I've said Marchand can be a douche, and don't deny it. However, he isn't a cocky, arrogant, self-entitled, whiney little bitch like Lawrie.

 

I hope for nothing but the worst (not injuries_ for his career.

 

Lol Marchand isn't even the only cocky, douchebag, arrogant player one of your favourite teams have. Ochocinco and Seguin are a couple. And isn't T.O. one of your favourites?

I live in South Jersey and have the same problem (although I don't pay for YES, it comes standard with my cable package for w/e reason). Get all of the programming, no games though.

 

MLB just sucks when it comes to these things. You have to get Extra Innings or mlb.tv if you want to watch local broadcasts of games that aren't in your market.

 

If your cable network didn't tell you this before you bought YES, that is really beat. I'd try getting my money back.

Well, we ordered it right off the TV. It's called the 'Sports Pass' for 5.95/permonth.

 

It's alright. They have some other decent programming, such as Mike Francesa in the afternoon which I like to put on in the background. Lol.

 

How much is the extra innings? Might have to get it but I assume it's expensive. Especially considering I have no interest in watching baseball outside of the Yankees.

I think it was around $200 for me. It might be different depending on who your cable provider is though. I have no clue. Also it gets less expensive later in the season.

Ball don't lie

 

Ball don't lie is right.

 

The called third strike wasn't THAT high at all. It was close.

 

I'm not sure if you thought this would help your case or not, but this is the exact chart I was going to post. The called strike was not as bad as you want to make it seem.

As bad as I want to make it seem? Have I made it seem a certain way? That was my first post on the subject.

 

Bottom line: it was a ball.

Terrible call.

 

Papelbum needed a bailout call because he was going to blow that save for sure. I'm glad as hell he's out of Boston.

 

Lol, yes he was definitely "bailed out", considering that the only base runner of the inning was due to an incompetent third baseman.

That has nothing to do with anything. He was still bailed out, no matter how the only runner reached base. Unless it was for that shitty call, there would have been a three run homer coming up.

 

Seriously though, Papelbum is such a touch-bag. He was one of my least favorite Boston athletes when he was on the Red Sox, and the recent article with him talking shit about the Red Sox......... <_< .

He does have a douche side to him, yes. But I will never understand why you and so many other Red Sox fans hate him for performance. His numbers are otherworldly. I guess you guys were just spoiled by him, so every time he had an off night and lost a lead, it was panic time? Maybe now that he is gone you will see what every non-Yankee fan has had to deal with at some point in the last 10 years with the back of their bullpen.

No, he just flat out sucked half the time. I'm pretty sure it was two years ago where every time he would come in, I was preparing for the Red Sox to lose.

 

The only pitcher on the Red Sox I had disliked more than him for a while was Buccholz because he was honestly the worst pitcher I had seen on the Red Sox for the longest time. I don't like Josh Beckett either.

I have Time Warner Cable. I looked last night and it's 4 payments of 49.50...so yeah, basically 200.

Flat out sucked? If that is the case I would like you to point me in the direction of some relief pitchers who don't "flat out suck". I will give you one - Mariano Rivera. Lets here some more. This will be good.

 

Also, I was at the game last night, so I didn't get to see a good replay of the Byrd play at 1st until just now. Absolutely the right call.

Also, Kerry Wood retired yesterday and it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

His 20 strikeout game is still one of my favorite baseball things. Pitching porn.

Complains about the umpire with Brett Lawrie, yet has no complaints with the umpire behind the plate for Wood's performance.

 

Interdastin'.

 

 

Talk about a generous umpire and a half that game.

Other than one of the Howell strikeouts, I don't have a problem with any of those called 3rds. Possibly the first Bagwell strikeout.

 

Even if you take those two out, that is still one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen. Possibly the most dominant.
