The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 ... Well, I guess I should be happy that the sound was screwed up on my feed and I didn't quite get a clear channel for Scooter's 15 second tutorial on the knuckleball. The visuals were painful enough.

Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted April 17, 2004 I call bullshit as well. Every game is important to a real baseball fan. Within the context of a pennant race? Not really. But each game has meaning. Exactly. EVERY GAME COUNTS AND HAS MEANING. Goddamn I'm having flashbacks to 1999 now. Thanks alot Fellas. And no, I'm not watching Sox/Yanks. I'm watching TBS EXTRA, Braves vs. Marlins. Much more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Okay, that had to be one of the funniest errors I've ever seen in baseball. The Sox look to be out of the inning and Ramirez completely misses the ball, even though he had the longest time to catch it. I was surprised that the crowd wasn't going crazy on the ball being hit, but maybe they sense that Manny isn't exactly a great fielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 I've always wondered how a fastball works. Fox sucks. They managed to piss me off with that saves stat. First off, saves are nothing more than a meaningless number. Second, and most important, you can not use saves to compare closers and set-up men! Set-up men gather save opportunities, but don't stay in to gather saves. They get holds instead. I hate this intentional misuse of statistics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Yeah, the Orioles pasted the Blue Jays..Matt Riley was awesome. And Im finding it funny that the Dodgers are being no-hit by Jason Schmidt and they are winning 1-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Im mad I didn't start Riley in the H2H league but I didn't want to chance it off his last start which was ugly. And tomorrow Os/Jays its going to be Kurt Ainsworth vs Josh Towers. Towers hasn't pitched yet this season and could be on a pitch count. The Orioles have scored 23 runs in their last 2 days.

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 I wasn't going to watch the game at all but reading how bad Scooter was I tuned in just for the trainwreck value of it. Only was able to stomach two minutes of YANKS/SAWX and Tim McCarver before I changed it and didn't see Scooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Meanwhile in AAA.. someone is just totally kicking ass. His name is Calvin Pickering. He's a left-handed first baseman/DH for the AAA Omaha Royals. Here are his numbers so far: he's played in 8 games He's scored 11 runs He has 13 hits in 24 at-bats (.542) He has one double and two singles He's hit 10 home runs Yes. He has hit 10 home runs already. That's good for 44 total bases and 23 runs batted in. He has a 1.833 slugging percentage right now. Odds are, he will slow down. But, he will have plenty of time to kick ass, since the Royals have two good first basemen (Sweeney and Ken Harvey) and Matt Stairs is also on the team. But, if Stairs gets hurt, Pickering might make it to Kansas City. I'd rather let him go on to hit 50+ home runs in AAA. Or, I'd trade him to a stupid team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 Those numbers aren't an abberation. Pickering really can crush the ball. He hit 21 home runs in AAA in 2001, missed 2002, and hit 25 home runs in 291 at bats in Mexico in 2003. The only think that's held him back are his injuries, and his weight (Pickering is legitimately close to 300 lbs). BPro said he's better than Ken Harvey.

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2004 You'd rather trade him and keep Ken Harvey? Err, okay. I say call up Bill Bavasi and ask him if he wants Harvey and/or Desi Relaford. Mariners now 2-8. Bavasi is probably wondering if he can still get Omar Vizquel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
