According to Mark Buehrle, the Rangers are cheating!

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2147225
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Chicago White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle called the Texas Rangers cheaters on Tuesday, claiming that the team signals pitches to batters through a high-tech light system in center field.:scratch2:

Buehrle suggested Monday night that the Rangers knew what he was throwing during Chicago's 7-5 loss, and he repeated the accusation before Tuesday's doubleheader.

"I've heard rumors, so it's not just me saying this," Buehrle said. "I've heard it from tons of people. It's not just me saying this. ... Something's going on because they hit so good at home. The way they hit here, you'd have to raise an eyebrow to figure something's going on. Look at the stats. I'm not just making this up."

Texas entered Tuesday batting .285 with 125 homers at home, compared to .256 with 86 homers on the road.

The Rangers dismissed the allegations -- in some cases with a chuckle.

"It's crazy and it's funny," said Rangers home run leader Mark Teixeira. "It's an outrageous comment, an outrageous claim."

Texas DH Phil Nevin jokingly asked Rangers manager Buck Showalter why the lights weren't working when he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Monday night.

Buehrle, who allowed nine hits and seven runs -- four earned -- in seven innings, said he suspected the Rangers knew the pitches in advance by how they reacted in their at-bats.

"Certain pitches you throw, they lay off them like they knew it was coming," Buehrle said.

Stealing signs is common in baseball, and it's legal if done on the field. But using television or having a spy in center field to pick off a catcher's signals is forbidden.

"To have somebody out in center field or whatever they're doing, that's cheating," Buehrle said.

Texas hitting instructor Rudy Jaramillo said Buehrle's charges were insulting.

"We just had a good approach," Jaramillo said. "Maybe he said that out of frustration. He can think whatever he wants."

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen softened Buehrle's charges.

"You can go either way with it," Guillen said. "The way Buehrle pitched yesterday, it seemed they didn't need signs. Everything was right down the middle of the plate. :lol:

"This is a tough issue. We have to respect them because they kicked our butt last night. If we think they're doing something different, then we have to change the signs, location, whatever."Apparently Buehrle doesn't realize that the Rangers play their games inside a matchbox.

Not that I know anything about what the Rangers are doing or 'known' for doing, but this has been done before.

Although Ozzy is correct...you can't throw the ball right down the middle and get away with it. :lol:

Michael Young hit HR #20 this afternoon putting the first 6 batters in the Rangers order all at 20 HR or more, and our #8 hitter has 16 and #9 has 13. If only we could string together some non HR hits every now and then. By comparison, the ChiSox lineup has 3 batters with 20+ HRs. So far Dellucci, Young and Soriano have homered today.

What the heck happened to the Cubs? Just a few years ago, they had highly touted prospects and youngsters in Patterson, Choi, Hill, Zambrano, Wood, and Prior, they almost made it to the World Series a couple years back, and now they are losing to the Dodgers 0-7 in the 3rd inning and their fans are actually BOOING them!

Matthews: "Small point, I don't mean to be whimsical, but at this time it wouldn't hurt for a little whimsy... but how do you get the Astros out of their, uh, ballpark?"

Governor "Well um, you know they're playing at, uh, a place called Minute Maid now, not the Astrodome."

Matthews: "Oh really?"

Governor: "Welcome to this year in baseball, Chris"

Just found this, Boomer's 'apology' to MLB:

"I met today with Major League Baseball and the Players Association and was happy to have the chance to answer questions about my press conference the other day and to learn more about the drug testing program and on-field disciplinary suspensions.

"Now that I have had this opportunity to sit down and discuss the issues, I better understand the procedures that go with steroid testing. I now know that neither Bud Selig nor anyone else delayed the Palmeiro case and that the Commissioner's Office has worked with the Union to improve the steroid policy. I also understand that John McHale, rather than Bud Selig, was the ultimate decision-maker relating to on-field disciplinary suspensions imposed by Bob Watson.

"I understand that I was wrong in my statements about these issues and for that I apologize."

The Marlins lost...but :eek:...

Marlins' Hermida debuts with historic slam (http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=12896)

MIAMI -- Only two players in baseball history had ever hit a grand slam in their first major league game. Only one other had done it in his first at-bat. And no one had ever pulled it off as a pinch hitter.

