Re: well... let\'s go Angels!!!
[ QUOTE ]
hating the red sox.. just doesn't make much sense. it's like hating the underdog. hating the guy who never wins. it just doesn't compute. [/ QUOTE ] That's like calling Paul Allen the underdog. The Red Sox win almost every year (4 losing seasons since 1967). They go to the playoffs a lot (3rd most in the AL since 1900)and they usually have the second highest payroll in baseball. Not exactly the underdog. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: well... let\'s go Angels!!!
I can't stand Berman, but I think I'll defend him here. I've heard the term "pulling the string" to describe a curveball a lot of times. I think it refers to the motion of the pitcher's hand when he releases the ball.

Re: well... let\'s go Angels!!!
The only player I dislike is Pedro, the rest do crack me up, but as a team I can't root for them, sorry.
My buddies and I constantly laugh at Damon. How can someone who throws that much like a girl, be in the majors???

Rarely does his arm afect the outcome of a game which wasn't the case with the Twinkies right fielder in the game last night. Why the hell was he throwing to the cut off man on a ball that shallow. They should have had a decent shot at nailing Jeter at the plate. But it's all good. Most of Red Sox nation want to face the Yankees anyway. Not necessarily that we think they will be easier to beat, I certainly don't. If the Sox finally win it all it will be kind of hollow if we don't have to go through New York to do it. So let the Twins and Yankees beat each other up for a grueling 5 game series while we hopefully take care of business tommorrow night.

[/ QUOTE ] The hit made Jones step back a few steps and reach up, because of this he didn't have his feet set to make a good throw home. If he could get his feet set, I think he nails Jeter because he was playing far shallower than usual. BTW, do you guys laugh whenever Damon runs too? I love watching him and Byrnes play because they both look like Cavemen out there. Good thing they both can play, but Damon still has the arm of a little girl.

Re: Why wasn\'t Percival pitching in the 9th?
Good question, I suppose they wanted to go to their go-to guy Donnelly [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You ever see Bernie Williams throw? Or Garret Anderson? Everybody's got some holes in their game. [/ QUOTE ] It's typical of all CF in this era to really not have good arms. I know there are some exceptions but mostly they are out there to run down fly balls and close the gap on doubles so that they don't turn into triples. Griffey never really had a great arm. Usually the LF and RF have the best arms so they can throw runners out at home on fly balls [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
