I wonder what our record would be if we could crap out decent relievers like St. Louis, Oakland, Tampa Bay, etc. seem to be able to do. Still bad, I'm sure, I just wonder.
I mean it was a [expletive] play but that was a really high flyout and it actually worked out better for us because it got Wong off the bases. Castro was looking at Wong and that's why he dropped it, I don't think it's anything to worry about
infield fly is only 1st and 2nd or bases loaded Huh, I didn't realize that. I thought it was if there was a force at any base. It's not because in this case the offensive team isn't hurt by the drop. With runners on 1st and 2nd every IF could just intentionally let every pop-up drop in and get 2 outs
What a tool. "How dare you ban us for blatantly failing to even pretend to try to graduate our players!" Then again, I couldn't and still can't [expletive] stand Calhoun, so that colors my opinion a bit.
I fell into a YouTube rabbit hole watching old Sosa clips the other day after David's post and saw one, don't remember when, that barely snuck into the basket on a line. I also distinctly remember a Sammy rainstorm HR against the White Sox (again barely snuck out) that was essentially a walk-off because everyone in the stadium knew there would be no next inning.
I'm probably on the low end of income for people on this board, granted, but $2500 is an absolutely stupid amount to spend on a ring. (I spent just under $900, before anyone asks)
"Guys, why would we be sad? Everyone's happy about the minor leagues. Oh yeah, I guess there's the other part, too." "Our morale is so high as we continue to put up historically awful performances in the only area that counts."
With Pat Hughes' call too. That makes me feel things. You quoted the wrong link, but yeah that Game 1 homer was at the time one of the most unbelievable events of my life. And naturally Dusty fucked it all up in extras.
Seriously, how in holy hell can anyone put 2008 into anything resembling the "dark ages"? That was, and probably always will be, the single best sports team I've ever followed day to day.
