Could that be the home run turns this series around? Like the one Alomar hit off of Eckersley?

And THAT is why they traded their entire farm of arms for him.
This has never been the case in the MLB. It's why you see take-out slides every freaking game designed to up-end the fielder in the process of a double play. Slides like Utley's slide have been a part of the game forever.
Did this change when the NY tabloids started going crazy? Did baseball suddenly change?
You can call what Utley did interference if you want, but players have been sliding in the vicinity of the bag knowing they are out for a long damn time. They aren't running down there to touch base. They are trying to disrupt the double play.
Too early to say obviously but it had a similar feel to it. Team totally down on luck.. and bam.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I was literally just thinking that.

It's just another chapter of disgusting hypocrisy in this league.

This is textbook. This is how you're supposed to do it, get in their way and disrupt their footing.
Don't aim at a guys legs. Anything that puts all of your weight into the guy throwing is bush league, period.

Is Gallardo pitching for Texas tomorrow? If so then no.

Right. This is a slide. Utley literally hits tejada before the ground.

If that's textbook then they should have called it that way all this time instead of waiting for some guy to get injured and the NY media to go into an uproar to change the rules after the fact.

This is actually not text book. Look how far he is away from the bag. Look how he raises his hand to sway and disrupt the throw.
Utley hand went over the bag. The only difference is that Utley broke Tejada's leg.
A double play was hardly possible in this case. Murphy's flip took him like into the outfield IIRC and the play at second ended up being fairly close. It ended being more of a collision if anything, let alone take out slide.

5 runs... Hope thats enough.
I hope they get a lot more. Still don't trust it.
Ignoring the fact that Utley aimed straight for Ruben's body and started his slide when he already started passing the bag.
But you are right, that is the only difference.

They never changed the rules. There has been a rule for years and years and years. The MLB needs to call it.

They're punishing a guy after the fact for something that was routinely allowed. That's not changing the rules? Was Utley supposed to know the future or something?

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Nah man, you're not supposed to slide early so you can actually slide INTO the bag. Slides should start at or past the bag obviously.

Estrada has earned a nice pay day next year. A lot more than his current $3.9 mill. A lot of teams going to try and overpay for him.
Hopefully it is the Jays. I like him a lot.

Watch this illegal slide from David Wright. He makes no attempt at sliding into the bag. Nothing is called.
You can call Utley a shit-head for sliding in hard, but the only thing that I see that was kind of hazy is the fact that he missed the bag. His hand went over the bag and he rolled into Tejada. Pretty normal take-out play at 2B though.
