Hey Oedi and Kitchey!! The Cubs pitcher just balked in a Mariners'

[SeattleGirl]

run!! Not the winning run; it's only the 2nd inning, but seeing that after the baseball thread the other night, I thought of you two.

:woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

1. But it is not a Walk-Off Balk!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Yeah, I know. And it wasn't a Walk walk-off balk either!

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Was it a proper balk?

Or just one of those that only one ump and Dog could see?

[SeattleGirl]

5. No, it was a very obvious one.

Kenji was on 3rd base at the time, and both he and the 3rd base coach reacted immediately to it, and the ump called it.

9. Just once, I'd love to see a pitcher balk his ass off

Come set, then jump up and down a few times, spin around a few times, make silly faces at the runners and finally launch the ball straight up into the air.

Then drop his pants and run off the field laughing like Daffy Duck.

:D

11. and then the men in the white coats escort him off the field

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Bwahahahaha!

That would be a sight to see!

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. Did Balkin' Bob Davidson make the call?

He almost single handedly ran Armando Benitez out of San Francisco

I say almost because Armando played a little role in it too :P

[SeattleGirl]

6. Hehe.

No, it wasn't Balkin Bob.

7. Umpires:

HP: Marty Foster. 1B: Paul Schrieber. 2B: Tim McClelland. 3B: Fieldin Culbreth.



Glad you're here. Saves me the trouble of a call-out thread to tell you John Maine has the goofiest mug shot in the history of baseball.



:P

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. I don't care how goofy he looks...as long as he throws strikes tonight

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Meh

You want him. :P

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. no, I want him...

:loveya: :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Ah, yeah

I shoulda figured that out from your previous posts.



Funny — I woulda figured you for the Shawn Green type.





Not that he looks like Lukas Haas or anything. :D

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. He looks silly without his hair now

Plus David is only a few months older than me


oh and :banghead: I think you know why :mad:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Notice what a gentleman I'm being?

O8)

[Reverend_Smitty]

17. lol...duly noted

[SeattleGirl]

18. Don't let his halo fool you, Rev.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Hey!

I yam a gennulmun. :(









...when it's to my advantage.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Although...

as soon as Kemp hit his, I thought of a line from "Ball Four":

"There's another one of those goddamn strikes."

:D
