I will be without ESPN for the evening of the game. Does anyone know if ESPN3 is subject to blackout? I have internet delivered through Comcast in the Chicago area, if it makes a difference. |

Ohio State Wouldn't it be awesome to play them twice and in back to back weeks? Think of the revenue. |

I used to use the perennial success of Michigan to offset the perennial disappointment of the Cubs. And now? Now, I drink. |

Fair point. I didnt' mean to imply that strike zone judgement and out/safe calls or similar, nor that Halladay shouldn't have gotten his perfect game. I only mean to say officiating is , by definition, ultimatley at the discretion of the officials. Part of sports culture is living with those mistakes. That being said, if it had happened during Carlos' no-hitter, I probably would have wanted to see the posthumous correction too. |

Truthfully, it is not out of the ordinary for there to be a dozen questionable calls in a MLB game. Take, for example, Halladay's recent perfecto. He worked a ton of three ball counts and was afforded a pretty generous outside corner. I'm reasonably certain that by reviewing Pitch FX data or video, we could find a walk issued by Halladay. Of course, no one is advocating stripping this perfect game, even though the umpires judgement "changed history." I'd probably feel differently if I was a Tigers fan, but my gut feeling is that missed calls, even those of high consequence, always have been and always will be a part of the game. Go get 'em tomorrow, kid. |

I suspect self-serving bias, in that people seem to always support harsher penalties for everyone besides themselves. How many people would say we should be harder on burglars? Tax cheats? Drunk drivers? In that same line of thinking, I'm certainly hoping USC gets the hammer tonight. I'm likely to think whatever the NCAA does isn't 'harsh enough.' I'm sure I would feel differently if I were a USC fan. |

He's been on the higher end of the pitcher abuse points spectrum since he was 22. If he was going to have serious, long term arm trouble, it probably would have happened already. |
