  1. Just heard on the SVP Show that Selig is NOT going to reverse the call.
  2. Check swing is a judgement call. There is nothing in the rulebook that states what a check swing is. Some umps say its when the bat goes across the plate, some say is when the batter breaks his wrists. So they can review a judgement call, just like they don't review holding or pass interference in the NFL. Safe/Out isn't a judgement call and in this case it was pretty clear he was out.
  3. ESPN.com is reporting that Selig will meet with advisers to review call. Might overturn it? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5246454
  4. I agree that even if he doubted the call, he had to call him out. Even the got that got the "hit" said he assumed he would be called out in that situation, when he was called safe he had a confused look on his face like he knew he was out. But you have to give Joyce credit for owning up to it and apologizing to Galarraga.
  5. That was a shame for Galarraga to have his perfect game taken away. I do give Joyce alot of credit for owning up to his mistake and apologizing to Galarraga personally. Now the right thing to do would be for Selig to say the call was blown and it was a perfect game, will it happen, probably not. But baseball needs instant replay for those kinds of calls. I was against intstant replay in baseball, but they need it now. When history is on the line and the ump admits he missed the call, the commish has to do something. And for those of you who hate baseball, don't post in here anymore then.
  6. Ken Griffey Jr has retired. Sad to see him go, one of my all-time favorites and a true baseball great. He will definitely be a first-ballot guy. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5244661
  7. what is sexual congress? what part of the gov't is that?
  8. Where the hell did he come from? I don't remember anyone talking about him before this season. He was 15-12 last year with a 3.47 ERA, which isn't bad, but I don't think anyone saw this coming. He looks like the real deal so far. So what does he have a better chance of doing, breaking Gibson's ERA record of 1.12 or winning 30 in a season?
  9. Just saw this on SI.com: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/more/05/20/landis.armstrong.doping.ap/index.html
  10. That's gotta be his. The Heavy Seas case is a dead give away lol
  11. Well that at least gives Braden something to remember him by other than yelling at ARod
  12. Where in Solomons is it? I was down there for Tiki Bar and I still have never seen the place. I remember you saying something about it before, but I just can't seem to find it haha
  13. I'd say that's a pretty accurate statement. I'll have to remember that one!
  14. I haven't tried Yuengling in a can, but it'll be on the list.
  15. Didn't know all that. For some reason to me though, bottles taste better. But either way, I'll be loading up on resurrection!
  16. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/midnight_sun/blog/2010/04/brewers_art_will_can_resurrect.html I love me some resurrection! Wish it was bottles instead of cans, but I'm excited to get some nonetheless
  17. Doesn't seem much different than the Phillies fans invading Nationals Park.
  18. I don't listen to anything Skip says. He always like to take the extreme opposite side of what everyone else believes. Pujols is the best player in the game right now and we'll retire as one of the all-time greats.
  19. What do you guys think of this? The A-Rod vs Dallas Braden story: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Dallas-Braden-blasts-A-Rod-for-breaking-unwritte?urn=mlb,236110
  20. Linceum will get plenty more throughout his career, but Roy is going to dominate the NL.
  21. Yeah no doubt. They should just give him the Cy Young now and save the trouble.
