I'll be watching a little later. I'm going to look at a Jaguar in a few minutes.

Game three starts in 20 minutes.

Giants have already scored 20 runs in the first two games!

But nosebleed/bleacher seats are only $500 each! Kinda makes $10 beers and $7 hot dogs look cheap.

(As a Giants fan however, I'm really hoping there isn't a game on Wednesday

)

Nice win tonight Giants, now get it done with The Freak tomorrow!

The whole umpire thing seems rather subjective. I mean balls are strikes and strikes are balls. I think the runner was safe. There's no reason to not have sensors in the base to aid the ump while he watches the glove. I've been told the ump watches the bag and listens for the ball hitting the glove.

With all that racket from the fans? It needs to be all visual. But not with the plate ump. A laser system would do that job. And if you don't think a horizontal laser field is plausible, certainly a vertical one from above would eliminate bad calls as to over the plate or not.

I saw a ball get called that was over the outside. So, what's the ump do? 2 pitches later he calls an outside ball a strike to "even up the count." What's a hitter to do with umps like that?

In my mind, bad calls affected last night's game.

what's with texas fans booing giants players, same thing with phillies fans.
I don't get booing the opposing team.

We just go to a few Giants games each year and never noticed booing until the phillies and texas games.

I guess you haven't followed sports in some time. Booing is the norm now. Probably started big time with NASCAR back in the hey days of Jeff Gordon. They booed him because he won so much. Now they just boo Kyle Bush who deserves it if people have to boo someone.

bivenator · 11-01-2010, 10:24 AM

Stevepaa, is that supposed to be in green? Would you expect cheering? It didn't seem to hurt the giants players feelings.

I expect it started with the resurgence of wrestling. Unfortunately, wrestling IS big around here...
