Agree wholeheartedly. The pinch runner should be voided because if Molina’s hit was deemed a HR to begin with, the Giants never would have considered a pinch runner. Christ, even Molina can trot around the bases.

I also I agree with all of your points about Selig’s tenure. Love the Wild Card and divisions, I loathe interleague play, hate the All Star Game now that it “counts”, and he totally missed the boat on steroids. I’ve never understood why it mattered whether the All Star Game ended in a tie to begin with. It was and should be an exhibition game. If it ends 0-0 after 10 innings, I still could give a shit.

The Brewers should still be an American League team. I even liked them when they were an American League team. And we seriously can’t shift an NL Central team to the AL west? I’m looking at you Houston.

@Cubman in Satanic Fowl Land - How is it set up soundly if the system cost Bochy a pinch-runner? What if the umps decide they need to review it after Bochy sends a guy out and then they overturn it?

Yes, lots of guys get caught stealing second when the batter walks. Lots.

Come on Kerm. You can’t really fault Bud for this one. The system was set up soundly. If a player is going to haul ass out there without a nod from the manager, then belittle that guy from showing to much initiative.

And Cedeno is stupid, but not that retarded (he’d miss third).

I mean, I guess. But what was Bochy doing making a substitution if he was going to go argue? (Or at the very least, why did no one on the Giants stop Burriss before he got to first?)

The Cubs playoff game plans have addressed this situation: Quade will tackle and pummel Cedeno someplace between the pitchers mound and home plate if he tries to run directly from second base to home.
