I hear that with all the bad calls recently, they're considering allowing instant replay.

Yabut....

Apparently, they're only going to allow reviews on game-point plays due to the increased scrutiny that follows such crucial plays; and even then, only on whether the ball hit the table. Net serves will not be reviewable.

I thought it was because the refs couldn't handle the pressure.

That, too. They figured they had enough input from the knowledgable fans to take action. With replay looking over their shoulders, they're less likely to get caught up in the emotion.

Don't know if you guys caught this, but the Reds have posted grainy pictures for a 'wanted list' of several involved with the Tibetan uprising.

Don't you remember when he got hurt and dislocated his gump in a freak ping pong accident. Someone smacked his balls with a spiked paddle. YOUCH!
