bjorn_skurj Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Beltran on lost HR: Replay it again! By ADAM RUBINDAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Thursday, April 3rd 2008, 4:00 AM MIAMI - Carlos Beltran already wanted instant replay in baseball. Now, he's adamant. Beltran was deprived of an apparent fifth-inning homer when the original call was overruled, seemingly in error. The outfield wall is topped by a yellow line and a railing. The line is in play, but hitting the rail is supposed to be a home run. The ball appeared to hit the railing and bounce straight up. "Even tennis they have the challenge thing," said Beltran, who instead was credited with his franchise-record-tying third double of the game. Beltran suggests giving each team one challenge per game. GMs voted, 25-5, at their November meetings to recommend exploring the instant-replay topic with respect to home run calls. Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I like 'em too, the pullover-aspect just doesn't work for me... but obviously, with the Blue Jay image in the middle of the shirt, it has to be that way. I'm just glad they stayed with belts instead of going for the very-softbally Elastic Waistband. Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 i just caught the tail end of the Oriole's game and it just about broke my heart to see that stadium so coddamn empty. Honestly, incredible seats--all empty! if that stadium had 1/4 of capacity i'll eat my coddamn hat. Just depressing. Makes a body want to root for them just to show up the locals.

Sir Stewart Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I walked by John Henry (Red Sox principal owner) last night on my to the North End with my wife. While there's something to be said for leaving people alone, which I usually do when I recognize familiar faces, I sorta wish I butted in and said "Thanks Mr. Henry!" or something. He was looking at his phone and saying to his two companions "Maybe I should've signed it, from The Boss!" Texting Hank S? Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 i thought japan trip too, but honestly JD Drew has hit two home runs in this series. How do you explain that away? Well, JD Drew is more animal than man, so.... But there were some gripes in the papers recently from players about the effect of the trip (that also included going from Japan back to OAK for pre-season games and then straight to TOR- 19 days on the road). I think it's a weak excuse but certainly may be a contributor to how shitty they played in TOR. Maybe even more mental than physical at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
