**** ALDS GAME 4 Tribe/Yanks (Byrd vs. Wang)****

[disjunction]

next inning we need to go back to basics and put in a pinch-bunter.

If you reviewed every close play in baseball, games would drag on even longer than they do.

They would probably overrule 1 non ball/strike call every 3 or 4 games. Baseball umpires do an excellent job.

plays at first are pretty clear cut on replay and wouldn't take too long...restricting replay to safe/out calls wouldn't take too long

yankees fans,

this is incredibly standard stuff from byrd.

Agreed. Although, I am very surprised to see it against the Yankees. Paul Byrd is a quality 3rd starter as he is a gamer and knows how to get people out, but his strength lies in being able to beat the teams that he is supposed to beat. Sick gritty performance.

Also, I am so sick of hearing how lucky or whatever the Tribe is. This is with the possible exception of Boston the best pitching staff in the bigs, furthermore they are a very gritty team who never quits (which was shown in game 2.)

Out of curiousity, is this the best 1-2 punch since the 02 D-Backs? Where does it line up to them? Obviously, RJ and Shilling have much more effective track records, but CC already has 100 wins at the ripe age of 27 and is just now at the prime of his career, and Fausto has the nastiest stuff since Pedro's glory days.

If they in fact close this series tonight, I think we are headed for a classic ALCS.

I don't think he was saying it as a compliment?

Sick level...I hope.

saying paul byrd is an ok 3rd pitcher isnt leveling. the rest of that is just silly clutch type talk.

[Kos13]

Gah, please pull Byrd ASAP.

He is, but calling him a gamer and implying a clutch ability is incorrect.

Speak of the devil...HR.

It would take ~5 minutes just for the umpire to walk into/out of the clubhouse.

watch out!
