposite-league favourite team.

GIANTS SPLIT SERIES WITH TIGERS

Joe Black turned in a quality start. Ed Steele homered. New York, recently deprived of superstars, took its 2nd win in a row over Detroit. Maybe it's a clubhouse vibe thing.

Today's #1947League hero, Joe Black, is not in the Hall of Fame, but he teamed up with a future Hall of Famer, and future roommate, to lobby for pensions for NAL and NNL players.

Bloody socialists.

Name the famous ally Joe Black worked with on this cause.

"Wow -- the Rays are off to this historic hot start -- I wonder who they're playing next... (gulp) Oh."

Somebody give me a reason to feel optimistic about this, please. #Athletics #baseball

YANKS SPLIT, NOW WITHIN A GAME OF BROWNS

Paige allows HRs from the big guys (Gibson, Heath--who went long twice); Browns otherwise inert. NY erupts for 13 hits.

The game featured two bench-clearing brawls.

So.... Jeff Heath of the Browns hit two home runs in a 9-3 loss. When a batter hits two dingers in one game, we put another star on the #1947League Wall of Fame. Who should be immortalized?

#1947league update:

Expect a pause for the next few days as we go on what they call a "holiday" here in Ireland. (I think we all know it's actually a "vacation," but I humor the locals about that.)

Games should resume this time next week.

See you then!

#1947League preview, and it's a doozy:

Phillies, a half game back, send Groundhog Thompson (8-3. 2.05) to the mound in search of a tie for first with Brooklyn.

Cardinals counter with "Mississippi" Lewis (7-7, 3.05, 128 Ks.*)

PHILS REGAIN TIE FOR FIRST

A 5th-inning unearned run (scored by Artie Wilson, of course) was the margin, as Groundhog Thompson picked up his 9th win.

Lewis K'd 14 (!) Phillies in a losing cause for Cardinals.

#1947League preview:

The Pirates' Luis E. Tiant (8-5, 2.66) aims to even the four-game series with the Red Sox.

Bill Powell (6-6, 3.72) looking to take three out of four at Fenway -- and get a bit closer to the .500 mark that has eluded the Sox all season.

PIRATES' BULLPEN IMPLODES; SOX TAKE 3 OF 4 AT FENWAY

Handed a 3-2 lead, Leniel Hooker coughs up 4 runs in the 8th.

Galehouse gets the W. Williams: 2-4, R.

#1947League question:

Pittsburgh's starter in today's game would, in real life, throw out the ceremonial first pitch in a World Series game.

Name the city where he did that.

Not Atlanta or St. Louis. Multiple guesses ok.

The key to this one is knowing who started for Pittsburgh in #1947League today. (He got a no-decision.)
