HighHeat45 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 on the philly/stl game tony larussa told the umps to check pat burrells bat because the phillies had the umps make sure nothing was on julian tavarez's cap and the umps took burrells bat away and it is being tested and the broadcasters said the top of the bat looked like it might have been corked :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 DANG! When was the last time a pitcher was busted for loading the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Now all the Phillies need to do is bust out all their corked bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Good move to try to get into the kids head. Burrell obviously hot, why not try to derail him. Vintage Tony move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cork in Burrells bat, the announcers don't know what the hell they're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Ha wow....I feel for the Phils right now though. I'd really like to see them or Florida come out of the NL East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I've always liked Tony. Wish Hawk had stayed in the announcers booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 DANG! When was the last time a pitcher was busted for loading the ball? Zach Day was busted last year for scuffing the ball if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Zach Day was busted last year for scuffing the ball if that counts. i think it went he had stuff on his hand for his blister which constitued an illegal substance and that is why he was ejected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 If Bowa thinks he can "one-up" LaRussa, he better think again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 If Bowa thinks he can "one-up" LaRussa, he better think again. Bowa can't "one up" anybody, every1 except the Philly Brain's Trust know how much of a dumb ass Bowa is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israel4ever Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 #1) I think LaRussa is way overrated as a manager; he manages 100% "by the book". Bring in the lefty to face a lefty hitter, vice versa. Anyone can manage like that. #3) Re. the "cork" issue, if I was a manager facing the sCrUBS, I would have the umpires examine Sosa's bats anytime he got a homerun or a hit against my team. a) He's already been busted once; AND B) It would piss him off and get into his head. I don't know why opposing managers have yet to ask to have his bats examined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
