That's exactly why he should reverse it, it doesn't change anything in regard to the outcome of the game, so why not the pitcher the recognition he earned.

Yeah, I don't buy Selig's argument that "it would set a bad precedent"
No it wouldn't. An unprecedented circumstance deserves an unprecedented decision. But whatever. Either way, he will be brought up every time a perfect game is thrown "and so and so has thrown the 21st perfect game in MLB history...although some would say 22nd" |

You know what's a bad precedent, Bud? Ending a game in a tie.
I've always wondered if Selig was oblivious to everyone else or if he just didn't give a shit what anyone else wanted, but it's become clear it's the latter. |

How many times now has Selig gone against what the players and fans wanted? And he's not doing it to help the sport either. He just does it because he wants to. Hate you, Selig.

WOOOOOO Mets designate Gary Matthews Jr for assignment
![]() For some reason they called up a 3rd catcher despite Barajas and Blanco being awesome this year, instead of calling up Jesus Feliciano who is hitting like .400 in AAA. Prolly just a temporary move. |

the Orioles are on pace to score the fewest runs ever in the modern 162 game era. They're only averaging 3.3 runs a game, and they've only scored 14 runs in their last 7 games (0 tonight so far down 8-0).

Today the section I sat in was 100% Reds fans. One of the most obnoxious fanbases I have encountered so far, which was not I expected from Cincinnati. Apparently the 10 rows of people in front of me were this fan group called the "Rosey Reds" which were just old people and girls who were way too obsessed with the team, like taking 20 pictures of every player they had. But it was the people behind me who were just loud and obnoxious, especially when Adam Dunn came to the plate, they were booing throughout the at-bat, then he got two hits and they shut up until he struck out which was like the second coming of Christ to them. You could probably hear them on TV. Anyway the fucking Nationals beat the Reds which was hilarious. Poor showing Reds fans

Another great Dodgers Braves game tonight. Injuries are slowly starting to catch up with the Braves, and not having Saito late in the game will probably cost us a few. Braves kept it close, and have our best starters for the rest of the series.
And Heyward with the Platinum Sombrero. Oh well. |

wow..yeah..
I dont think he's the answer as manager, but I have to wonder who would be dumb enough to want to take the job next year. Are there any former managers lurking around that are that desperate? I'm worried that the rumor that they want Rick Dempsey to be the manager, and just from his dumb comments on the Os broadcasts, I cant see him being any better than Trembley. Quote:

Still not talking to Peter Angelos.
so very little chance of him coming back to Baltimore as long as Angelos is still around. Here are some names being thrown around on various Os fan pages: Buck Showalter Tom Kelley Phil Garner Eric Wedge Bobby Valentine Aside from Showalter, none of those excite me and I doubt any of them would consider the job for longer than 2 minutes anyway..

WOOOOO. In a 24 hour span the Mets have DFA'ed Gary Matthews Jr along with placing Luis Castillo AND Oliver Perez on the DL. Probably the three guys every Met fan wanted off the team.

Ive never seen a ball hit within a few inches of the foul pole to the left and land directly behind the foul pole before, until tonight. Thankfully it was called a foul ball even after video review.

Mets seriously need to get some traveling shrinks to make them think they're playing at home when they're on the road.
Shrink: "You are at Citi Field." Mets: "We are at Citi Field." Shrink: "So you will win the game." Mets: "So we will win the game." Shrink: "You will give it 110%." Mets: "That's impossible. Nobody can give more than 100%. By definition 100% is the most that one can give." |

Despite the fact that he's playing in games, the team isn't expecting him back until after the All-Star Break.
![]() It's really not a big deal right now as Pagan has been amazing and Francoeur's on one of his hot streaks. Once he cools off again I'll be clamoring for Beltran. |

Os are losing 2-0, had the bases loaded on 3 walks by Lester and didnt score. Possibly game number 37 this season with 3 or fewer runs.
On their way to 15-41, which would be a worse record than the 62 mets through 56 games and they went on to go 40-120-1 which is the modern 162 game record for fewest wins. Last edited by Droford; 06-05-2010 at 10:20 PM. |
