This is interesting, because the exact problem was that the ump actually reversed his original call when Pierzynski took off.

It should also be noted that AJ Pierzynski is known as the biggest douche in professional sports . . . this sort of 'massaging' is right in line with other stuff he's been known to pull.

i would have to agree



and i consider it cheating - because aj sure as hell knew he was out. whether you agree or not, is your opinion, just like this is mine.

That's awesome then, that he just cheated and the umpires were all totally okay with it. Rock. Maybe tomorrow he'll just randomly walk around the bases and score. That would be so cool!!!

AJ better get a ball to the fuckin dome. I hope Guillen and his dirty ass gets a bat accidentally tossed at his dome as well.

If the white sox wanna play dirty the angels can sure as hell play dirty as well.

ahaahahah I'm so funny. No wonder parents hate sitting next to me at games.

The catcher should always tag the runner in that situation, its basic fundamentals.

How about Joe Crede being called out in the 7th to end the inning when he was clearly safe? Bad umping all around but bitching about umps doesn't get anyone anywhere. Its amazing how many times teams lose because the "umps" lost it for them. I still remember our third game in rocket football in fourth grade when we should have won but the umps screwed us!:rolleyes:

I liked how the commentators were all "Well the catcher thought he had it," as if that means anything. OF COURSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT. By the same token, OF COURSE DUDE IS GOING TO RUN IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY DOING SO WILL BE A GOOD THING FOR HIM TO DO.

Gah. But hey. Bad umping only worth commenting on if it goes in favor of the dirty, horrible, cheating, corrupt White Sox, you know.

LOL GO SOX!

An important point, and I think it's the most interesting part of the situation. Of course it would happen to a guy like Pierzynski.

The ump blew that call, that's that. Unfortunately, it happens when you have human beings making those calls.

Actually, the fact that it was the White Sox had little to do with everyone talking about it. Similar calls in past playoffs have received just as much attention. There would be just as many columns criticizing the call if it went against the Angels.

I was only referring to the people on GC. WAH WAH SOX.

SHUT UP VALKYRIE! I HATE YOU!!!!!

and I hate Albert Pooh Holes!

Just watched on my local news that Angel Stadium is increasing security a lot especially by the third base side b/c that umpire Doug Eddings will be officiating tonight.

A guy who once talked shit from behind the plate to the guys who were in the car Mike Darr flipped (he died in the crash) . . . a guy who openly talks shit to guys about things like stillborn children, rumors of wives cheating with teammates, things like that.

Just saying, is all.

FANTASTIC!!! guess where i'm sitting tonight?!?!

He even has to have personal security escort him from his hotel to the stadium b/c of the danger the fans are to his safety. They keep talking about it on the local news.

Did the ball change directions?

This is a pretty good replay of it:

Now he just sounds like a superlative guy.

PIECE OF SHIT! Game 6 and game 7 unavailable!!!!!!!!! I HATE LIFE!

I HATE LIFE! I HAVE VALKYRIE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH


stupid Angels fans!

Saphire, were you able to get tickets!? If so, I HATE YOU TOO!

Pierzynskied!

Awww why do you hate me? I'm not an Angels fan.

honey, don't hate me cuz i'm beautiful! haha jk!

i have tickets to 3, 4 & 5 of this series...

haven't gotten any for the world series (even though they went on sale for the public this morning) yet. i'm hoping that my boss hands me some for all my hard work! haha

First I said I hate you. Then I said I have you.

Hi Dan Rather. I mean...Valkyrie.


anyways. I don't know what channel you watched BettyDavisEyes, but whatever the case I think they are full of shit.

Angels fans are the biggest pussies in the world. If anything they will probably ask kindly if AJ thought the ball hit the ground. When he obviously says no, they will say " ok fair enough. good luck with the game and godspeed".

NOW if this were DODGER STADIUM? Dude. You know fuckin Lil Joker, Pinky and all of the mexican mafia will be all up in this. All of echo park will start chants like OLAY! OLAY OLAY OLAAAAAAY! OLAyyyyyyyyy....OLAAAAAAAAY. Next thing you know, Dodger uniforms will start to turn into Chivas USA uniforms.

If the incident in Game 2 happened in Dodger Stadium? Dude, the incident was in the 9th inning. 85% of the Dodger fans in attendance would probably already be gone three innings ago.

BTW, one team's trash is another mans treasure, unless you LIKED Jim Tracy....

Either way, the one thing we agree on is the Giants suck and both tha Pads and Dodgers whooped that steroid ass.

It definitely changes directions - however, it seems pretty obvious that it hits the end of the glove (and not the ground) and changes direction before settling in the pocket of the mitt.

It was a bad call, but nothing that was absurd - it was just a mistake, we don't get the benefit of instant replay on the field.

Yeah, the guy may be one of the worst people in sports, period. I'm surprised someone hasn't pulled a "Juan Marichal/Johnny Roseboro incident" on him yet.

But, as was said, it was a bad call, and that's life. Nothing can be done except to keep playing.

wah wah sox!!

The sox starters have been money so far.:D

You got that right!! It's the first time in 20 years that opening pictchers have thrown back-to-back complete games in the ALCS, but who did it last, ironically the Angels.

Great game last night!! Sox lead the series 2-1...GO SOX!!

Stupid White Sox!

I hate you Thrillhouse! I hate you Kansas13!!!!!

Grrrrrrr :mad:


:p Good earned win by the White Sox for real though.

WAH WAH SOX OMG WHAT ARE YOU WHINERS GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOW HUH?!

Ba Humbug!

I hate you Valparaiso!

The umps again were way out of line in game four, a complete game by Garcia and a 3-0 lead after the first inning? Wah wah!

Damn Congrats to the White Sox.


After game 2, they whooped up on the Angels. They deserved it.

Blah White Sox. Halfway to my Nightmare Series...:eek:

The streets on the south side of Chicago were filled last night...between the Cubs and the White Sox we haven't had a pennent in 46 years and haven't won a world series in 88 years. I hope that changes too!! We are long overdue!!

GO WHITE SOX!!

Now who we play is the next question I would like to see answered. For now it looks like it could be Hoston, but who knows.

they had riot police at the game last night... lcome on, no matter how much arte wants it to be, it's not L.A!

I would have never thought that the sox would ever make it to the series in my lifetime but obviously, anything can happen!

This just cracks me up...:D

I've turned off the Houston/St. Louis game already - I don't want to see how it turns out if St. Louis doesn't win tonight...:(

Well, turn it back on, polarpi, because it was a come from behind win for the Cards.
I'm not pleased.....

Holy. Crap.

What a baseball game. Ladies and Gentlemen, THAT is what the playoffs are all about. Being one pitch away from elimination and hit the game-winning home run...

I'm sorry :(

I actually had poked my head into the other room where the game was on, and saw that the Cards were up by one (I missed the excitement of the actual hit!), so I had to walk away from the game again...I swear that I'm "bad luck" for teams when I'm watching :p
