What's patently unfair about that call is that the rule benefits the player and team that fucked up!

That play never happens in MAJOR LEAGUE STADIUM.

Hahahahaha.

No, they must have come up with that rule just for Fenway.

But come up with it they did.

Hahaha. Poor Ham.

But what I said, ass-wipe.

That puny fence doesn't belong in a MLB park.

It was a great game.

I was surprised we didn't hear from Ham about the fake interference play, too, but maybe he missed it.

I am relieved the Red Sox won. I hope the White Sox win, too.

Their games is moving glacially.

You say that as if there were a rule that applies to it.

There isn't and no amount of your belly-aching is going to change it to assuage your sour grapes.

You would have said nothing if that had gone the other way and bounced off a Rays player, denying the Red Sox a run and we all know it, even if you cannot bring yourself to admit it.

Of course, the bullpen wall isn't the shortest at Fenway, but it also isn't the 2nd shortest wall in the majors.

But why let reality get in the way of a good pout, Ham.

You are too fucking funny.

The Tuck Rule.

Umps got it right.

I can certainly understand the Rays feeling jobbed.

That was a great game.

Why the Sox pitched to Arozarena in the 8th was a mystery to me. Should have IBB him.

and the Sox would have won it in 9.

Did I mention how great a game that was?

Proving your stupidity, again, Josh?

The rule allowed the defensive error to benefit your team. That you don't grasp what is in front of you shows your homerism.

A game the Sox had blown was gifted to them

That's inarguable.

Yes, correct ruling.

But a gift.

That puny fence has been in MLB longer than any other fence, other than the really high one in left, and every great player in the AL and most in the NL has played on that quirky field for over a century.

That's inarguable.

/Laughs/

You made a factual claim.

It's false.

I happen to agree that the rule benefited the Red Sox, though it is very unclear that it changed the outcome of the game. They get the 1 run. Next batter strikes out.

Red Sox score two in the bottom of the inning and win.

It's arguable.

It just isn't the conclusion you wanted.

Same as it ever was.

What may not belong in baseball is your puny ego.

p.s. The catwalk rules shouldn't exist as they do, either, but they exist and it is the way it is. The Rays and Red Sox are playing by the same rules. It happened to benefit the home team this time around. Otherwise, you wouldn't be saying a fucking word, pissant.

It sure is!

I'm loving it and the Buffalo/KC game. (of course, the latter's in a lightning delay. It's a crazy night in sports.)

I see Wainwright is doing the Astros/White Sox game.

Is Cole doing the Braves/Brewers?!

ERod is announced for the Red Sox.

Not sure who is going for the Rays, yet.
