El mariachi loco quiere bailar?!?!?!?
Dos veces.
You're in America, speak English.
I have never wanted to beat a team to boot them out of the post season SO BADLY than these Showboating Dodgers. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Red Sox are up 3-2 and headed back to Bahstin!
:D
Wheee! Now, between this weekend being the Head of the Charles Regatta, and games at Fenway Saturday and Sunday if necessary, I'll be sure to be avoiding Boston or Cambridge traffic at all costs!
Cards are going to the WS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite an embarrassing game for the Dodgers tonight...
And what exactly is that supposed to mean?Quote:

I'm actually glad the Dodgers didn't make it, I tired of hearing the anointment of Puig as the greatest player on the diamond. Is he good? No question, but it was a touch over the top for the baseball writers to push for him to be in the All Star game when he had been in the majors for all of 1 1/2 months.
But with the Cardinals and the Red Sox, won't the fans all want wear red as their team color? Just sayin' ...
Good game, but I am sure Iglesias won't live that error down anytime soon.
Puig and Gonzalez were ridiculous showboaters. I mean... great, you got a double, high-five the coach and then focus back on the game... don't stand there chest thumping and fist pumping over a double... for crying out loud.Quote:

You have to look at the what he did for the dodgers franchise.Quote:

When the divorce started, the team became the centerpiece for the proceedings and they were going to tear it down, had not MLB stepped in.
MLB took control and sold the team to Johnson and his group in the offseason and they weren't picked to finish anywhere near the top.

They really sucked at the beginning of the season when Puig showed up and he was able to inject 'baseball' back into a franchise that really had no business being good.
All the hoopla about him being an All Star was purely hype and BS, but the facts are that this kid can play.
I was waiting for Puig to make the catch that sent then to the World Series, then limp thru an open door in the outfield fence, never to bee seen again.
He's show up at his house, hug his wife and Mr Applegate would have to give him soul back?:eek::p:D

You will feel better when the Sox win and you don't have to hear the name Yasiel Puig for 6 months.....:eek:

I know I have had problems with wood products and splinters in my lower colon at times, but I learned to deal with it?

Now, we just have to find out how to make 'baseball mud'.....
Well that's a shame:

No more Jim Leyland?
Well, maybe he will take a different position somewhere, he just said he felt like it was time to stop managing. I doubt he's done with baseball entirely!
Last night's game had me a bit worried - did the Cardinals just forget how to play baseball suddenly? I'm not complaining - we got the win, but letting a simple pop fly drop between pitcher and catcher seems more like a Little League maneuver!
That was an odd play, but it was an odd game defensively for them across the board.
(At least I got to watch the whole game.......) Small consolation.
Yep, we looked like a bunch of clowns out there last night. Kozma is a really bad player, hopefully he gets sent back to the minors, he is not good enough for major league baseball at all. Of course Waino wasn't very good last night either and our players weren't hitting also so of course we lost the game.Quote:

Sox kick @$$!!!
They didn't kick anything last night, they couldn't cope with our young and fresh pitchers. We did the butt kicking last night, woo hoo and now on to St. Louis where there will be no DH.
It was a good game until Breslow came on and gave the game away … Still, even though we lost, I enjoy good baseball. We'll see what happens next!
I lost the signal on my commute right after Ortiz hit the homer.
I love listening to baseball on AM radio. Depending on the night, I either pick up a skip from WEEI in Boston directly, or from their affiliate in Hartford, or ESPN radio in Maryland, Cleveland, Chicago, or NYC, as the skips are stronger than the local radio stations.
The only thing missing is someone to play cribbage with while listening, but I think the boys in the blue and gold cars would object to adding that into the mix.
I am not the only one who likes listening in the car? Gotta stem from our childhood, with the games on the kitchen radio …
For confused folks, the station that carried the baseball games when we were growing up, before cable came to the hills of our small town, was only clear enough to watch when the leaves were off the trees, so most of baseball was radio only!
I love listening to baseball on AM radio. Falls in the same category mentally as fried chicken and mac and cheese.
Frankly, I prefer it to watching on TV most of the time, especially if it's a national broadcast team. I was actually considering getting a satellite radio system for the house for next season as WEEI's skip doesn't come in at the house, so I think I can get the NESN radio broadcast that way without dealing with the MLB blackout rules.
I don't think anyone gave the game away, the Cards played good baseball and that is why we won. The first game we played bad baseball and that's why the Sox won. I agree with you tho, I love good baseball and yes we will see what happens.Quote:

