For those of you who haven’t followed the World Cup, or tuned into SportsCenter for at least the past week, Uruguay’s Luis Suarez saved his team from a certain World Cup exit against Ghana - when he deliberately used his hands, while standing on the goal line, late in a tie game with Ghana in the quarterfinals, thereby preventing what would certainly have been the winning goal… at least for a few moments.

So last weekend, my father-in-law and I go to The Travelers, a PGA tournament held in northern CT each year. Been around a long time, good tournament. They don’t get all the top players, but do get a fair sampling. I believe I hear 8 of the top-20 (something like that) - not bad for what is fairly considered more of a “lesser” tournament on the Tour. We decide not to follow any specific group, but rather take a route that covers several of the better holes on the course - and in so doing, expect to see many (if not all) of the golfers on the day. Fine.
We’re sitting off the 2nd green (good spot - as you can also see the 4th green, and the 3rd tee).

Last week, Jonathon Broxton of the Dodgers came into a game with the Yankees in the 9th inning with a 4 run lead. The Yankees scored 4 runs to tie it up. (Yankees won in extra innings) Broxton did not get a blown save. It wasn’t a “save situation” originally, therefore there was no “save” to officially blow.
So even though he blew the game for his team in the ninth inning, he still “only” has 2 blown saves on the season. Yup… makes perfect sense to me.
So apparently there is great debate over whether Strasburg should go to this year’s All-Star Game or not. Given the givens, I don’t understand why. He clearly should go. Let me ’splain: (more…)
So Lebron, Bosh and Wade may or may not have had a “Summit” in Miami last weekend and/or they may or may not have spoken/met previously and/or since. The papparazzi are all abuzz because it appears as though these top FAs may be colluding and conspiring to play together and form a “superteam”. What amazes me is some folks seem genuinely upset about this. To wit: (more…)
