    Everything I posted is a fact. There is no question of "truth." I said that the ump made a bad call that cost the Pirates the game, and I stand by that statement. The call was clearly wrong, and unusually bad for a play at first base. I never siad that I knew that the ump's call was the result of influence. Let me ask you this. Do you believe politicians who state that they are not influenced by lobbyist money when they pass legislation? None of us do, but we don't know for sure. Certainly, there is an appearance of impropriety and a suspicion of influence with regard to Randazzo. BTW: I shared the story only because of 26 to 6's sarcastic post that the umps were paid by the Yankees. I poted my story precisely because none of us can rule out that there is something going on... and like contributions by lobbyists, it might be completely legal, but it does buy influence.

    That's just one that I know about. I am not an investigator. I learned this information through happenstance, but if it can happen with one umpire, is it so hard to believe that more might be having their pockets lined?

    Good s*** ... right? This is why the Yankee fans hate me.

    Where are you now Gom, 26 to 6?

    Here's the box score from the Yankee - Pittsburgh game showing that Tony Randazzo was the first base ump. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA200506150.shtml I remember being furoius about the obvious blown call when it happened. I heard the story about the ump's father a couple of days later.

    It's a ridicululous call because it is not uniformly applied. That is why no one knew the rule. There are laws about not spitting in the street, but when is the last time you heard about someone getting a ticket for it. This was a save face call by the umps, because the ump blew the putout call.

    They really scrapped for this win. With a team that is far below full strength, they used great fielding and timely hitting to beat a very hot Toronto team at home. This is a big victory.

    Freakin MDC! At least he kept him in the park.

    Ewar Ramirez just gave up a two run Homer to Roberts and the O's have tied the game 7-7.
  14. a700hitter
    Holy Crap! Coco Crisp with a Homer. I didn't think he could get the ball out of this park

    This team is giving me a headache.
  16. a700hitter
    Of course neither one will play against the Yankees... as usual.

    Nice play by Cora to end the inning.
  18. a700hitter
    Ellsbury is killing us in the leadoff spot, but they have no other options right now.

    Cabrera is doing his melt down. He's walking everyone in pinstripes.
  20. a700hitter
    Dice K will have us biting our nails all day long.
  21. a700hitter
    Bay got robbed twice yesterday on long drives to Wells. he is hitting the ball hard as he gets another hit.
  22. a700hitter
    4 runs! After looking at Burnett in the first two innings, I never expected a 4 spot.
  23. a700hitter
    The Red sox have never beat Burnett, and he has been hot recently. This is going to be a very tough game.

    J.D. Drew's back is being reported on NESN as not getting any better. With the weakened batting order and no Beckett, I'd be happy to take one game in NY. I'd be thrilled with 2 wins.
