Older than your Lions fan at least. Looks like I won a bet that PB's team won't win.. hehehehe..

Can you elaborate a bit more, again I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to sports.

............................................

What a crock of [parasitic bomb]. That was totally unprofessional. That ump just wanted to rob the pitcher of a perfect game. I bet if you look at his face long enough, you could sense it.

No, that's definitely not the case. My anger has calmed down, and the ump in question manned up, and went on to say that "he blew that call and cost that kid his perfect game and that he's never felt so low." The pitcher in question supposedly hugged him after the game. To come out and admit your mistake after seeing a replay earns my respect. [parasitic bomb] happens, but he admitted his mistake. The pitcher knows what he did, the ump knows what he did, and everyone who watches & plays baseball knows what he did, so the commissioner needs to step in, make an exception to the rules, and overturn the call and give Galarraga his perfect game.

Then I revoke my previous comment.

Anyhow, back on topic: [tornado fang] this, I can't take the shitty pair of headphones I have now. I'm getting a new pair tomorrow.

It's a saying about when someone asks an age-relaited question about a sports team, the phrase mentions the opposing team being younger than the team mentioned earlier.

Aww... technicalities are always heartwarming.

I was talking about the age, I know how a bet works.

I don't think you fully understand what just happened though, so I'll calmly explain...

In baseball, a pitchers goal is to shut the offense of the opponents team down, to try and keep them from scoring runs so that your team can win. This is not an easy task because baseball is full of great hitters that are trying their hardest to win. In fact, a perfect game is probably the hardest achievement for a pitcher to get. A Perfect Game means that you did not allow a hit or a runner on the base at all. The pitcher has to get 27 straight outs. To put things into perspective, over the 100+ year span of Baseball, with over 100+ games being played by over 25-30+ teams a YEAR, it has only been done 20 times in Baseball history. 20. That's it. Just 20 pitchers have done it. I'm stressing this point so you can grasp how great, extremely hard, and impressive an achievement this is for a pitcher in baseball.

Well, today a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers named Armando Galarraga was 1 out away from pitching a Perfect Game. On what should have been the final out, the umpire called the base runner safe.

This was what should have been the final out of Galarraga's perfect game. As you can clearly see, the runner is out. He is CLEARLY out. 95% of the time, closer plays at 1st base like this are still called out, but this was not a close play. The runner was clearly out. Galarraga was robbed of what is known as "baseball immortality" because of one of the worst blown ump calls in baseball history. I'm not even a Detroit Tigers fans but when it comes to Perfect Games, pretty much all baseball fans, even fans of the team that is getting shutout, will pull together and root for that pitcher to get his perfect game. So this whole thing infuriated me and made me sick to my stomach. To have your perfect game taken away by a call like this is just unbelievable.

That's why I flew off the handle.

Not a baseball fan at all, but holy crap, the umpire actually did that? That doesn't just go against simple fair play morality, but to get him like that? OBVIOUS payroll.

Actually, I now feel bad for the guy and I retract my statement about him deserving the harsh media coming his way. If anything, I now think the harsh media should go to MLB in general for not having some form of instant replay system, which would've prevented such a travesty. Human error is forgivable.

No instant replay? That's kinda strange. o_o

80s aren't as great as you think they are. We wouldn't be able to go to Herald Square by ourselves without getting shot/mugged if it were still the 80s.

Also: The news anchors were ugly.

Speak for yourself. the 80's were a great time in other parts of the world. Fantastic games, INCREDIBLE music, movies and shows, there was LESS violence over here, and fashion and culture in general was colorful and happy. No emo.
