JUST SOME SHIZZLE
Off day yesterday and 8 o'clock start tonight so just a few notes and shit.
Wrote this little verse. It's sung to the refrain of 50 Cent's "P-I-M-P"
I don't know what you heard about him.
But a Y*nkee can't get a hit off of him.
He's the dominant Dominican y'all know,
He's mothafuckin' P-E-D-R-O!
Good stuff, ya heard?
Something that was discussed ad naseum over the weekend series with New York is the QuesTech strike zone monitor. If you don't know what it is, it is a series of cameras connected to a computer that determines whether or not a pitch passes through the strike zone defined by the rule book (knees to letters by the width of the plate). The controversy surrounding it is that umpires are calling balls and strikes based on fear of poor grades given by the system. No more generous corner calls. But is this a big problem? Shouldn't umpires be calling balls and strikes based on the rule book? Isn't that why you have a rule book in the first place? And for people who say that the strike zone should be open to interpretation, how come it is illegal to argue balls and strikes?
I am not against a mechanical umpire calling balls and strikes, however, I feel that the strike zone should be widened especially on the inside of the plate. I also feel that QuesTech should be installed in EVERY ballpark. The Braves refused to allow it for fear that Greg Maddux might have to throw strieks somewhere near the plate.
This raod trip the Sox begin tonight is very important. I feel we must win at least 4 games out of 6. We visit Texas tonight, tomorrow and the night after before visiting Balto for 3 days. We need to do well in this short trip because the schedule gets much harder after that.
We return to Fenway on the 5th to play the World Champion Angels who just beat Oakland a few times over the weekend. After 3 against Anahymen, we play a double-header against the O's and finish up with them over the weekend. Then we head west for the annual slaughter-fest. Visiting Oakland for 4 and then Seattle for 3. After a day off, we have to play Oakland at Fenway thrice and then play host to Seattle for four. Could someone tell me why the schedule makers always do this? It gets boring when playing bad teams and gets incredibly difficult against good teams. We only play the West teams maybe two series a year, so why have both of them right next to each other? Seems retarded. After Seattle, we host Toronto for a pair, then take a day off, then the Y*nkees come to town for 3 to end the month. August shall truly test this team's meddle.
Really good article. Fenway Park vs. Y*nkee Stadium
Casey Fossum got sent down to AAA Pawtucket the other day. He is starting tonight in preperation to start next Friday in the double-header against the O's if he is still with the team.
I'm watching the game and I just heard Don Orsillo say that Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were in their broadcasting chairs on Saturday. I bet the chairs are wicked sticky from the Y*nkee cum that McCarver and Buck spat out. It must be hard to swallow for 25 guys, just ask Jeter.
