And here I thought the only problem with Baseball was that Arrested Development won't be on again until it is over.
I agree 100% with what you said and said as much in my initial response to this thread. My point was it all evens out in the end and the players move on a whole lot faster then the weenie media does.
I agree with you about the steroids but a lack of a SALARY CAP is a black eye???
Sure, why not? I'm still bitter over the "Immaculate Reception" back in the 70's. I still get somewhat nauseous every time I see that clip of Franco Harris grabbing the ball.
There is NO WAY the Steelers receiver didn't touch the ball.
Yep as much as the Yankees are a living argument against it, there is no way they should have an $85 million payroll advantage over every team in the league.
Along with the Salary Cap there needs to be a minimum payroll rules to keep small market teams competitive.
I'd like to see the Yankees operate on $140 million. It would be like watching F-Troop.
Sorry, missed you initial response.
Yea, if the Angels go on to win the ALCS, this will be history and another example of the sky-is-falling media blowing something out of proportion.
If the Angels dont win the ALCS, well, they will have had up to possibly 5 more games to get it done.
Doug Eddings says he needs to work on his mechanics. Yeah, maybe in Single A ball somewhere, but not the ALCS.
Whichever Molina is catching tonight should throw down to first base after every K just to make a point.
If the umpire calls the batter out, the batter is out.
You watch, tonight the batter is going to get tagged on every third strike below the knees. :-)
I work in a predominantly female office, too. These ladies make "Desperate Housewives" look normal. The viciousness at times is one thing, but the every day pettiness is a real pain.
I have a sign that I keep in my office that says: "Warning! Drama Queen Free Zone".
As if bad or controvertial calls just started a few days ago. The worst!
Wasn't that a kick in the gut? I have to leave the room when that clip is played.
The Anaheim Angels are going down anyhow. F-ck them and their whiny fans. ;-)
Your beef is with the NFL rulebook, my friend. Don't blame the officials for getting the call right, or Belichick for knowing the rules so well he knew to throw the red flag.
Sierra Golf . . .
Sheesh, Clemenza! What did the Angels do lately to incur your wrath?
Most of the pain was taken away when the Raiders won their first Super Bowl against the Vikings.
I need to get a copy of that HBO documentary on Oakland in the early 70s, which focused on the A's & Raiders. I lived near Oakland during those years, and it really captured the collective mindset of the East Bay.
I have "fond" memories of Black Panthers getting on my bus to work, selling their newspapers. I always bought one, because I knew I'd get extra credit in Civics class for bringing it in (our teacher was a tie-dyed liberal, but I liked him and he was a good teacher).
I was born a cranky native New Yorker. I see the Angels as a morphed version of my current boss: an overgrown crybaby.
That's the same problem with College Football, too :).
Okay.
I lived in Orange County on and off since 1982, and they've never appeared to me that way. Especially under Mike Scioscia and Arte Moreno.
But, I can understand the cranky native New Yorker part. :-)
The ump says he did not call the batter out.
