Boomer rises to the challenge.

Just one of countless instances so far this game:

Pedro throws a 1 to 7 breaking ball that the batter takes for a strike on the inside third

Berman : Whoa, he really pulled the string on that one!

Me : What the fuck? Do you know a single thing about baseball?! Pulled the string??!! On a BREAKING BALL??!! That was TAKEN??!! How the fuck is this guy broadcasting on a national network is beyond me..

The ump behind the plate is doing a terrible job.

Why I'd rather see the Angels beat the Red Sox.

1. Scoscia is a good guy.

2. The new Angels owner deserves reward for freeing Angels fans from Disney.

3. I'm sick of hearing about how Red Sox and Yankees have a "rivalry," even though it's been far too one-sided to mean anything.

4. Did I mention I have a west coast bias as a response to the east coast bias of the press?

5. I'd like a Dodgers/Angels World Series.

Not really. ESPN's K-Zone is a bunch of crap. The zone it shows is way too small. MLB umps consistently call the plate a couple inches wide on either side. They also call a little bit lower than the K-Zone. The top of the ball at the bottom of the knee cap is a strike for some umps, but the K-Zone has the line at the bottom of the ball at the top of the knee cap. Seriously, pay absolutely no attention to that stupid white box.

It's almost as good a rivalry as the one between The Hammer and The Nail.

um, the umps pretty much blew a bunch of calls. They would call pitches barely outside balls on Boston and strikes on Anaheim, thats what I was referring to.

I saw Belhourn get walked on a borderline pitch, which according to your rules would be a strike, but that shouldn't matter because K-Zone showed it a freakin strike. Then you see Glaus get called out on a strike which according to you should be a strike, but was atleast 3 inches off the plate.
