Aussie Rules Football Is Punchtastic! In connection to the previous post about Sean Avery, this is what Brodeur should have done to him. And we think American football players are tough. Truth be told, it was a really cheap shot..... but funny.

Harry Caray's Been Gone For 10 Years It's been ten years since Harry passed away. A Hall member and one of the all time great baseball announcers, Harry made every game exciting. He worked for the St Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox, and Chicago Cubs where he is still beloved by all. Whether the game was 1-0 or 15-2, you just had to keep listening. He wasn't a cookie cutter announcer like is so prevalent today. I loved him and miss him. This Bud's for you Harry. God Bless You.

49ers Let Cardinals Off the Hook Tony Kornheiser was right -- the 49ers snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory must have been scripted -- or that's just what bad teams always do. The 49ers coaching staff and players totally mismanaged the end of the game. With no timeouts and less than 20 seconds, you keeping throwing -- or spiking -- the ball until the last play ... then maybe you run.

Samurai Mike was a great player, but he's got a long way to go to becoming a great coach. The last minute of last night's game was abysmal.

Fightin’ Phils are World Series champions After 28 years, and two days of waiting for the rain to stop so that Game 5 of the World Series could resume, the wait is over.
The Phillies are the champions.

As a Chicagoan and Cubs fan, I am happy to see the Phillies win. All of my relatives live in Allentown and when I visited them as a kid, we would go to the old Connie Mack Stadium (that's dating me), so I'm a Phillies fan of sorts. Congrats to Jamie Moyer, another ex-Cub to win while we continue to suffer.

Swedish hockey fans delay match with dildo downpour "We'd also heard mention of it, but we decided that it would only be worse if we went out and told the fans they were absolutely not allowed to throw dildos on the ice," said AIK club head Mats Hedenstrm to the newspaper.

Detroit fans have a long way to go to beat the Swedes or are those eight-legged dildos they throw?

Best High School Football Stadiums Check out the photo gallery of the stadiums described, including, of course, Stadium Bowl, the cool stadium in Tacoma, Washington, which was seen in the Heath Ledger movie, "10 Things I Hate About You." Also look at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans, flooded by Hurricane Katrina.

Now I know why my property taxes are so high. My local high school just spent 1.5m for artificial turf. These places are way over the top. My college stadium wasn't as nice. BTW dviking, to see the slideshow, shrink the photo to 75% and the scroll bar appears.

Baseball Hall of Famer YAZ hospitalized BOSTON - Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, the last player to hit for the Triple Crown, was hospitalized for tests Tuesday after experiencing chest pains. The popular Yaz was an 18-time All-Star and spent his entire career in Boston, taking over left field for Ted Williams in 1961 and playing through 1983.

Ditto knowsalittle. Yaz is one of the all-time greatest and classiest players to ever wear a uniform. I pray for his fast recovery.

Rays Walk Hamilton Intentionally with Bases Loaded The Tampa Bay Rays made history Sunday night, walking Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers on purpose with the bases loaded so they could face Marlon Byrd, who struck out to cement a 7-4 Rays win. The intentional walk was the first time in 107 years that an American League player was walked intentionally with the bases full and only the fifth overall since 1900. "You don't pitch to Superman when you have Wonder Woman on deck," said Rays closer Troy Percival.

What a chickenshit move. Intentionals walks for strategic purposes are part of the game, i.e. to generate the possibilty of a force out or double play when a man is on second or men on second and third. I never liked it when Barry Bonds was walked so often. What you're saying to your team is, 'I don't think you're good enough to get this guy out, so we're going to walk him and hope you don't blow it with the next guy.'

ESPN's Top Ten All Time Golf Shots [part 2] [part 3]

I'd have to add Sergio Garcia's second shot on the 16th hole at Medinah Country Club during the 1999 PGA to this list. He was against a tree and unable to see the green. I've played Medinah and that shot is unbelievable. From his location, he was hitting uphill to a raised green with a deep valley in front of it. He had his eyes closed when he made contact, because he was afraid the club would break when he hit the tree roots. After hitting the shot, he had to run up the fairway to see where the ball landed. It was his rookie year and had it not been for a guy named Tiger Woods, he would have won the tournament with that shot.

Sandlot ball going the way of wooden bats Sandlot baseball, a slice of American life enjoyed for decades by boys from coast to coast, appears on the verge of extinction. Nowadays, most neighborhood ball fields sit empty on summer afternoons, the idea of unsupervised play having gone the way of the rotary-dial phones kids once used to round up the fellas for a game.

I can relate dviking, but I'm a little older than you. For games with too few kids, we used to close off two outfields, catch for the other team (if there was a play at the plate the pitcher had to cover), and play pitcher's hands out. We played with as few as 6 kids, a pitcher, one infielder, and one outfielder per team. The batter got to call which field was open and everyone shifted. It was GREAT. And you're right Hater, the kids of today are too lazy and unimaginative to play like we did.

The Golf Channel had a doctor on that stated Tiger's knee is arthritic, so it's not going to get better. Unlike a football injury wear you tear an ACL, arthitis cannot be cured, so Tiger's future is questionable. Just like Johnny Miller's career was cut short, Tiger's could be, too....unless he has a knee replacement and becomes a Bionic Man.

Rocco by one with two to play. Does anyone know what happens if this ends up in a tie again? Sudden death? Another 18 holes?

Upon further review, He's out!!! MLB Pushes for some form of instant replay.
posted by firecop at 12:20 AM on June 14
Of all the major sports, I think baseball will have the hardest time making instant replay work, especially when it's about fair or foul home run calls. It's a big field with a small ball and we've all seen replays where you can't tell which side of the foul pole the ball sailed by. I think they're going to have to increase the number of cameras and probably mount one on top of both foul poles.

Gore was in the game? Now there's an inconvenient truth.
