April 4th vs. The New York Yankees: Opening Day

[italstallianion]

I don't know, the hand looked like it was in there. I didn't think that Cameron was out.

[TheMino007]

Cameron with the run prevention....for the Yankees!!! But that was s*** his hand was in way before the ball got there

[ZonaSoxFan]

Is it me or did Sabathia eat an entire cow once a day during the off season? He looks a bit.... more.. rotund.

[a700hitter]

Bad cal by the first base ump. He was back in safely.

[Spudboy]

It wasn't even close.

[Youk Of The Nation]

And the cow's family. Also the owner of the farm, and most of the Haitian quake victims.

He wasn't, but the 1B ump couldn't resist the opportunity for the emphatic punchout, not on opening night.

 

When will these chumps realize nobody is there for their calls?

He looks much larger.

161 Million Dollars can buy you a lot of beef.

Reminds me of Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun

[BoSox21]

God forbid MLB brings in video review for calls like that. Why get the call right when the game can end 5 mins earlier?

I was having flashbacks to '09 ALDS Game 1, the CB Bucknor Classic.

Yeah ask A-Rod

[yeszir]

I have a hard time believing that Dr Dre is a sox fan.

[ORS]

I think they should start fining the umps when they grandstand with the call. That's the only way to take the "Look at me" factor out of them doing their job.

[bsox0407]

Yeah ask A-Rod

 

His is a different kind of meat. ===>

[ZonaSoxFan]

I have a hard time believing that Dr Dre is a sox fan.

 

Agreed.

[BoSox21]

Something tells me Ellsbury is gonna splatter against the monster like a bug on a windshield at some point this year.

[ORS]

His is a different kind of meat. ===>

Yeah, it doesn't help the joke when you point out the obvious innuendo.

[yeszir]

I mean, Bay/Manny probably wouldn't have even gotten to that ball so...

[bsox0407]

Yeah' date=' it doesn't help the joke when you point out the obvious innuendo.[/quote']

 

It is called Keaneing the Joke. It is my style.

[Dipre]

I think Beckett has somehow unlearned the basics of pitching just for tonight's game.

Nevermind, I read that you said they would have eaten it...

I really hate when the umps think that they are part of the event. Does anybody remember Ron Luciano. He was a showboating ump who became an announcer. Yaz hated his showboating and inserting himself as a spectacle. Anyway, in Luciano's book "The Empire Strikes Back" he recounted an interaction with Yaz when Yaz was in a slump. Luciano used to like to talk to the players during the game even when he was umpiring the plate. He's ask them about their families etc. Yaz stepped into the box this one day and turned to Luciano and said: "My wife is fine, my kids are fine, I haven't had any good Polish food lately, and my son Mike is hitting .400. Now shut the f*** up and let me hit.

[soxfan17881]

What's with the surprise, everyone. Seeing a game without a dicked-up call or two is a rarity. Bud Selig should hand that issue to his dumbass select committees: "What should we do about these dick-weed umpires?"

[ORS]

Captain Obvious isn't a style, it's an affliction.

[TheMino007]

why call a curveball on 3-2 when you know Beckett doesn't have the feel for it tonight?

I should do a Captain Morgan commercial.

Ahhh... No one swept the plate with such flair!

[ORS]

Dude, don't walk this chucker to face Jeter with the sacks full.
