foo
not one word of what I stated was wrong
except maybe to those who have some perverse need to always be proving
others wrong.

and the Jays' runs in the 8th were legitimate?? C'mon, be fair. It was a
bad day, and the weather was a factor both ways. If Ordonez doesn't dive
for a ball he should have stayed back on, it's not even close


Doc
Remember the controversial play during
the ws a couple of years ago when the
ump clearly signaled the out sign,but
Persinsky I think it was ran to first and was given the base,turning the
whole
series around.

it was ALCS and it's Pierzynski
and you have the audacity to critize anything anyone else posts?!?!

You got me there,it was the alcs
as far as my spelling of the players
name.well excuse me I did know
it was a spelling contest ok.

The point I was trying to make was
the dynamics of what can and does
happen in the in the afore mentioned
case,by MH.

As far as spelling mistakes you could
write a book on yours,as in the above
example FAIR is where clowns hang
out the word is FARE.
And you even got the word critize
wrong bk it is criticize just for the
record.

I was not trying to be derogatory to you
this season,but it appears you want
to start the same old flame wars.so
again you proved me wrong I
digress.

regards

doc

Neither a passed ball nor a wild pitch is charged as an error. However, runs
scored as the result of a passed ball (in the judgment of the official
scorer) are unearned.

It is if the catcher catches the ball on the fly.
