Let's say a baseball is three inches in diameter. When the ump called McGwire out on strikes, the replay showed that if you froze the ball as it neared the plate, you could fit another baseball in-between that hurled ball and the corner of the plate. That means the damn ball was about four inches outside the strike zone. Sometimes, McGwire is forced to gamble and swing at one of these balls, but if he connects, even with all his power, all he gets is a fly to right field, because the ball hits off the end of his bat and it won't carry. I realize this is a partisan rant, but everyone who watches baseball knows the umpires are really fickle about where the plate is this time.
Somebody needs to stop the hypocrisy.
Let's get one strike zone, and fire Helen Keller if he can't see the goddamn ball. Following the casino commercail, they run an ad for the Missouri Lottery . If you do hard drugs, you get into the Hall of Fame and the White House. This Pete Rose thing is all fucked up. One last thing, Pete Rose has the record for Most Hits.
