		<description><![CDATA[polegojim:

Yes, your comments are eccentric and excessively creepy, and you attack people like everyone else, for example: “@protius… Dude are YOU kidding? Do you really need an in-depth explanation of why the extra two runs… didn’t freaking matter? So… there was no pressure on Coke with 3 runs? Remind me… didn’t the Yanks score 4 the night before in the 9th??? Um… yep. U don’t think THAT added pressure to Detroit? Um… Yep again… thought so. Give it a rest. The Yankee’s will win one soon.” This was your response to a post that was not even addressed to you. Nice to meet you too, Captain Weirdo.
And how about this response: “@Stiller43.. Ok, I’ll play…And what about Valverde’s melt down that gave NY EVERY chance to be back in it and win? The Tigers maximized their opportunities and had the mental fortitude to overcome adversity.They Yankee’s DID NOT. They LOST. Pure and simple, no excuses.” You are down right cordial. No bias, here….noooo, none at all. No confrontation either, you are just the sweetest guy on the boards.
Here’s what I take you for, and how I think you are perceived by other’s: You’re unsophisticated, mundane, pretentious and gratuitously smug. 

Usually, when someone is self-righteous there’s a reason, but you have nothing going for you: You  know very little about baseball; your critical thinking skills are horrible; you can’t distinguish between humor and argument; and you pick and choose what arguments you respond to, which is bad form, and you insist on using this “pure and simple” nonsense, which comes across as timid and girlish. You get under people’s skin, not by the strength of your argument or your baseball commonsense, but rather, by the sissyness of your replies. 

Now you know what I think of you. 

Who you think you are is irrelevant. Who I am is also irrelevant, but I’ll tell you one thing, I don’t let anyone fight my battles for me, invited or uninvited. It’ll only prove your sissyness. Capisce?]]></description>

Re-read my comments. There are no arguments, weak or strong. It&#039;s sarcastic humor..........duh. Do you even know what an argument is? I don&#039;t think so....LMAO.

Get over yourself.


BTW: What is this &quot;pure and simple&quot; thing with you? 

Why should the readers believe that your point of view remains untainted by the  world around you, or that your comments are any more basic then any other reader? Who do you think you are?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He admitted the mistake AFTER the game.  Why can&#039;t he make the same admission DURING the game by asking the other umpires for a confirmation.  It might not have yielded anything (I doubt the other umps had a good view of it), but it would have helped him save his reputation by realizing he might have gotten it wrong.

I think the problem happened in the return to second base.  I know he&#039;s a professional and all, but I think he wasn&#039;t expecting Infante to return to the bag.  He was in a good position to see Infante contact the bag on his way to third, which was my reaction when watching the game, that the runner was going to third.  If you watch, as Infante stops and tries to return to second, the umpire is hustling to move to a better vantage point to make the (unexpected) second call at second base.  He&#039;s clearly out of position, and still moving when the play occurs, which makes it that much harder to make an accurate call.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take a look at brooksbaseball.net and get back to me on that strike zone thing.  (The link to the strikezone plot images is exceedingly long...just go to the site.)

What it shows is that Detroit pitchers feasted on a huge zone for Yankee lefty hitters, while Yankee pitchers got some low calls on Detroit&#039;s right-handed hitters.  

And, overall, Detroit pitchers came out a little ahead, but not ridiculously so. There were a few more strikes called out of the actual strike zone (not the &quot;typical&quot; zone) for Detroit pitchers than there were for Yankee pitchers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly...and the way the Yankees aren&#039;t hitting they deserve to be down 2-0 (actually they shouldn&#039;t even be here but the O&#039;s couldn&#039;t hit either). What if it&#039;s a deciding play at home in game 7 of a World Series (assume the Yankees aren&#039;t in it because they are so polarizing due to payroll) and a call that bad is made? It just makes no sense that MLB is avoiding the obvious.]]></description>

You&#039;re telling me... that a team that scored 0 runs in ANY event, would have won?  Actually NEVER seen that happen!

You&#039;re telling me that the Yankee&#039;s STOPPED TRYING because 3 freaking runs is just TOOOOOO MUCH for them... Wait, didn&#039;t they score 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 the night before? 

You&#039;re telling me that the Yankees are SOOOO tempermental, that that blow call completely put their heads in the toilets and out of the game???  You must have think that you have a bunch of weak minded bafoons on the NY gear.

You&#039;re telling me that the Tigers can BLOW a 4 run lead... and still play to win... but the Yankees can&#039;t???

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m always glad when the Yankees lose, but I can&#039;t agree to blame a crap call on the fielder tagging the runner in a way that made it a little harder to see. So, as glad as I am to see the Yanks trailing 2-0, it&#039;s yet another tainted result hurting the integrity of MLB that was easily avoidable with 21st century technology used wisely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s horses**t. A fielder doesn&#039;t &quot;decide&quot; where to tag a baserunner -- and it didn&#039;t matter. In real time it looked as bad as it did in slow motion. We at least deserve competence from umpires, that was as bad a call as you&#039;ll see -- Infante was literally crawling back to the bag and the ball was there long before Infante got there and the tag was made while he was a good two feet off the bag. Just look at the picture up top.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first thought in real time is the tag missed and Infante slid around it. Cano didn&#039;t do himself any favors by going wide and tagging Infante in the abdomen where the ump can&#039;t see the tag. Big break for my team, but Cano helped make it that way with his tag. Go for his arm or shoulder or even his back so the ump can see it.]]></description>
