Ten bucks says Hinske GIDP's.

[Cocos Disciples]

Close.

[TedWilliams101]

You know, as much as I don't mind umps expanding or shrinking the k-zone, the rules do state that the zone is width of the plate from the knees to the top of the letters, with depth, so a pitch that crosses the plate is a strike. Now, from the official rules, there really are no "exceptions" Umps have been seen more as an art when it really should be a science. I agree that it might add to the game having varying strikezones, and the fact that it has been that way since the start, but thats not what the official rules say. That is the reason I like the idea of actually using Questec, with Umps, to accurately call a game. People might not like the game being that accurate, but I think in today's age, and the way the game is becoming more of a science, technology should be used.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well, you all owe me five bucks for half of a DP.

[Rdsxmbnt]

dped with another hit

[BoSox21]

5 ABs in a row for Duddy getting on base. the man needs to start getting respect from this place

[TedWilliams101]

Damn it. At least he's at first, that ball was Crushed.

[BoSox21]

Schill is having a bit of a problem getting that first batter but hes been getting the big outs. hopefully that continues

[Cocos Disciples]

Schill also having problems keeping his head on. 2 balls have been right at his domepiece.

 

2-0 after 4.

[BoSox21]

id like to see us break the game open here

[TedWilliams101]

Clemens is going to NY. f***.

[ORS]

Clemens signs with the Yankees.

 

EDIT: Shocker.

[BoSox21]

Clemens is a Yankee....oh f***....

[Cocos Disciples]

This should make things interesting. Schilling vs. Clemens----battle of enormous egoes.

Just got back from Spider-Man 3, omg what a f***ing movie

 

Ok the offense even with the lead has been embarrasing since yesterday. Is that 20 men left on base through the last 13 innings? They keep getting baserunners and its Sydney f***ing Ponson.

 

Hmm I believe Dusty is coming around, 5 for his last 8

[TedWilliams101]

O well, he's old. He could very well get injured or just not do that well in a powerful AL east. Still makes the Yankees stronger though. Damn it.

[BoSox21]

I hope he gets absolutely lit up

[Cocos Disciples]

I hope he gets absolutely lit up

 

Hey me too!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Drew should definitely go yard here.

[BoSox21]

Hey me too!

 

don't humor me

[riverside sluggers]

all star offense, tampa bay bullpen to back him up

[Cocos Disciples]

don't humor me

 

Cranky. :thumbdown

 

Bad throw to 2nd by Ponson, 3-0.

[schillingouttheks]

This is exactly why we need to win as many games as possible, and right now. We need to bury the Yankees while they're down and make it very tough for them to climb out when they're healthy.

[BoSox21]

Cranky. :thumbdown

 

Bad throw to 2nd by Ponson, 3-0.

 

I deserve it for stating the obvious but im just really pissed right now

[Youk Of The Nation]

That wasnt really a home run.

[Rdsxmbnt]

4-0 sox

[TedWilliams101]

4 runs. Nice opposite field hit for Tek.

[riverside sluggers]

get ready for jacko troll threads

 

The Yankees rotation will be the better rotation from here on out. Ditto for the bullpen because all starters will no longer have short outings to keep that bullpen rested. I was right, never wrong. Even if such a thing happens I'll counter with rants that make you forget what the main discussion was

[Youk Of The Nation]

Damn it. Gameday froze on Lowell's out.

[MANNYHOF24]

My thought on Clemens is that it makes this race very even. If the yankees didn't make this move than I think it would have been a long summer in the Bronx.
