I'm sure his pitchers love this.

What a classless, selfish ball of suckage.

[inari]

Yeah, I think Cabrera's chances of resigning with the Sox are around zero.

[Post Count Padder]

That's a good way to make everyone hate you.

But he was born on the south side.

Shouldn't he be worrying about more important things... like the rest of the game?

So... gold gloves are won by working the phones now? :mrgreen:

Exactly what I was thinking. What a joke that is. You can call the scorer and have your own error overturned?

 

Wow, what's that all about?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

it's actually not uncommon for teams to appeal to the official scorer on questionable decisions. it's odd that a player himself is doing it, but he also has an odd manager

Apparently Cabrera asked Guillen to call up and complain and he wouldn't so Cabrera called himself. [-X

How do think the conversation went?

 

Cabrera: That last error, that should be a hit. Can you call that one in for me?

Guillen: $&*@ you.

Reason No. 323 that errors are a stupid stat and should be done away with.

I'd like to here the first 322 reasons then.

Let's just make it the primary reason errors are a stupid stat.

Most of them have to do with the various varieties of defensive plays the defender should make but doesn't that aren't charged as errors, and the various varieties of poorly hit balls that turn into hits.

How about throws from the outfield to certain bases to try and peg a runner out and the ball is thrown in the same trajectory as the base path and the runner runs into it, giving the outfielder, who had the runner not ran into the throw would've nailed him from a mile away, an error.

 

That is stupid. Hey, you get an error for making a throw from a couple hundred feet away and hitting a base runner, even though the base runner was 40-50 feet away from where you were throwing it to when it left your hand. Sure, it was on target, the the runner happened to be in a certain position that the ball hit him, but it's all your fault, way to go jackass, here's an error
