    way to almost blow the easiest defensive play of your life, Lilly.
  5. Careless
    ok, espn's gamecast is ahead of my fox feed (at least for ball 3). FTH?

    Did she even do the lineup? I thought she was just being a ditz... if she really did the lineups I didn't hear it. she was supposed to do the lineups and didn't.

    pujols grounded out to short on a 2-0 pitch and it's 2-2 on lopez
  8. Careless
    ok, has Theriot's arm gotten weaker in the past 3 weeks?
  9. Careless
    that was hideous
  10. Careless
    swung at the first pitch and managed to hit it a whole 8 feet

    Being a manager and being an umpire are two completely different things. You can't compare them since, obviously, there are way more things that go into being a manager than being an umpire. So why doesn't a defense of "he's a professional" work for managers? It's easier to see when an umpire screwed up. You can even watch it from multiple angles and in slow motion, something that doesn't work for managers and wouldn't help them anyway. How do you know that umpires aren't getting punished? Look at the NFL. Refs get graded down all the time for making incorrect calls but only the ref in the San Diego-Denver game getting graded down made news. And I'm sure umpires miss calls sometimes. I'm not arguing that they're perfect. What I am saying is they've got a much, much better grasp of the strike zone than some kid watching on TV posting on the internet. well, the fact that they're almost never fired for being bad has something to do with my thinking that they're not getting fired for being bad. After spending a few minutes looking around, I've found one story about a guy being fired for umping-related stuff and he was fired 20 years ago.

    You might be thinking of the Miles walk-off which I had to witness in person... That was probably it. All those stupid Cardinals MI's are the same to me. I'm always getting those two confused, far more than any other two players in baseball. I'm not sure why.

    Maybe it's not the umps... Or.... it.... definitely...... is....... Think about it. Who's more likely to be seeing the strikezone correctly, a bunch of professional umpires standing right behind the plate or some kid on a message board who is watching on TV with a centerfield camera positioned off-center? I wonder. Are you serious? Nope. I'll trust Cynosure to tell me how well the umps are calling the strikezone rather than, you know, trusting the professionals. So... you enjoyed Baker as a manager? A lot easier to fire a manager than an umpire, too, and that's ignoring the fact that people like you are assuming that the umpires are right, when managers at least have to get wins to stay hired.
  16. Careless
    awesome.
  17. Careless
    that thing CSN does showing the pitch location has them 3 baseball widths outside
  18. Careless
    both strikes were far outside, looks like Edmonds mumbled something about it, and he was ejected
  19. Careless
    this has been quite a fascinating strike zone for the past few innings.
  20. Careless
    wth?? Yeah, gotta make a man out of him at some point. They've been very strict on his pitch counts all season at 90 or so and then they let him go 115 2 weeks before the playoffs? Especially after his recent discomfort...I don't get it. Gotta get him the win, dude.
  21. Careless
    wow. great pitching to Fielder. He didn't come close to any of those
  22. Careless
    fake fake rally!
  23. Careless
    What an idiot
  24. Careless
    or a 4 pitch inning
  25. Careless
    almost threw IB 1 to the wall
