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

What are you talking about?

I specifically said I have no problem with it.

Fuck, I'd encourage it. Why wouldn't you try to steal signs?

 

They have a ton of goofy pronunciations, not just the ones that draw the usual attention.

 

Brewers no longer bound by $17.5 K-Rod option. They can use him as they see fit.

Apparently you don't remember your little rant about how classless an organization the Rays are for not wanting to play two.

 

How is this situation in any way similar -- especially considering I did not take the Yankees side here?

I'm happy to criticize the Yankees when they deserve it.

But, the Rays were petty.

 

Dude, relax. It was a just a little jab.

 

No problem.

 

If the Brewers, down 3-0 to Colorado, indeed lose, your NL Central leader at the end of the night will be ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates.

 

And that's something that deserves its own thread.

How about a Pittsburgh-Cleveland World Series?

 

Good to see Eric Hosmer come through in the clutch last night. Viva la Revolucion!

And speaking of revolucion.... go Bucs go.

 

Girardi ups the ante and basically accuses the Jays of cheating.

Girardi on Jays' signstealing: "Sometimes we have inclinations that things might be happening in certain ballparks" Off field? "Could be"


@BloggingBombers -- Mark Feinsand

Girardi all but accused the Blue Jays of stealing signs in an unethical manner today, saying sometimes things happen "in certain ballparks."


If a team is using cameras or other electronic means to steal signs, I'd say that's over the line.

But, the Blue Jays are a game below .500 at home this year, and I've seen no evidence they've cheated.

Girardi should STFU if he doesn't have some proof.

 

From today's YES Network broadcast of the Yankees-Jays game:

Name the five Hall of Fame players who spent at at least one year with the Blue Jays.

I think three of them are easy. One was tough. One, I would have never gotten.

That didn't work as well as I hoped. It's tough to read, but you can still read it.
