Dear Mr. Ball,
I take my hat off to you, sir.
My perusal of Google today indicates that you appear to be the only reporter in the entire United States to correctly diagnose Vlad Guerrero's "steal attempt" in the 6th last night for what it was - a botched hit-and-run. From that, I infer that you were probably the only reporter in that entire press box to be watching the play, instead of listening to Tim McCarver on TV.
Everyone else got the story wrong because they wrote what an "expert" told them - you got it right because you used your eyes.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
[John Lowenstein Apathy Club]
What an ass.
I don't think that reward is worth the risk, but I can see the reasoning.
re:Today's Class
Dan,
I have to give you credit. I have never, ever before seen in my life a
teacher properly use "teh suck" while teaching a class. That might
have been the best moment of my college career so far. So thank you
for that."
I was showing them how to format the first page of their papers, and put an example on the board that had a sample title "Beowulf Roolz, Grendel is Teh Suck" ala Larry's ALCS preview last year.
Sample title? So...are you saying you wouldn't accept that as an actual title?
So what happened in the ninth inning?
Not that bad, surely.
I found that professors in a certain age braket responded very well to Rocky & Bulwinkle-ish titles.
Ex:
Advancing Inertial Navigation System Technology: The Ring Laser Gyroscope
OR
Great Gyro Gifts: The Truest Track To Transylvania
Perhaps all this should head to the lounge....
No idea, but I suspect he went on his own. It's common to give a guy who runs well a permanent green light in those situations, to stay out of the double play.
No idea, but I suspect he went on his own
He probably did, Tino was playing behind him, so it was at least half a case of defensive indifference. I think Posada just thought he had a shot and threw down
Go Angels!
Yeah, go away.
I hope the Yankees play better today. Their offense yesterday seemed so lackluster.
Damn it damn it damn it
That's a possibility, I guess, but it leaves an opening in St. Louis. ...which is close enough to Chicago that Berman and Sutcliffe could continue ruining my October.
I'm really hoping for Schulman and Gwynn tonight.
Does Tino bat ninth a lot? That's where he is tonight.
Lackey scares me more than Colon. He's been nasty this year.
If the Yankees can't win, I'd actually like to see the White Sox win. Their fans deserve it.

Also, thanks to BTF (and the fact that the Yankees don't ALWAYS beat the Red Sox now), my hatred of the Yankees has lessened to a grudging respect and firce rival...kinda like a couple of brothers who have a super-intense sibling rivalry and always act like they hate each other...but at the end of the day, they'd rather see their brother succeed than some random guy off the street (so to speak).
I might root against the Yanks in the WS still, but, we'll get to that as it comes.
Assuming Jorge got one in '96 (I bet he did) there's 12 rings in that part of the order. Sadly, I imagine the Rings to Hits ratio for that part of the line-up will be at least 4-to-1 today, maybe even 6-to-1.
That's it for me for the next hour, see you guys at 11
Joe C, I can't disagree with your Hawk point either. Best thing about the playoffs is no Harrelson.
Not having cable is pretty lame.
Flipped around a little, and it's there, Jeter leading off.
Thanks again!
Yeah, well, we can't all make a plumber's salary.
Making comments like that is pretty lame, too.
Don't have any Verizon phone service yet either, thank god for cell phones.
Let's go Wang.
Speaking of which, should i go right from work (11 PM) to a bar that is 3 minutes away, watch a few innings there, grab a bite, maybe talk to a few ladies, then go home, or make the 20 minute drive home right after work?
Half man, half amazing.
I rooted for the Sox in the World Series last year, and I will be honest, it was nice. I was very happy for my old mentor, he was a great guy and a Sox fan. So basically, in my mind, I rooted for him, and that made it easier.
If the Yanks lose, I will root for the White Sox, because they have good fans, like that fine family who celebrated on the field with the Royals and Gamboa that time.
Or that time the guy ran into RF to shake the hand of that umpire.
And Vince G.
They're using whatever that BEP song with the Dick Dale sample is.
I've often wondered the same thing. I guess it's because he doesn't pitch to the corners much, and his delivery is not particularly deceptive. His splitter is ok, but not great. I know the K rate is freakishly low, but I think he can succeed at the major league level. If he refines his splitter and changeup a bit more, I think he can get his K rate up.
I could be wrong about Brown and the groundball thing, though.
I wish could say I was born in "Manhattan, New Yorkawa Prefecture"
Wang's minor league K rates are better than Brown's were, and his BB rate is better too. Brown was up sooner though, and his major league K rate was slightly better. He struck out over 7 batters per 9 in the minors, I would expect him to improve next year.
Nice job 2B-Zilla.
Robby Cano rocks. I want all those clowns who mock him for not walking to show themselvs.
Wang is a nice player, was he hitting 95 before the surgery?
C'mon Cano, pick up where you left off last night!
Oh, nice!!
Wang is a nice player, was he hitting 95 before the surgery?
The highest I saw was 97 once or twice. He's hitting 96 today.
But looking at Brown's first few years, people must have been asking what was wrong with his K rate, don't you think?
He was right. Cashman is a saavy SOB.
savy?
saavy?
savvy?
saavvy?
ok, I give up.
Who gave up the three-run homer, again?
Wow. Primer is empty. Is everyone in the IRC?
Some of us are here, but don't have anything to add except, "Yes, David Bell would have also gotten to that ball to A-Rod, but he would have also hit into several more inning ending double plays."
Thank God the Yankees didn't trade for him. Hey everybody, remember when Brian Cashman didn't trade Ramiro Mendoza for Jim Edmonds? sometimes the best moves are the ones that you don't make.
