thank you to all......representing, snaqwells, hartsy, jurassic referee....for giving me one hell of a headache (caused by simmering laughter followed by a violent slam of my had against the nearest wall)!

i was curious to see how long this discussion (which is a complete waste of time) would go (boy there's 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back...)

can I make a suggestion to everyone who posts on this board? stop having to always be right.

you all are saying essentially the same thing and arguing over who is right and who is wrong because you have an insatiable desire to be right and prove others wrong....

while we officials strive to "always be right", please understand that is a goal that can NEVER be accomplished....

back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Feel free to stop reading my posts, you wouldn't be the first. How's the air up there?

No problem. From now on I will only post wrong answers to questions. In my case, that won't be too difficult to do.

Shooting at the wrong basket counts double for the team that scored, but then the player that scored in the wrong basket gets a two minute penalty and his team has to play four against five, unless he's physically restrained by the third base coach, in which case it's intentional grounding. How's that?

Maybe we should incorporate some sort of penalty box mentality to basketball on unsporting Ts. On top of the current penalties, the offending team has to play short for 30 seconds.

The only problem with this idea is it won't affect some players. Someone like rockyroad or Chuck would be happy to only play short for 30 seconds...

Anyway, can you imagine the student at the clock who is texting their friends during the game trying to operate a second penalty clock?

No problem for chseagle. He could do it blindfolded, with his hands tied behind his back. Wait a minute? Is this the S and M chat room?
