I hate losing. Especially losing ineptly, like our team has been replaced by 25 monkeys who have no training in batting or fielding.
Losing with monkeys would be fun to watch.
Giambi, sadly, is proving my point about why signing him was stupid.
Not only is he doing nothing offensively, he makes Crosby and Powell play 1b sometimes too.
I don’t know about that; I think his offense will be fine. No one on the team except Cust has done anything on offense. Barton is hitting under .200 in AAA. He would have to be actually done offensively for the move not to make sense.
More to the point, if Giambi had actually been at 1st as he should have been. Buck would have been in Right. And we’d still be playing baseball right now tied at 0-0 in the 25th inning.
Which would, of course, be part of the argument against Giambi.
Also, there’s defense.
true, especially if a couple of them took bats and started chasing Kevin Millar around the SkyDome outfield, or whatever they’re calling that plastic baggie these days.
Damn AN 3.0! I mean, um…nevermind.
I’m watching Cleveland at NY on TBS. Jeffrey Maier made a return visit to the RF seats in this game – some schmo interfered with the Indians RFer on a play at the wall. Despite having replay for this kind of issue, the umps still ruled HR. Two things:
1. What’s the purpose of having replay if the umps are too chickenshyte to overrule the call on the field.
2. This is a BRAND NEW stadium. Why doesn’t MLB insist on a buffer zone between the fans and the field of play to avoid these kind of problems.
I hate NY.
I first read your post to say “some kind of butter zone between fans and field”–I thought, that sounds delicious!
Sunday baseball on TBS is a good thing, even if they do show too many Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals games.
Two problems with the “butter zone”.
1. High cholesterol.
or
2. This would be where all the butter-faces would be required to sit.
If we could see their bodies, would it matter?
As long as they are, somehow, constrained from showing us their faces, then, yeah, that would be cool.
I always appreciate butter faces. I think that they’re trying very hard, despite how God has cursed them.
