It's only a matter of time until Mark Kirk says he never actually served in the military.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) He had to have surgery after it IIRC. that is correct

Griff is one of those players that younger fans will never understand just how good he really was in his prime because of how he played after leaving Seattle. Had he not had all his injury problems after going to Cinci, he would have shattered the HR Record.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 08:07 AM) That's the tough part. There's a fine line between human error and flat out not doing your job. If you have that kind of error in a "real life" job, you would probably be fired. Saying he should be fired was an over-reaction as he has proven to be a good umpire for 20+ years, but he at least needs to be suspended for a few weeks. See, I just don't see it as a fire-able offense, or even a suspend-able offense. Is it a mistake? Yes. There are worse mistakes done every day. The ONLY difference is that this cost a pitcher a perfect game. BUT, the team still won. And ultimately, the game is about winning... not individual accomplishments. On top of that, he was very apologetic about the event.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 07:45 AM) Ever heard of rivalries? I wont get into this whole discussion other than to say I will always 100% respect accomplishments of opposing teams and rivals. If Carlos Zambrano goes out and throws a perfect game against the White Sox at the Cell and I was there, I would applaud. Not a doubt in my mind.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) Chances that MLB over turns a call that bad? That thought crossed my mind too. I dont know what MLB has in it's power to do for something like this. QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) MLB should choose to either give Galaragga the perfect game he pitched, or fire the umpire. Let's not over react about firing the umpire. the dude made a mistake. He's HUMAN. I dare anyone here to say with 100% honesty that they have never made a mistake on the job. Unfortunately, sometimes those mistakes have larger consequences. My understanding is that Joyce is a farily well respected ump... although i havent consulted "Hawks Book of Bad Umpires". QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) I'm talking about in his interview after the game. He didn't even say a bad thing about the ump, just complimented his teammates and talked about how great of an experience it was. It was amazing to listen to. 100% class act.

I have to say, I really applaud the way Galarraga and Joyce handled themselves after the game. Galarraga said he was ok and that he knows he threw a perfect game and that is all that matters. And, Joyce was beside himself on a radio interview and continually said how bad he felt that he screwed up. I lesser man (Joe West?) wouldnt have said a word. Galarraga had the best comment thought. He simply said, in the end it doesnt matter what the umpire called... he'll show his kid the DVD of the game and that is all that matters. That is the absolute CORRECT attitude.

If you can say, what will your position be?

The headline that almost was: "Obama supporters struck down by lightening bolt from God"

I'm almost entirety in the "None of the above" category. With time, I am pretty sure Pearl Harbor has been debunked and 9/11 is non-starter since Al-Quida has taken full responsibility. With regards to JFK, this one has some interesting twist and turns, but in general I believe it was one man... or few people... that were not associated with the government. The ONLY thing i find interesting is I remember hearing years ago that there are a bunch of JFK assassination investigation files that were put under lock and key for something like 50 years. I have never been able to re-find this info again, but if true, then that is very interesting.

Can anyone find Bobby's career state sin non-save situations? I seem to remember he has NEVER done well with big leads or tie games.

You suck bobby

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 26, 2010 -> 12:20 PM) Is it true that Quentin was offered an extension before the 2009 season? I seem to remember that

WOW! horrible base running there. THANKS!
