15 minutes in and we have an umpiring issue!


There is no way Blanton is throwing at A-Rod but four umpires huddle and in their "defective" wisdom decide to warn both benches which then presumably puts Sabathia in the position of being ejected if he makes the same mistake!*

Can't major league baseball provoke them into quitting in mass like they did years ago?

How would you like to be a AAA umpire watching this at home?

*Did you see those Philly fans behind the plate clapping long after A-Rod got hit?

Oh, wait. The night is young. Someone might run in from third and not really touch the plate, yet be called safe. Stranger things could happen.

Beat me to it. I had to find a picture of a Ryan Howard card.

I bet Cabrera didn't even have to go back and touch the plate on his. If he just went to the dugout, they probably would have just given it to him.

Ryan Howard? That was a prediction only. I should play the lottery.

No, just kidding. I saw that coming a few days ago.

Just slip me the numbers on the daily drawing and I will shoot 20% back at you.
