Default Longoria Tag

Is it just me or when they showed the freeze frame of Longoria tagging Rollins, did it look like he was sticking his glove up his butt?

Maybe I should move this comment over to here.

If these are the best umps MLB has to offer, this league is in trouble.

Helping out the Phils or not, they have been a phucking joke all series long.


and Rollins has been playing so tight a$$ed all post-season that you couldnt fit a greased beebe up his mud chute.

Getting out only giving up one is big there for the Rays. For a sec, I didn't see Sonnastine getting out of the 1st.

This is the AMERICAN WAY to do things: preach FAIRNESS then try to make the game as unfair as possible (that way the fans won't feel left out -- homefield advantage, and such BS). Too bad there's no REPLAY available (like there is in HORSE RACING) to make it possible to get some of these calls correct. (Actually there is, but they don't really want to use it, as the game would be TOO fair then.) I refer you to some of the decisions of the STEWARDS for an example of how well things can work.

The baseball purists (idiots IMO) think it would take the human element out of the game. To me, if it means the CORRECT decision would be made on all questiionable calls (except for balks, balls and strikes), I say go for it. I would hate for a team to be unrightfully robbed of a chance to win the game, esp. meaningful ones like this.

The games are just too damn long already. Let's face it, there are so many bang-bang plays. What are you going to do replay them all? I am sure that they could come up with some sort of challange system, but I just think you will never see it happen.

Would be the route I went if I were Selig. Maybe like 2 or 3 a game only, and could only be used in certain situations. I would much rather have the game extended 10-15 minutes than to have a horrible call possibly decide the fate of a team. Call me crazy. I agree though, that games can be drawn out. If a few of these post-season games were played in like June or July, I'd have called it a night before the 7th inning stretch.

There is really no reason not to start these games at 7-7:30. You are still going through the primetime slot. More people might watch if they thought they had a chance of seeing the whole game. But with the games ending so late, why get caught up in a game, when you know it's going to end around midnight and you will be fast asleep by then?

BOOYAH!!!!

If your going to give the Big 6 RyHo Kid a breaking ball, make sure it breaks and doesnt hang over the plate like that. If it breaks, he's screwed and will go golfing for it. If it doesnt, well....

TANKING....They may have blast all the load they had after beating your sox. I thought Blanton would possibly do that, but not Moyer. Cannon thought Moyer might do that, but not Blanton.

Their pitching has been horrendous, though it really showed up in the box score last night...The results of the 2 previous games could have been just as lopsided had they gotten half of their runners lob across.... To not be able to hit Moyer is unfathomable... hopefully the Maddon has one more inspirational pep talk in 'em... I think if they can get this back to St. Pete, Philly will start s-ing themselves...

Anybody else when Joe the Lumbar went deep?

I really hope that the Phils can play well tonight, and the bats keep working and Cole has his best stuff.... Cause as a Philadelphia sporty-fan, I would be REALLY nervous going back to Tampa!
