MLB - Official 2012 Postseason Thread of More Wild Cards and Higher Champagne Budgets

You are certainly showing it.
I don't blame the fans for throwing things as long as nobody got hurt. Throwing things is the only recourse the fans have in a one game playoff. Causing the delay and throwing things will bring attention to the injustice much more than booing and a manager ejection. Even though it amounted to nothing, the fans did the only thing they could and have caused the story to be focused on the egregious call. It would have been nothing more than a foot note on the highlights without the fans reacting. MLB had to have a press conference about it, that's crazy and much brought on by the fans reaction.
Don't like to see things being thrown because people can get hurt.

The most frustrating/infuriating thing about the call is that it's not even a bang-bang judgement call like a play at the plate or any bag would be.

No. And if they are bad calls they reverse them. What are you talking about?
Actually I see nothing of the sort in the official rules dealing with the apex of the fly ball the closest I see is
which means if it's not apparent until the ball is caught then it doesn't need to be called until then if you follow the literal wording of the rule (not the spirit)
from the official rules
to be fair I think I think at least 1 second before the ball hits the ground would be a nice addition to the rules.

Funny as hell timeline from St. Louis fans who either congratulate themselves on being the best fans in baseball or throw around racial and homophobic slurs. You can't find that in any other fan base.

do you value WAR or RBIs more?

Yeah, that's it.

a player with 300 rbis in a season but manages to only get a 5 WAR is obviously worth more than a pitcher with a 6 war
WAR > RBIs
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Jajaja. Funny man.
Slurs aside, I like the Pujols' tweets. So much salt lololol.
Yes, that feed is somehow representative of the entirety of Cardinals nation. Spare me.
The "best fans in baseball" label is not fan declared. It's been a long standing perception by the media and even visiting fans/players.
None of that matters to a message board.
Happens every post season since ive been here.
Your avatar tells me all I need to know about your objectivity.
The Braves lost, infield fly rule or not. Dont blame the umps. Blame your teams performance.

The braves did more than enough to lose the game. The cardinals fans are not the best in baseball.

perception is not reality.
Oh I know. I learned all I needed to know last post season on GAF.
I wasnt even a real fan because I dont post here about the Cards during the season.

and you're 100% sure the Cards win the game if the right call is made?
Ok. But they'll continue to be called that by knowledgeable baseball people. So fight the power and stuff.
I was laughing at you saying that your fans and team are not douchebags. Of course the braves lost the game. No fucking shit. Thanks mr sherlock.
How could I be? But it wasnt a "win/lose" call on that play alone. Cards were certainly winning prior to it, and even if it went the other way the score wouldve been the same. Cards up by 3.

who? the same old farts that hate Sabermetrics because " a computer don't play" like Joe Morgan likes to say? an opinion is irrelevant. those guys that vote for Cy Young based on wins only? I want to know what makes Cardinals fans better fans than all of us.
