*2010 MLB Thread*

[The Poet]

I am no fan of the "replay" option in baseball, for a number of reasons. But I do find it interesting that the same group of people who most vehemently oppose the replay also so loudly object to the length of baseball games . . . namely, the umpire corps.

Hey, if they don't like getting a 6-figure income for hanging out at the ballpark for a few hours a day, they should try working 8 hours a day for minimum wage in a REAL job instead.

Nice!

I have an inside source that tells me it went something like this:

Me cago en la madre que te pario. Eres un come mierda ciego. Que carajo estabas pensando te leventaste este dia. Eres un idiota.

I think that Gallaraga will be thanking Joyce down the road. Gallaraga will forever be known as the one who was robbed of the perfect game. If he had pitched a perfect game, he probably wouldn't be as famous/infamous. Anybody remember Dallas Braden? He pitched a perfect game last month, but most have already forgotten about him.

It still sucks that he was robbed by a stupid call, but I think down the road it will help him.

Steven Strasburg was just awesome tonight. Fourteen strike outs through seven innings in his very first game

I can't wait for the Yankees to trade for him.

A plus plus fastball and a nice curve and change to boot. Not too shabby young fellow!

He has 5 pitches all with command. That is remarkable.

The kid really should be on a team that can score him runs. If not he will turn into Johan.
