Back on topic, I seriously cannot wait for tonight. We all waited for this moment when spring training started. And tonight is the real world series anyway, kinda like when the NFC championship game was better than the superbowl.
^^ Translation: I was such a geek in high school that all the baseball jocks yanked a wedgie so far up my crack it was chaffed for weeks, and my mama even asked how they got the elastic band to wrap around my neck. I told her I didn't know, but it probably helped them pity me more so they let me out of the trunk after only an hour. Luckily it was in time for me to catch the newest episode of Star Trek!Originally posted by: TheShiz

Also, where did I say full rotation? It was common that many teams in V had a flamethrowing starter. Names from our arch rivals like Dan Synder (Holy Cross) and Ron Walker (Shawnee) had no problem throwing in the upper 80's. Hell, Shoenweiss (who now plays for Anaheim) threw smoke, he graduated a couple years before I was a freshman at Lenape. He was big news not only because he was a superstar but because he had testicular cancer, and luckily came out ok. We also had a starter who threw 85 (BJ Benick), along with the soph closer that I shared duties with for V (I threw an 80mph screwball, it would break in on the hands of righties). Also had another southpaw who, while barely throwing 80, had a curve so good he was signed by one of the Marlins minor league team. He got a new mustang and 350K which is a pretty big deal to a young guy in high school, last I heard he didn't make it though.Originally posted by: KMDupont64

No sht Sherlock, and ARod cannot do anything outside of running. Which includes hitting another player's glove in a "malicious and unsportsmanlike" manner. Just run to first, accept the tag like a man, be happy that you moved the runner to scoring position, and shut your mouth. It's what a real man like Matsui would have done, not hurt his team by not only accepting the out, but stranding the runner on first and making a fool of yourself on national TV.Originally posted by: KMDupont64

It was Arroyo's right to be in the vicinity of the baseline since he was making the tag. Mientkavicz was in ARod's way and it would have been legal to bowl him over.
Anyone in the baseline is free game, regardless if they had the right to be there or not.
why so angry.
All I said is if he wanted to hurt anyone, he could have ran right through them.
Oh by the way, I hit .750 when I played softball in my work's league so that proves I know what I am talking about.
His move was borderline malicious, and whether he meant to hurt anyone or not doesn't really matter in this case, he could have dislocated/sprained/fractured one of Arroyo's fingers by knocking off his glove. Do you think the drunk driver who killed someone wanted to do it either? He just wanted to make it home and go to bed.
So pitchers threw 85/90 in your softball league with 3 ft curves? Wow, that's impressive, sure beats playing Varsity high school and tournament baseball.
did I mention it was Coed? didn't know if that gives more proof that I am baseball smrt.
85/90 in JV is an outrageous claim. The Toms River schools didn't have a full rotation of 85/90 starters on V.
someone please explain to me what in the holy hell does this have to do with the ALCS? I think this needs to be refiled into the "i was special back in middle school but now I have no life" board.

ARod should be suspended and fined for Game 7 for his "malicious and unsportsmanlike" (right out of the rulebook read on Baseball Tonight) swing at Bronson Arroyo's arm.
Have you considered decaf?
I'm sure he's all broken up about it too. Seriously man, you're going to give yourself a stroke.

Selig doesn't have balls when it comes to NY. I agree, ARod should be fined in the least for trying to cheat, it's no different than a corked bat or sandpaper fine.Originally posted by: CrazyApe
If Major League Baseball has any balls whatsoever and wants to keep their credibility, they will fine A-Rod $25,000. If anybody remembers last year's playoff game between the Cubs and Braves, Robert Fick did the exact same thing to Eric Karros. He was called out (just like the rulebook says) and fined $25,000.

If all Cabrera did was slide hard into Cairo, then you shouldn't cry about that. It's totally legal.

When was the last time ARod ever closed out a game with a one run lead in the last inning? Or batted .522 with a 100% stolen base ratio? Or best of all, play the game for fun and not worry about cheating to win, and playing the game the way it was meant to be played?Originally posted by: raildogg

Another reason.
Time to step it up Mr. Captain.
At least he's making contact and drawing walks.
