Quote:Carpenter being thrown out advancing from 3rd to home on a single to center is even worse than Lackey being thrown out on the bases on a walk.
 

Also know as the Ronny Cedeno Special.

Thank goodness. Let's all try to put this difficult time behind us and get on with our empty lives.

I think that during Players Weekend, all the players should wear red clown noses to protest the fact that Hernandez, Bucknor and West exist.

Baseball's unwritten rules, umps who failed to gain control and a couple of hotheads.  Perfect conditions to have a baseball brawl.

I got nothin'.

I guess they're taking on Upton's contract to normalize Pujols's?

And Upton might still opt out of the remaining 4 years/$88mil left on his deal at the end of this season, but it was seen as an extreme long-shot coming into 2017.

And didn't he also blow a 4-3 lead before that? That's too bad.

I mean, it's hard to blame someone for not being enthusiastic about moving to Houston this week.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.  [Image: ITgoyeg.png]
