10/8- ALDS Game 1 BOS @ LAA

[Dipre]

You know, we should all calm down.

The extra outs prevented Lester from getting beyond the 6th and now RR is going to blow the game wide open. This is your typical KC pitcher who shits all over himself when he is in a big post season spot for the first time. A walk, a HBP and he botches a play the half the people in the stands could have made. Some of us would have turned two on that. The umps cost us, because RR got in the game in the 7th when Lester should have gotten through 7.

[Dojji]

Yeah, the officiating didn't put us behind, but it sure as heck made it harder to come back.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm out. Good night everyone.

[yeszir]

I wish my life was like The Sims and I could just buy a really awesome bed and feel less tired after the same amount of sleep.

One last bit of irony... that first base ump who should be parking cars... His name is CB Bucknor.

Different spelling, same difference.

I love when the Japanese guys put the glove over the face to talk to the catcher. As if somebody could actually read their lips. lol

What are the odds that Martinez speaks Japanese?

[yeszir]

That was one of the better things that could have happened.

[TheKilo]

Wow, that's huge.

 

I think he was safe though

[a700hitter]

Strange DP. I don't think he was out at 3rd.

[yankees228]

I'd say the Red Sox deserved that one.

[soxfan17881]

How can Scioscia complain about calls with a straight freakin' face?

f*** off, Bay.

[Dipre]

Wow.

[soxfan17881]

Unreal.

[Jasonbay44]

Ugh.

Nice throw by Drew.

A hobby of his is refinishing furniture.[1]

 

In a 2003 Sports Illustrated survey given to current major league players, Bucknor was voted as the league's worst umpire, with 20.7% of the vote.[2]

 

In an updated 2006 Sports Illustrated survey given to current major league players, Bucknor was again voted the league's worst umpire, with 21% of the vote.[3] In 2008, Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports also called him the worst umpire.[4]

 

During cold weather games, Bucknor wears a long-sleeve pullover shirt behind the plate, instead of the plate jacket. He is known to be very dramatic when calling third strikes.

 

lol

[TheKilo]

I bet Lackey pitches the 8th, and he wouldn't have if the Angels didn't score.

[rhet]

Strange DP. I don't think he was out at 3rd.

 

I thought the replay showed a clear tag when he came off the bag.

[TheKilo]

lol

 

It was even funnier before they locked it for editing, I think.

 

"It is a little-known fact that Bucknor is the inventor of an umpire-specific, miniature "Magic 8 Ball" (e.g. "Signs point to safe") that he uses to call plays at first base. He possesses superhuman hand speed similar to quick-draw artists, enabling him to consult the ball and then conceal it again before making the call--without being picked up by most cameras. Bucknor is also prone misunderstanding the rules of baseball, saying "Wait, when the ball is in the glove and you touch a runner with the glove it's the same as actually touching him with the ball itself? Wow, I didn't know that."

[TedWilliams101]

Am I a bad fan to say "just get the killing over with so I can get back to football?". They need to shorten the regular season, 162 games + playoffs is just too much.

 

I'd love to get back to the World Series, but a part of me rather just lose to the Angles than get slaughtered by the Yankees.

[TheKilo]

Bucknor sucked Bud Selig's or Mike Port's cock, which is the only reason why he was allowed on the field tonight.

 

He was last seen with an Angels paycheck in his back pocket.

On Oct. 8, 2009, Bucknor made two terrible calls against the Boston Red Sox during Game 1 of the American League Division Series. In between innings, he admitted, "not understanding why they didn't let Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder drive a car."

 

"What's the big deal?" Bucknor said. "I call games just fine!"

 

During the off-season, Bucknor, who is legally blind, speaks at the Helen Keller Institute for Sensory Impaired Children.

Kotchmann PHing. This should be a DP.

[rhet]

This is absurd.

[a700hitter]

Kotchman is 0-10 as a PH.

Yes, yes you are, but we knew that before this post.
