This is amazing...
I was on ESPN’s scoreboard waiting to see the game end on there. It says Geovany Soto, 0-3.
Then it switches to Batting: Geovany Soto 1-4, HR 3RBI
Awesome. Now lets take advantage.
DeRosa: And who is the best and who is the worst card player?
Dempster: I think the best is yourself. [ . . .] I think the worst player is D-Lee. I think he bets every time just to bet.
And I rather fancy the thought of sending the Brewers into Cincy
with a tired pen because Sveum burned through it twice in the last two games, including extras today…

DeRosa: And who is the best and who is the worst card player?
Dempster: I think the best is yourself. [ . . .] I think the worst player is D-Lee. I think he bets every time just to bet.

Both pitches quite a bit outside

I believe it what they’re referred to.

For anyone watching on TV
how close were the pitches?
Just the other day I saw Theriot posing on a perfect bunt. He was thrown out by 65 feet——later intentionally walked in retaliation.-Hammer

how can mlb employ such idiots to ump games
"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
Somebody said in an earlier thread
this is the worst umpiring crew in the majors

Home run. I am calling it.

Terrible call. That ball was not a strike!
What a gutless move by the ump to toss him in the middle of the at bat.

You can't write this kind of stuff
Pinch hit Jack coming up
"What a great call! Your doing a fantastic job, but people expect me to come out here and be upset. So I'm gonna kick some dirt, you understand?" - Lou Pinella
What kind of minor league umpire
pulls that bush stuff now? In a tie game- in the 11th? A warning sure, but an EJECTION?
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)
and in the MIDDLE of the count?
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE! (#13031 on the Cubs season ticket waiting list...)

to be honest
he is handling it well. They have not really talked about how apparently bad the two strike calls were.
