OT - I'm bored, Part Cinco!

[puckhead]

when do they start putting in spare outfielders in to pitch?

 

[pixburgher66]

We don't have position players to spare. Neither do the braves. Starters are gonna have to be used soon.

I NEED TO SLEEP PIRATES! GAHHHH

well you asked for it.
sac fly ftw, coming up

 

[Darkstone42]

Not looking good.

 

[pixburgher66]

THAT WAS THE WORST CALL I'VE SEEN IN YEARS. THIS RANKS UP WITH THE GALLARAGA PLAY

 

[puckhead]

meh. close enough.

g'night all

 

[Darkstone42]

I couldn't see it. What happened?

 

[naslundfan19]

Buster Olney agrees it was a bad call. (I didn't see it, BTW.)

 

[pixburgher66]

You need replay MLB. I'm sorry. This was awful. I'm sincerely fuming right now.

 

[Darkstone42]

What happened? My cable service is supposed to include Extra Innings, but it doesn't, so, you know, I can't watch it. (I'm cancelling my entire cable service by the end of the week. I'm not paying for this.)

Grounder to 3rd base, Pedro throws home, McKenry tags Lugo out 3 feet away from the plate, Lugo jumps up after being tagged out and his foot hits home (he thought he was out too), and he's called safe. After 6 hours, 39 minutes, the ump blows the easiest call I've ever seen.

 

[pixburgher66]

@Steelersdepot I think he had a good view.... on Twitpic

So. Pissed. Off.

 

[Darkstone42]

Wow. That wasn't even remotely close.


The Pirates have gotten hosed a lot this season on plays involving tags.

 

[pixburgher66]

The real winner: Jim Joyce.

 

[Darkstone42]

Was that Jim Joyce who made the call?

 

[pixburgher66]

That was such a great game too. I just...damn.

 

[pixburgher66]

Was that Jim Joyce who made the call?

No, dear Lord that'd be awful. It was Jerry Meals. He had a horrible strike zone all night, and it SERIOUSLY seemed like he was tired and just packed it in. Horrible.

Ah, I've never liked Meals. He does always have a terrible strike zone. Him and West are my least favorite.

I can't sleep for some reason.
