I know it took place in the WBC, but whatever, I'm putting it here.

 

Angel Hernandez, ladies and gentlemen:

I saw that live. There's pretty much no justification for calling that a strike. It ended up six inches off the plate and it started out even further outside, in the middle of the batter's box.

[Post Count Padder]

What a joke. Nowhere near the plate.

[Cubswin11]

Yeah but having real umpires keeps the sanctity of the game, didn't you guys feel more pure watching the human element play a role?

Motte shut down, expected to begin the season on the DL because of a mild strain in right elbow. Boggs to open season as #STLCards closer.

Billy Hamilton w/ a 3.41 on drag bunt (foul); 3.74 on chopper. There is fast and then there is [expletive] fast and then there is Hamilton

I'm very intrigued by this article:

I mean, we all know that pitching injuries are bad for pitchers, but the math is still jarring.

 

My model doesn't offer as much comfort. Once a pitcher is damaged, he's damaged goods.

 

Makes me want to pass on a Garza extension.

This is quite the hilarious story about the butt dialing tendencies of the Mets' Director of Media: http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/a/SB10001424127887323605404578380592367577484?mg=reno64-wsj

I love the amount of effort that went into reporting that.

@Jayson Stark With Derek Jeter heading for DL, here's a stat to mull: #Yankees will pay 3 IFs on DL more $ ($67.5M) than #Rays will pay whole team ($60M)

 

It's a good thing we have a new CBA in place to help out those small market teams like the Rays circumvent having to pay overpriced veterans and build teams through drafts and IFA....

Being back sleeve trim, ricketts !!

Being back sleeve trim,

 

Is that sexual innuendo?

[Guest]

I'm laughing...mainly because it makes me laugh when anybody uses "trim" that way

[OleMissCub]

That old codger on the right is like "come back here with my bike!"

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That field looks terrible.

The day after his last game will be a great day. He and Buck are insufferable, especially when doing Cards games.
