Balta1701 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) What's wrong with DeAza? He hits left handed. Left handed pitcher on the mound. Left handed batters are not allowed to face left handed pitchers. Rules are rules. What do you expect, a manager to use his own judgment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Well, I remember when he came up with the Sox after the Baines deal, I was convinced that Sosa was the next Clemente....I even wrote to him in Spanish and asked him to change his number from 25 to 21, haha. Probably we'll never see that combination of speed, arm strength, grace, agility, wrist strength, batting style and off-field humanitarianism. Vladimir Guerrero was the closest (that I've seen personally), but nowhere need the speed or joy/reckless abandon that Clemente displayed with the Pirates.

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Interesting. Never heard that one, but facially...before the steroids, definitely a resemblance. Too bad his three sons that played baseball seriously never came close to making it to the majors. At least the Sports City and youth camps vision took off to an extent....maybe not quite as amazing as Clemente envisioned it in the early 70's, but the plane crash kept him from realizing his ultimate vision. Tiger Woods always talked about being Mother Teresa/Gandhi (well, it was more his dad pushing that on him) but it was Clemente who was the closest any athlete has ever come to being a saint off the field of play.

Harry Chappas Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Tigers have 1st and 3rd and nobody out. Somehow they run into a DP with the runner out at home and second. Sox would even find that hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Game over in DET, 5-1 LAA. Jesus, they use Walden in every game it seems. 2 1/2 GB, 1/2 behind CLE....Minnesota I think the closest they've been to 1st place seemingly all season long Let's make it 2-15 and 8 in a row. Do we get our own "Nation" if we sweep both Sox series this season? Edited July 30, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
