Never understood the logic of the award of the win to pitcher who did not do his job at all. Today a White Sox pitcher pitches a great game and leaves with a 1 run lead. Eight inning a reliever comes in gives up the tying run and almost more. Team takes the lead and wins in the nineth. The...

Does the runner on second count as an earned run against the pitcher? The Sox are up 4 runs in the bottom of the ninth. Will pitcher get credit for a save since with no runner on , he would have had a three run lead?

So Major League Baseball is thinking about pulling the All-Star game from Atlanta due to the new Georgia Voting Law. Dave Roberts of the Dodgers is to be the manager of the National League All Star team. He said he will have to make decision on whether he would decline to manage. However, MLB...

With two minutes on the clock at the 2or 3 yard line, Kelly decides to try for a TD. A field goal would require Florida State to get two touchdowns, 2 2-point conversions and 2 onside recoveries. Probably at less than 1/100 of 1% of a chance. But with 2 minutes to go, now they would need a...

Either umpires are getting worse or the strike box is incorrect. It seems that I have seen more errors (compared to the strike box) than ever before. Last night I saw a ball called on a pitch that was at least one ball width below the top of the zone and in the middle of the box. The very...

So the Yankee's have dropped Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America". The reason was that in the early 1930's she sang some songs that are considered racist. Can't put up with that. I wonder if they will now drop reference to all Yankee history up to the point Jackie Robinson entered...

It appears that Smith wants his bonus guaranteed if he is suspended for breaking the new rule. Suspension only occurs based on "intent", i.e. identified as launching head first on a linear plane. It would imply that that is what he intends to do, does it not? Accidental leading and hitting with...

Just read that the Arkansas women's tennis team finished 10 and 16 but needed to be at least 500 to make the NCAA tennis tournament. So, they learned from Alabama (Mercer late in the season, although scheduled previously) and scheduled (at the last minute) Tennessee State to play six matches in...

Did anyone on the Selection Committee ever take a Geography Class. This has nothing to do with which Region to put a team (for seeding purposes) but where the games are played. 1st Round of the South Region, Location Boise , ID Teams: Kentucky, Davidson, Buffalo, and reasonably Arizona. But...

So Villanova is leaving on Monday to get to Buffalo for Thursday's game. Probably will win on Thursday and Saturday and then off again next week. They are University representatives not students unless each player has a tutor who is qualified in each of the courses they are taking. Old story...

Watching Denver and Cincinnati. Denver throws an incomplete pass and is flagged for illegal receiver downfield. Referee explains the penalty and announces that the penalty is declined. Sets the ball down with the play clock at about 5 seconds and Denver must call a timeout. That means the...

When a runner goes out of bounds, when does the clock stop until the next snap in the college. I know that it only stops until the referee sets it and whistles it ready for play early in the halfs. At some point either at 5 minutes or 2 minutes isn't supposed stop until the next snap? But...

I have been watching the college basketball for years and don't know the answer to this. I have seen (usually earlier in the game) on an inbound play that a defensive player holds or pull an offensive player and is called for a foul even before the ball is inbounded. If the bonus is in effect...
