It puts much less strain on the back, legs, and neck area than does the traditional, more upright scissors. I've heard this stance referred to as "the Tank" before by some pro school grads. I never thought that sounded so good, so I never adopted that description.

As for Wendelstedt's stance being "relaxed," I noticed that as well. For my part, a primary goal of a plate stance is to get my head in position to call the pitch. If the "relaxed" scissors raises my head (to eliminate neck strain), then it risks taking me out of position. Although I might be able to achieve some equilibrium point where my neck is not too strained and I'm not too out of position, this stance does not work for me. Others, naturally, will do as they see fit.

If I was getting the money they are, I'd be proudly set up in the slot, totally exposed and willing to take the shot. Besides, they are sitting behind professional catchers. These guys don't let the ball hit the umpire very often. Man, I'd be in the scissors and never flinch once if I had that luxury.

Fox lets Lyons go
Not sure if anyone was aware of the incident during Game 3. Here are the details.

People at Fox are "overly sensitive wusses?" Bill O'Rielly? Sean Hannity? The network of "fair and balanced" is overly sensitive. Oh, my. Imagine firing someone who has a history of publicly insulting Jews for observing their religious holidays. I mean what the heck, it's not like they're Christians. Wow. And he didn't know that kid was nearly blind. He just knew he was wearing really thick and strange glasses, so it was only natural to make fun of him. I mean, who wouldn't? And now he's canned over a remark questioning the honesty of Latinos? Makes no sense. C'mon, everybody knows that Latinos can take a ribbing about stealing wallets. And, not only all of this, but the poor schmuck get's fired before he got to his "A"material. Man. I'm tempted to write a very pointed letter to Fox. I still haven't heard his opinion of Black players or Italian players or Asian players yet. Say, reminds me, stop me if you've heard this one....two Jews, a mentally retarded kid, a pregnant Latino and the emperor of Japan are in a row boat...... In all seriousness, Steve, the rules are different when one is broadcasting on the public airwaves.

I didn't expect you to agree. Fox's regular programming is totally liberal-biased, while their news network is conservatively-biased. I'm sorry, I missed the memo on who it was that publicly insulted Jews. I am a very pro-Israel Christian, as the Bible commands us to be, so I don't know anyone that is a true "Christian" who would dare say anything like that. Perhaps a Skinhead, or other such radical group, but not any mainstream Christians that I know of.
I don't have to be politically correct. I don't see things that way. If Pinella opened it up by speaking Spanish (which I speak fluently, as I have a Spanish Minor from SDSU) on an English speaking broadcast, in a country where English is the official language (at least the voters said so), then he is inviting comments, no matter how stupid or insensitive, from his colleagues. They said that he butchered the Spanish language because of his conjugation of the word hablar, by saying "hablaing Espanol." Well, trust me, I live among many Mexican-Americans, and illegal aliens from Mexico, and they butcher both Spanish and English with regularity. Can't Latinos take a ribbing about stealing wallets? It seems like Paul Rodriguez and Carlos Mencia constantly make stereotypical remarks about their own race in their "jokes." Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Red Foxx all made careers about poking fun at their own, and every other race under the sun. Oh, it's not funny if a white guy says it? Bullshizle. You wouldn't be so cavalier about firing people if it was your butt on the line. You might think that leniency was in order, and just be given the chance to apologize on the air, and move on. I'm sure glad I don't work for you, or you would have to fire me every week. It's not just Fox, how about CBS? I was against the firing of Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder for his remarks about black athletes, which, while true, were deemed insensitive. I was against the firing of Ben Wright for his remarks about females' breasts and their relationship to the golf swing, which, while true, were deemed insensitive. I was against the firing of Gary McCord for his remarks about the greens at Augusta National being bikini waxed, while, while true, were deemed offensive to Hootie and the Blowhards at the Masters. It is my opinion that the only two taboos in speech should be: 1) yelling "fire" in a crowded building, and 2) threatening any act of terrorism. This is just my opinion, and not one bit of it was done with sarcasm.
