Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1

Not one batter even touched the ball in that inning. They were swinging when the ball was hitting the mitt.

Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1

I know that was the Astros --- but that was not fair to any hitter

Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1

If you catch Chapman trying for his fourth save in four days, then maybe you have a shot.

Actually, I have seen Billy Wagner do that a time or two. It was ridiculous.

I was making a little joke. See when Giamatti busted Pete after he became commissioner he said he was "restoring Integrity" to the game, and a bunch of morons cheered him for that. Then when he smoked himself to death these same folks were ready to put him in the HOf. So when someone mentioned 1988 when Giamatti was NL president I said ..... ah forget it, you had to be there.
