BJ said Frenchy went fishing 20 minutes before the game started and caught a 6 lb bass.

Almost a Collision in center with Michael Bourne and Hunter Pence. Garret Anderson on third he was flyin around those bases.
Haha. Not really. Come on. 8 P 8 ))
Frenchy is back on the ball.
Totally random, but am I the only one that thinks the AL West needs another team? Like maybe from the NL Central? I just think it would make things more fair. The Angels basically have it won every year, adn that’s pathetic/bullshit.

Yeah...probably
Instead of adding a team to the NL West, we should just get rid of a couple of teams. My picks would be the Nats and Padres.
oooh!! oooh!!! oooh!!!! How 'bout this?
Axe the Nats (with fucking pleasure) and move the Pirates to the NL East………
interesting….haha

he had a pretty good hit against the Cubbies

Say what you want about Corky, but that guy has played in the Bigs for three teams. As much as I like JC, he can’t say that. He can’t even say he’s played for one.

A little bit. In a career spanning from 97-08, JC has played a total of 108 AAA games over the course of 6 different seasons, getting his most time with Richmond in 2005, where he played 72 games and hit a robust .222 (which, ironically enough, is his lifetime average). He’s obviously a career backup, since he’s averaged just 69 games a season for his career.
Like I said, JC is a fine minor league backup, but he’s got nothing on Cory Miller.

Is that his first ST game? i dont remember seeing him in another one
by drumzalicious on Apr 1, 2009 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions
no
I think he’s been in a couple of others.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
See, I haven't talked shit about this ump.
He’s been consistent. we need more of that from umps
AND BASEBALL NEEDS TO INCORPORATE AN INSTANT REPLAY RULE LIKE FOOTBALL. A MANAGER CAN CHALLENGE ONE BASE CALL A GAME.
Is that not genius? It’s just too fucking easy. But that will never f-ing happen.
"The future is no place to place your better days." - Dave Matthews

Personally im an ump. I just do highschool games and umps have huge egos, and if they were to incorporate instant replay I dont think they would be to happy.
.......................lol.
Oh, I know. All I’m saying is, they aren’t fucking God. They make mistakes occasionally. On a close BASE CALL (not other calls) a manager should be allowed one challenge of instant replay a game.
I’ve seen too many games get decided by an ump making a shitty call. It’s Two Thousand and Fucking Nine. And I’m Kenny Powers.

With that instant replay u will lose a lot of the excitment from the managers getting pissed and then getting tossed. But dude I totally agree with you Umps miss a lot of calls at first and Home.
bump the excitement. it will save someone a freaking heart attack
If they wouldn’t allow 1 challenge per game for each team, then they might as well all go out and buy a Hummer to compensate for more than their small pee pees.

I trust the Braves to make the right decision.
Translation: I’m paying 5 bucks to go to opening night…and if Schafer isn’t starting in CF, I’ll be pissed.
Me too little Lady but Bobby is very careful with his young players. He never puts to much pressure on them!!
I know.
I really just want what’s best for JS in the long run. But I think he’s ready. Plus, it sounded like he’d won the job when they were interviewing FW earlier.
Oh, I'm all for Schafer too. But it's nice to have Blanco.
He’ll get back in the rythym. (damn i hate spelling that word, no clue)
WBC fucked everyone up. But Blanco cleaned up during that shite.

You've all been great. Try the veal.
Any time we play the Astros, it reminds me of that game a few years back that started around 7, and ended at like 4 in the morning. It was nuts. And we lost by one run. lmao. I about got nuts that night. Actually, I did.

But yeah, I've never cared for the Astros
Their starting pitcher was taking names, and GAnderson kind of swung our momentum early in teh game when he dropped a fly ball on the first play of the game. Sometimes, thats all it takes.
But you can tell teh guys are waiting to step it up a notch on Sunday.
I. Want. Phillie. Bad.
