Morning Blogdome: The MLB Might Not Have This Instant Replay Thing Figured Out Just Yet
• It only works if you hit "replay": "The first night Major League Baseball tested instant-replay equipment at Citizens Bank Park, it had a controversial home-run ball in the seventh inning in the Phillies' 8-2 loss to the Florida Marlins.Shane Victorino's two-run homer off Renyel Pinto looked foul on instant replay. Third base umpire Dale Scott called the ball fair and the umpires conferred after the Marlins protested. But the call stood, cutting the Marlins' lead to 4-2. Scott acknowledged after the game that the ball was foul. Unfortunately for the Marlins, MLB was testing the equipment it could use in the future only to see how it works. In other words, umpires had no opportunity to run to a TV screen to check it out."

No, really: “They’re helping me find things that will enable me to heal faster – soft tissue and different types of flavors and drinks that I should be drinking to speed recovery after my workouts and pre-workouts. … Before it was just all on-course stuff with the three flavors I was playing, but now it’s different. Now we’re into recovery drinks so I think it’s helped me a lot.” [ SBB] • Bernie Kosar owes everyone money: The former Cleveland Browns' quarterback and Hurricane legend is apparently a little behind on his taxes.

Yet, just when I started to feel sorry for myself, I thought of Wendy Nix. " [ The Sports Daily]
