Running 2011 Baseball Thread, Vol. I: Dedicated to spnited

Just got done watching the 11 p.m. (PT) edition of Quick Pitch. NOT ONE MENTION of what happened in the Rangers game, just a normal highlights pakage. No one at MLBN can call the Arlington cops? MLB Network, your journalistic integrity is right up there whit that of Radio Moscow and Baghdad Bob!

 

Till the awful end. Tough one to take.

Cubs still suck, though.

 

It was mentioned on the other thread about this but the gap is actually the walkway that allows staff to access to the left field scoreboard and visiting players to go from the bullpen to the clubhouse. Set up is up to code too.

 

I'm guessing it will be topped by a net before the next game.

 

Yeah, Steak and I saw it as it unfolded to our left. We were with Bo Carter and another media friend sitting in Section 14 along the left field wall.
I feel worst for the man's son, who continued to peer over the wall long after the event happened and for Josh Hamilton.
Maybe a net being place there would make it all the more enticing, since it would seem safer, to chase after a souvenir.

 

Saw that, thanks. Saw the picture over there too. Still, my first thought when I saw that was, "All this to avoid another Jeffrey Maier?"

 

That' got nothing to do with the set-up. It's been that way since the place opened in 1994.

 

Should we keep the baseball death confined to the baseball death thread?

In other news, the anti-Mathis has received an early call-up from the Halos...

That's right. I forgot all those players were going to boycott the All-Star game. I wonder who's going to take Adrian Gonzalez's place?

 

That's a pretty blanket statement.

He was likely going for it for his kid.
