Yovani Gallardo should seriously be hitting 5th in the Brewers lineup today.

Carlos Gomez
Mark Kotsay
Yuniesky Betancourt
Wil Nieves

All are ahead of him.

Edinson Volquez is in playoff form.

Larry Vanover can go **** himself. We need replay in baseball.

I think it's fine where it is now. Big game-swinging plays like homers and a little more extended in the postseason is enough. For the most part, umpires are the best officials in all of professional sports.

Umpires are **** horrible, what are you watching?

And big game changing plays would qualify with what Vanover did. He missed a catch, called him safe which put runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs with the Reds down 3. What if the next hitter hits a homer? That ties the game even though the inning should've ended on the last batter. That's the very definition of a game changing play. Luckily it didn't happen, but I'm sure it will some game this year.

Curtis Granderson laughs at balls hit to center.

They re-upped my account without me even knowing. I checked my bank account and it had MLB.tv purchase for 118 or however much it costs.

Pujols grounding into three double plays, just brutal. Although he did almost hit one out, but it was caught. Then Holliday and Maybin showing their just raw strength with their homers.

Cardinals lost, Pujols probably had the worst game of his career. Cost me €15,that bastard

Umpires are doing the best that they can. They see the play live and they don't get 10 replays at home like you do. You would be no better. You honestly think NBA and NFL refs are better?

trwi7 · Post #14 » by **trwi7** » Fri Apr 1, 2011 4:54 am

Yes I think they are worse. And yes I know they don't get replay, neither do any other referees and yes I would be better since this was the most obvious call you could possibly have on a "close call."

I have the premium account of an MLB assistant GM (whos name I am witholding for obvious reasons.) It's pretty baller. I'm glad they are re-upping accounts without telling people. More free-baseball for me!

Another year, another mediocre Astros team. Sigh.
