  1. there's your run, Guzman, make it stand up
  2. murton has looked late on every pitch all year
  3. that was the longest single ever. How was that not in the upper deck?
  4. I think it has to do with the Palace being occupied on Sunday. IIRC, there's a WNBA game scheduled. Gee, what should take priority?? EDIT - Concert Sunday, WNBA Saturday Yeah, that's not a big surprise. While the playoffs would take priority if scheduling all 3 of those together, the arena already scheduled the other two, and to cancel them or move them would be a big headache for them-so the arena isn't going to want to do that without a big fight. what doesn't make sense is the NBA not scheduling their entire playoff schedule into every arena ahead of time That wouldn't work. To beat events like this, the NBA would have had to block out time on every arena months ago. They wouldn't have known who had HCA or who would even be in the playoffs-so they would have to block out just about every day from an arena for a 1 1/2 month period (even if they know the dates the playoffs start, they have no idea if the team will host game 1/2 or games 3/4, and then the second round simply starts when the first round ends, so that is variable as well). The arenas would never allow that much of the year to be blocked out for only the NBA-they make too much money from too many other things. right I understand the logistics, but the NBA HAS to have some sort of pull with these arenas. What other sport has their playoff schedule dictated by whether or not the Fergie World Tour is in town? Do you think the NBA minds pushing a game to a weeknight? where do they get more ad money, Monday night on TNT, or Saturday/Sunday on ABC?
  5. that actually went further than I thought it would
  6. Leadoff hitters usually don't get many RBI opportunities. not when you have Izturis and the pitcher hitting ahead of you
  7. that was the laziest pickoff attempt ever

  9. Good bunters do that, you get more bat control that way. If you watch JP, he did that all the time. it's also a great way to get your fingers broken
  10. or, more likely, he said "we've got a plane to catch, let's see if we can rough him up early in the count", then he cracked open a PBR and cooked up some microwave popcorn
  11. they should hire their bunting coach. Two guys in a row have their top hand's fingers wrapped around the barrel of the bat
  12. Gomez gets hit. No way that's a HBP
  13. um, we got TWO hits yesterday, not one. let's get it right
  14. Care to tell/ provide a clip? they walked in the walk off run in the 9th to San Diego
  15. the Reds pulled a Wuertz last night...anyone see it?
