A couple of things that have really pi**ed me off.
Attention ALL Red Sox hitters, quit b*tching about the strike zone. Last time I checked, a ball at the knees is still a strike. This ump, aside from one poor call on a Mussina pitch to Varitek has been VERY consistent, can't ask for much more.
Mike Timlin is being overrated by EVERYONE in New England. You can't bring the guy into a game with runners on, if you do, you can bank on the fact that they will be scoring. His numbers don't show poor performances, but MANY more runners than you are led to believe by his numbers have scored on his watch. And there's still going to be idiots on a consistent basis calling up WEEI saying how great Timlin is.
I'm not going to get on Schilling tonight, first game back, this is kind of what I expected. A poor performance, I'm not worried about him, yet.
P.S. Oh yes, how could I forget about Edgar "I'm not hitting, and I lead all AL Shortstops in Errors" Renteria. Someone explain to me why he's bunting in the first inning of a scoreless game. I don't care if he's bunting for a base hit, he had the count in his favor, AND if he can't hit the ball swinging away, then he shouldn't be in the 2 hole. I can't remember the last time he hit a line drive (I'm not trying to be a ****, I honestly can't remember). I can't take the guy anymore, he's not hitting, he's not playing defense, he's not doing a whole lot other than making outs.
