I realized it wasn't only Red Sox fans that hated the MFY. They have never overcome their punk cheating attitude and attract those type of players.

Has to be at least 400 times...Sir Jahmezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717635751687369364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-18375980553077354652007-10-06T18:08:00.000-07:002007-10-06T18:08:00.000-07:00"the admiral = nyy fans used to call brad halsey"K..."the admiral = nyy fans used to call brad halsey"<BR/><BR/>Kinda like Slugo, Don Slaught, ha.<BR/><BR/>"Do you think that the Danny Finik play will go down in history, quite like the Jeffery Maier play?"<BR/><BR/>Jeffery Maier reached over the fence, a play the umpires should've have recognized and disallowed the home run. Our kid (assuming that camera well is fair game, no one has answered my question above) did exactly what home fans should do, make sure the visiting fielder doesn't reach into the stands to catch a ball. Note: Even if the camera well is not fair game, it was still borderline, and there was no argument. And it didn't directly put runs on the board, as with Maier, aka Still Dead to Me Jones.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-36095831774325659732007-10-06T18:05:00.000-07:002007-10-06T18:05:00.000-07:00From Schillings press conference today in Anaheim ...From Schillings press conference today in Anaheim when he was asked about common denominators in '93, '01 and '04.<BR/><BR/><I>...Great example is you look at what Alex has done this year in New York.

But what about when there's, say, a tarp in front of them, or in this case, an entire extra row of seats for camerapeople? I have to figure anything beyond the point the players can get to (with their feet) is fair game for the fans. What's the rule on that? <A HREF="http://letsgosox.blogspot.com/2007/08/sheeeeet.html" REL="nofollow">Here's</A> the post I did, complete with professional-looking diagram. (just think of the "tarp" in the diagram as the extra row of camera seats.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Despite a team-wide hitting slump, much of the blame will fall on Slappy's shoulders."<BR/><BR/>That makes me smile.<BR/><BR/>And about the ALDS, remember that first year, how they had the team with home field play two on the road, then go home for the last three? That screwed us, as we lost two on the road to start. Some home field advantage that turned out to be.
