Why is it that padding never extends to the bottom of the wall?

3. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:10 PM (#2775114)

Stupidity. It's more common than you think.

4. Dig!!! JMM Dig!!! Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:10 PM (#2775115)

Because these teams are cheap.

And perfect game to not have on TV, a Friday evening road game....

5. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:12 PM (#2775120)

I can't imagine it's expensive to buy six more inches of padding. It looked like a pretty violent collision on mlb.tv.

6. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2775124)

Miraculously Boggs is running back to the dugout.

7. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2775131)

So Hannahan really missed the tag?

8. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:20 PM (#2775135)

I couldn't tell, but the Chipmunk and Ben Grieve's old man insist, so...

9. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:22 PM (#2775139)

Go to the comment section of the last post at the underground bunker.

10. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:30 PM (#2775152)

Do you really want to fly weakly the other way on a 3-1 pitch off the plate?

11. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:30 PM (#2775153)

Dadgummit.

12. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:36 PM (#2775160)

That was a mighty fat pitch.

13. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:36 PM (#2775161)

I'll save my Free Chad Gaudins for another time.

14. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:38 PM (#2775163)

I doubt Chad will be a reliever for long. I'm predicting not past Memorial Day.

15. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2775171)

That was down the middle too.

16. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 08:45 PM (#2775188)

Ranger broadcasts include more in-game interviews of people in the stands than all others combined.

Dude?

18. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:00 PM (#2775229)

The Rangers and Astros get together and battle for a silver boot like they're college football teams?

19. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:15 PM (#2775260)

Three of the seven teams to score 1000 runs "didn't even make the playoffs."

Six of those teams played at a time when the "playoffs" consisted of one series. The lesson, of course, is that Josh Lewin is a ####### moron.

20. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:21 PM (#2775271)

A hit!

21. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:25 PM (#2775283)

Longoria hits a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Ducks. Shields with a one-hitter.

22. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:29 PM (#2775293)

Yes the Rays sound pretty tough.

23. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:34 PM (#2775309)

It's hilarious how the "'Keep Watching' to see Griffey hit his 600th home run" spots pretend Bonds doesn't exist.

24. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:36 PM (#2775313)

Jason Giambi "when he wore an Oakland uniform" was nothing like Jack Cust as a hitter.

And that goes double for Ted Williams! What are you people talking about?

25. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:42 PM (#2775336)

Like a Soyuz capsule, launching itself toward the third base line...

26. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:42 PM (#2775337)

Catch the ball, Emil!

27. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:47 PM (#2775349)

Chadwick!

28. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 09:52 PM (#2775359)

Should've taken advantage of the Inherited Runner Pixie Dust® that Relief Chad provides.

29. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: May 09, 2008 at 10:15 PM (#2775423)

Ya, especially given how hard Boggs had hit Smith tonight.

30. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 10:31 PM (#2775465)

That was smoked.

31. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 10:32 PM (#2775467)

It was past him before he could even react.

32. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 10:34 PM (#2775473)

I really do hate your ass, Emil Brown.

33. Greg Maddux School of Reflexive Profanity Posted: May 09, 2008 at 10:38 PM (#2775484)

They better score like 12 runs tomorrow and shut Lewin up about the wonders of this sub-mediocre staff.
