Don’t know if anyone’s seen this, but the Colorado Springs Sky Sox have unveiled a new logo/color scheme. Seems pretty generic minor league kinda stuff:

Good catch of bad news. The old Sky Sox look was unique (Green and Silver, great cap logo). Now they’re one of about eight thousand pro baseball teams to wear RWB. Nothing wrong with RWB, but it is nice to see a team wear something else.

Apparently the announcers don’t get it…they kept saying that if Pena hadn’t batted in that run, then that would’ve been it for the Rays cuz MLB would’ve called it and the Phils would’ve won. Obviously, MLB would have NEVER called the game if one team had the lead…they were just praying for a tie at the end of the inning.

either that or you would have had the longest rain delay in history…no way were they gonna decide a world series in a six inning game

There is nothing in the book that says “these are the rules, except when it’s the last game of the World Series”.

Apparently there is.

Yeah, apparently there is. Check near the end of this article for this tidbit: “Selig said he determined [before the game] Saturday in consultation with the two general managers, Philadelphia’s Pat Gillick and Tampa Bay’s Andrew Friedman, that the Series would not end on a yellow, as the NASCAR kids like to say.”

you can’t change the rules on the fly. It would be tantamount to fraud. They are RULES not suggestions. There is nothing in the book that says “these are the rules, except when it’s the last game of the World Series”.

while i agree with you, much like the 2000 election, you’d have half the nation thinking they wuz robbed…even after they went back and counted all the votes after the supreme court decision (and bush still won), mlb would have had a HUGE black eye

i think they would have tried to get a full 9 innings in even if it meant restarting the game at 2 am

Not quite. If they counted by the standards Gore was pushing for, Bush would have won. If they counted by the standards Bush wanted, Gore would have won.

And that’s your little political trivia tidbit for today…

bud just changed 150 years of history (or WOULD have if pena hadn’t saved his ass)

At least there’s no black.

they did not count all votes in 2000

yes they did…it just wasn’t widely reported because it confirmed a bush victory…something the media has, to this day, neither forgotten nor forgiven

from that article:

JTH said:

the analysis concluded that … even if the Supreme Court had not stepped in to block a statewide manual recount, Mr. Bush would have won.

Also in that article is something that seems almost like a foreign concept today:

JTH said:

…how do you challenge a president who is basking in job approval ratings of close to 90 percent?

So what are the odds that weather.com crashes from so many hits on Philly’s forecast?
