He can't post the video, because it is evidence in the lawsuit, from the poor guy who tried to turn the DP.

Maybe I'll show you the throw personally... and you can stop bashing me.

Believe what you will until then though. Or past then. Or whatever the hell you want.

What's all this talk about "bashing" you? Who is "bashing" you? Your organizational skills and time management methods are being crtitiqued, sure. But, to accuse anyone of "bashing" you seems a little harsh on your part. If we didn't care so much, this would never have made it to page 48. I think you owe all of us an apology.

BTW, I'll be on the RF ramp underneath the K-board on Friday night. I'll try to arrange for someone to bring a camera. When the game is over, we can all head to the whiffle ball field at the Park in the Park and get this done.

uncleal, this event is now appx 48 hours away. I need to know whether you plan on showing up so I can arrange for a camera, and also to adjust my expectations for alcohol consumption. I want to be as close to fully sober as possible for this alleged demonstration live at a Major League Park.

In other words, spit or get off the pot.


I'm re-posting this for two reasons:

(1.) I still want uncleal to take one of these two steps.

(2.) The last time I posted this challenge to him, he responded in less than a week by threatening to ban us all from his Hale Bopp spaceship. That took the thread in such a fun new direction that I thought it was worth trying again to see how he responds this time.

I am human, except when I'm playing pretend alien on the innernet. I can only do so much and keep all my lying in order.
This is in his SLL league forum sign-up.

Actually, that is the truth. Patience truly is a virtue.

The lie is to suggest that this axiom has anything to do with Uncleal's claim to have videotaped himself turning double plays.

Uncleal wussed out on Friday's opportunity to present the throw for video at Petco Park. I had a group of people ready to man the other necessary field positions and camera ready to go.

Uncleal hasn't checked in here for awhile, so I figure with the end of the month upon us, it's probably time for a new excuse.

I'm disappointed. I was kinda hoping that he would attempt it at Petco and the video would somehow end up on the DiamondVision scoreboard and then on SportsCenter.

That would have rocked.

Can't we pawn this video off on somebody else? If I was handed and had a camera/crew, I would do it in a heartbeat! I'd try every move posted in here, and basically just make a gag reel. It'd be freakin hilarious. Every time I think of the 'salt shaker' I just start laughing.

I'll try to do it. Would it be the same if a right handed SS tried to turn a reverse double play? (1B becomes 3B, 3B becomes 1B).

Sure. But see if you can reverse the film, just so it looks real.
