MLB approves expanded instant replay. : Beginning this season, each manager will start a game with one challenge. If it is upheld, he retains his challenge but can never have more than two in a game. If the manager exhausts his challenges before the start of the seventh inning, he is out of luck, adding a new element of strategy to the game. Beginning in the top of the seventh, the crew chief is empowered to institute a review.

What's the case against Kent? Is it just his defense and his general douchiness?

The Brazilian female cohost has a dress that's practically painted on. God bless you, Spanish language television.
Portuguese. God bless you, Portuguese language television. The last thing you want is a bunch of pissed off lusophones.

MLB wants ARod off the Yankees payroll so they can field a decent team sometime in the next 10 years. Yankees mean a whole lot of $$$ to MLB.
Any Yankee fan would love to see his contract voided, I just worry about the precedent it will set if he is banned for life.

Why is Whitlock hating on Jigga Man so much?

It's like deja vu all over again.

Darcis was playing a good serve and volley game, obviously disrupting Nadal, who couldn't use his massive topspin to advantage. Serve and volley. It was like spotting a dinosaur.
I think their disappearance at All-England can be directly attributed to the slowification of the grass there

Clearly I am better at watching hockey then I am at predicting the outcome of matches. Good looks on putting this together Meaty.

I am in no way saying Rask is the next Brodeur. Saying Rask is not a good goalie because Boston is good defensively is what I am taking issue with.

You can make this argument about any goalie who played on a strong defensive team. For example:
I think the point is that Rask Brodeur was never that good to begin with. He is certainly a steady reliable NHL goalie, but the Bruin's Devil's team commitment to defense is the biggest reason for his success. Rarely do opposing teams get good opportunities close to the net. Rask Brodeur stops the first shot and the Bruins Devils clear the puck.
in other words poor argument is poor.

I had an awful second round, Pittsburgh played way better than I thought they would and the Rangers played way worse. That being said....

Until we get another "golden age" of American tennis, attracting viewers will continue to be a problem.
It's sad to think so many missed out on one of the greatest rivalries the sport has seen because Nadal and Federer weren't American.

OTT in 6 - Pens had trouble handling the physical Isle, I don't see them matching up better against the more physical Sens
NYR in 6 - H. Lundquist. That is all.
CHI in 7 - this one will be the series to watch. Great rivalry, power house Bhawks team versus the resilient Red Wings.
LA in 6 - This choice based purely on the history of SJ crapping around this time of year.
