Wow and he came off the bag. Seriously [expletive] this ump. 3 blown calls in one game.
-
[expletive] that was fair.
-
I hate to jinx it, but the really shocking thing about this game is the lack of Bartman, Goat etc. ESPN usually salivates when they get the chance to talk about the curse.
-
.....good god Joe. In what world is hitting the ball off the top of the bat squaring it up. In order to have truly squared it up the bat would have had to come from an absurd uppercut.
-
Well that was pretty obviously intentional.
-
I would genuinely like to smack the [expletive] out of Morgan. How can a guy who has done nothing but play and analyze baseball his whole life be so stupid when it comes to baseball?

Corey Patterson: time to call it quits?
Tryptamine replied to Tarver's topic in General Baseball Talk
Maybe McPhails dumpster diving is finally paying off. Im all for all of these guys sucess, especially when their on a team as irellevant as the Orioles. No matter what happens, I wont kick myself about Patterson as Washington and Milwaukee both quickly tried and gave up on him, and Fox was never of much use to us, but giving up on Pie when they did for nothing, essentially to make room for Aaron [expletive] Miles and Joey [expletive] Gathright is nothing short of perplexing. what really bothers me about Pie is the idea that he was given a chance with the Cubs and didnt perform. You mean after playing half of 2007 and a fourth of 2008 and we shipped him off when he was 24? Yeah, Ill say he got a fair shot. I'm hoping this is sarcasm but, 260 AB over a year and a half is not a fair shot. Getting 1 start a week is a horrible thing to do to a prospect. -
Circus is in town.
-
Just an inexplicably bad base runner. He makes mistakes every other game.
-
I didn't even notice Jered Weaver got snubbed too. 2.82 era, 8-3 record, 1.06 WHIP and he leads all of baseball in SO. There's just no way Bud can be seeing this and thinking the current system is successful. If they're going to allow this to continue then the game needs to be played as an exhibition with nothing on the line.
-
This ASG will be more of a joke this year than most. Votto has got to be one o the biggest snubs I've ever seen. Alex Rios and Konerko got snubbed pretty hard too, along with Youkilis and Mat Latos. Lots of really bad decisions this year.
-
So you feel we should build around Colvin, but Soto isn't quite up to par eh? Unless Colvin maintains one of the league's highest hr/fb ratios and an extrodinarily high babip we need to expect some major regression.
-
Theriot has got to be one of the dumbest base runners around. He's made that same mistake at least a handful of times already this year.
-
Votto got himself ejected because he was pissed he didnt make the all-star team. Sadly him getting kicked and Rolen not starting probably F'd my fantasy team for the week. Now there is even less to look forward to in this game. :P
-
Unless Yonder Alonso is being offered than screw that.
-
Castro has to be stealing here.
-
That slide was 3 feet off 2B.
-
The good news is Castro gets to bat again. That's about all I'm looking forward to.
-
This is getting pathetic even for this team.
-
So who can we look forward to drafting next year? I have to assume we'll be picking in the 6-10 area.
-
Soriano strike out on a low and away slider? Impossible.
-
Grit and a .283 batting average is too much for Lou to overcome.
-
Cashner,Colvin and Castro are about the only thing I'm watching for these days. I'm rather looking forward to seeing what kind of return we get for Lilly and the rest.
-
I know it's never going to happen, but I dream of day when fans no longer have anything to do with picking the rosters. So many snubs because of delusional fans. It would also be nice if they got rid of that ridiculous homefield advantage rule.
-
If Strasburg gets to go then Cashner should get to go as a RP. There really needs to be some kind of set in stone qualifications so the fans/media can stop this nonsense.
