    In the check swing I was referring to, it wasn't even close to a swing. An otherwise great game was marred by a inexcusably bad call by the 1st base chUMP. And, as usual, there will be no punishment by their union for that disgusting mistake. Anyone who thinks bad calls by the chUMPIRES don't affect the results of a game, well, I disagree. Hopefully, the SOX/Astros series will not be affected by shite calls.

    My bad. That should have been D-Hern.

    I watched the Dodgers/Giants game last night and found it appropo that the last out of the game was on an atrocious check swing call by the 1st base chUMP. Supposedly, the chUMPIRES' union is tasked with picking the best chUMPS from the regular season to work the PO's. Of course, that was proven BS when I saw Angel Hernandez working the Brewers/Braves series. I believe every call these chUMPS make should be reviewable for the simple reason that they suck so bad.

    Sawamura and D-Hern are on the 26 man roster for ALCS. Barnes and Davis are left out. Santana is also on roster.

    If leaving Houston at least at 1-1 is considered successful, which I would agree with, then starting Sale today and EO tomorrow is no big deal.

    Brings back memories of Gagne being signed by the SOX. I guess that could be defined as a 'flop.'
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Your post was 'wicked good.'
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, is 'very true' superfluous? or 'very good?' I'm very interested in knowing.

    I seldom correct other posters' 'improper grammar' or misspellings. In fact, I never correct them. This a baseball forum; not an introduction to proper English. But thanks, I'll try to remember that in the future or not.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Very true.

    I very seldom watch Braves' games so I'm not familiar with Freeman's approach at the plate. We SOX fans all know that Bogey has a tendency to hardly ever swing at the 1st pitch. I'm wondering if Freeman also has that reputation causing Hader to groove a fastball down the middle?
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yesterday, Hader, who I believe is the best reliever in MLB, faced Freeman, who is one of the best hitters in MLB. The best against the best. Freeman guessed fastball on the 1st pitch and the rest is history. Tough loss for the Brew Crew, but a great win for the Braves. If Hader can give up a game-winning homer, then all relievers in MLB are vulnerable.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The best city in Texas, imho.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. Schwarber is the kind of personality that bodes well for having a winning team. He keeps everyone loose and the former linebacker has a good approach at the plate. He can also hit HR's. What's not to like? That was rhetorical, Old Red. You don't have to respond.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    According to the results of the regular season, the SOX have already beaten the best team in the AL. With that being said I believe the SOX should have a pretty good shot at beating the 2nd best team.

    Cash did something last night that I thought was a head scratcher. If he had planned on using McClanahan, why didn't Cash have him start, which is what McClanahan is used to doing. Having a rookie starter come into the game in the 3rd inning is mentally different than starting the game. Oh, well, it definitely worked well for the SOX, but it was still a puzzling move by Cash.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well said. Btw, I 'cracked' a hell of a lot more than you did this season. Be proud that you never gave up on this team. Most of us did. See ya Friday.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I would think it would be EO.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Gabe Kapler(player on 2004 WC) vs Cora(player on 2007 WC). Plus it would also include YAZ's grandson playing in Fenway. Finally, it would pit two teams that have had 7 WC's since 2004.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The ALCS begins on Friday. Magnifies even more the importance of winning tonight.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I respect what the Rays did this season. They went down fighting, which was to be expected. It's not the players' fault that they play their games in a circus tent or in front of the worst fans in MLB. The SOX beat the best team in the AL and, for that, we should just say "job well done and best of luck the rest of the way." What a long strange ride this season has been. I doubt any of us will ever see its like again.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    White Sox vs Red Sox. Seems like it's meant to be.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I had already posted after the SOX beat the Yankems in the play-in that MOON was the best SOX fan I've ever known.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Here's hoping the Astros/White Sox series goes 5.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That's why I said 'at least.' Any team can be beaten if the ball bounces right.
