    the way ryan howard hits home runs makes me smile...He literally swings fully then waits a second then drops the bat and takes 3 steps before rounding around the bases. Awesome

    when Rollins misplayed that, I figured Crawford would beat it. Of course, I didn't realize he would stop running a few steps out of the box.

    Nice job potentially costing your team the game.

    that was ball 4. That's the kind of call you only get on 3-0, and instead of first and second with one out, it's an inning-ending double play.

    How many bad calls in one series?


    Anyway, Pena and Longoria were 0/31 before Pena got what would've been a triple had he not been imitating Manny Ramirez and then Longoria hits one past Rollins and all the way into the gap in left center,

    I guess this series wasn't unappealing enough to the general public, now they're going to be playing it in a monsoon.

    bad calls in this series have predominantly favored the home teams...

    warm weather team in cold weather tonight and the last two games...

    Werth fouled off a ball that got wedged in an interesting place behind the plate. Buck and McCarver ignored it.

    This is what they mean by "raining on [Philadelphia's] parade."


    Kazmir should be done now and the Tampa Bay bullpen has been worked hard.

    Rays are in big trouble. They fail to capitalize on the wind playing tricks with a popup and Hamels has a lot more left than Kazmir.

    home plate ump heavily favoring the home team. Strike zone is much smaller for the Rays pitchers.

    Kazmir struck out Burrell twice with fastballs at the knees. Of course with this awful home plate ump, it ends up being a walk to knock Kazmir out of the game.

    Joe Morgan just said on the radio that a friend of his who was watching at home called him and told him they were strikes. Jon Miller also stated e thought they were strikes....

    I'm just curious how long they are going to allow this to continue.....

    Yep. I don't even know why I'm watching this, It's obviously rigged as fuck. Looks like the MLB took a page out of the NBA's playbook. Why the fuck do such important series have to be rigged honestly. IE. Heat robbing the Mavs in 06. Celtics robbing LA in 08. It's total BS
