fucck

actually closer than I thought but fuuck he looked out

fish he was out there

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) Hawk talking about life.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Please tell us exactly how he should have slid Mr. Baseball, especially considering he beat the tag and the umpire was behing the play and couldn't see where the 3rd baseman applied the tag. I'll sit back and wait for my answer. Sheesh. I'm not Mr. Baseball, BUT gooch could have hook slided towards left field, and grab the bag with his hand not very easy to do though

o well that would have been a double play ball anyways

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) I absolutely agree with the decision to go to 3rd there. For what? yea that wasn't cora's fault

maybe a make up call

oh man gooch got in there

aww

nice inning

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you, clearly they make mistakes and clearly the AJ call was close in the playoffs. And I am also aware that different umps have different strike zones. As such, the only time I get upset with officiating/umpiring is when it is inconsistent. If a pitch is a strike in the first, it should be a strike in the ninth. If it's a foul in the 1st quarter, it should be a foul in the 4th. also true

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) HR at the Astro's park that was called a HR but actually hit the other side of the line, clearly. well most of the calls went our way -the AJ play -uncalled catchers interference -jermaine dye hit by pitch

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) True, it isnt as easy as it seems, I used to ump as well, but when you are a professional, the least you can expect is consistency. And yes, Hawk is a pro too and needs to stop getting upset with the umps. But that doesnt mean he isn't right, there have been 2 different strike zones today and once (see ball 4 in the first, the one he took not the one he swung at, for Pablo in the 1st) it may have cost the Sox a run. well you know what, umpires make mistakes, hopefully the ump finds some consistency, but if it we can always remember during the playoffs where the call went our way every time

QUOTE(Soxman72 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) I also umpire High School, College, and Independent ball and you just make the call. Ypu do not think about screwing a team. You can not blame the umpires. exactly

as true as it might be, hawks gotta stop blaming the umpires I do some umpiring for local leagues, and I don't even remember what teams up when I'm making calls so its not as easy at as it seems, but when a team sucks lately, it seems like everything goes against us

tough call

alomar!!! wow what a pleasant surprise there

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) You are. IIRC, it was Iguchi with a lead off single, and then Thome homered. alrighty then, I guess anderson hasn't helped with offense
