Why?

I thought it was a good call.

In all honesty. I think he started to call it a ball but a strike on the swing, realized he should appeal it since it was a half swing, and then appealed it.

What was wrong with it?

Right or wrong, it made Danley look kind of inept on one of the biggest stages in sports. And umpires don’t need anymore help looking inept.

Those guys are so dumb.

Tim McCarver on that hard groundout to Iwamura talking about how it was so hard cause it was a “seem hop” even though we were watching replay after slow-mo replay showing the ball didn’t come anywhere close to the “seem”. Those two are the Gabe Gross and Ben Broussard of the broadcasting booth.

Rule 9.02c
Appeals on a half swing may be made only on the call of ball and when asked to appeal, the home
plate umpire must refer to a base umpire for his judgment on the half swing. Should the base umpire call
the pitch a strike, the strike call shall prevail.

the call

and thats what mccarver was saying, once he called strike he cant go back and ask for help with the check swing (which by the way was a swing)

by rentz on Oct 24, 2008 7:52 AM CDT up reply actions  

But did he ever call strike?

The batter and the catcher never gave any indication that he gave a verbal strike call.

So basically it all comes down to the fact that he raised his arm weird before calling down to 1b.

And I didn’t think it was a swing. Though it was very close. Could’ve seen it either way.

strike

i couldnt hear the call, but it looked like he called a strike. Either way i think he went around far enough on the check swing that it should have been a strike.

The good news if you're Filly Phan

is that because of the travel days you could conceivably start Cole Hamels games, 4 and 7 on three days rest each. I’d be doing that if I was them. He’s by far their best pitcher and it’s nowhere near close. Have they announced their starters schedule? If they start Moyer in this series Charlie Manuel should be deported.

What are the odds Gabe Gross makes that play Baldelli made at the end of that last inning?

I’d say 1 in 100,000.

More likely he’d have dropped the flyball and then thrown it into the right field bleachers. “What, you’re not supposed to do that?” he’d say while continuing to suck at baseball.

I know Miles will be pissed but she is. Slutty pics on the interwebs and then she’s dating a guy that’s 21. Why isn’t he arrested?

Was talking to a friend earlier about why her BF isn’t arrested for dating her and he told me that she had some slutty pics on the interwebs. Google and sure enough. What a slut.

In most states there are age proximity laws.

I’m pretty sure in FLA as long as you’re 24 or under and she’s 16 or older it’s okay.

Remember when Elijah Dukes knocked up the 17 year old who was living with a relative of his as a foster child? Yah, that’s why he didn’t get arrested.

My fave line:

The girl, expected to give birth Nov. 5, told investigators she and Dukes had consensual sex on the living room sofa. She said Dukes got angry when she and another person confronted him about the pregnancy.

“Yeah, we sat down and told him and he got mad and threw a Gatorade at me,” she told investigators.

What a class act.

I'm here

Sound off on the game though. I’m making my monthly mix CD, loaded with songs I’m currently obsessed with. I’ll play the heck out of it for the next few weeks, then put it away. It’s fun to pull it out a few months from now and reflect on where my mind was when I picked these songs though.

I used to do that

Now I just make a giant playlist I listen to on my ipod all the time. It starts with about 400 tracks, then after a couple weeks I weed it out some, and I keep doing this until I only have about 20 tracks, and then I start over again.
