4-18-09 Orioles at Red Sox - Game 2

[Spoonless]

I still despise the Yanks more. More history there with the O's. The Sox have only been relevant for the past decade. From 1918 until the new millenium they were punching bags more or less. You'd never know it though considering how pompous their fans are now.

I don't think I'd say they were "punching bags" from 1918 until 2000. Unless of course, you mean any team that doesn't win a WS is a punching bag.

Jack one Wiggy!

[Hank Scorpio]

Wigginton is flying open on everything.

[Orioles Magic]

Seriously, must we continue to be subjected to Red Sox banners on the "Orioles Hangout"? Geeze as if having Camden Yards taken over every summer isn't insulting enough. :angryfire:

[Spoonless]

Call me crazy. But I wouldn't want that to happen. I think it takes away from America's game.

I don't think umpires should influence the outcome of the game.

[Skeletor]

Wiggy needs to learn that when a pitcher has given up back to back walks you don't swing at a 1-0 curveball.

The strikezone is big enough to drive a VW bug through.

Doug Eddings has historically had one of the largest zones among the league umps and I there was a study (BP I think) that showed he walked less and struck out more batters than is the norm for umps.

I think he's consistent though.

Touche'. Point taken. Although to go World Series-less for such an extraordinary amount a time would seem to have a rather a "punching baggy" quality. :laughlol: Believe me, they'd all be calling us alot worse if it had been the O's.

[MurphDogg]

Ah, the old reliability vs. validity argument.

[Hank Scorpio]

I've never seen a team benefit more from dink & dunks in my entire life. Which of these jerks has the horseshoe up their arse?

[Palmer Esque]

Enough with the dinks and dunks.

I despise Boston and everything they stand for...

[Hank Scorpio]

Man, this ump is just horrible.

Just god awful.

[Palmer Esque]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[TonySoprano]

Puke-ilis crushed it.

[J.D.]

How is the strike zone going to be THAT large, and you still hang a change up?

Ugh. He was doing well, too.
