  2. I remember hearing that a long time ago people thought that curveballs were just optical illusions. Pretty cool how that works.
  3. you ^See? I typed the whole word out and I survived. You can do it too. Oh damn, I did it again.
  4. itd be hilarious if ryan freakin zimmerman broke the hit streak record.
  5. You can see the third base umpire point out the interference in that clip. As soon as that happened, the play was dead. Everything that happened afterwards, whether all three runners scored or all three runners were tagged out, was inconsequential. At the time of the interference, the bases were loaded with nobody out, so that is the way that play resumed. The umpires let them play it out since stopping play in a baseball game at a situation like that isn't really all that practical. No whistles, no buzzers, etc.
  6. Him and Bradley both play the rest of the season with no problems. That'd be pretty funny.
  7. I think that was two or three years ago, because Angel Pagan was the baserunner in question. Somebody hit a ball off the wall and as Pagan rounded second base he ran into the Sox' shortstop. This caused a bit of a logjam on the basepaths and Pagan wound up being tagged out, but it didn't count since there was interference. Hawk thought the call on the field should have been that it was a triple play. Edit: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070624&content_id=2046520&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc Towards the bottom they start talking about the play
  8. Personally, i think this is a great idea. I'll for sure be watching.
  9. I always liked Corey, alot. But yeah, definitely time to call it quits.
  10. Not sure if its been mentioned, and I know that it wouldn't excuse it and that we'll never know one way or the other. But, after signing the big contract with the dodgers in spring training, and all that stuff Manny said about having to work extra hard to catch up with his teammates, I guess its possible that Manny was clean up until this season, then took steroids as a way to catch up quickly to his teammates. I'm inclined to believe him when he says that he's taken and passed around 15 tests within the past 5 seasons. Otherwise I'm sure somebody would be able to call BS on it, and would.
  11. Ok, Chad has had his fun. Get him the hell back to AAA.
  12. Would this be normal for this stage after surgery, or is this really bad news for him?
  13. Baseball goes 2-3-2 on home/road games. It's kinda dumb, I like basketball's setup better. Although I despise basketball and its playoffs.
  14. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back down to AAA when Z gets off the DL.
  15. those tshirts would definitely not be funny Carlos Mencia and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour would beg to differ. Oh snap, I think I just proved your point. Most of those shirts on that site are tired, cliche jokes that prey upon the lowest common denominator. I'm going to suggest a shirt design for that site that will be a catch-all for their more frugally-minded customer: "I'm a white heterosexual American male. If you're not like me, you're different. And different is bad." I'm still just spit-ballin' that one, it's not 100% finished. I may include a "[expletive]" somewhere in there because lessening ones status by equating them with gays is always hilarious, amirite? I never once said that they're mature. Racial stereotypes make me laugh. Every race has a few. They all make me laugh. I'm white. Make a joke about my dancing ability, jumping ability, self-centeredness, or any other white stereotype out there and I will laugh at it. Its not a racist thing, its not a "if I say this it'll make me a badass" thing. They're simply funny to me.
  16. In my mind its clearly a catch, especially with the transfer. Those that don't think it is, rewatch the video and pretend its fukudome and not Ankiel.
  17. He took three steps and had full control of the ball, it should certainly be an out. Just because he ran head first into a wall and that caused him to drop it shouldn't mean he doesn't get credit for catching it.
  18. Wow, I paid way too much attention to pointing out your simple error and not nearly enough on how much this lineup blows. Holy crap.
  19. When you live in a city with no decent jobs, no good bars, and that only has any relevance to the outside world during the hall of fame ceremonies, you need to find humor anywhere you can.
