OT: Unlikely Happenings (killing time before gametime)

by 510inDenver on Aug 22, 2006 1:44 PM PDT

So here is the question? What is the most unlikely thing that could happen in the next 3 days or so, that you would LIKE to see happen, and is in the realm of possibility.

So for instance:

Halsey pitching a shutout tonight. That is highly unlikely, but possible. GOOD

Yankees trade A-Rod and cash to Oakland for Antonio Perez. BAD

Kendall not grounding into a DP

or hitting a home run

"The first night, we were right there," Bradley said. "All we needed was a couple of touchdowns, and we would have had them."

better yet, a walk-off home run

"The first night, we were right there," Bradley said. "All we needed was a couple of touchdowns, and we would have had them."

Kendall only has 15 GIDPs this year

Tied with Kotsay for 23rd in the AL. League leader with 24? Miguel Tejada.

It is suppose to be "In the realm of Possibility!" You broke the rules!

Esteban Loaiza throwing a no-hitter.

I actually think this is more possible than Kendall hitting a walk-off. He's had no-no stuff his last two starts.

"The first night, we were right there," Bradley said. "All we needed was a couple of touchdowns, and we would have had them."

Let me guess

Controneo getting excited over a player "hitting for the cycle".
Jason Schmidt throwing <145 pitches per start.
Melhuse getting the lion share of groupy attention in Toronto.
Randy Winn & Steve Nash getting married in Vermont.
B. Crosby homered to deep left, Tejada scored.
"Warriors playoff run".

Neifi Perez starts.

Dusty Baker cloroforms Jim Leyland and puts him in the lineup.

So wait...

Is this MORE or LESS likely than the Mariners sweeping the Yankees?

about odds-on, I think.

Raiders move back to LA;

Mt. Davis is imploded and we get our view of the hills back.

Interesting point....

Rather than building a new stadium, how about blowing up Mt Davis??? Brilliant. Its not like LA would want that suckfest known as the Raiders....
