It amazes me that A.J. Burnett still gets to use his personal catcher today.

Yeah... I kind of see it.
But I also wanted to take the opportunity to express my love for JK Simmons.
I didn't realize people were still wearing them.

Phiten was a very big sponsor for the Mariners this season.
From the Boat race to giving out free bracelet vouchers and demonstrations. It’s definitely more mainstream, and a LOT of the players seem to be wearing them now. More than ever had in the past.

Are the phiten the same as the magnetic crap?
And the phiten have been around for a good 3 or more years now.

It seems as if the Rangers need to only win 1 of the next 3 games to guarantee a trip to the World Series.
A Cliff Lee loss seems unimaginable and I don’t recall ever thinking that about a pitcher. But I also have a short memory.

They'd have to walk ALL THE WAY to the cameras.
I mean… how much work do you expect them to do?
...and now I'm here
Actually, it looks like the fans reached over, but the ball was actually over the fence anyways.
I can’t believe they didn’t even look at it though.
That is major interference.
I think the ball was over the wall and the fans had the right to the ball, but they interfered by sticking their hands into the area of play and knocking Cruz’s glove down.
Bad call.
The fan clearly touched Nelson Cruz' glove IN THE FIELD OF PLAY.
The ball was over the fence and would not have been caught by Cruz, unless Cruz had made a jump to make the catch like vintage Griffey, Gutierrez, Mike Cameron, or Ichiro.
You still have to review that.

Looks foul.
Probably call it a home run though just to be as incompetent as possible.

Lance Berkman and the Yankees didn't even argue, whichmeans that from the dugout they could see it was foul.
And the umpires still called it fair upon initial review.

I rather preferred him conjuring the "double-wank" with those gestures.
Even though I have no idea what the “double-wank” is, it seemed like something George Lucas could monetize with a Pizza Hut tie-in.

So I just looked up Robinson Cano's stats for the first time.
Him winning the MVP would be akin to CC winning the Cy Young.
So the guy who who ran onto the field yesterday was trying to hurt A-Rod because he's dating Cameron Diaz.
Also, I never would have guessed that a guy named Grim LeRogue was crazy.
How did that get through the infield?
Everyone knows Derek Jeter has amazing range…
Derek Holland goes 3-0 on Curtis Granderson after Granderson attempts to bunt 3 times
And then walks him on the next pitch.

But on the replay I now realize that he pulled a hamstring while running, so disregard

Sometimes fans down the line think the ball is foul and they go after it,
but these guys clearly knew the ball was in play, and their own player was going after it. But that wasn’t going to deter them.

It has to do with making comments easier to read, part of the LL commenting guidelines, linked on the sidebar of the front page
Also, it allows individual comments to be link-able

Damn, Nolan turned into the baseball equivalent of Jake LaMotta...
so much for the work outs. When I saw him I was reminded of an old Saturday Night Live skit where the Starship Enterprise is turned into a revolving restaurant. Khan is the health inspector and starts docking Kirk for not having a sneeze guard over the salad bar. Out of no where comes this fat Asian guy playing Sulu and Khan blurts out, “Sulu?

Nolan Ryan is fat.
But he can still kick my ass.

Yankees fans behind home plate disappeared, then reappeared when the NYY had the basses loaded, then disappeared again after they missed their chance.
I’ve just never seen that happen before. Is that SOP for club-level dickheads?
