And then there's this

Good lord folks, get a life.

 

Beltran to Giants awaiting only his approval:

Pirates have to file the complaint there, but Facebook campaigns and threats to the family? Wow. That's just ridiculous.

 

Maybe some people are starting Facebook campaigns. We aren't.

It's still a little amazing that you're casting doubt into whether this was a totally loony call.

 

Now we know what Steeler fans do during the summer.

 

The Braves had 15 hits, all singles. They're as punchless as a paraplegic boxer.

 

Yeah, I wasn't criticizing the Pirates for the complaint. Just the locos out there. But then, I guess no winning seasons for 20 years will do that to a fan base.

 

Good God, it's just baseball ...

 

Most likely just a formality. Remember he flew to the All-Star Game on the Giants' jet.

 

Oh, I understood where your criticism was directed. Right where mine was. Absolutely insane. But hey, at least baseball fans in Pittsburg are starting to care again.

 

Agree to disagree.

 

How can you still disagree? You've seen Lugo's comments, seen his reaction right after the play and yet you still somehow think the ump may have got it correct. I'm not sure I get that.
