The great thing about Sportscentre
is that it’s the same logo as Sportscenter, just spelled differently.

Being in Canadia is confusing.
It also will be shown live in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and Sportsnet HD and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International.
But I don’t think we get Rogers Sportsnet here…weird.

I guess I could invest in that...
But then again, they use a horrible format that doesn’t play well with linux.

fth does this mean?
[A] fan participant - Bennett Hayes of Brimfield, Ill., - will be asked to “call a shot” before the finals. Hayes will indicate which part of the stands - left, center or right - he thinks one of the participants can reach. Using a new red ball, the two finalists will attempt to smack it into that general area.

Here's my question!
according to wikipedia the song “Friend of the Devil” (Grateful Dead) has been covered many times. However, they don’t list very many people who covered it. From my research I’ve found that it has been done by the Counting Crows and Lyle Lovett, and played in concert by Tom Petty.
My question is, who else has covered this song, and did Tom Petty release a version of it on an album?

nah, he'd probably try to bunt
because he lacks baseball savvy
Apathy - I could take it or leave it.
Dusty would definitely tell him to bunt
because he thinks that makes him more likely to hit it out on the next pitch.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I haven't a clue, really
But he’s not really known as a power hitter these days.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He wasn't then either
He’s only hit 30 twice. His slugging percentage topped .500 four straight seasons by the age of 28 but has only done it once since then.
Apathy - I could take it or leave it.
Yeah, but
he hasn’t even broken 20 since then.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
So...
...he’s getting old, and his home runs are turning into doubles? The reverse of what happens with young players, whose doubles turn into home runs as they mature?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
No
he’s always hit doubles. My point is that he’s never been a home run hitter, just that he occasionally hit home runs. (Can a stathead speak in sportswriter jargon?)
Apathy - I could take it or leave it.
Could be just a fluke, I guess
But his home runs really have dropped since he won the home run derby. Not suggesting it’s cause and effect, but I think going from 20 to 30 a year to 15 a year is significant.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, I think it was something like 42 in the Derby
and 47 ever since then.

Brent, havanaconnection, and gay jesus have really livened up RR lately
I got 99 problems but a job ain't one.
Josh lost it because he's too good a guy
I think his pitcher lost his velocity after the 80th pitch or so. Josh started swinging at a lot of pitches that weren’t very good—he was trying to keep the pitch count down. But you can’t hit it 518 ft unless there’s a little bit on it.
But that guy was his coach or something in high school, and it was a really big deal for him to be pitching in Yankee Stadium. I’m sure Hobbs could have had anybody he wanted as his BP pitcher—he chose somebody who deserved it.
And he stuck with him, even though that probably lost him the Derby. Good man, Josh.
(At least, that lets me feel good about the whole thing.)
But during the broadcast
They said he asked his pitcher to take a little off it partway through the third round, because he was having trouble hitting it.
If that’s true, it doesn’t sound like the old guy was struggling.

I stepped away from the TV to partake in the wisdom of Brent Breck, but I saw this morning that Rick Reilly mentioned something about how the ball sounds different coming off of Hamilton’s bat, and the last time he’d heard that sound was from Bo Jackson.
