Depends on how long they would deliberate the call? Would it be possible that it would "throw a pitcher out of rhythm", or whatever notions that seem to be present in baseball. Oh you know football likes to milk it's commercial time for all it's worth!

He's an a-hole strictly for that one play? Oh he has his verbal moments, but I'll cut him slack on that one play. ...But I have to admit, I giggled at the pics. Niiice.

Crash Davis: Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic. Strike-outs are overrated, IMO. Yes the occasional grounder will get through; however SO's eat up pitches, not to mention that when a strike-out pitcher does give up a ball into play, the defense sometimes gets caught sleeping. Thanks for the welcome!

I don't think he "cheated" - it was a umm...reflexive, I guess. It's ridiculous all the flack Alex got about that play - I'm sure he wanted to be in that funny little pose (all that's missing is that Photoshopped purse), "slapping" the ball to desparately get an out - sure sounds like a pre-meditated thing to me! But it was the right call, interference, and if the Yankees were championship-caliber, they wouldn't need a benefit of an ump call.

Sometimes replay doesn't make a call any clearer - like whether Schilling touched the bag - it LOOKED like he grazed it - but there wasn't anything that was conclusive about it, and personally (this is without bias that I say this), that home-plate empire must be SOMETHING to watch the play at home, THEN look allllll the way over there and be so certain that he was out. Those plays are so close, that unless you have some censor in the glove coordinating with a censor on the mound, there's not a way to be absolutely sure about it. I'd prefer that human error come from the players, but that's how the game works, and every team gets gypted at some point, so eh, it evens out?

*ahem* I thought it was a good thing that he couldn't listen to Mel's "pitching tips". Three weeks and we'll know. I don't care if he has to sit the rest of the season; I just hope the kid will get better - this sounded like a career-threatening injury, given that he had shoulder surgery before. None of the Yankees starters are under 35 (well, Johnson, Mussina, and Leiter - I'm not counting the other guys who're plugging holes right now). This is disconcerting. Fortunately, baseball actually plays out the rest of the season, instead of going by the Dan Shaughnessy assumption of a Secretarist pull-away. I'll reserve comments until that last stretch.

^ Reminds you of a certain team, *cough*, that in the past, had a wonderful history, until *choke*, recently? Would it be fair to say that Federer's dominating the likes of tennis, what Woods did to go golf in 2000? His opponents are lucky to break against him; taking a set - HA! He just makes it looks so easy! But even though his dominance is sick, I have to grudgingly admit that his game is gorgeous to watch - the finesse, but the occasional power, too.

Umm, I'm half of what you're looking for. Tennis fan, yes, Sox fan, not so much. Andy Roddick's cute, and I'd probably would cry facing that 152 mph ace, but it just seems like he gets owned by Federer on grass. Talk about monkey on his back; he's beaten Federer only once in like, 50 matches. *sigh* But just to watch that cute duck, I'll root for him at Flushing Meadows.

No hazing, please. And to assure some of you: 1) I'm not a troll. No spam such as pictures of Derek Jeter's derriere. 2) I'm respectful of differing opinions (sure to be many) and won't make any personal attacks on anyone, provided that I'm given the same courtesy. (Hey, I have Midwestern manners!). Fair enough? :dunno:
