and a sweep at home if not for that shameless call against Tori's RBI hit.

how do you figure?

again i stipulate that the umps TIED the game last night, but agon WON the game….

Because if they had called the third strike it would have been a win. Agon wouldn't have come to the plate at all.

Thaaaaaaat's riiiight!

nahhh

you cant let fuentes off that easily can you? all fuentes needed to do is settle down get agon out, and head to the 10th. that loss is on feuntes, not the umps….besides who loads the bases in the bottom of the 9th with a one run lead?

K rod. Did it time after time.

We all have ulcers.

And yes, we can and do blame that loss on the umps, because the pitch they called ball 4 was strike 4. You can look at the screen-captures of the gameday strike zone. And you can check the look on Green’s face when he knew he’d struck out on the (not) checked swing.

The Iliad ends with Hector’s death… Achilles is in fact quite alive and with a fully intact heel for the entirety of the Iliad. It is also, however, not in the Odyssey either. There is a rather lengthy flashback in the Aeneid that recalls Achilles’ heel.

swiss mcgee - September 17, 2009 reply

I find it hilarious that list includes Mo Vaughn.

Wasn’t he on Boston for most of his career? If that cheater had any respect for the game he’d give his MVP to Tim Salmon.

and how can you draw a parallel

between ADAM RIGGS and DAVID ORTIZ? ;) It’s purely comical to say our series was “tainted” when we were playing the poster-child of steroids, Barry Bonds. HAHAHAH!

who really cares?

steroids were rampant for almost every team the last 10 years. to say one team is more guilty than another is completely insane.

Yeah, but only one of the two teams has had it's two big names caught as cheaters AFTER the big crackdown.

big names?

like petite? or giambi? or sosa? or mcguire? or conseco? come on. every team had their “cheaters” and you cant possibly think that only the names you hear are the ones doing it

go home.

why?

cuz i agree that steroids were a problem? but i also think it was a league-wide problem and therefore think that calling out one particular player or organization is stupid? im not saying anything bad about the halos, im just saying that implying that the red sox are the worst abusers of steroids is ridiculous.

whats your opinion on David Ortiz

who said people should be banned for PED? I’m sure that bid him in the ass.

honestly

i think it sucks. i think it sucks for every player and team that benefited from it

So, then, it sucked for every team then.

yes

exactly, every team, equally. for the entire league…thus my point

my point was

you should never state something like “people should be banned from baseball for doing PED’s” and be a total hypocrite. Thats why I think David Ortiz is a joke

have you seen his numebrs lately

i would think even red sox fans think hes a joke

as a human being

not as a player. Barry Bonds put up great numbers too.

ortiz is waaayyy over paid

and over-hyped to a 6th hiiter

well my point is

he is a hypocrite in a real bad way

yep

Sorry about that...

I just noticed we had a bunch of our trolls over at OTM. That’s LAME. Notice I have zero comments there.

sorry they said angel fans go to shitty schools

i beg to differ

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. I’m a “turn the other cheek” kinda guy, but I realize a lot of others are not that way.

meh i take action

although i try to turn to cheek

speaking of cheeks...

ouch, I just saw Santana hit Victor Martinez in the butt cheek on the replay.

Was that a retaliation for Vlad?

i havent seen the game

watching the game

If it was, Santana deserves an Oscar for the way he reacted to the hit.

Rick Reed is a part-time actor...

coincidence? :)

I am too

but I have a limited number of cheeks to turn.

its usually the uneducated that start

spouting off about education….at least from what i have experienced

No, the Oakland A's are, and always have been

This is bizarre:

Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles Lakers
Buffalo Bills

Georgia Southern Southern Eagles

Huh?

were you not at the game thread where this was discussed?

on HH?

I was only on the first two game threads tonight when mom called me in for dinner.

yes

on HH. i moved around alot growing up and became a fan of team i could watch on national TV in the 90’s GSU is where i went to college tho

Cool.

A good night to you, streaker.

I don't see any of your big names belonging to us.

Of the 16 people on that list, the only one you could seriously argue for a “big name” is Troy Glaus. I don’t think that stacks up to well against having your two biggest names, not even having fingers pointed at them, but actually BEING CAUGHT CHEATING. And again, you treat this like it was something that happened 10 years ago. This was THIS YEAR.

manny got caught this year

if im not mistaken, ortiz was caught for stuff he did in 2003…

Well, for Manny it was this year.

For Ortiz it was admittedly a while ago and only came out this year.

and technically

manny got caught long after he left the sox

Shit, "technically" 0 people who have played for the Angels have actually been confirmed as cheaters.

The Red Sox have at least two.

two KEY members.

Although, Adam Riggs did play a huge part in the 2004 season with that walk-off against the Yankees (that probably aided the Red Sox, as well).

and that does suck

theres nothing more that i want than a real honest WS championship. but there hasnt been one of those since maybe last year…possibly 07….but for about 10 years prior, steroids most likely had their hand in who won

Bullshit.

2007 had Ortiz and Ramirez. How the hell could that POSSIBLY be considered honest when we know both of them are cheaters?

because in 2007 there was more scrutiny

and i would think they wouldnt be that stupid. it could possbly, i didnt say it was a no doubter…just possible

No. Manny got caught AFTER 2007.

There is no level of scrutiny present then that is not present now.

manny was caught in 2009

with the dodgers. and ortiz was caught in 2003. im just saying that in 2007, there is no specific evidence of PED’s

And what "specific" evidence is there that anyone in 2002 was tainted?

In the article presented it even admits that no one on the Angels is accused of cheating in 2002. Beyond thatwhat no one on the 2002 team has ever actually been CAUGHT cheating. If anything, they would beless suspect than the 2007 Red Sox.

true

but the fact is all WS champions from like 1999-2007 are suspect.

Really? Name the cheaters on the 2006 Cardinals.

Or the cheaters on the 2005 White Sox.

Ekstein...

total juicer!

(i jest)

I know right?

seeing as i dont know personally of any single baseball player

who has used PED’s or steroids, except for those that admitted it. i cant tell you even if sosa used them. what i can say is that it was a major problem during that era and not everyone using got caught, i can guarantee that. and it would not surprise/shock me to find out that multiple people on both of those teams used them

Yet the only WS teams in the last 5 years with people we KNOW have cheated is the red sox.

are the 2007 and 2004 Red Sox. And thus why the Red Sox are baseballs most tainted team.

i think the red sox rings

are just as deserving as any other during that time frame. some yankee rings are tainted too, with everyone knowing giambi and petite both juiced, and the suspicion of clemens juicing in his later years… either way, hopefully the 2009 sox can put to bed all this “cant win without PED’s” talk. after all brian roberts wasnt juicing when he stole second was he?

Nope. But does Roberts even get the chance

if Juicer Ortiz doesn’t hit one over the Monster vs Washburn? Tough to know.

do the giants make the WS without juicer bonds?

who knows. and that is why we take it for what it is

If Juicer Bonds isn't in the series

it just makes it easier for us to win.

a million times easier

dude was batting over .500

without him

you may have had a harder opponent

We beat them WITH Juicer Bonds.

What harder opponent?

you coudl argue that

bonds was the team and single-handedly got them there, and if it were fair a more balanced team could have made it.

They couldn't beat him.

We did. We still win.

I hate the bug that causes my comments to run off the edge of the

screen so I can’t see what I’m typing. Hope they get it fixed soon.

If only Thurman Thomas could have taken a few more roids...

we’d be talking about the greatest four year run in the history of the NFL. It still is the greatest four year run, just without any ring-age.

I don't think one hit in one game can count as being "huge." If Riggs doesn't get that hit

the game merely remains tied.

Long after? I thought it was less than a year.

But I did see the way he treated his teammates when he was demanding to be traded. No team deserves a teammate like that.

That's the point I was trying to make actually...

Adam Riggs

Anyone remember the “ANGEES” game?

hell ya!

That was funny. That’s probably why he turned to the juice.

I was at that game

And happened to notice the misspelling early on. EVERYONE around me in the stands thought I was insane.

Da, comrade green.

FYI: Umps file verbal abuse complaint

Article

Rick Reed, the home-plate umpire during a controversy-filled 9-8 Angels loss, accused the Angels’ coaching staff of verbally abusing the umpiring crew as it was leaving the field.

damn

sounds like he’s got some sand in his pussy. Verbal abuse?? You are an umpire and you can’t handle some verbal abuse?? Wrong profession for you Rick.

An attempt on Reed's part to deflect attention away from the fact that he screwed up.

I like how he admits it's a strike

but then instead of just saying he made a bad call he says it’s because Napoli moved his glove up. (uh yea he moved his glove up because he thought they had just won the game and was getting up from his crouch).

So he admits that he cost the Angels a game and expects them to just say what exactly?

He expects them to say

Thank you sir! May I have another?

3rd Echelon - September 17, 2009 reply

The cameraman missed it in the 9th of TONIGHT's game....

but there was a check swing in the 9th that was appealed down to third base umpire Dick Reed (Sox). Reed signaled and then the camera showed Scioscia and the Angels coaches in the dugout nearly falling over laughing. Not sure what that exchange was all about. But, I doubt it was friendly after hearing Dick Reed Sox’s quote today:

“Their deportment as we left the field, going through the Angels dugout, left a lot to be desired," plate umpire Rick Reed told the Boston Herald. "We filed a report after the game and I would think there will be a coach or two over there that would be regretting his actions today."

I should also add that my knowledge of Spanish is patchy, pieced together from taking a year of high-school Latin, being married to a girl of Mexican heritage, being a fan of Trio los Panchos, and growing up in LA. So while I understand well what I use and have a decent vocabulary, I don’t know much Spanish grammar; while I know the meaning of all the words in your phrase, I can’t give it a cogent meaning.

shoudnt

yell at the umps. ive seen many a red sox and bills game get screwed away by bad calls, but in the end the team should have never let the game come down to one call. they should have played better and won in spite of the calls. im a local ref, and sometimes we mess up, but we never mean to. and we are never proud of it. but yelling at the umps/refs does nothing but piss more people off

That's why we need robots.

Haven't you seen The Terminator?

F that.

clover_black - September 17, 2009 reply

thatd be expensive

Remind me again what a major league umpire makes in a year.

too much

but havent you had your computer fail on you. what if that were to happen, as it would, to the robots? both systems have major problems, might as well stick with what we know

I'd prefer a system where the super-accurate machine part is the one that takes precedence

while the fallible human component takes a backseat unless a problem crops up. To wit—You could have a heads up display that umpire’s wear that overlays an umpires mask and tracks the ball through the zone. We already have the technology for the tracking the ball, that’s shown on gameday. All you’d need to do is incorporate that into the umpire’s mask.

But what about the delay inherent in such a thing?

As it is, the mark shows up on Gameday about 5 min after Terry calls it…presumably this newfangled system would be faster?

I have a couple of posts on this around here the past couple of days.

Unless you alter the player uniforms so that there is a mandatory marker at the letters and knees which the robot can decipher, I cannot see how you would not need a fallible human component at the start of each at-bat to recalibrate the super-accurate machine in order to find the top and bottom of each batter’s natural strike zone.

Stirrups - September 17, 2009 reply

I know you know like 100x more than me on the subject

but explain why simply measuring each player before the start of each season wouldn’t work. Say from their knees to their nipples and then whenever they come up the computer knows exactly what each strikezone should be. Wouldn’t that work a million times better than sensors on the uniforms?

Ok. Let's take this one single concept.

Let’s say that the top of the strike zone is the player’s nipples. So the player comes in to get measured and takes off his shirt and you grab your tape measure.

At this point in time you have a problem. The player is standing straight up. You don’t judge a strike zone by how a player stands straight up. You measure based on their natural batting stance. So you need the make the player assume his natural stance. Now you measure. Perhaps you now find the nipples at 48" off the ground. Go plug that into your computer. Then, whenever THAT player comes to bat, the super-sophisticated computer automatically sets the top of the zone to 48". Bam. Done. You are happy.

Except….

If that batter were ME, when I went in for MY measurement, I would crouch down as low as I could and pretend that this was my natural batting stance. Whatever I could get away with. I couldn’t fake how high my knees were off the ground, but I could fake my chest. I could artificially “squeeze” my strike zone for that season. Awesome for me. Sucks for all the pitchers throughout the league.

