Mlb 2013!

[RICHARD]

Certainly the most unusual ending for a ball game I have ever witnessed! Dang obscure rules!

That was pretty goofy and unusual.

I laughed at the call and the interview the ump did after the game.

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.

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!

And his son was arable, of course!

What were they growing on him?

What were they growing on him?

That should have been adorable - autocorrect guessed wrong!

Poor Fred and his Boner.

That was the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Poor Fred.

Whodathunkit?

A game in this series that they actually played clean ball! (Not that I'm complaining but you have to wonder why they insist on pitching to Papi. )
