And yes, Ellsbury IS a fast player, but like i said, there was NOBODY covering the base. colorado KNOWS he's a fast player and a base-stealing threat. game two was a close game all the way through. there is NO way that neither matsui OR tulowitzki would leave second uncovered unless they were giving him the base intentionally. 646470@blogcritics.org Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:21:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/28/101943.php#comment-646053 First, Royce Clayton was also wearing a mic in the series against the Indians. Second, he talked to Ellsbury AFTER Crisp. Third, he also talked about the promotion to other players. Fourth, Ellsbury is very fast, and as you pointed out he got a great jump. I'm surprised you didn't mention that Crisp was benched for Ellsbury for the World Series as part of your wacky conspiracy theory... I will however agree with you that the free taco promotion was annoying with the commentary and the interview with the Taco Bell exec. 646053@blogcritics.org Mon, 29 Oct 2007 11:10:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/28/101943.php#comment-645826 That was funny! 645826@blogcritics.org Sun, 28 Oct 2007 10:31:48 EDT
