Baseball 2013

I was curious and looked up the rule.  The definition of obstruction (by a fielder) gives an example.  The example happens to almost exactly describe the play.

Yeah, they're going over & over it on MLB TV.  Joe Torre is on right now explaining further-- intent is irrelevant.

Outcry from Bahhston fans on espn.com and Facebook is hilarious.

Tough loss for one of my favorite players.

What a crazy game last night, at tleast the good guys got the win.

Even though my team won, I hate to see games end like that.  It just doesn't quite feel as good as a game without the controversy.  I don't hate it like the call shouldn't have been made though.  I'm not in the swallow the whistle at the end of the game party.  If a rules violation affects the outcome of the game, don't the officials decide the game if they didn't call it, giving the othe rteam the advantage?  The player that violated the rules help decide the game, not the official that saw and correctly called the violation. 

Not that anyone here has made that arguement yet *waiting on Tim* but it is out there and seems rather popular with the mouthbreathing folk.

Nope. The rules are the rules.

I had this game written off as a loss with Lance Lynn starting it.  I the 7th inning, I'm calling it for the Red Sox.  Tomorrow night is a must-win.  Waino is due for a strong outing.

You need to syenergize more.

He lacks focusness.

What the fuck, people.

I don't get it. The media player won't show video on my home computer but it will on the computer at school which is at least 5 years older and way crappier. I watched game 4 at school and listened to game 5 on the radio when I got home. Needless to say, I'm pleased. This has been an incredibly entertaining world series so far.

Pretty tough for the Cardinals to win a series where Wainwright loses twice.  I guess it all comes down to Aggie Wacha.

Honestly, I'm surprised the Sox have gotten this far. The pitching of Detroit and St. Louis has just been superb and I feel like we're just managing to scrap by via guts alone.

And they keep pitching to Ortiz.  I don't question managers very often, but that plus starting Craig last night were bad decisions.

I think Tim was an alternate bat boy once.
