Yeah Tony, those are some pretty confusing questions for the drunken mind!  

Nobody\'s gotten it completely right yet though.

okay, ill take a sober stab at it

I\'m gonna completely reverse my guesses from last time and go

A. ground rule double
B. ground rule double
C. ground rule double

Each using the same reasoning. Once the ball hits the wall it is the same as hitting the grass on a single, which is why it is not an out if someone catches a shot off the Green Monster in the air. In all three above cases the ball hits the wall every time before going over the wall.

Note: my logic probably sucks but I tryed, and don\'t call me Tony ;)

Edit: all assume that the ball hits the wall below the colored home run marking

i remember that... i can\'t remeber the instigator of it all, but I want to say db and peck started the 1918 and red socks suck chants first during the pb chant, which caused instant meathead retaliation of yankees suck chants, and the battle was on. great show, but it was cold as hell. Ron was playing slap all through the first set, and when I asked him why he said his hands were so cold that he couldnt move his fingers to pluck the stricgs, so he was just hitting his hand against the strings -  not even a true \'slap\' style. It was freighen cold once the sun went behind the building!

check out eBay, lots of good prices goin on there, depending on where you want to sit, I pretty much scored tickets for tomorrow nights game for $25 each, in the upper deck, but not too high, I didnt go through with it cos I checked my checking account and realized there was no money ;)

oh, and tell the damn ESPN people to stop talking about Barry Bonds!! It\'s getting sickening I swear, every friggin show I turn on there is a Barry Bonds reference, I could be watching bowling and have to hear his name!!! AHHHHH!!! To hell with Bonds!

Edit: and get rid of Kruk on baseball tonight!! He\'s terrible!! Although I\'ll admit he is getting better since the season opener, but he still sucks as an analyst!

no half point, all you did was name a street. But I\'ll give you a half point for naming the other team names, and one I didn\'t know. I also have The Americans and The Somersets as names, but I never heard of the speed boys. I\'m going to need to find some tougher questions.

next:
Q. Who is the only red sox player in the 20th century to hit 50 or more homeruns in a season?
