  1. Youk lead off the inning. How does that validate your reasoning?
  2. They are chasing something fierce today. Maybe they have appointments with the ladies on Baltimore St.
  3. All three outs made on pitches 6" outside. The hack attack is not a good idea, guys.
  4. Big Lame giving up bombs in the 1st. 3-0 Texas.
  5. Holy f***, that thing is ginormous. I'll find a reduced size one.
  6. http://www.inakidsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/stride-rite-logo-300x300.jpg
  7. Maybe Burnett pitches around Bautista next time.
  8. It's really going to suck when they take Tillman out of the game. He's meat.
  9. The gates are easy. You build a brick veneer around more solid structure, like a concrete wall, or structural steel with heavy gauge metal stud framing. The solid structure accomodates the gates. The brick veneer is the finish.
  10. I could probably find som information at our company website. I work for the general contractor that built it.
  11. Don't know. Hard to tell on TV. Pure guess? Real. You don't see brick laminate much in high profile commerical construction projects. Real, full brick veneer is more common.
  12. Both of those are hypotheticals. The Twins/Mariners is a 1-1 game going into the 11th with the correct call. You don't know if that call changed the outcome of the game, as the Mariners still could have won. The Denkinger call was in the 8th, same thing. This situation was unique in that the outcome and score would have been unchanged if the call was overturned.
  13. You know, this is probably Theo's fault for not successfully petitioning MLB to have Jim Joyce removed from the crew for the Detroit/Cleveland series.
  14. Selig could have avoided such a precedent by noting that the outcome of the game was unchanged by the changed call. The next guy made an out. The final score would be 3-0 either way. He could have called it a special case decision that was made to "preserve the integrity of the game". Instead, he chickened out. Doing that would have been a bold move, and that's not Bud's thing.
  15. I agree that in this case Joyce didn't appear to be putting himself into the spotlight, so my comment, in this thread for this situation, was unwarranted. That said, the interpretation of the point to mean that they are blowing calls "on purpose" is incorrect. I don't think anyone who, like me, is tired of the umps injecting themselves into the show thinks they intentionally call it wrong. I think the issue we see is that their apparent desire to be a part of the show impacts their judgment, leading them toward making the "big call", whether it be right or wrong.
  16. That's an excellent baseball name, Connor Powers. I just hope Berman is retired by the time he makes the bigs.
  17. Wha? May: .329/.521/.683 If Youk's stride is better than that, then Teddy Ballgame can go find a short pier and take a long walk with his desire to be considered the best hitter there ever was.
  18. Dude, he's part of the show, man. Didn't you know? Everyone is there to see the umps go into histrionics when they make calls.
  19. Out. By a lot. You can't make this s*** up when it comes to the s***** umpiring.
  20. Wow, looking good.
  21. Wow, nice range from Jackson.
  22. Why aren't the Tigers' hitters making outs? Get him the f*** back out there.
  23. Locked-thef***-in.
  24. There are other relevant zeros in his line thus far. Three in one season? That's got to be a first.
  25. Sauteed in butter, or deep fried?
