| Billy, you couldn't have seen the replays, (and there were many), of that play. If you did and still say that it was piddling, then you are dreaming. |

Also, what was Middlebrooks supposed to do--vaporize in order to get out of the way when he was making a legitimate play? The whole thing is piddling and picky and OCD and they should just let the game be played. I agree with all that mainly because GOOOO SOXXX!!!!!!
Your final stated reason, on the other hand, is acceptable internets reasoning. Also works in barrooms and when shooting at the tv. |

When I watch sports on TV, usually football, I watch games that have a team I root for or a team that I hate and root for the other team. Often there are penalties. Some times they call a penalty on the team I'm rooting for and it doesn't look like a penalty to me. Of course I say something like, "That's no penalty." (I'm talking to myself of course.) Often, I see the replays and some times it is a penalty, so I say, "Oh yeah, it is a penalty." And on the other side, I say, "Hey, that's a penalty!" I'm usually right about that. And on my side, I don't say, "That's a penalty." I say, "We got away with that one."  |

The old tube tvs were more fun to shoot at. Implosion, sparks, noise, and the picture vanished.
The runner does have a right to the base path. And would not deliberately trip himself. It's not that hard to be a good sport and accept a fair call. Unless you are to where you are shooting at the tv. |

Terrific stuff, Marc.
I can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard "Rock 'n Roll Animal". I never forgot the transition from "Intro" into the electric version of "Sweet Jane" (I'd never heard the acoustic original). It still gives me chills. |

Geez that turned out huge. Sorry. Anyone know how to shrink that down?
Cool pic, though. |

| Cool indeed. If the size doesn't force me to start using sideways arrows on my screen, then it's not too big. |

Gotta say that one of the greatest times I ever had at a ball game was in Cleveland. That was, I think, in 1985. |
