We'll be back.
Red Sox Vs Yankees were the next 5?
I see what you did there...
Probably back then it was Yankees-Dodgers, as that seemed to be the World Series every other year. Or Giants-Dodgers. That made Yanks-Sox seem like an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood in comparison.

Schilling now off of Sunday Night Baseball. No matter if you think the tweet or offensive or not, it's had some excellent repercussions. The less Curt the better.

Leaving aside his moronic politics, was he bad as an analyst? I never heard him.

I couldn't stand Shilling as a person, but he wasn't a bad announcer IMO. Seemed to have good chemistry with his on-air partners. I also do not like 3-person booths for baseball telecasts FWIW and even saying that he didn't seem to fill up the telecast needlessly.

Bias alert.
As an analyst he's a pitcher and relates the game from the pitcher's point of view. Jim Palmer does the same thing for the Orioles broadcasts.

I don't know about this. A player with a 15-year career becomes eligible 20 years after his first game. You're excluding voters who saw half his career, while admitting voters who saw just a third of his career.
For a 20-year career, you're excluding voters who saw 3/4 of his career, while admitting voters who saw just a quarter of his career.
For a 20-year career who has been on the ballot for 5 years, you're excluding voters who saw all of his career, while admitting voters who saw none of his career.

What percentage of a player's career is a voter actually "watching" though. Unless you happen to be the beat writer of the team that player played for, anything you actually see of him is anecdotal at best.

But part of it is having a good understanding of the game itself during those 20 years, the candidate's contemporaries and where the candidate stood relative to them.

Fan falls over the railing in the 7th during the Yankees / Braves game. Game continues as EMT's worked on person before transporting them to local hospital. Area was caution taped off (from what I saw on Twitter). http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/819052 Game continued with no stoppage in play.
When will they extend the netting to the upper deck to protect drunks from falling?

Didn't see any report that the guy was drunk -- he was reported as 60 years old, which makes it slightly less likely. On the other hand, it's even more frightening if he wasn't drunk. That means the stadium isn't even safe for sober folks.

And my hunch may have been right.
This is the third death at Turner Field in it's short 20 year existence. They can't move to Sun Trust Park soon enough, eh?
I assumed, since it happened when Alex Rodriguez was being announced as a pinch hitter, that the fan was drunk and trying to boo A-Rod.
