2009 MLB season discussion*

[Cephius]

lol, people are editing the shit out of CB's wikipedia page. Right now its...

C. B. Bucknor (born August 23, 1962 in Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica) is an umpire in Major League Baseball He is the worst umpire ever and is blind as a bat

C. B. Bucknor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stay tuned!

EDIT: ROFL. Now the main page is back, with this at the end:

It is a little-known fact that Bucknor is the inventor of an umpire-specific, miniature "Magic 8 Ball" (e.g. "Signs point to safe") that he uses to call plays at first base. He possesses superhuman hand speed similar to quick-draw artists, enabling him to consult the ball and then conceal it again before making the call--without being picked up by most cameras.

EDIT2: And another blown call. Jesus Christ. Can't remember a game this bad in a long time. At least this one went in favor of the Red Sox (can't believe I said that)

[Kyo]

Man what a bad call, they got two runs anyway, but fuck man, what a horribly called game.

[Viq]

Welp, going to bed. Hopefully CB Buckner gets fired before tomorrow's game.

[fren.]

The Sox/Angels series has possibly the worst umpiring crew ever.

West and Bucknor, lolol.

[Ensam]

CB Buckner has been voted the worst umpire since they've started the polling a while ago, hasn't he?

Don't know how he still has a job

[Bozo]

Who is this and what is it from?

On an actual baseball note, did anyone else get worried when Antonio Bastardo was up? I know he had some pretty bad starts earlier but wow did he surprise me. Scott Eyre dominated as well. Also couldn't believe how terrified Huston Street seemed to be of Matt Stairs. The bullpen performance and 9th inning really shut those fucking crappy TBS announcers up of how amazing Street is and how bad the Phillies pen is(obviously we're all aware of how they struggled). I mean, when they apply for a job is the only interview/application question "Do you like the Phillies and are you willing to bash on them?". Far from neutral that's for sure.

[Trichocyst]

I thought the Phillies played alright. Hamels didn't play awful considering his wife was in labor and really he threw one shitty pitch. At the end of the game I was happy that they didn't roll over on Street even if they came up just short.

Games 3 and 4 will be an adventure.

Doh. I still have love for Holliday even though he's no longer a Rockie. That was a tough break for the Cards but it made for an awesome finish to that game. Loretta was a career 0 for 15 against Franklin and this was only his second career playoff appearance in 15 years and he comes through in the clutch.

The playoffs are all about Cinderella stories and we just experienced the first one this postseason last night.

P.S. Holliday still touched it

Too bad Merkle had the worst error ever, not Buckner.

Fred Merkle's was technically a base-running mistake and not a true error; plus it happened in the regular season, not the playoffs.

I know, I was just hoping to get someone to post the word "boner". Thanks for ruining it.

[Cephius]

And the shit umpiring begins again. Though, that was much closer than the ones for blind Buckner last night.

EDIT: What a play by Swisher to save Burnett a run. Amazing. I repeat: The White Sox didn't want this man.

[Kyo]

Horrible call, after horrible call.

[archibaldcrane]

Time for Clutchrod to save the day!

[Kyo]

Fuck yeah arod.

[pohibaba]

I love how A-Rod always folds in the clutch.

[Pringles]

I'd say Arod's stigma of not coming through with RISP in the post season is all but gone now.

[Ensam]

argg my stream went to absolute shit during the 9th. I basically completely missed A-Rod's HR. One of the few times I actually regret not paying for cable.

I'm torn cuz I want Yankees to win but A-Rod to own to shut people the fuck up. Commmmmmmon twins in the 10th

[Afrohatch]

What do you go to to get streams of the games?

[Ensam]

MLB + Baseball - MyP2P Forum <- for links

MyP2P.eu :: P2P TV Software Overview, free P2P TV <- for programs

Download TVANTS and StreamTorrent. Those basically the only two used. Once those are installed, just click a link and wait for it to load (Normally takes a couple minutes for the video to finish buffering after clicking the link initially).

Damn, I was all ready to post this:

Just as planned. Burnett pitches well with Molina catching as Posada QQs it up, then Posada comes in to "get his big bat in the lineup", his pitcher gives up the go ahead runs and he goes 0-2 and the Yankees lose.

This pleases me. Jorge's tears are both filling and nutritious.

Hopefully I'll just have to wait for another failed Posada at-bat to post it.
