Middle of the night for you is when, 10 pm?

Saw a neat timing play (please correct me if that term in incorrect) between Toronto and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim where the runner heading home (originally R2?) seemed to slow up a bit and another runner was gunned out at third via a tag play.

They showed the replay up here in a split screen and the out occurred first, ending the inning (3rd out).

Officials were right on top of it!

Trout and Salmon and Pike, oh, my !
Water looks awfully cloudy. [Just read that it was at a river mouth, that'll explain the trubidity.]
I'll bet there's some light or sound thingy drawing those fish in.
Thanks, JR !
Interesting.

The new owners of the AAA PCL Portland Beavers want to change the team's nickname, even though the team has been the Beavers for over 100 years. One of the suggestions is the "Wet Sox"!

Even misspelled, thanks for using 'turbidity'!

How else do you spell turbidity to show that it was really, really trubid?

Boston beats the White Sox again, 11-1. They outscored Chicago 46-7! Meanwhile, the Yankees lost again pushing the Sox' division lead to 7.5 games. Should be a good set this week in the Bronx. Only 3 games, but it's going to help somebody's confidence going into September.
