I guess JJ is feeling fine. Frank Thomas is going to need someone to drive him home.

What a fucked up night of baseball. I'm happy I was at a bar and not sitting at home watching this clusterfuck. A doubleheader, a burned out starter, a beatup bullpen and no Matt Thornton. Tony Pena deserves a medal for going 7 innings in game two. Johnny Danks needs to throw a complete game today.

Keyser, the effects of this series may well be felt for the remainder of the year. Talk about completely fucking your pitching staff.

Speaking of "fucking your pitching staff," Joe West works the plate TODAY when John Danks & Zach Greinke toe the rubber in the finale of this series in Kansas City. Consider yourselves warned...

No kidding. September 1 can't come fast enough. They should callup 4-5 pitchers just to eat some innings.

The Twins are having problems of their own. They put Kevin Slowey and Ron Mahay on the DL yesterday. This is turning into a war of attrition.

I'll never understand for the life of me why the White Sox & Royals couldn't wait until September 2nd to make up Friday's rainout instead of a doubleheader that didn't end until 1:15a this morning...The Sox & Royals have an off day, although the Sox would be in between Cleveland & Boston on this next road trip.

Well damn, players make errors too. Let's replace them with machines that don't throw wild pitches, catchers that don't allow passed balls and left fielders that don't faghop when making a catch.

Also, NOT easily perfectable. But Counselor PeePis summarily dismissed my argument.

It is just beyond me how the sensors would not reflect a perfectly accurate and consistent strikezone. . .

That's not how the game is played man. The game involves human umpires. That's what baseball is.

Going to be a long game with Hawk bitching about the strike zone, and starting the game on Friday.

that is not real time, though - and does not use sensors on ball, batter or plate.

I don't think you get baseball man. That is not how you play the game. You don't put sensors in a baseball. It's cork, yarn, leather. Some mud.
Umpires call the game. Just like players play the game umpires call the game. That's what it is. It's a game played, officiated and watched by humans.

I am usually a traditionalist with most things, and I cannot explain why I depart as to this one situation.

I think it is just that I have seen such BS be passed as a strike - esp in a Konerko at bat a few weeks ago in Oakland, I believe, and a Rios at-bat in Minnesota (both at end of game) - that IMO has changed the course of some very important games.


You don't really believe the strikezone goes against the Sox consistently, do you?

See that's what I'm getting at. Calls come and go. It's a bloody human game. There are no sports that are officiated by machines.

Well, that's the beautiful thing about 600 AB's over 162 games. You have plenty of chances to get over it.

112 pitches in 6 innings. Johnny needs to learn to get quicker outs.

Oh but we are being treated to another Hawk Bitch-A-Palooza about the fucking umpires. Shut the fuck up goddamn it. Is this asshole ever fucking happy? Might be the most miserable motherfucker aside from mariotti in sports.

Hawk says he knew the stike zone would be bad today, then why are you still bitching about it. Hawk needs to be fired this season. Big Frank needs to stay out of the booth also, he is helping Hawk bitch.

"Where's that pitch?"

It was 4 inches above the letters, you bastard.

"Where's that pitch?"
It was 3 inches inside, Hawk.

"I can't believe that they let Joe West ump an important game late in the season...yakkity"
You've got to be kidding me Hawk. Just shut the fuck up man. This is getting embarassing. Seriously.
Hawk is fucking completely umprofessional.
