Sports Injuries Gallery (NSFW; Well-Behaved and Unannoying Porn Ads): Oh, the Leg Breaks gallery is always fun for the whole family. My all time favorite is the Sid Vicious break. Unfortunately, no slow-motion video with 10 minute excruciating descriptions from color commentary people that we're all so used to.

What, no Moises Alou? I nearly threw up when he rounded second and broke his leg, foot hanging off at a strange angle. It didn't help that I knew my Scoresheet team was, as a result, going in the crapper... About the colour commentary - who needs to see someone get badly hurt from 6 different angles in slow motion? Certainly not me. Then again, by today's standards I seem to have a limited tolerance for that sort of thing.

Oh man, that's some stomach churning stuff. Theisman, Ventura and Sid Vicious were probably the nastiest things I've ever seen. And a shout out to alex_reno from another Scoresheet Canada player. Represent! I assume you're on the Scoresheet-talk email list, right?

As a guy who double-clutched himself when Alou left most of his career on the turf at Busch Stadium, I couldn't look at the really graphic sections. SF, what's with all the soccer guys with no underwear?

I still can't look. Just your descriptions alone make me squirm. Urrrrrrggggh.

Going waaaay OT... Actually, I stopped playing Scoresheet this year, because like almost everyone in my field, (IT) I am out of a job. I was on scoresheet-talk for a couple of years in the 90's (got slapped down by Gary Huckabay once, yay me. I was completely wrong, too.) but I eventually couldn't stand the volume of mail. Of course, now my email gets 20 pieces of spam a day, so baseball stuff would be a welcome relief. What team was yours? Would I know it? I was NL Reese 5. (Topeka Narwhals) We had a couple of years where we made some of Scoresheet's best lists. And accrued a trophy! (2 of my friends are in my league, one has been playing for over a decade, and neither have that cheesy Scoresheet Trophy. Ha!) Lex
