General Baseball Ramblings 07

actually if you read the rule book it say's you can't physically touch the ball or player.

Yelling boo at a player is not against the rule.

The umps made a good no call.

Can you give the yanks a break, wins don't come cheap you know.

I quoted the Rules from MLB. No where does it say physically touch the ball or player

There is no way he yelled boo. A player doesn't back off a fly ball from yell boo. He backs off cause he got called off by a player that is in a better position, in this case the shortstop.

Trust me I know all about wins being hard to come by. I just hate bush league ball.

He clearly yelled "Mine!" IMO. A-Rod is terrible at keeping out of the spotlight. Seems like this season he has been making pretty dumb decisions. I never remembered him as being like that.

RedSox biggest fan! My little Chloe watching the game....

Quote of the day (This proves Puljos is a true winner!)

"Yesterday I think I got myself out in two at-bats, chasing some bad pitches," Pujols said. "Today I wanted to make sure that I elevated the ball and put my best swing. And that's what I did. I hit four hard balls. Could it be four home runs? Who knows? But we played here, and I'll take two and the win."

Cards won today off of 2 homers by Puljos. They sure have been playing better ball in the past 2-3 weeks. And with the NL central as week and it can get, they could make a nice little run here!

Newsflash:

JD DREW FOCKING SUCKS!!!!

 

[soxmuscle]

I really expected more out of Drew and I expect by the end of the season we'll get it.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I hope so, man. He is absolutely killing us. 0-5 with 7 LOB from the leadoff spot last night.

 

[Double D]

And thus I am glad hes out of St.Louis because we suck bad enough without him!

 

[min0 lee]

This was expected, he has the talent....the looks....but no balls.

[shiznit2169]

I hope they trade that stiff anytime soon. They ought to trade him along with lugo, pena and cora for a prospect pitcher and a new shortstop. There needs to be a change in that lineup.

 

[Double D]

We will give you Preston Wilson for him!

You can have him and his 200 K's a year! But I think hes back to the minors....not sure.

I'd rather he strikeout than gound into double plays every goddamn time he's up with men on base.

If he hits anymore weak grounders to 2nd, I may smash my TV.

'Bout time the Fenway Faithful are finally booing him too. It took them long enough.

Tonight was a start...

 

[I Are Baboon]

'Bout time that cockfag did something.

 

[soxmuscle]

For as bad as he's played and batting fifth, he's third on the team in runs scored... Just throwing it out there.

 

[Triple Threat]

David Ortiz as the starting first baseman for AL All-stars? Give me a break. Granted, he's an excellent hitter, but I can think of at least 3 others who actually play first base and should be playing before a DH - Morneau, Teixeira, and Youkilis.

Ortiz's event is on Monday. It's called HR derby. Since there is no DH in this year's all-star game, regular season DH's should be restricted to pinch-hitting roles.

 

[soxmuscle]

Teixeira hasn't even played half the season. And who cares, it's fan voting. Ever since the game's rules were changed to make it actually count for something, I figured we should do away with the fans voting.

I don't want some stiff Yankee fan having a say on who does or doesn't start.. ;p

 

[tucker01]

How about Alex Rios last night

Last minute addition to the HR derby. He certainly held his own.

He would look great in pinstripes.

I can't wait till he's called up from triple A, he would really fit in well.

He has had a couple of decent years in a row, and is a good young player. I would take him in Right field any day over Abreu.

 

[min0 lee]

Abreu played decent for the Yanks last year, this year he's not doing so good.

 

[tucker01]

Rios is 7 years younger and batted .302 for last year.

Too young for the Yankees, don't you know by now they prefer old players past their prime.

LOL.... Hmmmm sounds like the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

[oaktownboy]

the HR derby was incredibly disappointing. Bonds didn't play..neither did Manny or Ortiz, Giambi, A-Rod. the only power hitters were Vlad and Howard..and Howard only hit 3 and failed to make it to the second round.

 

[tucker01]

I enjoyed it. San Fran is a tough park to hit. I don't think you would have seen much different with the big hitters there.

The first round was a bitch with the Sunset.

 

[min0 lee]

Nice looking park.

 

[tucker01]

What is the new Yankee Stadium meant to look like?
