Venezuela has beaten the USA in the WBC; you can bet that idiot will invade Venezuela to steal the trophy.

Good solid first win for the Yankees.

I have to say after a week of ABS I approve of it. It’s very quick and is limited so it’s not abused.

They admitted earlier this week it’s poorly calibrated and pointed at a position too far out ahead of the plate so particularly susceptible to missing the calls on breaking balls.

Hopefully they hire Webb to sort out their video review process

I’ve felt it’s got most right that I’ve seen.

Red Sox fired everybody. FSG classic.

Sell the team chants ringing out at Fenway this eve.

A fanbase that start every season joking that anything less than 162-0 is unacceptable.

And then you realize they’re not joking.

They are .500 the last 10 games which is better than 3 of the other 4.

It’s just that start.

A pitcher for the Dodgers just had a poor outing and someone sent his wife a picture of her kids and said he was going to shoot their whole family. She shared the message on instagram.

I’m guessing she isn’t the first to get such threats and aside from being an utterly deranged thing to do I believe this has to be related to rise of online gambling in America. It’s being pushed absolutely everywhere now and America is learning the lesson than England found years ago - sports gambling destroys lives.

But of course the billionaire class don’t give a fuck about that, they just see profit.

Bloody hell.

I hadn’t realised how badly some teams are off the pace.

Jeepers how many games do they play?? And why are Oakland and Houston at the bottom despite having won 38?

In PL terms, we’re roughly in early December.

I think that a season is about 168 games? That was back in the mid-90’s when I still followed baseball (Blue Jays won the ā€œWorld Seriesā€ back-to-back. Then the lockout/strike happened).
