Since I'm kinda still in someone's doghouse, I don't get recommended for any regionals. I did, however, get the plate on the MIAC conference tourney final between St. Thomas and Gustavus.

Ken is doing a little better. They are trying to find a way to fly him home. I think they have a service that is going to help. Do you visit his caring bridge site?

Exactly - I think the walls are already built. Just waiting for the sign above the opening.

Batter is out and runners that advanced to 2nd and 3rd returned to original bases.

Is this an NCAA rule or is it an ASA rule? I had never heard of this before.
I saw it. Damn good call and you know when the talking heads get it right, even the 8 yo in the stands knew what happened. Everyone by the BR knew what happened. From the coach's reaction, I think he expected the BR to know better.

The talking heads, of course, couldn't leave it alone and analyzed the **** out of the play to the point of idiocy, but we should not be surprised by that.

I am a firm believer that every network should assign an asst. producer to every booth with a queue card for the announcers that simply states, "Shut the **** up!"

Mike, admit it, you're secretly hoping that John Kruk will be on hand to provide color commentary again in this years WCWS. :D

The sad part is that even with his little ball-based analogies, he was still closer to the target then the softball "experts".

You could twitter them and tell them what you think. Imagine the talking heads getting 20-30 twitters about a play. They might learn something and share it with the public.

There are enough twits involved already, don't need to add to it.

Heaven forbid they know the rules of the game they're being paid to discuss on TV. :(

They're not paid to know the rules. They're there to fill up dead air with hot air.
