I know there's a baseball forum (go there and you'll see I'm pretty much the only fan posting)
but my fucking God, did anyone see the bad double play call in the bottom of the tenth?

Yankees... Destiny or bad calls at Yankee Stadium?

Anyone who watched the Yankee/Twins series saw the Joe Mauer fly ball that landed a FUCKING FOOT inside of the left field foul line that the third base umpire called foul.

Are the Yankee fans so bad that the umpires have to be afraid of them?

4. I LOVE good baseball. I don't hate ANY team. But I've seen some calls at Yankee Stadium
this postseason that boggle the mind.

Obviously you didn't see the fly ball by Joe Mauer in the Y/T series that was called by an umpire that was less than a hundred feet from where it fell a foot inside of the foul line, and I'm betting you didn't see the call at second base a few minutes ago either...

14. Almost THREE QUARTERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS for 3 players...
The only thing the Yankees are ripping is dollars out of New Yorker's wallets.

2. And now A-Rod evens it up. That call at 2nd was crap. He'd been making
that same move all night and gets called on that one?? BS.

6. The call gets made five thousand times during the regular season... and tonight the runner is safe.
Go figure.

9. Did you see the foul call during the Yankees / Twins series?
The ball landed a FOOT inside of the foul line and the third base umpire called it foul.

Did I mention that the bad call was made at Yankee Stadium?

8. As I said before, I'm a baseball fan first and foremost.
I'm being as nice as I can be. Baseball is the best game ever invented (unless you ask a soccer fan) and I'm a fan of good baseball and compliment every good play no matter who makes it.

That said?

Go Dodgers!


p.s. I'm not an an Angel fan, never have been, never will be.

12. Consider...
The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins had to play 163 games in a 162 game season to decide who won their division.

THAT game went into extra innings. 162 + 1 + Extra Innings

Who could argue that Baseball isn't the most awesome game ever invented?

Thank You Mr. Doubleday.

18. You're a dick.

Alert this post, you dick.

Who's the hater now?

If this were college football, you'd have just been penalized for poor sportsmanship.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, you dick.
