Offense disappointing me again.

 

Your standards are quite high.

Wasn't he the one that was calling strikes a foot and a half off the outside corner in the 1997 NLCS?

 

I want to say he was one of the guys who caused MLB to implement QuesTec.

Would we know who was responsible for it? The very last thing MLB wants to do is say "we know that umpires X, Y, and Z are incompetent, but we can't fire them because they're unionized, so we have to live with them being much worse at their jobs than most of you who have been fired were at yours

[killthegoat06]

Has Dempster looked that bad? Or were the walks borderline pitches?

[Roast]

Jesus that tray of food looked good.

[chuckywang]

Now I'm hungry.

Eric Gregg.

 

He tendered his resignation during some umpire's union power play, MLB accepted it, he sued to get his job back, failed, then died.

 

There we go. Now there was a beached whale of a man.

Yes, did anyone else see the irony in the Braves bitching about pitchers getting too much off the corner?

 

They never got that much, though. Gregg was literally calling them 18 inches off the corner.

Len doesn't love peanut butter?

 

Boo hiss!

[Outshined_One]

That...was quite the strikeout.

[Careless]

Wow

Berkman just almost killed carlos Lee

 

Reminds me of the time in third grade our worst hitter hit our best hitter in the middle of the back with a practice swing.

Only you, too.

i think he's looked pretty good. a lot of close pitches.

[Roast]

oh god. Giambi's thong. eww. stop len. stop len stop

[Outshined_One]

I'm so unbelievably sick of that story. It's disgusting, stupid, and pointless.

[chuckywang]

My guess that shot was of the family of JR Towles. Who else in their right mind would buy a freaking JR Towles jersey?

[killthegoat06]

Dempster seems to have settled down.

[Careless]

5 straight fouls for Lee result in a K

 

edit: 7 fouls

[illiniguy]

Dubois should go the Cardinals. Look at Ludwick.

[inari]

I'm excited to see what Ascanio has to offer.

[Hall7810]

Ascanio up in the pen.

[Careless]

Fox is on the DL? :lol:

If he comes off the DL with a gun and a list of names, I won't be surprised

[erik316wttn]

I hate you, Hunter Pence.

[Outshined_One]

Come Demp, get out of this.

[killthegoat06]

I'm excited to see what Ascanio has to offer.

Do you guys agree with using him as a long man to start? (or 6th inning ...I guess that's long man)
