Hey Talbot,

Any idiot can win a ball game, by hurting the player on a team he's pitching against. To bad that the American League has the D.H. rule, cause I'd love to see you and that spic who hit Mark Teixeira in the back come to the plate to hit.

I know that the balls thrown at the Yankees ? ? is done to put them out of action. However, it didn't work. The Yankees still kicked ass.

Also, tell the interpreter of that Fausto Carmon to tell Carmona, to learn English.

A die hard Yankee fan!

THUD

That Colorado pitcher is going to throw a no hitter. They have nothing remotely close to a hit through 5. New hitting coach stinks.

horseofcourse · #**1003** 06-21-2011, 09:01 PM

We got a hit. awesome.

clyde · #**1004** 06-21-2011, 09:40 PM

thud!

clyde · #**1005** 06-21-2011, 10:04 PM

I quit...that's it.

Baseball sucks

clyde · #**1006** 06-21-2011, 10:31 PM

blech!!

This is the last time I quit,HC.

I'm sorry to leave you defending against the filthy savages here.

But it was certainly a lot of fun.

I've had the privelege of watching these last two games as all Rocky games are shown on TV where I live, I know how exciting!! They have also reinforced my hate for baseball.

I think we are down to Dopey now. Look at his last 3 games. dopey appears to have some intestinal fortitude...

Sunday...2-2 tie in 11th, 3 run home run
Monday...down 8-6 in 8th, 2 out rbi single gets them very close.
Tuesday...down 3-1 in 8th, leadoff hit, starts two run rally to tie
down 4-3 in 9th, 2 out triple giving them another chance for extras

America's dopey.

the 9th inning was one of the most tragic things I've seen in my lifetime. Manny pinch ran for Hafner in the 8th as he was go ahead run, I guess he had to do it, but 1st and 3rd in 9th, two outs he's left with the decision of Orlando Cabrera, Everett, and Urns to hit. Sort of like choosing which means of capital punishment you want. He chose the last one I would choose. Yes he chose Urns. My son said, "dad, Choo is on deck!", I said, I'm 95 percent certain Urns will strike out...I actually said "urns". Houston Street proceeded to throw 6 straight balls to Urns, and yes, Urns swung at 3 of them. Any time a ball player is swinging at pitches Here's Jhonny wouldn't even dream of swinging at, it's a human tragedy. Urns makes Jhonny look like Joe Dimaggio.

I hate basebally.

I once went 3/4 off Chad Ogea in a high school game back in 1988.

That's awesome! Although most went 3 for 4 off Ogea in his career.

Did you really?

He actually had a couple pretty good years for the Tribe.

And that was about it.

What position did you play?

Wasn't he one of the guys involved in that tragic boat accident in Spring Training?

That was Steve Olin, Tim Crews, and Bob Ojeda. Olin and Crews died.

He wasn't exactly unhitable at the pro level, but at the time he did do a fair job as a 3 starter. However in high school he was pretty tough.

No kidding?

Southpaw is good.Sounds like you were pretty good.he was a junk thrower in the majors, but would guess that stuff could be very hard to hit in hs,college.So..was it? What does does that stuff look like from someone who can throw it well?

Will be back later...anxious to see.

He was a nibbler with his CB, and very good at changing speeds with his CB and FB. He was no good high in the zone with any of his pitches, especially his CB since it was 3/4.

That was his ticket in the majors, too.Interesting.

Thanks so much.

Hey.

I notice most starters throw about 60% strikes.Tomlin usually is very close to 70%.

That doesn't happen too often from what I see.

Let's see how he does tonight.

Should be fun.

AMERICA'S TEAM!!!!

I never doubted them.
