Good call, you could hear it there on the replay.

YOU ASSHOLE

I'm not familiar with this "8-9 wins" phrase that you speak of.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 03:36 AM) Illinois' best defender doesn't have a first name, someone please give him one. 9/1/07- The slaughter of Illinois vs. Missouri in St. Louis. I can't wait to see another Illinois football team with moderate expectations for some stupid reason play like trash again. The last time we played the game was very close. I would expect similar results this year, though you are obviously favored. Either way, I'm glad we brought this game back.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 12:38 PM) I hate you. I'm with this guy.

That was a hell of a shot by Franzen with a great screen. Looks like SJ or Dallas will have to knock em off.

I hate the Red Wings, but goalie spears and cross checks in the back are not physical hockey.

Can someone merge the college football clock rules thread from the 2nd page of this forum with this one?

Heard about this on the radio from Farmio and Singleton during the broadcast. Some details: You can vote here: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/20/...in2709360.shtml I think it'd be cool to see a feature on Bossard and everything involved with taking care of a baseball field.

Federation rules actually say that you don't have to be all the way off the mound to go to your mouth; however you must wipe your hand off somewhere on your jersey/pants before going to the ball. You cannot go directly to the ball, as that would be applying a foreign substance to the ball. As far as blowing goes, you have to get the OK from the ump to do that, or you are liable to have a balk called against you. The safe thing to do would be to ask, and also 'wipe' when you are done. Most umps are pretty flexible with this, like if it's 50 or below, they won't have a problem with it. Of course, MLB is a different story as stated above - have to be off the mound completely to go to the mouth.

Arod with 2 hr's tonight thus far. Unreal.

Pens making a run would have been great for the NHL, instead we're stuck with another Canadian team in it = not good for hockey outside Canada. Sidney Crosby will be the best player in this league for the next 10 years, gotta love him.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) This is a pretty good list so far. My addition would be the esurance.com commercials, the cartoon with the guy and the girl. In every commercial they're in a different action sequence, but they NEVER talk about what they're doing. It's like: "Esurance is the fastest and easiest way to buy insurance and you can do it online" - que the huge monster, scantily clad chick jumps 500 ft in the air and blows up Nashville. Every time I just stare and think "what are they trying to sell?!" "It's just like, it's just like, a mini.....mall!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiHaqCFQLxA...ted&search= There's tons of em on Versus during the hockey games. They are all idiotic. All i know is quote buy print.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) i saw 'reign over me' last night. It was good, but I was expecting a little more. I just didn't care about the characters enough. I liked it. Very depressing, however.

- R. Cano flied out to center - M. Cabrera grounded out to shortstop - J. Phelps homered to deep left - J. Posada singled to center - J. Posada to second on fielder's indifference - J. Damon walked - D. Jeter singled to left, J. Posada scored, J. Damon to second - B. Abreu singled to left, J. Damon scored, D. Jeter to second - D. Jeter to third, B. Abreu to second on wild pitch - A. Rodriguez homered to deep center, D. Jeter and B. Abreu scored

All of it was, with no men on.

I can't believe what i just watched.

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere: National Orange and Maroon Day Nationwide Orange and Maroon Day has been established to encourage individuals to wear Virginia Tech colors this Friday (April 20).

From Jason Stark at ESPN.com Just when we'd decided it made no sense for baseball to try to schedule opening week around the weather, an assistant professor from Western Kentucky checked in to make us think otherwise. Greg Goodrich did a study on the historical frequency of lousy April baseball weather in six cold-weather cities. And he recommends that if baseball could avoid scheduling any homestands in those cities before April 10, it would reduce the chances of running into snow and sub-40 temperatures by (ready?) 80 percent. Yeah, 80. For instance, he says, the chances of a game in Detroit or Cleveland getting "weathered" out before April 10 is about once every two years. Afterward? It balloons to once every 10 to 20 years. Pretty impressive. You can read his whole study here. Now if he could just scrape that sleet off our windshield.

/cloud goes over sun for a few seconds /people whine "A bad day in Florida beats a good day almost anywhere else" Really? A BAD DAY IN FLORIDA IS A HURRICANE, ASSHATS Great commercial southwest airlines

Will be sleeping in my black buehrle jersey tonight, woot.

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 08:11 AM) Really? I remember in high school, you weren't allowed to plow through the catcher to try and score but you could try to elude him at all costs. The NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) rule book states that: "Runners are never required to slide, but if a runner elects to slide, the slide must be legal. Jumping, hurdling, and leaping are all legal attempts to to avoid a fielder as long as the fielder is lying on the ground. Diving over a fielder is illegal."

A few calls, especially the one at the end that caused them to throw stuff, were poor. However, that's unacceptable regardless of anything that has happened during the game. It wasn't just like one beer cup either, there was plenty of stuff on the ice.
