Come on ump, you got to break that up.

How did you wear out your hip cartilage?

I refereed over 600 youth and high school and college soccer games in about ten years. Some of those were done with a torn hip flexor muscle, and did not help.

However, the surgeon said it was a matter of "when", not "if", as some of this is genetic. I was the youngest hip replacement person they had done in some time, excepting car crash victims and the like. I loved rehab, with everyone calling me "sonny" and "young man".

 

[Stokes1931]

Shark has GOT to see more pitches than that!

 

[Stokes1931]

Yep. Hard not to like Kershaw.

Especially with a 7.5 game lead.

We can afford to be magnanimous.

LOL Good point.

I've been known to really despise some nice players in the heat of a pennant race.

HR Blasted.

Ah, yes, I can see the speed of HS/College soccer putting a lot of wear and tear on the hips/knees.

Hector saves a run.

Buster says on the caught stealing.

Baseball writers complain that his defense is not as good as Yadier Molina's, and that may be true. But the caught stealing rate is less due to Posey's defense and arm than it is the Giant pitchers' absolute refusal to either hold runners on better, or speed up their release time

Scutaro is on everything Miley is throwing.

They say that in a pro game, the referee (the one in the middle) runs up to seven miles a match. Younger World Cup referees like Kevin Stott (who is descended from a gazelle, evidently) have been charted running ten miles in a match. College is about six miles in a match, and high school is about 4-5 miles in a match, often less due to using the two man system, which FIFA frowns upon, but it is a monetary issue for most high school leagues.

I have had matches where my Assistant Referees had to carry me to my car, my legs were so dead.

All for a good cause, I loved being a referee.

Now I am getting back into golfing and biking. (I used to ride ten miles around the Rose Bowl every morning when in grad school.) So far so good.

Good points, but it's Hector behind the plate tonight.

 

[Stokes1931]

What happened to last night's :panda:? I want that one back!

 

[Stokes1931]

Good points, but it's Hector behind the plate tonight.

Um, er, I knew that. Just testing to see how much you were all paying attention. Yeah, that's it.

 

[gp956]

Buster! MVP!

 

[MarcoPolo]

Buster Posey - MVP! MVP! MVP!

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey two run homerun! And he went oppo on that one. Impressive!

 

[ColinCoby]

MVP!!!

I'm starting to really believe it could happen.

I believe it. A buddy of mine refs high school games, and he's always complaining about his knees. Glad to hear you're able to enjoy golfing and biking again. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't be active.

Since when did you become Mr. Sunshine? No reverse jinxes? Just straight stuff?

I like it!



Posey's second half has been incredible!

Including tonight, Posey is batting .392, with 19 doubles, 12 homers and 49 RBIs, 31 Walks, 37 K's.

Before tonight he was hitting .383/.460/.642/1.101

Wow!

Go Giants!
