I guess they expect you to jump in your car and drive to the stadium.

I have hated the HR derby since the days of McGwire. It ruins the hotter for a long time.

It went right over my head. Must be the heat. Thanks.

What happened to the other 3 games? Were they tied? Rain outs? Or cancelled for a lack of interest?

Don't worry about 27. It will take care of itself. The owners will lock out the players for most of the season.

I did not say a walk is a non-event. If you thought I did I apologize. In my playing days I lived off walks. My comment was that not all walks and all singles are the same. Leadoff batter who singles or walks is an equal outcome. Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, down by 1 with runners on second and...

As a "Roundball Sage" you are not limited to just basketball are you. Now that is truly wisdom.

First I want to say I am not the person to discuss the finer points of FIFA rules. (The broader points either.) I am not even saying your interpretation is wrong. I am saying for whatever the reason, Balogun's suspension reversal is not the first and only time this has happened. It did not set...

The precedent had already been set before Balogun. This is from ESPN:
