"The Pittsburgh Pirates organization is extremely disappointed by the way its 19-inning game against the Atlanta Braves ended earlier this morning. The game of baseball and this game in particular, filled with superlative performances by players on both clubs, deserved much better.
"While we cannot begin to understand how umpire Jerry Meals did not see the tag made by Michael McKenry three feet in front of home plate, we do not question the integrity of Mr. Meals. Instead, we know that Mr. Meals' intention was to get the call right. Jerry Meals has been umpiring Major League games for 14 years and has always done so with integrity and professionalism. He got this one wrong."
Meanwhile, the daughter of Meals, Laci, confirmed that Meals' family has been harassed since the controversial call, ESPN.com's Amy K. Nelson reports. She declined to talk further or answer any other questions. The specifics of that harassment are unknown.
An Internet search of the Meals' home phone number showed at least two message boards posted their home address and telephone number last night.

Is anyone keeping track of the number of Giants names rumored to be going to the Mets? I think were into triple digits.

well to be fair, giving up either of those for Beltran is fucking stupid, but i guess there are some dumb GMs out there.darkside31337 said:KG is just covering his own ass.
It was like only a week ago he was mocking Mets fans for even possibly thinking they could get Wheeler or Brown back in a trade. Even though he himself is a Mets fan. Jerk.

The Beltran deal isn't done for 24 hours because of 10/5. Phils keep trying
If Giants give up Wheeler, good indication internal evaluations about his stuff/ceiling had fallen.
That sounds something like the other team would say, hah!XiaNaphryz said:Andrew Baggarly:

Yeah, some have described Wheeler as Alderson with higher velocity but less control.clemenx said:That sounds something like the other team would say, hah!
But Tim Alderson is a good example, incredible how he went into sucking.
