ruin the game? I they should set it up so it would only be use once or twice a game. I don't see how that would ruin the game. And why would the coaches decide when to look at the replay? Why not have a replay offical like they do with college football? And I wouldn't losing a playoff game on blown call by the ump a small price.

The Things We Hate And Love Thread .
Time
I hate the fact that Penn State lost today in College football. I was hoping that JoePa would be able to win one more national championship and retire. But that is not to be.

I hate the fact that so many people are rude at the highschool football games I go to, and I hate the fact that it was raining for the 2nd straight week in a row.

Finaly I hate the fact, that some jerk who didn't look behind himself, sat right in front of me, and put up an umbrella and obstructed my view of the game. it is for these situations, that God created ponchos and rain coats. They can protect you from the rain and they don't obstruct anyone's view of a sporting event. I wish more people would learn that.

if an ump's call is wrong, then we could hold it against the ump come next season, but we have to respect the ump's call.


tell that to the Angels and the team in my previous example that lost game seven of the World Series to a blown call by the ump.


As for slowing down that game, as I said before, we need limit its use so that it wouldn't slow the game down too much.

Could we see a demonstration of your skill with a machete and others "smaller cutting utensils"?

instant replay for baseball is a big no, imho. it would slow down an already steady pace for a great sport. plus the arguing with umps is one of the best part of the game. especially since players can argue with them and everyone knows nothing can happen. the umps word is gold. end of story.



clear it would have to be used in limited situations. You obviously couldn't use it to call balls and strikes. But why is arguing with the umps perfered to better acuracy with calls?

I mean if game 7 of the World Series came down to a call by the ump and the replay clearly showed that the ump was wrong, wouldn't you want them to be able to use the replay and get the call right?

didn't you read this quote?

Quote

Director Martin Campbell said the 21st Bond film would be "definitely darker, more character, less gadgets".


He also said Q would not be in this movie. I don't think you need to worry about "a silly campfest".

Somehow, I don't think Casino Royale will be anything like Moonraker. I will hold judgement of the new Bond until I see him play the part.

I agree they are not going to reverse it, but they could change to rules to require that the Ump give clearer signals in that situation. Or they could do away with the rule the allows the batter run to first if the catcher drops the 3rd strike.

that brings up another good question, what do you think about instant replay for baseball?

Well, I don't consider the Medowlands as part of my home state. I consider it enemy territory.

unfortunatly not. I wish it were. Because North Jersey is more highly populated, they are always given preference by our elected officals.

I know what you mean. But I will try to keep an open mind. Just because he looks like a Bond villian, doesn't he'll be a bad bond. There's somthing about him I like. I don't know wheither its his ascent or his mannerisms, I can't put my finger on it. But I've got a feeling he could be a good Bond. Only time will tell. I think this photo gives off good vives:




Does anyone know if there is away I can add a poll to this thread? I wanted poll people on Craig and what kind of bond they think he will be.
