World Records Having the contests in Japan sure messes up any viewing schedule. So, since I dislike commercials (ok, maybe not Geico) we recorded the NBC prime version and watched after dinner. This meant that I could not listen to most radio or TV stations during the day. The Women’s Gymnastics has been hashed over […]

Rules are Rules Ted Lyons, Chicago White Sox, pitched a 6-0 no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. In 1 hour and 7 minutes. Today it would take 1 hour and 7 minutes for the ninth innings as networks and MLB want to advertise more. Some managers would take him out in the 7th or 8th […]
