53 - Good stooping header from Gerrard puts Torres through in the inside-left position, but he hits it high and then pretends to be injured hoping no one will notice his miss.

Terrible job by Torres there. Better he should keep a stiff upper lip and give it a go next time down the pitch.

56′ - Liverpool fans sing a song about Joleon Lescott looking like the Elephant Man, but in actual fact, is it possible to be uglier than the gargoylacious Dirk Kuyt?

I mean really, faking an injury on the pitch? That type of thing is just not done. It’s as low as buggery.

72′ - Benayoun tried to trick his way past Cole but is easily robbed. Bet he wishes he was with his family celebrating Passover, which is also tonight. Still, this is a verison of the bitter herbs he’d be eating were he there, and he may shed some real tears instead of the symbolic saltwater.

How is a ball that’s “deflected” end up a triple? Shouldn’t there be an error in there?

Comment posted by Dep on April 8, 2009 at 4:18 pm (#947801)
maybe guy dove for it and it hit his glove

or it was a tough play

we all know errors on OF plays is scored retarded

Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 8, 2009 at 4:19 pm (#947802)
It is but usually if they dive for it and then kick it away, there’s an error involved somewhere. Oh well, hometown scoring.

Was wathcing the ATl-Phi game last night and Peachtree TV had no commercials at all. They stayed with views of the field throuoghout, sound was not turned off so you hear the PA system. It was lovely.

I haven’t seen a jew get robbed like that since Bernard Madoff was free.

I must say that I am quite enjoying the thrashing the Braves of Atlanta are administering to the Phillies of Philadelphia. Reminds me of the beatings that Man U would put on Arsenal back in the old days before Man U was overcome by a case of “ramble around the pitch blindly and lose”. Surely this turn of events is causing some consternation in the city of brotherly love. Though I have no doubt that the veteran leadership and grit shall prevail in the end.

Not yet. I thought i could just buy it with my remote but nooo i must call TWC, and that aint fun so i’ll do it this weekend most likely.

That’s excellent, i love when they dont cut to commercials. i love it more when they leave the announcers mics on and they dont know! get some good stuff then.

ruh roh, i’m starting to feel a little sheff love

After completing a 20-minute session in the outfield with coach Razor Shines hitting him balls, Gary Sheffield suggested he’s not ready to play the field in a game. Sheffield said he didn’t even pick up a glove during spring training. And because he figured to only be a DH with the Tigers, he came to camp heavier, and now needs to shed weight. Sheffield also reiterated that he’d be content pinch-hitting with sporadic outfield play. He planned to learn how Marlon Anderson and others prepared to pinch-hit, since it’s only one at-bat per game, as opposed to what he’s been used to as a DH. Regardless, Sheffield said there’s no way he’d be able to play 130 games in the outfield this season, or whatever the equivalent of a regular player gets. “They’ll see I can’t do that real quick,” Sheffield said with a smile.

93′ - Liverpool meanwhile, were nullified. It’s no secret that if Gerrard and Torres are kept quiet, they have very little goalthreat from elsewhere, and tonight, for the most part, they were as quiet as a mute mouse sucking on an everlasting gobstopper in a monastery.

All Sheffield needs to do is waddle out there whenever there’s a lefty starting. How many times a season on average do you get a lefty starter opposing?

Just get the damn bat out of Church’s hands when there’s a southpaw up there and I’m happy with Gary’s contribution.
