Your town.... absolutely not !! The P & G plant.... well, maybe, Haha. I used to live less than a mile from there. My father-in-law has worked there since he was 18. He hates it as well.

Fred, I didn't know you were from Sikeston. I'm from Jackson. Well.... I'm not FROM Sikeston..... I'm IN Sikeston. temporarily. (Actually, I'm in Matthews, but why quibble ?) Ah.... the stories I could tell, and the fun I've had in Jackson, MO !!! Do I sense sarcasm toward my little town?

Fred, I didn't know you were from Sikeston. I'm from Jackson. He drives truck, hes from all over when he posts Right, I remember him saying that yesterday. Lambert's is overrated. Although, the rolls are good.

One of the best series ever: Celtics win 4-3

I wonder how many Bostonites are going to both the NBA game and the NHL game today. -
I like the ARam hitting fourth thing, but where is Fontenot? By the way, yesterday's 6-1 stretch of the lineup was awesome (name wise) SotO FontenOt TheriOt ZambranO SorianO

This. The only knock on it I can think of are the concourses can be a little cramped. A cool thing is that they have hardly any ushers and the ushers that are there are "to help". Me and a buddy used to go at game time, buy 7 dollar tickets and then walk down to field level. For having small crowds, the fans are really into it. Much louder than a lot of places that draw 5-10k more people. They still are a little cramped, but they have added some outdoor concourses that are farther away from the field that help with this. Also, the thing about buying cheap tickets and moving down is so true. Last year they actually sold tickets to seats that were actually taken out later in the year for construction so those people were told they could sit wherever they wanted. All you had to do was claim you had a seat that was taken out and you could sit three rows off the field even if your seats were three rows from the top of the stadium.

I was thinking that too. Its like he predicted everything was going to happen and reacted as if he knew it was coming, like he scripted it. Had the show been on the other foot, and I knew a Pujols go ahead homer was coming, I wouldnt have the yup, I knew it was coming reaction as he did. Had he been watching live, he would have had a lot more of a reaction when Soriano hit his shot, especially knowing how irational the guy is. He also called the Khalil Greene DP a bit too well. As I said before, I don't think the reaction during the Soriano HR was genuine, but I could at least possibly see that reaction. However, the Greene reaction made it very unbelievable.
-
I don't believe those are his actual reactions to the live broadcast. Think about it, if Pujols was up in that situation with a man on first base and he had been having such a horrible day at the plate don't you think you wouldn't be so depressed before he hit the homer? Also, he seemed to accept the fact that the groundball from Greene was going to be a double play as soon as it was hit. When he hit it, I didn't think they were going to get him at first and was totally surprised when he was out, especially by so much. Judging by the game thread, most people felt this way. I don't buy that those were his live reactions.

The pitching and lack of clutch hitting scares me. There isn't any such thing as clutch hitting. You either have hitting, or you don't. I disagree. Some guys can handle the situation and others can't. Look at Soriano's numbers with men on compared to nobody on. I'm not saying it proves my argument, but I think it shows evidence toward my argument. The relief pitching should probably scare you, but it is what it is and it's what we knew it was coming in. At least we have Marmol. Not a whole lot about this offense should scare you, aside from maybe Derrek Lee having further regressed. We get runners on. We will score lots of runs. Oh, I'm scared about the bullpen. It's just that I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of the middle innings this year. I was expecting a lot more from the SP and offense. The season is still young though.
-
That pitch was pretty high. Once again, big AB affected by a horrible call. And yes, that was horrible.
-
Haha. I saw this and agreed. But then it just made me think of what short memory we have. Sori has 4 HR, all of them contributing this year.

I hope this isn't one of those games where the pitcher is effective just because nobody has seen him yet.

Milton Bradley Suspended 2 Games (Appealing Suspension)
Sammys Boombox replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm not a fan of the players' union, but I wish they would push for more player rights when situations like this occur. It's like MLB is in lock-step with the umpires' union. As somebody who umps very competitive youth baseball I understand the idea that you can get chucked for any arguing of the zone, but sometimes in situations like that on what I'm sure Vanover thought was a border-line call you have to use your judgment and let the guy give off some steam. I wouldn't make a report on a player who barely, incidentally touched me when I made a "borderline" call in his opposition in such a big situation. -
gameday had it well in the zone (they had the Bradley strike 3 out of the zone) Pitch F/X http://brooksbaseball.net/pfx/location.php?xml=http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2009/month_04/day_16/gid_2009_04_16_slnmlb_chnmlb_1//pbp/pitchers/425794.xml&batterX=090416_151921&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=1 Well, they're wrong. The pitch to Miles was not a strike, not that it matters.
-
Nice 7,8,9 by the offense against the bad bullpen.
-
0-1 pitch was a ball.
-
I vaguely remember not liking one of the calls in that AB, but I don't remember one that bad.
-
Have these guys never seen a curveball?
-
Guzman needs to go just because I'm tired of hoping for something out of him and just seeing meat pitches fly up there to get hammered whenever they actually let him out of his AAA cage.
-
I don't think a single one of them had a bad AB. Speaking of which, strike 2 was outside on Lee.
