vs. WHITE SOX, 9/06

[Chavez Ravine]

Keeppinger got fancy with that slide and it cost him. It was like he was purposefully trying to confuse the ump.

[scOtt]

Safe. :rofl:

[OFFNY]

He was safe by a mile. We get a call.

He was safe, but not by a mile.

For some reason, Keppinger didn't slide right into home plate.

He slid around the plate, like he was afraid to hurt Wieters or something.

He just did get his hand in there, but it was very close, and it's Keppinger's own fault for making it is close as he did with his inexplicable slide.

[Don Quixote]

Might have gotten a break there.

Hard to tell. From that first angle it looked like Keppinger just missed, but the center-field cam makes it look like he's safe.

[Norfolk orioles]

Man did we catch a break there.

[OFFNY]

My first Orioles game (Eddie Murray's 500th home run.)

My first baseball game was a doubleheader at the original Yankee Stadium in 1971. The White Sox vs. the Yankees. I was 5 and-a-half years old.

I went to a whole bunch of Mets games in 1972.

But I didn't see the Orioles live until 1977.

Eddie Murray was a 21 year-old rookie, and our DH.

I saw Eddie in my first Orioles game when he was a rookie, and you saw Eddie in your first Orioles game in his twilight (and his 500th home run.)

We lost to the Yankees, 14-2.

[weams]

Score one for the good guys. Hawk must be freaking out.

NOoOooo. NOOooooOoooo.

[scOtt]

We're winning! :2yay-thumb: We're winning! :2yay-thumb: We're winning! :2yay-thumb: We're winning!

I thought it was slam dunk safe. That said, the ump must have thought Keppinger missed the plate.

[Don Quixote]

NOoOooo. NOOooooOoooo.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Now would he just do that, or be silent for 20 seconds first, or vice versa?

[scOtt]

NOoOooo. NOOooooOoooo.

[OFFNY]

HE DID miss the plate ...... originally, with that circular slide that he did.

But after he missed the plate, he still managed to sneak his hand in there, just ahead of (and around) Wieters' tag ...... hence, he was safe, but it was very close.

Again, why he did that circular slide in the first place, I have no idea.

[Don Quixote]

It would have been no contest if Keppinger had come to the plate with a straight-on approach; I saw that throw as late all the way in. However, he didn't, and it cost him and his team.

[scOtt]

Off line throw, Chris coulda made second easy, but better on Chris to hold up there. Good throw wastes a hit.

[scOtt]

I like beer.
