a baserunning blunder is between Vlad and Torii people blame in on Torii.
Watch the LL World Series even, managers send slow runner intentionally to steal 2nd with 2 outs and runners at the corners because if you have a fast runner at 3rd he can score if the throw goes to 2nd.
The reason why it works is because hardly any catchers can resist throwing out a runner, Laird did and did the smart thing.
and the runner at first takes a lead that is like a full foot longer than normal. And as soon as the pitcher breaks to 1B the runner takes off. He also has to have big lead off 3rd too though

I know…huh? and I’ve also been known to enjoy a cocktail or two.
frankly it’s too long, but I use it on all Yahoo! blogs and FanNation. I used to go by Brian S. on Yahoo!, but then one day I realized there were like 5 other Brian S.s. and my screenname is brianguy, so I was tempted to just use that. but then I decided my name switch might be confusing to someone, so better go with both.
Favorite little conversation with Stu Natz with the lakers down by 5
Stu: I am looking at the stat sheet here Chick and the Lakers are 13 – 18 from the free throw line
If they would have made those other 5 we would be tied
Chick : and if we started the game over we would be tied also
It came up in a Minnesota game thread… Jepsen or Bulger? Would you rather date a psychobitch or a fat chick?
We decided on Psychobitch at the same time Jepsen K’ed the M&M boys. So he became psyKobitch, and we shortened it to “psyKo”. Bulger became “Fat Chick” by default.
the IE catcher made back to back errors on bunts. The first time it was towards the 1B side of the mound and the catcher and pitcher collided. More the pitchers fault I guess, the very next batter layed down a bunt down the 3rd base line and he dropped it
Texas is a +175 underdog. Perfect time to put your money where your mouth is because you’ll never find better odds for a team you think is going to win.

I mean how many times have you seen a guy steal 2nd in that situation
and slow down towards 2nd trying to bait a throw even in the Bigs
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
I remember we did that
With Maicer and figs
Figgi4life - August 26, 2009 via mobile
my favorite is when runners at the corners 2 outs
and the runner at first takes a lead that is like a full foot longer than normal. And as soon as the pitcher breaks to 1B the runner takes off. He also has to have big lead off 3rd too though
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
I admire your vigor...
but Torii had the play in front of him. He should not have been thrown out returning to third. Especially with 2 outs!
Slasher52 - August 26, 2009
yea I'll give you that
once the throw came to 3rd he probably should have just ran home

3rd base ump can’t believe someone can steal home, so someone had to call time. Am I getting this right?

On the replay you can see the 3rd base ump hold up his arms to call time.

Then where's the controversy?
It’s clearly time out. Back to third for Figgy.

I don't think anyone on the Angels noticed the 3rd base ump. What they saw was the home plate ump call time just before Figgy arrived at the plate.
opiejeanne - August 26, 2009
I think the controversy from Soth
is that Figgy was already planning to go, and the ump granted time when Figgy wasn’t at 3rd.

You were right the first time
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
I thought
Bulger was psyko?
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
I dunno...
I thought Jepsen was psyKo and Bulger was fat chick. I’ve been wrong before.
Anyone remember who was who?
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
It's "psyKo" and "fat chick"
red floyd - August 26, 2009
I resemble that.

Forgot it was an early game.

“Pour me a cup of tea big fella!” (one of my favorite Chick Hearn quotes).
Downing Rules - August 26, 2009
Favorite little conversation with Stu Natz with the lakers down by 5
Stu: I am looking at the stat sheet here Chick and the Lakers are 13 – 18 from the free throw line
If they would have made those other 5 we would be tied
Chick : and if we started the game over we would be tied also

Angel Aviator - August 26, 2009
Jepsen still in?
Is he the regular 8th inning guy?
Freddyd - August 26, 2009
I think that's a solid assumption
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
Read my confusing post above...
clarified here:
2008 Dondo – Shields – Frankie
2009 Bulger – Jepsen – Fuentes
2008 Speier = 2009 Arredondo
2008 Oliver = 2009 Oliver

That's psyKo.
Jepsen is psyKo, Bulger is Fat Chick.
red floyd - August 26, 2009
no

I was the one who started that nickname.

(pins medal on red floyd)
that’s the third award doled out today.
Downing Rules - August 26, 2009
rev said during a game against the twins in minnesota that Jepsen is fat chick
deejayelleseven - August 26, 2009
Here's a link
psyKo
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
I stand corrected .
deejayelleseven - August 26, 2009
Your way makes sense too
Jepsen is heavier
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
For deejay...
It came up in a Minnesota game thread… Jepsen or Bulger? Would you rather date a psychobitch or a fat chick?
We decided on Psychobitch at the same time Jepsen K’ed the M&M boys. So he became psyKobitch, and we shortened it to “psyKo”. Bulger became “Fat Chick” by default.
red floyd - August 26, 2009
I was in that thread I just forget .
deejayelleseven - August 26, 2009
seems like it should be the other way around
Jepson probably has like 40 lbs on Bulger
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
Anyone else okay with just calling them "Jepsen" and "Bulger"?
Given that those are their names.
Gorbachav5 - August 26, 2009
What fun is that?
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
You might avoid pissing off the few females in attendance?
opiejeanne - August 26, 2009
I don't get mad when someone gets called an "asshole"
Why should a woman get mad when a baseball player gets called “Fat Chick”?
WiHaloFan - August 26, 2009
Fine with me
Angel Aviator - August 26, 2009
whatever you say Gorby
MH252525 - August 26, 2009
Nicknames are fun and all
But when no one even remembers what they are because they were forced in the first place, it loses its fun-ness somewhat. IMO

Last night at the Quakes game
the IE catcher made back to back errors on bunts. The first time it was towards the 1B side of the mound and the catcher and pitcher collided. More the pitchers fault I guess, the very next batter layed down a bunt down the 3rd base line and he dropped it
