WS Line Umpires
 

Anyone else feel the umpires in Philadelphia are too close to the infield?

It would be to their benefit to be a little deeper should they have an issue along the fence/wall.

You feeling ok mike?

Has the impending marxilamist doom finally sent you off the deep end?

If line umpires positioned themselves a little deeper, Richie Garcia might still be working :D

counseling is good.
Meds are quicker and better.

We need about a 4-8 year supply i'm thinkin...

Nah, just ammo. Buy it now before it's outlawed.

Sorry, I cant reply. In CA they banned even the discussion of ammo.

That is as long as you remember ....

You know, I was going to type something smarta$$ and sarcastic....no, really, I was :rolleyes:....but then I imagined homeland security coming through my doors and windows.

What? The Alamo? Damn, Mike, you're showing your age! ;)

Hey, I shoot paper, not people. :)

And all my firearms are 100% legal. That's the only way I roll.

And there are guns that aren't legal in NC? :rolleyes:

One year from now, people in NC will be paying $400 to register slingshots...the last weapon allowed, as long as you don't use REAL rocks. Pine cones are ok.

I don't think a pine cone is going to kill a squirrel. Those poor people will starve to death.

I don't know about that. The pine cones I saw when I was down in NC last summer were some pretty darn mean looking pine cones! Nothing at all like the soft, safe, pacifist pine cones we have up here in Ohio.

Really! I went to pick up one of those suckers and it was as hard as a rock and covered with sharp spikes. You could barely hold one without cutting your fingers. I'd never seen anything like it and it kind of freaked me out.

In my judgment...a North Carolina pine cone probably could kill a squirrel!

I think they know what they're doing ....

Why? They have instant replay for that! :rolleyes:

I do think it is cute that the acerbic, sarcastic, and ridiculing anti-fan of MLB is watching the WS now that Philly is in it! Musta still been an edge left on the bandwagon for you to grab! :D

Sadly, yes. ;)

Just kidding. Actually, we're pretty much consistent with the rest of the nation with what's legal. NY, NJ, CA and MA are just... just... silly.

That's right, they're hardy! And this is what we do to them cones...

YouTube - M1 Garands go "ping!"

Only way to kill 'em.

Funny. I just thought you painted them and decorated them and made little Christmas trees out of them.

Where's the fun in that? :D

No, I just watch while the commercials are running on whatever channel an entertaining program is showing. And, BTW, it would be the same no matter which teams were playing. I just watch for discussion fodder.

Back when I was still a fan, I was at Game Six of the 1980 World Series when Philadelphia established another first in baseball when they announced that "police dogs and horses are "in play".

BTW, I believe the replay can only determine, fair, foul or whether the ball cleared the fence/wall for a HR. I don't think it can be used to determine interference which is where Garcia screwed up TWICE on the same play.

What you are talking about? Do you know how many people are killed each year as a result of bayonet lugs? ;)

Thank goodness I delayed taking a swig of my lemonade. I'd have ruined a gorgeous 23" LCD monitor!

Hmm... a lot of that going around today. ;)
