Now it appears that Major League Baseball is trying to create a Super Bowl like atmosphere for the World Series. I love John Cougar Mellencamp. But all this nonsense and fanfare before, during the halftime show (in the case of the SuperBowl) and after league final sporting events is all a bunch of silliness to me. Does anybody agree with me here? I know they are trying to get "casual fans" to watch more but it turns me off. What was wrong with the entertainment value of the games in the first place?

I wish the networks would give two starting times: (1) the time all the pre-game fanfare begins and (2) the actual starting time of the kickoff, first pitch, tip-off or whatever. I just want to watch the game!

I think he should. I mean Detroit people keep saying , well he washed it off and still shut them out,, but he would not have taken it out to the mound against the Yankees, A's AND now Cardinals if he didnt think it helped him in SOME way, ya know? Then throw in fact a guy who was Garbage in passed playoffs is all of a sudden not allowing any runs over 3 games and you haveta scratch yer head wondering like..now hold on a minute. Also, just because he leaned off his hand, does not mean he couldt have put the pinetar INTO his glave, like they did back in the day... now , personally, i dont think it helped him, i just think he is SO jacked up and is pitching well, but its an interesting spot MLB is in..should he be suspended for his next start? i think he should.

Give me your pick, and your reason(s) why. I've got my own choice, but you don't have to agree with mine.

Last night if you watched game 2 of the World Series, Fox gave a good shot of Kenny Rogers' thumb. Rogers claims it was "dirt". I am not a Cardinal fan, but I don't think it was dirt. It looked like a thick sticky substance to me. What do you think?

I'm talking about when your team doesn't make the playoffs (like my Reds), and all the teams you hate have been eliminated (like the Yankees), what do you go off of?

Right now I'm torn. I like rooting for the NL, but I also like to root for a team with fewer championships (StL has 9, Det has 4). More than anything, I'm hoping for a 7 game series.

A former Cardinal, the son of the great Cardinals play by play man pointing the finger all night at Kenny Rogers and the fact that "maybe" he was loading up the ball. Putting down just about every Tigers player for one thing or another. How great Jeff Weaver was after "finding himself" with the aid of the Cardinals management. They were giving no credit to the Tigers at all. These two guys make me sick. How does the network let them get away with it?

espn.com shows the same "dirt" on his hands in the ALCS and the game from last night. Coincidence? No mother-******* way. K. Rogers should be banned from the WS.

This is the dumbest argument coming out of Detroit why it was OK for Rogers to have a substance on his hand.

"He couldn't have been cheating, he was too obvious." WTF_EVER! So he's a bad cheat, that makes it OK? He knew the rules, he lied about it to the press, and now people try to defend this proven ******?

No one forgave Sammy Sosa for his corked bat, even though he a few home runs without the cork!

The rule book clearly states that if any foreign substance is found on the hand the pitcher should be kicked out of the game and suspended for 10 days. Dirt or not...it doesn't specify.

Somethimes they wave it over their shoulder, sometimes towards the plate. I assume it is to tell the catcher what type of pitch is coming, but which motion equals which pitch?

Of qualified batters, who had the highest batting average in the major leagues in 1990?

The kitties are back but their hitting is not up to par. Go tigers in St. Louis. Cards, you played a great first game. Go tigers.

Having pinetar on the ball makes it spin differently by adding a small amount of weight to one side of the ball. If the "material on the hand of the detroit pitcher was insignifigant, then why the rush to clean it off when suspicion was raised.

Do you think he was cheating by using the pine tar, or do you think it is sometimes necessary considering the weather?

tigers or cardinals

2006-10-22 22:13:55 · 13 answers · asked by Donna B 2

Im a Houston Astros fan and I really love the newfound rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals. Ive always respected them as an opponent b/c I understand their capabilities and talent level, but but Ive never thought of them as a "classy" organization and I never thought of LaRussa as a guy with great character. My mind was changed tonight in a loss to the Tigers Kenny Roger's tonight.

Kenny Rogers had on his hand what appeared to be pine tar (was called dirt) and after a meeting with the umps he had to wash his hand after the first inning. Regardless of whether it was dirt or pine tar, there was no reason to make a big deal out of it b/c he still shut the Cards down for 7 more innings w/o anything on his hand. After the game LaRussa was asked about it and he said "after a guy has a performance like that im not gonna take anything away from him regardless of what it was" or something along those lines. That was damn classy, and the players acted the same.

I am a Tigers fan and a Cardinals fan, but I hate Kenny Rogers. I noticed the pine tar in the series against the Yankees and then again against the A's. He has also been caught in the past. Even if the Cardinals had won it is still cheating. I just want one fellow Tigers fan to admit it was cheating so I can sleep tonight. Also, let me know what you think will happen in the games to come. I think it'll go to game seven. Cards will win next two and the Tigers the two after that.

Does anyone know the strike zone dimensions for the major league and the little leagues? I'm trying to make a little homemade strike zone for practicing.
