If they can find a way to attack his dreadlocks, they can defeat him.
-
And now Greece has gone ahead 2-1 rendering the move even dumber. Probably the end of the tourney for Nigeria.
-
Argentina!
-
Nice to see Papi get the power back
-
Juan Pierre should bunt
-
Yea, I've been pretty impressed with the Rosenthal silencer
-
Considering the injuries and uneven workload he's had over the past two seasons, I'd expect inconsistency from him.
-
Someone keep this game in mind if the Sox miss out on the WC by a game.
-
If that's what I'm gonna be categorized as, then sure. I was very sympathetic to Joyce pretty much as soon as I saw how apologetic he was. But then again, I also think this should be the final straw for implementing instant replay for everything but balls and strikes.
-
I get that there are too many umpires putting themselves in the spotlight lately but what I don't get is why this continues to be brought up in this case. This is one situation there's no way the umpire would want his name associated with. There's a difference between Bill Hohn/Joe West and Jim Joyce. A big difference. EDIT: Further to my point earlier about this getting more mainstream notoriety than an actual perfect game, the poll on CNN.com right now is something to the effect of "Should MLB credit Armando Galarraga with a perfect game?" . There was never anything about "Should Roy Halladay now be considered among the greatest pitchers of all-time?"
-
I definitely see your point and agree. That's why I think the magnitude of the call negatively affected his judgment.
-
I refuse to chalk this one up to the "umpires trying to be the show" argument. I really believe Joyce knew the magnitude of the call he was about to make and that somehow threw off his judgement. To his defense, and I know they're trained to make this call, the bang-bang play as first and being forced to make the call immediately has always seemed to be one of the most difficult calls to make in the refereeing of any sport. I'm just really not sure how anyone could think Joyce blew the call on purpose to ruin Galarraga's perfect game. It's like saying Steve Bartman purposely wanted to take the out away from Moises Alou.

Game is at 1:35pm today, JimEd. Just saying...
-
Jon Heyman said on Twitter the commish's office will release some kind of statement regarding this today.
-
I know this will probably result in the tired old "well considering what he's paid, we should expect more" argument but in our healthy rotation, Dice-K is the 5th starter and doesn't even sniff the postseason. I really don't mind Dice-K as a 5th starter.
-
The reason I say Galarraga will get more notoriety than if he had actually gotten credit for the perfect game is because I feel this story will get more mainstream media attention than a regular perfect game. I can totally see Galarraga going on the Today Show with Matt Lauer asking him what went through his mind when Donald was called safe, what Joyce said to him after the game, etc. I never expected to see Buerhle, Halladay or Braden making the interview rounds.
-
Youk is currently on pace for career years in OBP, SLG and OPS but hey, wait until he hits his stride....
-
The irony is that Galarraga will get more notoriety now than if he had actually gone into the record books as having pitched the 21st perfect game in MLB history.

Pretty sure it's MLB-mandated to push sales for the 2010 patriotic hats

Wow, never seen that before. Reminds me of Bill Gramatica. -
5/27 vs Kansas City

I think Papi just lost his chance to be a featured act on West's country album -
-
What I've never really understood about that is how do you demolish old Fenway and build the new stadium in one off-season? And if you don't, where would the Sox play in the meantime?
-
Yea, I don't care about the weather issue either. A few years ago, the Colts and Bears played the game in Miami in the pouring rain anyway.

5/26 @ Tampa Bay

Should be a tough one. Lackey's struggling, Garza owns us. It makes winning the first two of the series huge.
