bigpoison

McCourt and Selig should have punch each other in the throat.

allan selig finally has given me 1 reason to not hate him.

I see Victor Martinez has picked up his annual stolen base. Cool  Yesterday's stolen base was the 4th in his 10-season career, and he has now had 1 in each of the past 3 seasons.  Ah, well, they didn't hire him for his legs.

Atleast his overall batting average is above the Mendoza line. I've seen him hit a Grand Slam too...

kerhsaw and kemp are all I have. clayton was out of this world. now if mccourt would just die.

Braves vs Pirates Tuesday night after 19 innings an ump makes a "questionable" call and the game ends. Not surprisingly fans are pissed, but was it "the worst call in history". I replayed the video and I couldn't tell if the player was safe or not.

So what do you think was the "Worst Call in Baseball History"? If you can find a link to the video post it too.

Not the worst call in history as this partially depends on the magnitude of the game (See 1985 world Series, not sure if it is in your link). But, it was clear the umpire wanted to go home.

1985 Cardinals/Royals World Series:  I don't think Denkinger ever lived that bad call down.

Last year's no-hitter that wasn't, by Armando Gallaraga, had a pretty egregiously bad call by Joyce. It was a regular season game by a couple of also rans, though, so I wouldn't put it in the same category as the Denkinger blown call.

if any of you are lucky enough to pick up kuroda from the dodgers before the trade deadline, enjoy. he's got to be one of the more solid pitchers i've seen around the past couple years. if only the dodgers could've score some runs for him this season. dude is 6-13 with a 3.10 (or so) era. stinkin' bums.
bigpoison

Was it Doumit behind the plate?  Maybe he was having visions of Buster Posey and Ray Fosse running through his head?

Granted, Julio Lugo is no Charlie Hustle.

Looked out to me.

Sort of like the 4-hour jury deliberation after O.J.'s 9-month murder trial.

According to TSN, here are the top ten defensive plays so far this season . Just for fun, I would like to know which of these plays you think is more impressive.

I vote for number 9, he flew throught the air and then seemed to hover above the grass for a split second.