Yet with one swing, Jeremy Hermida -- called up by Florida from the minors about three hours before the game -- found his own special corner of baseball history. He had a pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh inning off the St. Louis Cardinals' Al Reyes in the Marlins' 10-5 loss Wednesday night.

"You couldn't even dream of something like this," Hermida said, the ball safely tucked into the left heel of his sneaker as his cell phone incessantly vibrated.

The only other player with a grand slam in first major league at-bat was pitcher William "Frosty Bill" Duggleby, who did it for Philadelphia at home against the New York Giants in the second inning on April 21, 1898, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. San Francisco's Bobby Bonds also hit a slam in his first game, doing so in his third plate appearance more than 37 years ago.

"You always dream of coming in and maybe not getting a home run in your first at-bat, but just getting a hit," Hermida said. "To do something like that, it's something I couldn't even describe."

Hermida, a 21-year-old outfielder whose contract was purchased from Double-A Carolina, batted for pitcher Brian Moehler with Florida trailing 10-0 and connected on the third pitch he saw in the big leagues.

He swung at a fastball, took a ball low, then homered over the right-field wall, a drive estimated at 373 feet.

"I pretty much already made up my mind I was going to swing at the first pitch up there, just to get the jitters out," Hermida said. "After that, I was like, 'All right, sit back and trust yourself.' And he just happened to leave one over the middle a little bit."

Said Reyes, when asked about being part of history: "It doesn't feel too good ... but it's a part of the game."

Reyes said the history-making pitch was a changeup that got too high -- and seconds later, too far.

"He took advantage of it," Reyes said. "He jumped on it right away and he hit the ball good. I didn't know it was his first major league at-bat."

Hermida moved briskly around the bases after the homer, yet after returning to the dugout and slapping hands with several delighted teammates, he did not acknowledge long, loud cheers from the sparse crowd that remained -- missing the chance for his first career curtain call.

"Honestly, I didn't even see it. I don't even think I looked at it. I was just running," said Hermida, who received the ball after the game. The Marlins' bullpen traded two signed baseballs in a deal with the fan who caught the homer.

"As soon as I hit it, I had a pretty good idea it was going out," Hermida said. "It didn't really hit me until I crossed home plate."

Bonds, the father of seven-time MVP Barry Bonds, made his major league debut for San Francisco on June 25, 1968, and homered against Los Angeles, Elias said. Bonds grounded out in the third inning at Candlestick Park, was hit by Claude Osteen's pitch in the fifth, then homered off reliever John Purdin.

Only a few thousand people in the announced crowd of 20,656 remained to Hermida's hit. The Marlins' top pick in the 2002 amateur draft and the 11th pick overall, he remained in the game as Florida's left fielder to start the eighth inning.

Most of the night's other offensive fireworks came from the Cardinals. Albert Pujols had a season-high three extra-base hits, scored twice and reached the 100-RBI mark for the fifth consecutive season, and Hector Luna also had three extra-base hits.

Luna had a chance at his piece of history -- hitting for the cycle -- but grounded out in the ninth. He tripled in the fourth, homered in the fifth and doubled in the seventh.

"I would have like to hit for the cycle because it's a one-time thing and I had a chance to have it," Luna said.

The loss put the Marlins (70-63) a game behind Philadelphia -- an 8-2 winner in New York over the Mets -- in the wild-card race.

David Eckstein had three hits, including his seventh home run. Luna and Eckstein each finished with three RBIs. Jeff Suppan (13-10) threw five scoreless innings, leaving after a 35-minute rain delay in the bottom of the fifth.

Juan Pierre had two hits for Florida, which hadn't had a player other than Miguel Cabrera or Carlos Delgado homer since Aug. 5 -- until Hermida etched his name into baseball history.

Pujols doubled off left fielder Cabrera's glove and scored in the third, then drove in his 100th run of the year on a triple -- his second of the season and only the 11th in his career -- in the Cardinals' four-run fifth against Jason Vargas (5-2). Pujols doubled again in the sixth.

But afterward, virtually all the attention was directed toward Hermida, who hadn't seen live pitching in a week because of a sore wrist. His call-up was so sudden that his family didn't even have time to attend the game, although a close friend of his father was in the stands.

"At this rate," Marlins closer Todd Jones said, "he only needs another 800 at-bats to be the greatest hitter of all time."

That pretty much sums it up except I think we now want the Angels to lose being that they are the wild card threat from the west.
