Be careful with smart-a$$ery: it does not serve us well. The comment I make when I get "the hands are part of the bat" is: only in cricket, coach.

In cricket, the hands are considered part of the bat.

No way, RichMSN! Hawkeye shows the ball was clearly missing off-stump.



Edited to say: Unless you've seen cricket on TV, you'll have no idea what that meant. Trust me, though: it was funny.

What is the difference in your response of only in cricket, coach.

vs. the posters response of


I asked him when he bought the bat did the batters hand come with it.

Both are smart a$$ answers. When someone asks a smarta$$ question they deserve a smarta$$ answer.

Months ago Garth (btw I hope your are doing well Garth - if you still "peak" in from time to time" ) gave us a link to a conversation between Haller and Earl Weaver. Talk about smarta$$ comments.

Earl: You see in 5 years who's in the hall of fame
Haller: You're going to the hall of fame? For f****** up World Series?
Earl: I've won more than I lost.
Haller: Oh no you haven't....
Earl: Games! count Games!

Classic argument.

As unprofessional as it may be these days, I love that video, especially when Haller goes "BOOM!" as he ejects Weaver.
