    You need to cock the bat in your stance.

    That’s what they said.

    And it took a day for someone to post that? We are slipping as a board.

    Did he make more errors benefiting the Astros than the Walgreens? That’s what it seemed to me,

    Of course it did, given your boner against "the Walgreens," which is really not as funny as you think.

    He sucked. Hard. All night. Didn't cost the Nationals the game, they took care of that on their own. But he was awful.

    Lance Barksdale is the logical heir to the crown of Angel Hernandez except he doesn't have Angel's permanent red ass. He should not be a major league umpire.

    Because there were only four of them and not six?

    He certainly had it when he seemed to call what should have been a strike a ball because he didn't like Gomes popping up to leave too quickly.

    Angel would've run him.

    Robles threw his equipment in the umpire's direction and didn't get tossed, which says to me the ump knew he was wrong.

    But yeah, Angel would have run a bunch of them.

    Did you read my post? I said I thought the Astros were the beneficiaries of more bad calls than the Walgreens were.

    As to the name, I'll stop referring to them as the Walgreens as soon as they do the honorable thing and abide by the terms to which they agreed when they came into existence. As long as they continue to seek $100,000,000 from the Orioles with the full help and conspiracy of MLB, I'm going to have an issue. That's not a trivial concern. That's real money we're talking about.

    I misread it, my bad and my apologies. Didn't realize you were an Orioles guy - are you one who blames the Nationals for their current condition? Many do.

    I don't blame the Walgreens for the Orioles' current issues, but I do worry about the future because of this litigation.
