Step Up To The Plate

Larry Bowa Completely Snapped

Did anyone catch Larry Bowa losing his mind? In baseball lingo this is called "snapping." Other forms? "Snapped, snapage, gonna snap." In 9 times out of 10 such snapage is a result of the umpire being a power control pain in the ass because he blew a call, did a make up call at the wrong time or something along those lines. YouTube pulled this down and I didn't find it on MySpace. Thanks to Redlasso.

Opening day 2008

I guess today was opening day. At 3am (pacific) the Red Sox took on the A's in the Tokyo Egg dome. Fortunately (or not!) I woke up at 2:56am, just in time to see the first few innings, before going back to bed.

Manny was Manny w/4 RBI's (one of four Red Sox players in the past 50 years to knock in four in Boston's first season game.

Was weird to see such a young A's team. They don't have the star power of any contender and will be reliant on great pitching, but I think there is a fine line between the top teams and the bottom teams. Money does not buy guaranteed championships.
