Baseball Playoffs....

I should call Amaro and Co. and offer my services as a more affordable option to strike out in BIG spots. They ONLY pay Howard 25 mil a year to swing at air, maybe if I let them know the same result could be provided by me for a far much less price (thinking around 100k), they could save themselves some serious coin. They'd be getting the SAME result whether it's me up there or Ryan "Deer in Headlights" Howard. Talk about a TIN MAN?!?

Also, if it doesn't come out that Utley has been playing through an injury, then this team is in BIG trouble moving forward. The way he played down teh stretch and into the offseason was nothing short of laughable.

PS--the homeplate ump that didnt see the ball hit the batter in the shin last night should not hold a job. Clearly altered the course of the ball and allowed the run to come home. Almost as $hitty a call as the one pitch he called a strike that was about 3.5 miles out of the zone. I'm still not sure what was worse in this series (bc they were both equally horrible), the home plate umpires or the pitch tracker thing. Not sure which one made the other look like $hit, but you'd have to wonder if Helen Keller could've done a better job calling balls and strikes in this series.

You mean the outside breaking ball (from a lefty) that supposibly caught the strike zone (for strike 3) against a right-handed batter? They called it a perfect pitch, but that sucker never got even close to getting into that strike zone.

Not the one I was talking about, but that one too. I want to say it was the 8th inning, and a left handed batter was up. The ball on the pitch tracker thing almost didnt even hit the fkn screen. Even my mom looked around the room with a WTF look on her face, that's how I KNOW it was horrible..

That said, the Giants came into this series and handled their business. Kudos to them. Posey will be a menace for a long time and Ross was a GREAT acquisition. Not sure of the intricacies of his release by the Fins, but that move certainly doesnt look mensa-like (term just for YOU scuds ) as it stands today.
