It's been like the 1980's around here. The Cubs have new ownership and there are real, honest-to-goodness leveraged buy outs to work on. The latter has taken up the bulk of the time of this writer. Regardless, everything seems like a replay of decades ago. Speaking of replay, it's interesting how much instant replay has been the focus of the sport world of late. The Major League Baseball playoffs were...

Just a quick observation on the contrast between sporting appreciation in America and other sports around the world. This year we have seen an ecstatic Andrew Strauss lift the hallowed little urn of the Ashes, the captain of Man Utd lift whatever cups they won this year and never did we see any owners or Chairmen anywhere near the podium. Imagine the feeling of the English public if the often vilified...

CHICAGO — Baseball general managers failed to take a vote on expanding instant replay following a postseason filled with blown calls by umpires. Baseball began video review late in the 2008 season, but only to determine whether potential home runs were fair or foul or cleared fences. Commissioner Bud Selig said he opposed expanding replay but that baseball would review its implementation. Jimmie...

by Jeff Fletcher Filed under: MLB Umpires CHICAGO -- Major league general managers either have no interest in expanding the current replay system or they realized the futility in debating something that ultimately owners and commissioner Bud Selig must decide. Either way, they concluded their first day of formal meetings without any discussion of expanding the system. Jimmie Lee Solomon , MLB Executive...

by Terence Moore Filed under: Yankees , World Series NEW YORK -- Oh, it was a loaded question, all right. The guy that I expected to answer was Bud Selig, whose role as baseball commissioner expands beyond the new sacred walls in the Bronx that feature the plaques of Yankee greats.

When they won: Blah blah yankees bfd... would be curious to see what post-WS jumping looked like 20 / 30 / 60 yrs ago. Any hunches? I received some replies to this with links to videos from the 50s, in which it appeared the winning teams did the same sort of celebrating the Yankees did last night.
