I was at the game yesterday and Howard definitely looked like he had lost the ball.

so in the midst of watching a game in person after the ball was hit you didnt follow it but instead focused in on the batter and noticed that he lost where the ball was?

i call bullshtein

And thank god we have you around to play hall monitor.

I was standing directly in front of the left field wall, IGY. I watched the entire thing transpire from start to finish.

He stood there for a second and then started to move towards first base and when he started moving, he wasn't in home-run trot mode either.

The ball wasn't really that deep to begin with. Standard can o' corn to left-center.

Whatever, though.

I hope Howard hits a tape-measure job against that farging bitch in the regular season and walks around the bases backwards afterwards.

That would be amusing, but unfortunately is against the rules. Jimmy Piersall did it once in a game, and they added a rule to prevent such a "travesty to the games" from occurring again.

I'd like to see Howard smoke a line drive right off of Beckett's snatch.

MDS · March 27, 2006, 07:27:02 PM

it's probably whide enough to get stuck

PhillyPhreak54 · March 27, 2006, 07:45:03 PM

It is. And it gets blisters too.

Baseball players have long memories. Do the Phils have a pitcher with the stones to put one in AJ's ear when they meet in the reg season?

Baseball players cry themselves to sleep at night wishing that they played a real sport that doesn't require an imaginary reason to fight and get their roid rage out.

Right, and you'd undoubtedly sell your soul to the devil to be one of them.

If you're saying that I would gladly take the millions of dollars that they are paid to do their job, which by the way, requires next to no athletic ability other than brute strength and hand-eye coordination, then you are 100% correct. But I would make sure that every person who interviewed me knew for a fact that I didn't consider myself an athlete. And I would laugh my ass off at players who took themselves so seriously that they felt the need to get their monkey-fire-anger out by posturing and trying to fight other equally unathletic baseball players.
