I can't believe you guys missed this...

Post by SuperHornet »

I just saw on Yahoo today that the second coming of Rickey has hit the major leagues. In the form of a guy who almost NEVER gets greedy.

Dude stole second, third, AND home in the same inning yesterday. I absolutely LOVED hearing about that. I'm sick and tired of getting a guy on and just waiting for the jack that never comes. Give me steals, double steals, and hit-and-runs all day long.

Congrats! Now let's do that all the time.

The day that Bochyism dies is a day baseball fans everywhere can rejoice. Bochyball is the most boring form of baseball around.

Yes. We Phillies fans try and keep all of our Phillies talk on one thread. I'm sure nobody wants to see a bunch of Philadelphia threads.

A run is a run, there are no style points. Werth spotted something between the LA pitcher and catcher and exploited it - impressive in it's own right.

I don't follow baseball that much.
what's the difference?


(if it wasn't a straight steal, does that make it a gay steal? did he have inappropriate contact with the catcher afterward or something?)

He's just jealous it wasn't a Red Sox player.

If it had been he would have started a separate thread...for each stolen base. :lol:
