Ummm

For those who were watching the 9th inning of the Rays/ChiSox game, can someone tell me how the Jermaine Dye soft line drive to Jason Bartlett, which Bartlett dropped, but still had plenty of time to throw Dye out at first base, but he threw high and drew Carlos Pena off the bag, although Pena was still able to tag Dye before he touched first, even though the ump missed it and called Dye safe...

Can someone tell me how that was called a single, rather than an error on Bartlett?

Yes, but I am way to drunk to do a fanpost right now

Well, already

the Rangers are the team with the least number of playoff wins in MLB! They’ve got that going for them.

I’m shocked they don’t sell more tickets.

Obviously, the official scorer felt sorry for the Rays

and decided to give them a break by calling it a hit.

Duh.

In all seriousness

Shouldn’t that have actually been two errors?

You mean Aybar

Not Pena, playing 1B. No clue, was certainly E6.

Ha Ha Ha!

I wonder how much money S-U-C-K-Rod just cost himself by losing the shit out of that game for the Halos.

Picturing Rev crying into his popped collar is making me so happy right now.

F the Halos.

That was awesome.

I have just 1 request.

DSheppard:

Please put an animated gif together with the following sequence

- 2-3 KRod jesus points fading to Drew’s HR and KRod’s subsequent reaction. If you could find a place to put “Fail.” in there it would be extra awesome.

I don’t even care if it’s the biggest animated gif ever, it would be so worth it.

that would be awesome

I just can't find myself to have a horse in the Boston/LA series

I hate them both and kind of just want them to exhaust each other, go to 5 games, and hopefully let Tampa Bay (or hell, even Chicago) scoot right by.

I feel you, dog

I was rooting for Anaslime the whole game until sucK-Rod came on. I actually like several of their players. (Actually mainly just Tex and Vladdy.)

As much as I hate the shit out of Boston, I hate sucK-Rod like a million times more.

Maybe got the tag on

Not sure. But still, if you bumble the ball yet still have time to get it to the base, E-5. It’s not even a question. (two spaces after each period).

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Maybe it's an extension of

All the little things that Bartlett does that doesn’t show up on the scoreboard.

After all, “you really have to watch Jason Bartlett play every day to understand how much he means to this team”.

by Keynes on Oct 4, 2008 2:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Because Bartlett has plus defense

The scorer knew that there is no way it could’ve been an error because Bartlett just doesn’t make errors.

Or was it that Dye always hits the ball so hard that you’d have to be superhuman to catch and hold on to it so there’s no way he could’ve reached on an error.

More probably the scorer was afraid Ozzie would go balistic after the game and wanted to remove himself from scrunity.
