Post #180,683 by ChrisR 10/23/04 10:23:02 PM Reply	Love knuckle-ballers Used to go watch Charlie Hough all the time. But the games are always strange - either every batter is confused with lots of ground ball outs and double plays. Or lots of walks and no movement. Saw the stat that Wakefield was the first knucle ball starter in the world series in a long long while. Not to mention that he's fairly young as far as knuckle ballers go.
Post #180,691 by deSitter 10/23/04 10:56:05 PM Reply	Re: Love knuckle-ballers Q for Bob Ueucker: "How do you catch Phil Neikro's knuckle ball?" A: "I usually just wait until it stops rolling, run back and pick it up." Knuckle ball pitchers tend to last a long time, because they don't tear up their elbows and shoulders with curves and sliders. Hough, Neikro, etc. Wakefield is 38 but still young for a knuckler. -drl
Post #180,694 by Another Scott 10/23/04 11:00:29 PM Reply	My little league coach could throw knuckle balls. It was amazing to see that thing jump around. I have a lot of respect for hitters that can get the bat on them and get the ball in play. Cheers, Scott.

Post #180,705 by deSitter 10/23/04 11:46:41 PM Reply	9:9, the useless Ramirez steps up Two sick looking errors, after a boneheaded running play. He's too fat and lazy and concerned about his appearence to amount to dick. Hey Manny, pull up your pants legs and play the game, you fat sorry excuse for a ballplayer! He didn't have a single RBI in the Yanks series - I'd sit his sorry ass. These prima-donna outfielders have forgotton all the basics. Our own hot dog, Edmonds, couldn't throw out a runner from the mound. He does make up for it with some spectacular catches. Ramirez is just useless. -drl
Post #180,707 by Another Scott 10/23/04 11:49:52 PM Reply	It has been an ugly game on the Red Sox side. 4 errors? 3 straight walks from Wakefield? Sheesh. Manny does have his problems, but I don't think he could have made that catch from where he started. The wind is a big factor tonight too. Now there's no excuse for him not handling the ball properly on the previous play... The momentum has certainly shifted toward the Cardinals, but it's a good sign that the Sox didn't let them get ahead. Yet... Cheers, Scott.
Post #180,709 by Another Scott 10/24/04 12:02:20 AM Reply	Bellhorn puts the Sox back in the lead: 9:11 top of the 9th Nearly every game I watched during the season Bellhorn was almost worthless. He's really come on strong in the post-season. Now if Kevin Millar would do something useful. My wife would always talk about "Kevin Millar's Double Play House" during the season... Cheers, Scott.
Post #180,710 by Another Scott 10/24/04 12:11:49 AM Reply	Game 1 to the Sox: 9:11 Foulke rarely makes it look easy but he got the job done tonight. But what an ugly game! The Sox played so well against the Yankees. They, especially Manny, have to remember the fundamentals (like cleanly fielding the ball, like not throwing the ball when you're falling (Bronson), etc.). We'll take it though. :-) Cheers, Scott.

Tavaraz has now blown two postseason games by gopher balls. The Cardinals big guns were mostly silenced, and they still scored 9 runs! Get'em tomorrow! -drl
Post #180,742 by drewk 10/24/04 11:31:40 AM Reply	That's why Cleveland let him go Well, that and the huge salary demands. But the whole time he was here, every time he got on base people crossed their fingers he would make yet another stupid base-running error. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
