METS PLAYOFFS THREAD

Not surprising.   It basically guarantees he plays only 2 more games in the postseason.   


Let's go Mets and just beat those fuckers in Game 3 and Game 4. 



Wait! Hawk is a Dodgers fan? 

MLB is trying to have the hearing prior to the game tomorrow. MLB doesn't want anything to do with him being on the field in NY.

Would you be ok with that?

Walk Utley and have an infielder peg him on the basepaths, preferably on the way to 2nd.

That was preferred retribution before the TV era. Ty Cobb probably dealt with it weekly.   

Okay, bad comparison, I admit. But the point I was trying to make is you're blaming Tejada for getting hurt by basically getting into position to throw the ball like any baseball player would. That annoys me a lot.



Did you see the rule I posted earlier on in this thread? The Hampur is not the place of choice where I go hang out and discuss baseball, Hawk. Where I go, there are many who have more knowledge of the game and it's from them that I channel my outrage at this farce. They said it was and should of been interference PLUS the Umps weren't enforcing the actual rules in baseball anyway(that's what they said, too).

Here's some more rules(that aren't being followed apparently) :

5.09 Making an Out

(a) (6.05) Retiring the Batter

A batter is out when: […]

A preceding runner shall, in the umpire’s judgment, intentionally interfere with a fielder who is attempting to catch a thrown ball or to throw a ball in an attempt to complete any play

Rule 5.09(a)(13) Comment (Rule 6.05(m) Comment): The objective of this rule is to penalize the offensive team for deliberate, unwarranted, unsportsmanlike action by the runner in leaving the baseline for the obvious purpose of crashing the pivot man on a double play, rather than trying to reach base. Obviously this is an umpire’s judgment play.

>>>> The above is from the MLB's own rulebook.

(oh and there's no "batted ball" wording for you to counter with this time, Hawk.   This makes it 100% obvious that Utley interfered with Tejada, Period.)



I'm breathing just fine, thank you.



Not in any exact words but you blaming Tejada for turning his back to him when he was attempting to make a throw does make it sound like you're blaming him more than Utley.



Well of course. No one goes with a dirty slide into someone else(over a foot away from the bag without even attempting to touch it) is trying to hurt anyone. Did I mention that Utley pulled the same shit on Tejada in 2010 also? He's a piece of shit dirty player and deserves zero excuses.

Utley's "hard" slides have injured at least 4 players (Tejada, Stephen Drew, Jesus Flores, Dioner Navarro).

Three ended up on stretcher or in the hospital.

That fucktard KNOWS what he's doing, knows that it's illegal, and also knows that the MLB Umps won't do shit because they don't have the guts to enforce rules the MLB created to prevent shit like this from happening.



I understand plenty. I'm not a baseball guru but I'd like to think I'm well-versed on what is BULLSHIT and what isn't. And trust me...even a Non-baseball fan knows what happened was BULLSHIT. Hell, even TBS Broadcaster Ernie "I only know NBA BASKETBALL" Johnson knew it was Bullshit.



and in closing? What is this...a fucking letter?

What's "laughable" is the entire MLB and it's Umps ignoring the rules they created to prevent these types of things from occurring. It's a sad state of affairs when fans(like you) tell me that players should expect slides "a hell of a lot further from the base" like that. I would say that the rules need to be tweaked to force players to have to begin their slide at least 3 feet before the bag before trying anything else but as I said before, the Umps aren't enforcing the rules they already have in place so... *sigh* The whole situation is pathetic.

And Offense can't use their hands............in PAL.

I wish the NY fan brought this attitude to Jets games, ass backwards.
