The World Cup is played in several cities across the country, while the Olympics are in one city/area. The only infrastructure that could overlap is a stadium, and maybe a few hotels and public transit lines.

I'm not aware of any other Soxtalkers that live near Louisville, but if there are, or if anybody just wants to come down to check out the Knights, they play in Louisville July 25-28 (Friday-Monday). I'll probably go to at least 1-2 of the games.

They had to devote a lot of resources to be ready for the WC, which has put them terribly behind in getting ready for the Olympics. I don't know what the cutoff date is for how late you could pull the Olympics from Brazil and give them to another country (the US) and have it ready in time. Even with all the crap we have here, I don't know if there's one city/region that has everything needed to host an Olympics without building something. LA is probably the best bet. Giving the Olympics to Brazil was risky to begin with, giving it to them 2 years after hosting a WC was just flat out stupid.

If it left the pitcher's hand and wasn't going backwards, then he will swing at it.

Because my desk is 291 miles from USCF.

I'm sad at my desk 40 hours a week. So what?

I always list start times in the time zone local to the game.

Remember how Chicago lost out on the 2016 Olympics? Well . . . http://espn.go.com/olympics/story/_/id/107...mpics-premature

As long as the combined total is less than 12, I'm happy. I haven't seen very many major league records set in person and I'd like to keep that one for a while.

I can't believe CBS signed off on that.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tyler actually did that.

Have I ever mentioned how much I f***ing hate Connecticut? So sick of them. It's not a real state anyway--just a bunch of NY suburbs and ESPN.

Why play a baseball game at 10am???

Fine, then phrase your concerns differently, and don't say it right in front of the guy.

While we're on the subject of coaches from the state of Kentucky who are jerks, I have a friend who is a charter pilot and once flew Rick Pitino. After the flight, within earshot of my friend, he said, "Don't give me that pilot anymore, I want somebody old enough to shave."

Mike Brey isn't dirty, and if he is he's doing it wrong.

1) Johnson isn't pitching today 2) You have either Abreu or Konerko playing a position other than 1B

Compliance departments have been known to do stuff like that when it concerns high profile recruits.

It's always the head coach's fault. The head coach has final say over exactly how thoroughly the compliance department checks out players prior to enrollment. If there is something the coach didn't know about that makes a player ineligible, it's because the coach made an effort not to know about it.

Q (L) 0-0, 3.00 Franklin Morales (L) 0-0, 5.06 Full lineups later.

Possibly from having Final Fours vacated at UMass and Memphis due to ineligible players.

So will Peaches be cream(ated)?

Semien is 4-28. Beckham's job not even close to at risk.
