    I'm not justifying it but maybe Soriano's showboating had to do with the fact that they broke his hand last time he faced them. That makes sense to me. It doesn't make it right.
  2. CubinNY
    Great game. Now go out get them in the next one.
  3. CubinNY
    I think we know what the Braves though of Soriano's hustle.

    Bob's a dick. He's all about that old school nonsense. yes nonsense like actually running when you hit the ball. It's a double header and he's getting a double or a HR. Big friggen deal. You really think what Soriano did is okay? No, it's not ok. But context is everything. Bob loves to make a point on the hustle stuff. i don't even think it was a hustle thing. soriano could have easily half-assed his way to second by jogging. hell, aramis does it all the time. but flat out walking and admiring the ball you just hit isn't the same as jogging to second on an easy double. I'm listening on radio so I didnt' see it. Otto and Pat didn't really make a big deal out it.

    Braun might get put on the DL. They'll make the decision at the end of the week. I'd like to see him stay off the DL and have the nagging injury bother him.

    Marquis has the luck of the Irish.
  10. CubinNY
    what's a BAYBUH?
  11. CubinNY
    So is Joe West.
  12. CubinNY
    Haha. Cox wants to grab a bite and take a nap between games.
  13. CubinNY
    Lou should use this opportunity to kick Marquis.
  14. CubinNY
    crap.
  15. CubinNY
    Lou must be having kittens in the dugout. Marquis got lucky there.
  16. CubinNY
    Throw strikes damnit. Marquis is so frustrating.
  17. CubinNY
    I agree. But the Braves are out of it so Cox is trying to limit the damage and get guys into the game too. At this point it's almost like ST for a team like the Braves.
  18. CubinNY
    Mine is working.
  19. CubinNY
    Seriously, Jim Edmonds? His performance is so far more than I ever expected it is beyond my ability to explain. Simply amazing.
  20. CubinNY
    Dave Otto is a terrible replacement for Santo. Pat, as always is great.

    If you are sitting in the bleachers, the price of beer isn't an issue. Yea, I know. The two statements are independent of each other. It's actually good they don't serve beer in the bleachers because the fans are crazy enough without it. I think it's pretty stupid. It encourages getting wasted before showing up and bringing in hard liquor. I've been out there when beer was available, and it wasn't that bad. You wouldn't bring your 12-year old daughter, but it hasn't gotten any better since banning beer. I don't think there is a worse place to watch baseball than in the RF bleachers of Yankee stadium. Those guys are the dregs of humanity and proud of it. I don't know how many of them can afford to go to the game.
  22. CubinNY
    Or at least point out that the statement is moronic. The question is the person's level of prior information. Wins are important, but they are a team statistic, not an individual statistic. Wins as a statistic for a pitcher becomes less important with each game the pitcher does not finish. And within in that, each inning that is not pitched.
  23. CubinNY
    I agree.

    I respect that your aversion to it is more about injury, and I feel ya there. But players diving for moving objects all the time in the outfield...and their hand gets to that spot far faster than their feet would have gotten to that spot. And that object is moving...in theory it should be easier to dive for a stationary object. Please no Bandon. Let's not go through this again. Keep your beliefs but know they are wrong. You can't catch a ball with your foot. You can't get to some spot ahead of you faster by stopping running. Catching it is irrelevant. Think of a diving catch. The ball lands at spot X and the player catches the ball just a hair from touching the ground. You really think that you could have gotten your foot to spot x faster than you could get your hand there so that the ball lands on your foot, or you can kick it? Sorry buddy...it's not wrong. It's common sense. Catching is completely relevant. In fact, it is the MOST relevant variable. It's maddening. What part of the body is closest to the ground? What is the fastest way to get to spot X with the body? That's it I'm done.
