    This was one I wasn't familiar with either, which is why I dug into it a little. 1) The rule book includes several "approved ruling" examples for 4.09(b) which include various batted ball scenarios. So they're countenanced by the "..or any other play.." clause as well. 2) But don't take my word for it: Crew chief Larry Vanover calmly cited Rule 4.09(b) and explained variations of it to Price, who said he was not contesting the runners going to home or first. "They were asking, 'Can we throw it around and tag all the bases and get forceouts?' In that situation, you can't," Vanover explained afterward to a pool reporter. "First of all, they didn't play the ball. The infielders were leaving the infield. The runner from third touched the plate and the runner from the plate touched first. Those two things right there met the obligation of the rule. When that run scores and the batter has touched first, the game's over." http://m.mlb.com/news/article/142241418

    So if they had just touched 3rd first and then thrown to 2nd the DP would have still counted and the game would have gone to the 11th, correct? But since they touched 2nd first then that made the play at 3rd a tag play so the run counted. Crazy crazy crazy. No. Runners on 2nd and 3rd don't factor in the rule governing game-ending, walk-off scenarios with the bases loaded. That said, personally, unless facing death or dismemberment for doing so, I'd prefer my guys always touch the next bag and then do whatever. Would be a heckuva time to misremember the rules.

    Lackey was at 95 pitches after 5. He finished 7, at 106 total.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen this game before

    Well deserved for Keith. Though I'm sure there's a contingent nationally that thinks it should've gone to LeBron.

    Haha!

    2 goals feels like a rout in this series

    They really should play clown car music any time NBA referees huddle about a call.

    Poster child for throw it on net and see what happens

    It's a real shame for FIFA that this all came down smack dab in the middle of his term. Instead of, you know, at a time when an alternative could be conveniently elected. :roll: Guess as things stand, we should look forward to World Cups in developing markets for the foreseeable future.

    That roar after a goal on the road in a game 7 is awesome
  21. Billy_Buck
    Wow. What a week.
  22. Billy_Buck
    Maybe Cuban was right, and they should have tanked
  23. Billy_Buck
    We've had our share of that
