  1. Millwall and Wigan offered a Championship lifeline as Rotherham have been handed a 3 point penalty for playing an illegal player (a Derby Loanee a day after his loan contract expired in early april) in a previous game, that means that rather then a 4 point lead with a game in hand, they're now one up. They still have a good chance of survival though, as Wigan and Millwall only have two games left and Rotherham have 3.

  2. The Nats might wanna work on their team defense

     

    Error, HBP (out) HBP, DOUBLE ERROR (Fielding and throwing), and then Fielder's Choice where they went the wrong way (had the guy dead to rights at the plate, but for some reason went to first).

     

    yeah, the Nats are off to a great start.

  3. Mookie Betts stole two bases on one play (the Nationals challenged both, which I thought was funny), then robbed Bryce Harper of a Homer, then hit a three run homer. Sheesh.

  4. FOr Americans, this is like Vin Scully dying, except Benaud was a national hero as a player before he became a commentator, and became an international hero.

  5. Farcial moment in the Women's U-19 UEFA qualifier in Belfast:

     

    England trailing 2-1, against Norway,  get a penalty in the 96th moment. England player steps up and knocks home the PK, except that a England player is marginally encroaching.. so.. the ref blows the whistle, but instead of a retake, the referee somehow decides that this deserves a Norway Indirect Free Kick, and 20 seconds later, the game is over.

     

    Since this was an obvious error, UEFA ordered the last 65 seconds of the game replayed with a new ref (the previous one had been sent home due to the mistake), but only after the two teams had played their third and final qualifier.. So, England wins their third game, and now it becomes clear. If England make the penalty, they qualify as the group winner, and Norway will have to see if they go through as the best second place team. Miss it, and England stays home.

     

    No pressure eh?

     

    Thankfully, the same player (mandated by UEFA) takes and again makes the penalty, and England win the group with the 2-2 draw. Thankfully, Norway go through as the second place team.

  6. Not a bad game 1 for the Sox, Bucholz goes 7 shutout, Betts with a homer, 2 homers from Pedroia, and five RBI (and two homers) from Hanley Ramirez. 8-0 win is very fine, thank you very much.
