Castro (a catcher) stood at home plate after swinging at strike three while LoDuca (heads up) ran after the ball and tagged him out. We had two on and were one run down a half-inning after Shingo Takatsu made his fetid debut. When ESPN said, hey, look, we have precedent, I swear I thought we'd see that, not what Pierzynski did or didn't do as a Giant.<BR/><BR/>But that tunnelvision is why I'm a Mets fan.<BR/><BR/>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1129233787497870842005-10-13T16:03:00.000-04:002005-10-13T16:03:00.000-04:00anonymous,You can find support for your train of t...anonymous,<BR/><BR/>You can find support for your train of thought here, in an article about Yankee reaction to Buck Showalter pulling three of his starters in the third inning of the Rangers' Game 162 against the Angels:<BR/><BR/>http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/<BR/>story?id=2179632<BR/><BR/>But even there, A-Rod's the one making the brash statement, Torre's comment is tactfully ambiguous, and Brian Cashman had this to say:<BR/><BR/>"If we had won one more game, we wouldn't have to be worried about what anybody else did."<BR/><BR/>That's pretty noble, if you ask me. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1129230012365145922005-10-13T15:00:00.000-04:002005-10-13T15:00:00.000-04:00qmCan you imagine if this call had gone against th...qmCan you imagine if this call had gone against the Stinkees? The squealing, howling, keening and gnashing of teeth would have been deafening. St. Joe would have appeared at the postgame press conference and whined about being robbed, much like he did last year with Pay Rod's sissy-slap at first base.<BR/>Scioscia and the Angels took the ultimate high road and accepted the call and result. In fact, they went so far to say that they did not play well enough to deserve the win. When was the last time you heard the Yankees say anything so noble?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
