That was a double play ball if Okert doesn’t stand there on the mound watching.

Ok, Alexander gets one free punch in the dick, Okert cost him an earned run.

Ump bullshit filters all the way down to the LLWS (3-2, top of the 6th)…1-2 pitch with 2 outs, obvious strike called a ball, next pitch 3R bomb.

28

If I was comparing production I’d of said Carl Everett. I was comparing number of screws loose and therefore went with C4.

I hadn’t seen Lefty’s post in Roster Moves. I never liked that guy with his stupid pre-pitch theatrics. Hasn’t he sucked also? I didn’t want Pressly either, but this seems just as bad.

Can’t be worse than Weems can he? I honestly haven’t looked at his numbers.