Additionally, batters may naturally adjust their stance during the course of the season, all on their own. You need to be able to adjust for that. How? Perhaps more frequent measurements? Why, yes, that would work.

In fact, what would be the optimal flexibility in adjusting the measurement to gain complete and fair accuracy over time? the answer would be to be able to adjust when the batter stepped up to bat IN REAL TIME. That is the most fair, and that is the most accurate for each at bat. So, without slowing up the game, and without relying on human fallibiity, how do you find the batter’s nipples for THIS at bat in THIS game?

Stirrups - September 17, 2009 reply

Actually, that's not a half-bad idea.

red floyd - September 18, 2009 reply

It's only half-good, though.

The markers would have to be on the front of the uni. That is the same side that gets soiled as the game progresses. Grass and dirt stains might cover the markers, or rub them off. To prevent this, you would need to have a lot of marker material. This would make the unis look pretty stupid, kind of like freeway cleanup workers. And players such as Aybar and Willits would be pulling up their pants and moving up the marker on the knees to squeeze the lower limit off of the zone.

Stirrups - September 18, 2009 reply

Magnetic material, kind of like the libraries use, in a couple of pockets inside the uniform.

Sewed in.

Or sewn in, as you prefer.

I prefer them sewn, myself.

Those are called RFID tags. They create an anomoly in an electromagnetic field that can be read like a bar code. They do not provide the location resolution necessary to define a strike zone. They kind of just let the RFID tracking devices know if something is in the area.

But…you do not want to provide a baseball player with anything he can tamper with. If players can cork bats and go unnoticed, they sure as hell could be their own seamstress and move anything stitched inside the uni. And then the whole robot things becomes comedy. What? Some ump is going to frisk some player, or require them to disrobe at the plate, every time the ump gets suspicious? And the ump would also have to carry a working scanner to wand a player and make sure that the MLB tag is the one located correctly, and that the correct MLB tag has not been relocated. This technology gets to be a mess.

Stirrups - September 18, 2009 reply

only if you are willing to let your daughter marry one.

That's a quite reasonable take in general

and Sosh himself has said many times that a team has to play well enough to overcome bad calls. But Wednesday’s game was not a case of one or even several close calls that upon examination went the wrong way. This was a case of more than a few clearly bad calls that suggest either ineptitude or purposefulness.

What a bitch.

Talking shit and giving verbal warnings through the Boston Herald? Keep your bitchass mouth shut, Ricky boy.

The level of discourse on Halos Heaven is adjusted for my esteem of the opponent. When we play a worthy opponent I can write you poems make a strong man lose his mind, I ain’t no pig without a wig, I refuse to treat these opponents as more than swine. It is bad out there, high water everywhere.

I will let you know when I write the cover story for an issue of Juztapost. It will happen soon.

It won't be for a few more games, since we play Texas next.

And my doctor is putting me on blood pressure meds as of today.

best thing

to ever happen to me – i was wound tight before!

It's called gonzo journalism

From Wikipedia:

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism which is written subjectively, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first person narrative. The style tends to blend factual and fictional elements to emphasize an underlying message and engage the reader. The word Gonzo was first used in 1970 to describe an article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularized the style. The term has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavors.

Gonzo journalism tends to favor style over accuracy and often uses personal experiences and emotions to provide context for the topic or event being covered. It disregards the ‘polished’ edited product favored by newspaper media and strives for the gritty factor. Use of quotations, sarcasm, humor, exaggeration, and even profanity is common. The use of Gonzo journalism suggests that journalism can be truthful without striving for objectivity and is loosely equivalent to an editorial.

My cat is offended, sir.

Ah, I just got that one...took me a sec! :-D

W H O O P E E

a good friend of mine dated Ruth Buzzi, said she was a real hottie and a great dancer.

Who'da thunk it?

My dad went on a double date and his buddy’s date was Minnie Pearl, during WWII before he shipped out. It must have been while he was stationed in New Jersey. Dad wasn’t too impressed because she was older than he was by about 5 years, therefore too old for a young guy like him.

Was she wearing the hat with the price tag still on it?

No hat. He said she was kind of quiet at dinner and later when they went dancing.

Not a fireball, at least not on that date.
