sfgiantsflgators Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 That game was clearly staged. According to Tim McCarver, Morris had what looked like poop on his pitching hand. Joe Buck was convinced it was pine tar, Sparky says it was dirt, but McCarver insists that it was poop. His basis for that knowledge was that "...poop always comes out of my mouth so I know it when I see it." How do you argue with that logic? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well, this game is going to be delayed. First it crashed after the first hitter - now it just crashed in the eighth inning. Different hitters, different situations...about the only thing common between the two is that the Padres were hitting. Doubt it's anything Classics related as random crashes, in my experience anyway, are usually something else. The computer has been pretty well used today so maybe it just needs a rest. If I feel like it, I'll try it later tonight - otherwise it'll be tomorrow EDIT: Guess it was something with the Ballpark at Arlington. I ended up playing it at Minute Maid Park (close enough to home field for Texas) and will post the results soon. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
