Highlights and lowlights from the ASG

By , 12:25 AM

#1 highlight:  Josh Groban’s singing of GBA.

#1 lowlight: Edinson Volquez’ hat.

It was interesting that with almost everyone wanting the game to end (I assume), the home plate umpire, Cousins, calls the winning run out when he was clearly (at least if you watched the replay) safe by a mile even though the throw beat him.  I guess Cousins was positive that he was out, even though he was wrong.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
