First the Famous "Bug game" with Joba Chamberlain back in 2007
and Now a game that goes to the Birds !

Not sure if it fair for Cleveland to have Extra players on the Field !

Nothing can top Randy Johnson pegging a bird with a 90+mph fast ball.

Great clip.

It's got to be the fact lake Erie is close by. Making stuff like the bugs and birds happen.

The home team always wins in extra innings....at least this year !

That stadium is a disgrace. They should call an exterminator or something to get rid of the birds.

and get rid of that damn ivy at Wrigley too ?

It's just a part of the game that adds some charm to the grand old game.

Or we could play all games in domes, perhaps ?

That's my feeling too. Quirky stuff like this makes baseball a little more amusing.

Thought the 'catwalk' play when the Red Sox were at Tropicana last year was great.

Think my all time fav is the black cat at the Mets game.

I agree with the exterminator thing WTF with the birds?
And the Ivy thing, why not just have the game in a zoo?
Trees animals n stuff.
Stupid.

I Fucking give up !

I show my wife the Randy Johnson bird kill pitch video.

She asks " Did he get in trouble for that ? " Totally serious Q from the wife

as if Randy could hit this bird in flight, if he tried to !

she puts on a baseball game ( Redsox) on TV, comments are priceless and sad at the same time.

I didn't know it was even possible to know this little about baseball. I'm thinking about betting Angela's picks ?

 

[Doug]

The wife's comment is just so bizzare.

that mean Randy Johnson killed a seagull !

blows my mind, really !

she really thinks it was like intentional , or something ?

 

[BET.THE.DOGS]

My wife saw it and felt sorry for the bird/s also.
she also does not know what a moneyline is...she thinks a 5 point spread is the distance between a birds wing span.
lol

You couldn't time the pitch correctly with a kamikaze seagull cooperating with you !

It's fucking ridicolous.

this comes from a woman that was shat ( shitted) upon by a seagull in a parked car at the beach... window open,just the right wind....

funny as SHIT !

think about it, a gull shits on my wife in a parked car with no sunroof open. it just drops from the sky.... with just the right wind to blow the birdshit into her hair.... that was GREAT ! I loved it !
