wtf were you thinking?

Re: baseball

wow, now that was a historical pitching performance... and i think toasty got to see it firsthand.

Unfortunately, I watched that one from my couch. I do have tickets to Game 5 (which will hopefully be the clincher), and had tickets to tonight's game (should it get played) but ended up unloading them. Regardless of whether it gets played today or tomorrow, it's going to be miserable out there weather-wise -- if we hadn't lost Game 2, I'd be going for sure, but that's a lot of money and unpleasantness for a game that won't be the clincher.

Re: baseball

I haven't been following baseball all that much this past season... i was shocked to hear who was in the world series... although its good to see a team i would've never expected from the american league.

Re: baseball

I guess pitchers like Rogers aren't so happy about the advent of HD TV, eh? I noticed it before they pointed it out in the first, because it stuck out like a sore thumb. Was it that obvious on normal sets?

From where I was sitting on my couch and watching my 57" HD wide screen it was so noticable it looked as if he had his thumb up his ass all day..

Re: baseball

The thing that is confusing to me is that everyone has a different story.

Yeah, I don't get this, either. I can't think of any good reason for there to be differing variations on what happened -- clearly, someone has to be lying. Weird.

Re: baseball

Yea I agree on no since of destroying the series because of it. I guess you are correct about everyone for the most part does use it and he is the only one to get caught. Don't you think that he could maybe hide it a little bit more? The thing that is confusing to me is that everyone has a different story. If you ask Rogers he was never asked to remove it. If you ask both La Russa and Leyland they said that the umps got together and asked him to remove whatever substance or dirt that was on his hand.

Re: baseball

Regardless of what it was on his hand he still pitched innings 2 thru 8 with it removed and only allowed 1 hit.

That's why it will probably ultimately be much ado about nothing. If that was discovered after throwing 5 or 6 scoreless innings, it might be one thing, but we actually hit better off him in the first inning when he was doctoring the ball than we did after that. Bring back the pine tar, IMO.

No question that was not "a large clump of dirt" or whatever BS excuse was given, though,,,

Re: baseball

hand sauce or not he pitched a great game. thought it was cool to see him so amped up pitch after pitch. the guy's a competitor and wants to win cant blame him for that.

Re: baseball

i tell you one thing,, if the yanks or mets were playing and this was noticed.. the NY media would have kenny tied to a pike in times square.....

Re: baseball

its a catch 22. they all use it, and no one wanted to start opening this up b/c next year you would have tons of suspensions.. it was cold, the umps know whats going on so i assume they let it go until it they saw the cards saying something. larussa is not a guy who would start the controversy, as well as his friend is coaching in the other dugout...... on top of the fact that isnt any point is destroying the series.... i dunno.. it is supposed to be illegal b/c of gaylord perry's abuse of it, but alot understand its use...

the cards and umps, including the cheif of umpires who was consulted in the stands, didnt seem to have a problem.....

Re: baseball

What does everyone think about Kenny Rogers? There was clearly something on his had in the first inning and now they have pictures of the same substance on his hand during game 3 of the ALCS against Oakland. Regardless of what it was on his hand he still pitched innings 2 thru 8 with it removed and only allowed 1 hit. I hate to jump to conclusions but somebody that has one of the greatest pitching preformances throughout they playoffs, something like this needs to be done other than just telling him to remove it. The 1st inning last night was one thing but now the pictures of game 3 coming out with the same spot on his hand. Thats a bunch of BS imo.



^^^ Game 3 of ALCS is on the left and yesterday on the right
