Go Sox!!! I'm so excited, I can't stand it!

Baseball God.


JUST because they are named the "Angels" doesn't mean they get special treatment.

Poor Alex.

ESPN radio was wailing on him this morning.

Did anyone else hear about the guy in Houston that caught both homerun ball on sunday??....He is GIVING them to the HOF soon....

THAT'S a true fan!!!!

I know I should be happy for the White Sox winning last night, but I can't help but feel we didn't deserve it. Granted we wouldn't have lost, but would have gone into extra innings.

What does everyone think about that call? I think the umpires said it best when they said the replay was "inconclusive."

I am the furthest thing from a Sox fan as you can get so I have a totally unbiased opinion on this. The umpire supposedly said he saw "a change of direction" in the ball, meaning it hit the ground first. When Terry and I first saw the replay, we couldn't figure out what was going on because it looked like the catcher caught it cleanly, and the batter obviously swung and missed making it a 3rd strike, so we had no idea what was going on.

Like you say, the game would have gone into overtime and could have gone either way if he had been out, but this adds a little excitement and drama, which translates into better ratings....

I LOVE baseball and watch it every chance I get...there is a call in almost every single game that is questionable and one team benefits...tomorrow night there will be a call that benefits the Angels....it's the give and take and what I love about the game!!

I'm still rooting for my precious Astros!!

The part that bugs me about "the call" is that the umpire in question may try to even things out on another call.

Mr Umpire was met by the OCPD and MLB security when he flew in...
The people at Anaheim stadium assured that the ball park was a "safe enviroment...."


That means that some friggin yahoo called in some threats against this poor guy....

PEOPLE! It's only SPORTS!!!!

That's what scares me, too!

Do you remember what happened with Steve Bartman (the guy who "interfered" in the Cubs game) 2 years ago?

That guy had to leave Chicago! I remember the next day, getting e-mails of him home address, telephone number and even his work information!
