How many times can you hit the ball hard right at someone.

We are losing because CC could not pitch one inning. If the umpires really were that critical we would not have won as much as we have. We just remember all the bad calls that go against us. I don't recall anyone saying they are losing because of the umpires. Exactly. We would be losing this game in any event. I don't put that on umpiring. But it sure looks like -- and O'Neill and Cone raised this point as former players -- that the umps are making their point to the Yankees about the complaints. |

As someone who pretty much says you had no athletic ability whatsoever, it’s understandable that you don’t realize that incorrect calls during an at bat have implications in the way a hitter approaches the remainder of the at bat, as well as those of your team mates. What’s not understandable is that you comment on the circumstances authoritatively... Did you ever play baseball at all?... Please explain how that has anything to do with CC giving up 4 runs. Did you ever take a logic class? If not don't make arguments. A stupid statement on my part, but exactly the same logic you just applied. Whether I played baseball or not has nothing to do with my ability to make logical deductions. We are losing today because of pitching not hitting. So the umpires calls or how that influences the hitters is non sequitur. If CC had pitched well we would not be losing. Regardless of the umpires. |

Anyway, back to the game. Clevinger really does have great stuff. Even if he looks like Alice Cooper.

This reminds me of the old SNL count-counter-point arguments. “Jane, you ignorant slut”... Anyway, as Chi said no one (except you) has said the Yankees are “losing because of the umpires”. That has been your perception of the complaints about the quality of the umpiring. We don’t like it. Intended or not there have been some very bad calls and a large percentage of them have not been beneficial to the Yankees. A couple of them have been beneficial. The early bad calls vs. CC forced him throw certain pitches that he may not have thrown in the location he did. Yankee at bats were also changed by certain calls. It’s 6-0. Had those calls not occurred, maybe it would still be so. Maybe it would be 5-3. We’ll never know. The point is that our guys a savages in that box. Savages. And it’s up to you as a fan to helps us tighten that shit up!... |

That's the spirit, Inger. It seems to me that any Yankee fan with an ounce of passion for the team has to be irked by the confrontational attitude of some of these lousy umps. Anytime it's ump versus Yankees or anybody versus Yankees, we back our boys. Every effing time.
