Styles 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 During a God damn Yankees/Sox game. Isn't there some meaningless Blue Jay/Oriole game next week that Fox can do this to? HEY I think it will be funny if the Stanks and Red Sux Oh my. It's a shock to you, I know, but not all baseball fans revolve themselves around the New York/Boston rivalry...

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 As for Selig, isn't this guy supposed to step down when his contract runs out? When is that, after this season? Next season? It can't come soon enough... Actually, I think it's the same year the CBA expires - 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 16, 2004 I'm not sure how A-Rod Jeter and Giambi are gay. The only thing I can gather is that Met fans, in the face of overwhelming evidence that their star is gay (), needed to make Yankee stars gay. Can't argue a 30 year old who still goes by the name "Chipper" though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Can't argue a 30 year old who still goes by the name "Chipper" though. Or a pitcher who needs to push an old man to look "masculine." And come on, ya know at least one of those 3 Yanks are gay (probably Giambi or "Jetes" --- yeth Mithter Thteinbrenner, I've been a baaad boy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Seriously, though. I became a Rey Ordonez fan after his rookie year, when he was making some of the most spectacular defensive plays I'd ever seen. I knew he was never the best hitter in the world, but neither was Ozzie Smith. So why's he so far down the ladder now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Ugh. Yet ANOTHER reason to hate Fox Sports. If they're going to do this, I demand equal time for the talking baseball to explain why the sacrifice bunt is such an idiotic play, and why sabermetrics are the wave of the future. Something kids can USE. I never really gave a crap what a slider did. Don't tell the Marlins that. They faired pretty well last year playing small ball.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted April 16, 2004 The streak on the puck was a bad idea, but I rather liked knowing where the puck was when the camera couldn't pick up on it. I was just thinking about this the other night watching the Boston/Montreal game. But yeah, I don't know about this talking baseball thing. We'll see.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Or a pitcher who needs to push an old man to look "masculine." Not that I'd ever defend Pedro, but I don't think that he pushed an old man to look masculine. He ole'd him and threw him down because the old man charged him. If he wanted to look masculine he would have kicked his geriatric ass right there on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew he was never the best hitter in the world, but neither was Ozzie Smith. So why's he so far down the ladder now? Two reasons...... 1. Ozzie's defense was much better. Ordonez made spectacular plays. Ozzie made EVERY play. 2. Ozzie was not as bad a hitter as people think, while Ordonez is outright terrible. Ozzie owns a career .337 OBP, while Ordonez's is .291. Ordonez plays in a MUCH better era for hitters, and Ozzie smokes him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
