Unwritten rules to some sports.

[Japericho]

Baseball- Never bunt after the 7th inning when a guy has a no hitter.Never tag up to score more runs when you have a big lead.If you hit 1 of our guys we hit 1 of your guys.

Hockey- Never shoot in the net after the whistle.

These are just a few basic ones i am sure you guys can think of some good ones.

[biteyahard]

THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL...........

[Hardcore Legend]

Baseball - Don't steal when up big.

[biteyahard]

PUNT or KICK on forth down when you have a big lead;)

[Thrall]

PUNT or KICK on forth down when you have a big lead;)
Yes, exactly!!!:D

[JerseyDevil]

PUNT or KICK on forth down when you have a big lead;)

Never!! Especially when records are within an arm's reach! :D

[habs98]

When all possible CHEAT!!!!!!

[BIg_ALEX]

When all possible CHEAT!!!!!!

yup... if your not cheating your not trying :p

[heavymetalmachine]

Hockey - never hit someone along the boards when their back is turned ... err, wait a second ...

[BigMOCats]

Never give the Heisman to a sophomore!;)

[AndyMatz]

I didnt know there was an "unwritten rule" about not bunting after the 7th inning if a guy has a no-hitter going. Actually I cant believe that. Why would a team not do whatever it takes to get on base??

[starscream's ghost]

that hockey one isn't true. it should say don't shot at the goalie when the whistle has blown

It's a commonly known rule. It's viewed as a cheap way of breaking up the no-no.

[Japericho]

Robbie you know what i meant mr conjunction function major.

What if it's a 1-0 ballgame?

The no bunt rule only stands if it isnt a close game if the score is 1-0 then I dont see anyone having a problem

With the never tagging up thats wrong teams wouldnt like it so much if you just stop playing the game.

[bigblu89]

Yeah. I never heard the tag up thing either.

[Japericho]

It just related to not running the score up when your already leading big.

[Hardcore Legend]

What if it's a 1-0 ballgame?

Questionable. If you bunt to get on, don't be upset if you get drilled in the next inning with no one on and 2 outs.

[The_Guide]

What if it's a 1-0 ballgame?

A 1-0 ballgame with an infield shift on. I'd like to see how that plays out.

[BurningSoul]

Evidently don't yell at a Toronto 3rd baseman while he's trying to catch a pop up.

[AndyMatz]

What if it's a 1-0 ballgame?

Exactly what I was thinking. This situation should never have become an unwritten rule.

[EDBSIP]

take out your major stars if you have a lead that the other team has no (or next to no) chance of coming back from

[Captain]

I don't think bunting in a close game where the opposing pitcher is throwing a no-hitter/perfect game is an unwritten rule. You are trying to win the game and if a guy bunting to get the tying or winning run on-base is wrong, then I don't understand it. I don't remember "get the opposing pitcher the perfect game/no-hitter" as a courtesy given in baseball.

I seem to recall a game in the last couple of years where the team with the lead didn't tag up from third on a fly ball and the opposing manager blew up after the game about it. I'd say it's more of an unwritten rule not to go first to third on singles through the infield with a lead than it is not to tag up.

Or I believe Donald Royal getting a garbage Triple Double by missing a layup with 10 seconds left in a blow out to get that elusive 10th rebound

[Thrall]

Where did that about Jeff Gordon come from? I've heard things for so many years...Must be some sore-loser fans.

[tHe GaMe]

I also thought it was dont shot at the goalie after the whistle. I guess thats what he meant.

[ShakesO]

never cross center ice during pre-game warm-up.

Yep, if I was batting in the 9th against a no-hitter and I thought a bunt would work I'd try it... screw the pitcher. Its my job play hard and try to win the game... not worry about the oponents no-hitter.

[loudi94]

No, he was right. If you put it into the net after the whistle, you'll most likely have earned yourself a glove in the face.
Shooting the puck into the other team's net after warmup has been the inspiration behind many o' brawl.

Here are some of my unwritten rules.....

Do not slap ball out of a players glove like a biatch

If you are going to talk trash after getting hit or brushed, dont get stuck in the face first

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r306/kruze35/31pins_1_190.jpg
Do not scream at a player trying to catch a pop up like you are in t-ball

Do not cheat on your wife, Moses and God say its a sin that will put you in the fire pits of hell.

Someone has a thing for Arod lol:p

Maybe you can put this under the fight if you are the catcher and your going to be hitting someone in the face take of our mask and fight like a man

[ak4na2]

in football.. or soccer..

when someone scores a goal.. the next closest teammate to the goal must follow the ball into the net and kick it in again..

on the bunting thing.. curt schilling i believe had a perfect game in the 8th inning.. when someone on the padres bunted onto base.. it was a 2-0 game.. and the bunt led the padres to bring the go ahead run to the plate.. they lost like 3-1 or something.. the play resulted in the diamondbacks ripping into the padre player who bunted..

Can't touch the Stanley Cup unless you win it.

Can't touch the Campbell or Wales trophy (conference champs).

Don't shave until you're eliminated.

[petenfld]

Hockey - don't fight with your gloves on -- drop them!
Hockey - don't send your goons out at the end of a game against the other's top line
Football - don't video tape the other teams signals
Baseball - don't ask Barry Bonds stupid questions

I thought you just can't raise the Cup over your head unless you won it?

[Paul755]

that hockey one isn't true. it should say don't shot at the goalie when the whistle has blown

No I'm pretty sure he's right "don't shoot the puck at the net at all after a whistle" Because of it I'm always bothered when I see Basketball players shoot or follow through with a layup after a whistle. I always wanna see one of them get jacked up because that's what would happen in Hockey.

[brew]

No, he was right. If you put it into the net after the whistle, you'll most likely have earned yourself a glove in the face.

it's the truth, after an offside whistle, if you even put the puck close, you're getting a facewash..

Saprykin used to fire one in after warmups all the time here in calgary, it was a thing of his, and on occasion, the opposition would turn the net around so he couldn't :D

[porculator]

I know as a lacrosse goalie whenever anyone shot on me after the whistle or if they cranked it around the neck/chest/stomach area to try and get in my head, I'd ask the defense to hit them extra hard, or do it myself. I assume hockeys the same way

[rocco]

I believe that is for non-players like you or me. Players definitely don't touch unless they win.
