[quote name='speedracer']LEAVE OLIVER PEREZ ALONE!!1

Seriously, wow.[/QUOTE]

Mike Pelfrey was on WFan today with Mike Francesa. Pelfrey stated that him and the team fully supports Ollie and are willing to go to war with him and that Ollie is apart of the team. Pelfrey also stated that he has no problems with Ollie because Ollie is trying.


Robinson Cano with a 16 game hitting streak.
 
Vlad got hurt in Battring Practice today. Hit a ball that deflected on the metal batting cage right back into his eye. It has severe swelling and is getting an X-Ray and diagnosis at the moment. Didn't seem to hurt the Rangers as they pounded Gavin Floyd in the first.
 
[quote name='wildcpac']Something special going on in Detroit. 6 outs to go.[/QUOTE]

Seriously, if Galaragga makes it #3, that's just crazy.
 
Jim Joyce is getting cursed out by every Tiger ont he field except for Gallaraga.


I can only imagine what is going to go on in the club house when he sees the highlights.
 
Jim Joyce just absolutely blew that call. It wasn't even close. It's his fucking job to make those easy calls. When Jim Joyce watches this replay, he better apologise to Galaraga. It's unbelievable. I'm stunned.
 
That was the worst call I have ever seen in 20+ years of watching baseball. Even if it was closer than it was, and it wasn't close, you give the benefit of the doubt to the guy going for the perfect game. How many more times will Galarraga be in that position the rest of his career? Oh yeah that's right most probably never. What a douche of an ump.
 
Jim Joyce will be lucky to make it out of Detroit alive.

What a douche. He better have a god send of an explanation to why he blew that call...he even took a minute to think about it...i hope he gets fired tomorrow.
 
Jim Joyce still has to umpire tomorrow in Detroit at 1 p.m.

Here is another funny thing about the game. He called Damon safe in the top of the inning even though Damon was clearly out. 2 bad calls in the same inning.

If it were a more ruckus city, like Philly or even Cleveland, he'd be pelted with various objects.

Someone from MLB needs to step up and officially overturn the call that cost him a perfect game. Own up to the mistake. Take away the official at bat for the next guy and give the out and perfect game to Galarraga. Let him go into the history book.

If that's the worst call you ever saw, you apparently haven't watched enough baseball. Honestly, everyone in the bar I was sitting in all said he was safe until we saw the reply. It's really easy for everyone to say it was an awful call, because you're not the one out there making the call in a split second, in front of thousands of people, without the benefit of replay. Doesn't make the guy a douche.

Do you really, honestly think that should happen? There have been crucial playoff games blown by bad umpiring. If any game should ever be decided by people in suits, those would be in it. But in the end, games have never, should never, and will never be decided once the players and officials leave the field or court.
 
Absolutely horrible call. Not only is Galarraga's perfecto taken away, but now Austin Jackson's amazing catch won't get the attention it deserves.

I'm not even a Tigers fan, but this just makes me feel sick to my stomach.
 
A playoff game is a series, something that happens quite a few times a year. Many plays determine the outcome a game. This is a PERFECT GAME that was blown ON THE LAST OUT OF THE GAME. This was something special, and it was ruined by an idiot.

Oh I've watched plenty of baseball. By absolute worst call, I'm including everything that was riding on the call. If everyone in the bar you were in thought he was safe, have your eyesight checked. Everyone I was watching it with knew he was out immediately. I was able to tell he was out by a full step immediately. But regardless, it's the worst call because he alone cost a guy a fucking perfect game. You absolutely give the guy going for what is most probably the only chance to throw a perfect game the benefit of the doubt and call the runner out.
 
20 times in 100 years and each team plays 162 games a year. So thats like 20 times out of 1 billion chances for a perfect game.


Johan gets fucked over by KRod yet again. Blue Jays blow another lead in the top of the 9th to the Rays. Rays scored 4 runs yesterday in the 9th and 6 runs int he 9th today. Jays are getting EXPOSED.
 
Jim Joyce is the home plate umpire tomorrow. it's going to be great to hear the boos he gets and around the league for the rest of the season. Joyce will never be able to get over it. This is his legacy and infamy.

I'm still sick to stomach unfuckingbelievable. I'm in disbelief after watching that botched call. You would think when a perfect game is on the line you would get the benefit of doubt and if it's close just fucking call him out for christ sake! I can't believe that call. Even the Indian players couldn't believe it, I hope Jim Joyce doesn't sleep tonight. :bomb: Jim Joyce! :twoguns:Jim Joyce!

Austin Jackson almost Willie Mays style. Hell of a catch!:applause:

Absolutely! How can you call a player safe on a bang-bang play (and this didn't even look that close!) in the last out of a perfect game?
 
[quote name='Ugamer_X']Pine tar.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, but that's not the same thing (it was also 30 years ago). That was a case in which the league office felt an umpire incorrectly interpreted a rule. The umpire here simply made the wrong call based on what he thought he saw. Again, such things have never, should never, and will never be overturned by men in an office. They will be decided on the field, and once everyone leaves the field, it's over. The league office might issue an apology, but they will not overturn an on-field official's call. Nor should they.
 
yeah, you can protest a game due to interpretation of the rules but not calls during the game. Pine tar was an interpretation of a rule while the out at first was a bad call.

Not after the fact, but baseball really needs more instant replay.

Give managers one challenge per game, they get it back if call is overturned. Only valid for reviewing out/safe calls, and whether a ball was caught or trapped and maybe another very specific instance or two I'm not thinking of. Not for things like balls and strikes, check swings etc. which are too subjective even on replay.

Keep the replay for looking at home runs as they have it now, no need to have to use challenges on those.

Joyce even started to make the out sign before emphatically changing it to safe.
 
And the Mets lose on a walkoff grand slam to AGon.


Johan in his last 5 starts. 35 innings, 3 earned runs, 1 win. Wow!

I give him a lot of credit. He didn't lose his cool on the field, nor did he feel a need to bash the guy afterwards. Lots of professional athletes would not have taken the extremely high road he chose to. Classy guy.

That is what it's all about in the end. As much as the call should be overturned, not going to happen. Putting everything into perspective, both Galarraga and Joyce have behaved better than anyone expected them to. Galarraga saying no big deal and Joyce manning up and saying "I blew it"
 
Selig needs to invoke the "best interests of the game" clause and make the perfect game happen + immediately install a replay ump in every stadium.

MLB also needs to allow clips on YouTube and other media sharing sites.
 
[quote name='jlarlee']Man Ortiz hits another dinger, so glad to see him bouncing back[/QUOTE]

It's the Roids in the Protein shakes.

Is Big Poopi ever going to come out and state what happened like he promised? I bet he hopes most of his forgot.


*2004 *2007


Steroid Tainted "World Series"


I'll stop making fun of the Sox and Big Poopi when he finally comes clean like he promised last summer.
 
[quote name='dafoomie']And "Bitch Tits" only took steroids when he played for Texas, because of the heat right?[/QUOTE]

At least Arod came clean and told a half truth and won a legit title. Poor Roid Sox nation. 92 years since their last legit World Series. Big Poopi is still trying to figure out why he tested for Roids.
