Unsafe On Any Step

Or maybe she’s ugly and that’s racing’s equivalent of a paper bag?

The girl in the picture looks like Taylor Swift.

But were they perfect in every detail?

Looks like the M’s didn’t get retro batting helmets.

Still, does my heart proud to see a Seattle pitcher wearing #56 (I guess he always wears 56 – too bad they weren’t in Pilots throwbacks).

From yesterday… it looked to me like the “S” on the front of the Mariners throwback is wayyyyy too big. Doesn’t look right.

Actually, from what Tom Hammond stated last night, that was in tribute to Jesse Owens’ 1936 performance in Berlin. And isn’t it ironic that adidas is a German company?

That’s two days now where the picture is of a dude wearing something tight. Then again it was a slow day?

[quote comment=”277716″]Sure wish the Pirates and Rays had got the stirrups (both teams) and hats (Rays) right last night.

Red, white-striped stirrups on both would have been great.

Teams seem to be nodding at TBTC’s now, rather than really focussing on them the way they did when the idea was new.

Too bad. What happened to that old saw about, “If you’re gonna do a job, do it right”?

(I promise I won’t mention those purely fictional Cubs hats with their ’48 throwbacks again. Oh, damn, I did anyway.)[/quote]

Best TBTC of the year so far (meaning most complete and accurate) must be the A’s-Rangers. Any others I’m forgetting?

I have a question, next year will be my senior year in football and i was putting some thought into wearing stir-ups for a game. Would this be a stupid idea since it isnt baseball?

Joe,
Credit for thinking outside the uni-box. But sadly, you would look like a tool. Stir-ups are for baseball. Wearing them for football looks like something that would be in a Will Ferrell movie.

Black socks and black-blue hats with pins for Mets today. They do that often?

I hope not.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before today, or if it is something new/something that has gone unnoticed, but Nick Leyva (Blue Jays third base coach) has the wrong crest on his black uniform. It has a big white border around it, which none of the players have, so I’m assuming it was a crest intended for white uniform. If anyone has MLB.TV and wants to check it out look at Rios’ & Wells’ at bats in the 6th, they showed him a lot then (at least on the Jays broadcast)

How much are you willing to bet that those Pink Panther head covers, pink shafts, and pink shirt for the caddie are because of a behind the scenes deal she made with the ad agency in charge of getting the word out about Pink Panther 2?[/quote]
I was thinking that maybe she was sponsored by Owens-Corning…

no…only the second time…and they are 1-0 (so far) in that wretched combo…fuckin sacrilege

on another note…was off the boards (obviously) from friday through now…and i LOVED…LOVED…LOVED the blue/grays…oh…i’d give ANYTHING for them to bring that back permanently…i’d even “allow” them to wear the black/blue caps with the pins…

well…no, not really…but that was a SCHWEEEEETTTT look (blue/gray)

Actually, unlikely that his strike zone is much different from yours.

Here’s something to try at your next softball game. Take a bat, and hold the knob at your “letters”. most likely the head of the bat comes down to your knees, approximating the strike zone.

Try it with adults of varying heights, and it’s generally the same. When you look at the picture of Kareem, you can kind of make out where his knees are… a lot of his height differential is in the lower leg.

Doesn’t work with Eddie Gaedel, but I’m 6’7″, and my strike zone is the same as my 5’8″ friends.

TIVO to the rescue… it was at the 67:26 mark of the game – Spain’s number 6… and it’s not embroidered. The letters are simply falling off. It’s down to SPE T.

Unless it’s slow pitch, where all it needs to do is hit the plate, to be a trike.

They used to do it a lot more often, but not so much anymore.

I actually kinda like the two-tone caps with the pinstripes. It’s got a retro look to it. The black sleeves and socks, however, should only be worn with black jerseys, NEVER with the pinstripes (because it’s fug) or the plain whites (because the blue on white looks a million times better).

lets try that again…

No. I was just explaining about the e-mail some of us might have gotten.

Yes. You’d stand out like a clown, and end up being the subject of a weekend uniwatch blog post.[/quote]

Not so fast, if you find yourself a pair with a nice stripe comb at the top, just throw a pair of ankle length white socks over the top and you will be major league old-school.

Hopefully you didn’t think I was serious, Phil. It’s like Dali came back from the dead to design golf attire.

Just noticed that when they show the Cubs logo as a graphic on ESPN it has a ™ in place of the ®.

As i watch the Astros vs the Dodgers tonight Home Plate Umpire Gary Cedarstrom (#38) is not only wearing the hockey goaltenders style of mask but the hockey neck protector. As a goalie myself, I love the protection that the protector gives, but this is the first MLB umpire I have seen wearing one. Sorry about not having pics. I’ll post some as soon as I can.
