vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 I don't think he threw him out because Cirillo disagreed with the call. He threw him out after Jeff slammed his helmet, which equals an automatic ejection. I don't think Timmons purposely made the "out" call just to be a dick. I mean, it was a close play, and I've seen umpires call guys out that were more clearly safe than Cirillo and they weren't trying to be dicks. I still have no idea what Brady Clark's deal was. So, who does everybody think is the worst umpire in baseball? I'm torn between CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez. They both suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that was a mistake by Rototimes. They misinterpreted an article that said he was the designated hitter. That being said, I am fairly certain that the Sox were shopping him this week. I can't believe that there wasn't one playoff team looking for a veteran .300 hitter with a decent glove (and an All-Star this year to boot!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 From the meaningless stat department: Alfonso Soriano needs one outfield assist to become the first player to have 40 homers, 30 stolen bases and 20 assists in one season. He would also become the seventh player to record 40 homers and 20 assists in a season; Babe Ruth did it twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Rich Hill quietly went eight innings, giving up one run, striking out six and walking just one. It's the second consecutive outing in which he's given up one run and gone at least seven. I don't think he's a front-of-the-rotation starter, but it's looking like he's finally taken that step forward from being labeled a AAAA guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would also become the seventh player to record 40 homers and 20 assists in a season; Babe Ruth did it twice. Soriano is also a couple of stolen bases away from joining the 40/40 club as well. He came close in 2002 when he had over 40 stolen bases but only 39 homeruns. Vlad Guerrero almost joined the 40/40 club as well back in 2002. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted September 1, 2006 John Lester has Lymphoma. Holy shit. Hopefully he pulls through and gets over this. One day there is going to be a writer who writes a book about the 2006 Red Sox. They are the choir boys version of the 1991 Mets who had a book written about them called The Best Team That Money Can Buy or something along those lines. This has got to be a season from hell for the Red Sox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has got to be a season from hell for the Red Sox. It's not quite the same. The Mets lost 90 and 103 games in consecutive seasons. The Red Sox have merely finished (or will finish) out of the running. People forget that the Sox are still on pace to win 90 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
