Fresno Game 2

Then once you had the board, goodbye shutout. I didn't talk about it. I just told no one else to talk about it. Besides, weren't you still in our section when the inning ended? You hadn't quite stolen the board when those runs were scored.

Ah well, I thought it was funny.

By telling everyone else not to talk about it, you indeed talked about it. If you had never mentioned it or the fact that it didn't need to be talked about, then you would be right. Boy, where's a good McNeese fan when you need one?

That's the whole point right there -

1) it should not even be whispered about until the 7th....

2) then - you can't be the one who mentions it....

3) because WHO EVER mentions it - is the one who gets the blame if it doesn't come to fruition....

Baseball is the most sacred of all sports and that is one of the most sacred unwritten rules of the sport -

But then again - very few of our fans are exactly eat up with "knowledge" about the game....

After 4 innings and the gorilla planted the seed in the whole stadium's heads. I didn't think a thing about it until that damn board. It was a perfect game until AG carried that board around. That was followed IMMEDIATLY by 2 walks and a hit batter. Once I went and got the board, we get out of the inning with NO RUNS!!

Before grabbing it, I had total support from Fox and Dwayne. If I'm going down for this, then they are coming with me! :icon_wink:

I didnt even think about it until I saw the sign! Then what do you know they get 3 men on in a row.

Already talking perfect game before the 5th inning, that is Bush League in and of itself. It shouldnt even be a thought until the pitcher gets through the end of the six with the perfect game in tact, only start getting your hopes up after 8, and it shouldnt be talked about ever. We need to have a baseball etiquette meeting.

How many times have we gotten through three innings and the announcer said "and still no hits?" What I did might have cost us the perfect game, but we still had the no hitter and shutout intact before Doc stole the dry erase board. And THEN, Doc tried to blame the board theft on Dwayne.

Now - the truth comes out...

Wow... Somebody's been learning from JO. :icon_wink:

I said that I was acting for myself, Dwayne and Fox.
