9. Ham Fighters February 18th, 2009 at 11:45 am

   the whole stadium must’ve ‘cycled-off’ then, cause it all looks small to me.

10. Drew February 18th, 2009 at 11:47 am

    Ahhhh, nice weather.

11. Doreen February 18th, 2009 at 11:52 am

    Justin

    Well, NO, as a matter of fact I don’t think ARod looks smaller. As a matter of fact, when I got the chance to see a part of the press conference, I thought to myself, wow – that guy has incredibly broad shoulders in street clothes.

    this isnt p.c. but it IS funny:

    the sign outside the umps locker room at dodger stadium:

    no offense to our sight-impaired fellows.

13. Steph February 18th, 2009 at 11:53 am

    Keep the pics coming!

14. Uncle Ellsworth February 18th, 2009 at 11:55 am

    Ham – I think it is ok to offend umpires

15. DT February 18th, 2009 at 12:01 pm

    Is it just me, or does Alex look like he’s checking out his shadow?

    Of course the Pete haters will say it was another subtle Arod dig – Pete could have taken that pic from a different direction…. but nooooo… it’s always a “game of shadows” with Alex!

16. The Committee February 18th, 2009 at 12:03 pm

    Is that ARod’s shadow or is that Selena Roberts’ shadow as she leaps from the stands? If you look at it carefully I think it’s Selena and I think she has a knife.

    Soemone has to stop the madness, this chick is out of control. If the police won’t do anything about it then Jeter has to step up.

    are Saturday and Sundays practices starting around 11am also or later, anyone know?

18. SJ44 February 18th, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    What can Jeter do? Tell her to stop writing a book about him? lol

    There isn’t anything Jeter, or anybody else for that matter, can do.

    Only Alex can fix Alex. If he does what he said yesterday he wants to do, it won’t be a problem.

    on that subject, before the first blown call of the season id like to say i think that major league umpieres do an awesome job.

    there are always going to be blown calls but i a amazed at how accurate they are. id say at least 85% of the time on the tightest of bang-bang plays, the stop action and super slowmotion show them to be correct. i think its pretty remarkable really.

    the calling of balls and strikes continues to depend to some extent on each guy’s opinion of what the rulebook means, but standards have been set and are being adhered to much better than say 10 years ago but still needs improvemet. but this isnt the ump’s fault altogether, even though some of the old timer’s cling to thier right to personally interpret the zone.

    overall these guys are great.

    it has to be humiliating to them the way the can be scrutinized by omnipresent lenses surrounding them they have to make tight calls while dirt and bats and catchers mitts fly around them, and they do a great job overall.

    now we’re gonna stop the game to embarrass them with more scrutiny. next thing you know we’ll be having them wear helmet cams so we can humiliate them with the actual sight they saw when their judgement was off on one play in the last 22 hundred plays and show it on the jumbotron for thier further humilation.

    these guys are professional and extremly good at what they do and they deserve our appreciation.

    BA ranked gerrit cole the top freshman in the nation,we all remember him.

21. Ham Fighters February 18th, 2009 at 12:07 pm

    catcher’s masks sorry

22. Ham Fighters February 18th, 2009 at 12:12 pm

    but blind ump jokes are still funny

23. The Committee February 18th, 2009 at 12:13 pm

    SJ,

    Jeter needs to have his back. Safety first, man.

    Look at the picture of ARod and Justin Leone. That dude is getting it done. JL is saying to himself; “Not on my watch, Selena. Not on my watch.”

24. JohnC February 18th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    Yes Bru, we remember. Unfortunately, he lied to the Yankees from the outset. gave them every indication he intended to sign if the money was right. Then when the time came to get down to negotiations, he changed his mind and said he was going to college. Can’t blame the Yanks for that one. Hopefully, in another 3 years, they get another shot at him.

25. Russell NY February 18th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    Ham Fighters, I’ll be the first to admit that on way more than one out of 2200 plays did I want to smack a ref. I still remember a play a year or 2 ago where I believe Cano tagged someone on the opposing team out at 2nd and they originally called him safe. Even though he was 10 feet away from the bag when he fully stopped sliding.

    A B52 bomber must have been between the ref and the action.

26. Ari Gold February 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    Jeter and A-Rod let their dicks swing in the same locker room and they hate each other!
