It is still a balk in the pitchers stats. So a BALK is a BALK.

Michael Kay just worked "It's all about the base" into the game.

Why did SD fire Bud Black?

Because they got tired of consistently underachieving while under his watch?

He's the worst. If you listen closely it sounds like he's talking out of his nose.

I wouldn't call him the worst, but definitely bottom five.


Brett Gardner is an All Star.

Royals left fielder Alex Gordonwas carted off the field Wednesday night with what looked like a severe groin injury and sure enough the news is bad: He’s been diagnosed witha “Grade 2-plus” strain and is expected to miss eight weeks.

I'm too old to derive pleasure from guys on my favorite team being named an all-star, but kudos to you!

It sounds like your position is shit, Cereal.

You got him confused with Snoogins. Snoogins' position is shit - literally. He has been very obsessed with shit lately. He shit his pants recently and announced it. There is a clinical term for shit obsession, but the word escapes me.

Thanks, Redseat. That only been reported multiple times in multiple threads on multiple message boards.

If anything, they have over-achieved. At least, they have until this year.

Fecal freak.

Yikes! Glad to see I'm not missing anything over there.

this place needs snoogins.

I don't know how missing the playoffs for a decade can be considered "overachieving", but you are right: this is the first time they were EXPECTED to be good and he stunk up the joint.

Minus the fecal fetish, of course.

I didn't expect them to be good.

 

[chappee11]

I didn't expect them to be good.

But you agree that many a preseason publication listed them as a playoff team, yes?

After adding all those pieces and all that payroll, they were expected to contend this year.

Myers will never reach his potential. When two sharp, financially-challenged teams trade away a top prospect/ROY guy, buyer beware.