The rules of the time said that if a ball that was deflected by an offensive player, it could not be advanced and was a dead ball.
The officials delayed in making the call and the stadium, filled with crazed Steeler fans, would have erupted had the refs ruled against Pittsburgh.
The story AL told was that after the play the officials went into the dugout - the game was played at Three Rivers Stadium - and called up to the press box and asked "how many police can you send down to escort us out of here?"
When the person on the other end didn't give him a satisfactory answer, the ref simply said, "TOUCHDOWN STEELERS!"
----------------------------
Whenever I see a 'controversial play' that is ruled in favor of the home team, I laugh and scream "TOUCHDOWN STEELERS".....
-----------------------
I wonder if Molina did an interview with Telemundo or one of the other Spanish outlets?
Certainly the most unusual ending for a ball game I have ever witnessed! Dang obscure rules!
It really bothers me when Sox fans are pitching a fit and claiming that it was a bad call.
An interference/obstruction call does not mean that the interference/obstruction is intentional... it just means there was interference. The base runner has a right to a clear path to base. Unless one of the base players is immediately in play with the ball, they are not to interfere with base runners. And that is what happened last night.
The reason why Craig was not called out at home was because the home base ump SAW the third base ump make the interference call and waited to see if Craig would have made it to home without tripping before being tagged out. Since Craig was tagged out AT base, he clearly would have made it to base BEFORE being tagged out had he not have tripped, therefore he was called "safe" and the run was awarded to the Cardinals to win the game.
I know no one here is really "complaining", but my goodness you'd be so surprised how many people don't understand the rules of baseball, unless they directly apply to them. If the roles had been reversed and that had been a call against the Cards in the Sox favor, I would have been upset and REALLY bummed out, but I wouldn't be sitting here complaining about what a bad call it was and claim how "convenient" it was that the umps made the call for the home team... I mean, come on.
Admittedly, for being the world series, this is the sloppiest world series for both teams that I've ever seen.
Oh, and Karen, I love listening to the games on AM, too!! My only complaint is that if you don't tune in at the right moment, you may have to wait forreeeevvverrr for them to announce the score/inning.
That was pretty goofy and unusual.Quote:

The sweetest radio is done by Vin Scully.
When you go to dodger stadium you are assaulted by two things when you walk into the gates, the smell of hot dogs and Scully's voice echoing thru the crowd. People being radios and turn them up so you get this 5.1/Surround Sound/Dolby effect in the stadium.
It's the greates thing on the planet.
There are numerous rules in MLB and other sports that are interpreted, written and enforced differently than the way we learned them growing up. That's a large piece of the issue. The way that rule was enforced when I was playing LL baseball, there had to be obvious intent.
Unless you play or ump the games full time, there are wrinkles to the rules that very few know, and the rules shift over time. One of my friends is an ump for HS baseball, and they have several day long meetings during the course of the winter to discuss rules changes and emphasis on rules for the next year. It's very much a moving target.
What most are upset about is that the officials normally don't make borderline calls that can change a playoff game.
Fred Merkle is somewhere, laughing.

Quien es el Papi mas grande de todo el mundo??
Rolling I think is more the case. :p
With the obscure rule call that ended game 3, and a pick-off of a pinch runner in game 4, one just has to wonder how game 5 will end!
And the answer to your question, Richard? I think everyone has their own favorite father, but "Big Papi" is one of a kind! :) I saw a brief clip of him with his 3-year-old son several years ago, teaching him how to bat, and he was just as good a dad as one could imagine! And his son was arable, of course!
What were they growing on him? :pQuote:
