I personally do not like the idea of replay. But if MLB does decide to use it, I think it should be for questionable HR calls only. Everything else would disrupt the game too much. Games take too long as it is. You can't look at every close call.
Why don't they consider using 6 umpires all season, like they do in the playoffs?

I'd use it every pitch, I think the goal should be 5 hour games and to see which hand Wedgie scrathes his face with.

Yeah, Mortimer think about what Scav said. As horrid as he has been this year, J-honey has double the home run total of Hafner and Martinez combined. Derrek Shelton has formed a well-oiled offensive machine here. Trot Nixon was Ruthian compared to this group.

I caught the 7th or 8th inning on the ratty-o last night......The rocket armed left fielder inning. Our announcer sounded just like Bob Uecker.





" And there's a solid single to left......runner from second trying to score...Dellucci's throw isn't even close....and the batter goes to second. Unbelievable.


Next batter also singles to left............and Dellucci isn't going to throw anybody out on this one."



It was pretty pathetic.

I feel bad for their starting pitchers. All quality for the most part and even in the 45 or whatever inning scoreless streak, they couldn't win every game. As soon as they give up their 2nd run, it's an automatic L for them. I mean, really, how much worse could their offense be playing Gutierrez and Francisco every single game in the outfield?? I guess Wedge thinks it's better to play an outfielder who can't hit, run, throw, or field...all 4 rather than one who can at least do 3 of them.

BANG-O!!!


Excellent work...really was.




Wedge is such a fool. In times like this with the drop dead starting pitching and pathetic hitting you must put out the best defense possible since no one is hitting.







But noooooOOOOOOO.








This is what I mean by Wedges ability to see what no one else can. You have a young player like FG who never had a problem with right hand pitching in the minors.....and platoon him with ....NIXON.






And you make a guy having trouble with right hand major league pitching. You will never know what you have in FG unless you keep playing him....like he does Hafner,Blake,Garko,et al. Did you know their opposite hand pitching batting averages are just as bad as FG's?








I give you my Here'sJhonny face:

AAAND................last year Dellucci was horrible...we already had found that out about Michaels. So Dellucci gets a boo-boo....we sign Lofton....Lofton becomes the everyday left fielder.


SSSSSSO....new year...we cut Lofton....we have Fransisco ready to go....the AAA batting champion......and so we start the season with him in the minors and the dynamic duo of Dellucci/Michaels in left field.
