MLB Random Thoughts [4/8 - 4/14]

MLBN is now ripping it. Plesac said he's never seen a ball that far out called a strike.

Joe Maddon already sent a tweet out saying "That can't happen in a major league game."

I am still fucking pissed.

Wow...that call is just...:jonesy:

That's on some 1997 NLCS shit.

Umpire Marty Foster just made one of the worst calls I have ever seen to end a game. Even Joe Nathan was shocked. He thought he walked Zobrist and was floored Foster called it a strike. The pitch was low, outside and nearly fucking bounced. Not saying we would've won the game, but, Marty Foster took the bat out of Even Longoria's hands in a one-run game with two men on due to that call. When you guys see the replay...you won't fucking believe it. Not even close. Rays post-game show keeps showing it and is trying to make sense and even they are getting tongue-tied trying to explain what the hell he thought he saw.

A fucking absolutely terribly way for that game to end. At the 3 hour and 15 minute mark there should of been 2 men on with Longo at the plate, facing Joe Nathan trying to tie it up or give the Rays the lead. It's like some schmuck grabbing a book out of your hands and ripping out the last chapter. Allow the home plate umpire to ask for help from the umpire behind the pitcher if he zoned out or something, there's no other explanation for this.

Maybe he took a sleeping pill before the 9th and wanted to get home

Stop complaining about the umps.

Stop complaining about the umps.

When the offending party comes out and admits the blown call our "complaints" are validated and warranted.


Troll.

Denard Robinson ... worst first pitch ever?

The "Big Nyquil" Jeff Niemann is due to have surgery on his shoulder. He will miss the 2013 season. Wonder who comes up. Doubt the bring up Archer or Ordorizzi to work out as long relief in the pen. Likely a AAAA player.

 

[Sharkweather]

Our Upton, who art in 'Lanta, hallowed be thy name.
Thy at bats come, thy home runs be done,
In Washington as they are in Miami.
Give us this day our daily bombs,
And forgive us our strike outs,
as we forgive those who hit against us.
Lead us not into double plays,
but deliver us from errors.
For thine is the Home Run, the RBI, and the diving catch, forever.
In Justin's name we pray,
Amen.

Ryan Howard and Michael Young both went yard back to back against the Mets. I was hoping we'd be able to sweep the Phillies while they were down, but it's hard to sweep a team with that many good hitters. Rollins, Utley, Howard, Young. Four MVP type guys at the top of their lineup. :running:

Cliff Lee dominates the Mets, too.

It's still good tho, chance to win the series tomorrow.

I'm not giving up on tonight just yet. But it's just the Mets luck that Ryan Howard returns to his MVP self against us.

Tomorrow will be tough going against another one of the Phillies aces.
