...and I want to shoot every player in the Reds bullpen.
I don't think the city of Cincinnati would charge me with a crime if I did.

Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players. For this reason, leaving the dugout to join a fight is generally considered acceptable in that it results in numerical equivalence on the field, and a fairer fight. -
Nascarfn, what's with the Padres avatar? Did you lose a bet?Comment

You certainly can't blame Junior - he won the game tonight with a 12-th inning homerun #8 this year and #571 in his career.Comment

It seems that each day of my life is the same.

I'm just wondering, what teams out there have horrible bullpens, pretty bad starting pitching, mistake-full baserunning skills, practice bad defense, and can't hit a ball.Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players.

The following takes place on a gameshow and is like my sig.
Host: When was the last time the Cincinnati Reds won a game?
Contestant 1: Are we talking about the Major League team?
Host: Yes
Contestant 1: I'm going to have to say they've never won a game.
Host: Wrong, Contestant 2, you have a chance to steal.
Contestant 2: Well, the Reds were founded in 1869 so I'm going to the half-way point and say 69 years ago.
Host: Wrong, just off, it was 100 years ago.Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players.

This is my own personal rant thread now since no one wants to hear me anymore.
Anyways, is there anything more exciting then a player being thrown out of a game. Ray King got thrown out tonight by Tim McClellan and just made my day. No real rant or anything but just some shouting and some teammates holding him back.Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players.

I could rant about the Cubs, too. Petco Park is a pitcher's park, despite the Padres hitting 5 home runs in the first two games. Someone obviously hasn't told the Cubs that because they keep trying to hit everything out of the park. They're probably going to get swept tonight.Originally posted by nascarfn5 View PostComment

"The pitcher could be anywhere between 18 and 70. He could be between 5-foot-5 and 7-foot-2. He could weigh between 150 and 300 pounds. He could have a broken arm or a broken leg. He could be dead or he could be alive. As long as he is left-handed, he is going to beat the Cincinnati Reds, especially in Great American Ball Park, even if he is blindfolded and on crutches."
