August 25, 200421 yr After rookie Kevin Correia replaced Franklin, Pierre stole second, an act that wasn't appreciated by Giants manager Felipe Alou, based on the unwritten rule against pouring it on in a lopsided game. "That's bush league," Alou said. "I found it very offensive and irresponsible. We didn't take any measure because we are gentlemen, we feel." Giants outfielder Marquis Grissom said he didn't take Pierre's steal personally -- "You play through the fifth inning," Grissom said. "That's what I was taught." "I don't have a comment," Pierre said when asked for reaction to Alou's remarks. Oh jeez!
August 25, 200421 yr D-Train should plop a 93 MPH fastball in Bonds' face to show him "Bush League". Felipe Alou is just an old coot who's bitching because his team got beat.
August 25, 200421 yr Crybaby, it's the 1st inning. The Giants came back from a bigger lead on the fish this season. No lead is safe.
August 25, 200421 yr Author Crybaby, it's the 1st inning. The Giants came back from a bigger lead on the fish this season. No lead is safe. 526107[/snapback] ^^Great point Admin^^ Don't do that clowny stuff in the 7th inning, but stealing a base in the 1st is fine.
August 25, 200421 yr Author ALOU PWNED!!! 2 stolen bases in the first inning tonight. That's gangsta!
August 25, 200421 yr So does Alou also think we should have started throwing fat balls to Bonds to let them catch up a bit?????
August 25, 200421 yr I probably have a tissue that Alou could borrow. It's the first inning. It was only 7 runs which is not that many with 8 innings to go. If JP gets one high and tight later this game I'm gonna be pissed
August 26, 200421 yr JP is putting a lot of pressure on the Giants...I wish he always did this. He has 3 stolen bases so far today... But he has been ripping the Giants the whole season...and he has a 11 game hit streak against them... he was the only one to reach base the first time around the lineup in todays game...and he made that run count...thats what he is suppose to do he is also getting a lot of very good jumps, and the pitchers dosent have a good pickoff move either
August 26, 200421 yr alou could kiss jp's ass............ but a wait jp's on his way to second.......... 3 SB's today. Marlins seem to have rivals in each division. Phillies, Giants, Reds
August 26, 200421 yr Grissom has the right idea. No lead is ever safe in baseball, but the unwritten rules don't kick in until after the leading team bats in the 5th.
