Baseball Heaven

is playing the Washington Nationals every day.

Another NBA rule idea

Though this is even more radical than the last proposal.

The Problem: a) There are too many fouls because the penalty for fouling is not a strong enough disincentive. b) Foul shots really destroy the flow of the game.

Get rid of foul shots. Use power plays instead.

Maybe a shooting foul corresponds to a 1 minute power play. That way, with a 24-second shot clock, the foul could be worth 4 points.

Power plays in basketball should be fun to watch, with all sorts of unbalanced attacks against 4-man zones. Like in hockey, it would be pretty disappointing to give up shorthanded points.

Peace, Happiness, and Brotherly Love in New York

The Yankees play the Phillies and the Mets play the Red Sox. All New Yorkers can embrace each other in the spirit of brotherly love.

Go Yankees!!

Nobody likes a critic

Just saying. This was running through my mind all day today for some reason.
