Baseball cards and Addiction

I still haven't seen video of that ghastly error, I missed the end of the game..and I just went to youtube and they can't show it due to copyright law. How can you have a copyright on something in the news? I don't get it.

Not exactly a can of corn, but not more than 4 in terms of degree of difficulty. In that situation, ya gotta make the play.

You can tell right at about the 19 second mark of that video that the sun is just above the rim of the stadium behind home plate. He was looking into a major glare. That's what happens with these odd west coast start times necessitated by television. I'm guessing it was a much tougher play than it appeared from watching it on television.

i'm not jinxing anything, but that was probably the play of the series...having said that cards still had an 87% win probability after the error. bullpen fail ftl

Thanks to all...never went on that site before. Boy, that's a play that may define Holliday's entire career. What a shame.

The off season will be interesting for him. His fielding prowess demonstrates as a Free Agent that he may be better suited to be a DH but an earlier stint in the AL for him this year proved to be less than stellar. This is the same left field where Pedro Guerrero stood and looked up in disgust as Jack Clark's home run off Tom Neidenfeur (sp?) sailed deep into the stands sending the Cards towards the WS. Ah, the circle of life.

This story had me laughing so hard that I had to wipe my tears away. I feel your pain but it's also such a funny story. I usually always calculate maximum my bank account can sustain before bidding. Unfortunately I usually lowball my wife's spending activities.

He thought it was coming in slightly higher and he could catch it with his glove turned up, then at the last minute it sunk on him and he had to flip his glove down and just wasn't set properly. A Jack Dunn moment.

True on both accounts. Franklin has not exactly soothed Cardinal Nation's nerves lately.

Not in LA it wasn't. The sun comes in from over the 3rd base bag and shines right in the eyes of the right fielder. So far I've heard 3 excuses. He lost it in the lights, he lost it in the sun and he lost it in the waving white towels. All crap. He missed it. The sun is over 3rd base and the fans were walking out, not waving towels. The lights might be a problem but it was not dark there yet. He missed it.

Matt Holliday now has more in common with Fred Snodgrass than anyone else for the pre-war era!!!
