Back in the olden days, on stolen bases, the fielder might make a tag on a close play and then punch the glove into the air, as if to show the tag to the umpire.

 

Nowadays, with replay, if you are a fielder, you apply the tag and keep the glove down on the runner, hell or high water.

 

I like the old way better. Resist change, people! I beg you all!

White Sox rotation is Latos intolerant;     and another former Twin goes over to the Dark Side.

I really thought they'd make that move a lot sooner.  Like right after the LaRoche debacle.  Glad for Justin to get another ML shot.  Really, really sad that it's with.... that team which shall not be named.

Somehow, I don't think it's going to take that long...

 

Yeah,  we'll almost certainly know who holds the record,  so at that point it will just be what the record is.  

 

If he hasn't been DFA'd or traded for a box of infield dirt by then,  I'd want them to give the ball to Nolasco on the last day.   You want your strongest running the anchor leg of the relay.

Plouffe needs to get out of this slump somehow!

Plouffe needs to get the hell out of the 4-hole.  Especially with Men-Dozier "protecting" him.  So yeh, he got a homer recently, and so did Dozey, and good on them, but for both, it's been non-stop suck most of the time, in crucial spots in the order.

Sano's absence leaves a huuuuuuuge hole in the lineup.

I like the way you held back. Shows restraint.

I'm not about to go to a sports bar by myself in a strange town where no one knows my name.

But I'm back at my parents' now ... just in time to see Bux, Nunie and Grossman tie it up ... yay! :)

You know, in Chi, it's not like THEY think they have a rivalry with the Twinkies.  You could get so many sympathy beers just by wearing your cap into one.

I'm shocked.

Aggies, I'm calling you out-  you seem to be a Wiz with the stat stuff--  so, here we go again, and I'm counting on you:

 

I KNOW, I just KNOW there's gotta be a stat for runs given up after tying or taking a lead.  Land O' Goshen, this club just can't seem to get a zero after that happens, again and again and again and again and........

Sorry I'm late to the thread.  I was returning to Tucson on a business trip.

 

Which reminds me of a story...I know, I know, you're all shocked.

 

Anywhoo...it was one of those Southwest flights where they just let you pick your own seat when you get on.  I was like the last one on, and wouldn't you know, the only seat left was next to these two smart alec young whippersnappers who were sort of making fun of my age, in a tone and volumn that were designed to make sure I could just overhear enough to get the idea.

 

I thought I'd try to make nice and offered to go get the first guy a coke.  He said "Sure thing, old timer! And make it snappy."  I had taken my shoes off to be comfortable, and didn't even wait to put them back on.  I just got up, thought "I'll be the better man," and whent to get his drink. 

 

Came back, and the other punk says, "Hey...where's MY coke?"  So I grit my teeth, go off, and return with his drink.

 

As we were landing, I put my shoes on, and...dangit...those two punks SPIT in my shoes when I went to get them a drink!

 

Well, I could hold my tongue no longer.  "Y'know," I said, "At my age I've just about lost patience for these kinds of juvenile pranks. Ridiculous.   Spitting in an old man's shoes.  Peeing in someone's coke!"
