One ping only.

When the fielder catches a fly ball in foul territory, the batter will be out. What happens if the fielder fails to make the catch and the ball tips off his glove or body and falls to the ground? Would it still be a foul ball then?

Could the team on defense theoretically step into the stands in order to catch a flyball? I mean not only to lean over but literally step over the wall and get into the stands?

Simple. SNTAS.

Sleeping Next To Autobahn Syndrome.

Incidentally, I now live less than ten miles direct distance from Daytona Speedway. I think I''m going to get used to the Florida lifestyle real quick.

I slept in a hotel right next to German Autobahn A5 last month.
Same idea.

And now you are suffering from a SNTAS?

Who is the NASCAR champ this year?

It's gotten so bad that they are promoting Dana kilpatrick

He is not found yet. The struggle is still on the way.

Very nice!

Turning left now...

Can the drivers actually talk to each other via radio during the race?

Hab ihn nicht gleich kapiert, den Witz.

Nicht mal schlecht.

Thanks as always, Sabre.

Now let's cut the crap and start betting: What's your guess on both series now? I'd say we are going to see a re-match of last year's World Series with the Yankees and the Phillies.

Who gets the home field advantage for the League Championship Series?

Can you switch the channels on these headsets or do you have to stick to a driver once you got it? What if this driver screws up in lap 1?

There is an exciting competion going on at the moment for the division title in the AL East between the Yankees and the Rays. It seems, however, that due to their excellent records both teams will make it to the play-offs. What are the disadvantages for the runner-up? Why is it so important to win t...

Microsoft has announced a brand new flight sim called Microsoft Flight. Not an awful lot of details out yet.

You can see who did what by going to the game wrap-up, and clicking box score or play-by-play.

There are a lot of abbreviations I am not familiar with.

AB ??? (advanced bases maybe???)
R - Runs
H - Hits
RBI - Runs Batted In
BB???
SO???
LOB???
AVG - Average

Talking about Daytona, I wonder if you would prefer being in the infield or on the stands? Second, if I will go for a seat on the stands, do you think it is better to be seated higher up in order to get a better overview or do you prefer to be seated lower in order to be closer to the action? I und...

The other day TB Rays' Matt Garzer tossed a no-hitter in the game against the Tigers. However, there was at least one situation where there was a runner on first base (and the defense performed a double play later on). This leads to the question, how the runner got there in the first place when he m...

By the way, the Mariners beat the White 2-1 with a 2-run walk off single in the 11th.

The pickoff: When a runner takes a large leadoff from a base, the pitcher or catcher may quickly throw to the base in an attempt to catch the runner off guard and have the fielder tag the runner out. The link below will show a new technique of the pickoff that was used successfully last night. http...

Doctor, what is your take on the Mariners? I have a ticket for $9 for the Wednesday game against the White Sox and I want to spend the rest of my budget on beer and bets. Thanks in advance.

You better sell the ticket and put the $9 on a bet on the White Sox.

The infield is filed with drunks. The stands are just filed with alcoholics.

As long as the alcoholics are sober during the race I couldn't care less.

What is a "pinch-hitter"?

[quote="sindeewell"What do you want to know? I have frequented many Nascar races though I am from the "North". Yes it is a predominantly "Southern" flavoured event but as you head to Dover (DE), Pocono (PA), Loudon, (NH), Watkins Glen (NY)...and even Michigan, you get m...

You could combine a few of these as the Top Gear team did when they drove through the deep south with cars adorned with "gay pride" "Man Love" and "Hillary for President" Yeah, I remember this very show. Quite funny. But this raises the most interesting point about the...

Sir Henry: Red Man is chewing tobacco that comes in a foil pouch and has an Indian on it. Got it. Two numbers are sacred in NASCAR; "3" for Dale Earnhardt, Sr., who died at Daytona in 2001 Yeah, I will stand up in lap 3 and raise three fingers. What about: Putting up a rainbow flag? Weari...
