In a 7-games series, how can the team with home field/court advantage say they actually have the advantage, when the pivotal Game 5 is played on the non-home-advantaged (I would say underdog, but that's not always the case) home. The MLB and NBA use the 2-3-2 format. I believe this format favors the non-home-advantaged team because if they get a split in the first 2 games, then they can actually sweep at their home.<BR/><BR/>The only sport that has their playoff system correct is the NHL. They utilize the 2-2-1-1-1 format, despite having to fly across country. Hence, the home ice advantaged team has both pivotal games (5 and 7) at home.WuzUpGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432324921980566815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161882605242984272006-10-26T13:10:00.000-04:002006-10-26T13:10:00.000-04:00I missed the classles comments about Leinert's bab...I missed the classles comments about Leinert's baby...where they removed?Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305096508964522753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161878019070163232006-10-26T11:53:00.000-04:002006-10-26T11:53:00.000-04:00Simms wasn't benched by Parcels in favor of Hostet...Simms wasn't benched by Parcels in favor of Hostettler. He was hurt. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl. Parcels retired and the notorious Ray Handley benched Simms for Hostettler (a terrible mistake). When Handley and Hostettler left, Simms regained his starting position and led the GMen to an 11-5 record and the playoffs in is final year.Tinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03480948055056144609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161876902680276422006-10-26T11:35:00.000-04:002006-10-26T11:35:00.000-04:00Dan- Being that Joel Zumaya is your guy.... no men...Dan- Being that Joel Zumaya is your guy.... no mention of ZUMAYA-GATE????<BR/><BR/>In case you hadn't heard, there was a strange phenomenon in game 3. Zumaya was hitting 99-101 on the radar gun on Fox, as always, but, if you noticed, there were no oohs and ahhs for the normal three-digit figures on the radar gun. The reason was that there weren't three-digits on the stadium scoreboard. Those were the same numbers Carpenter had been hitting all night. Everyone knows that Zumaya's fastball is alot faster than Carpenter's. Apparently it was so striking that Justin Verlander was in the dugout and saw the numbers on the scoreboard and was concerned Zumaya was hurting from his injury again. He went up into the dugout and checked the broadcast and saw that they were the usual 99-101 and he said he was rerlieved. When someone asked Todd Jones about the anomoly he said "Maybe it was 95 Canadian. ... Or metric." And in case you were wondering, the MLB.com Gameday reading was on FOX's side. So what the heck was going on there. Some people think that they were de-juicing the numbers so that their hitters wouldn't be as scared. I think that may be the case. <BR/><BR/>Dan....your take?GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161876713181757002006-10-26T11:31:00.000-04:002006-10-26T11:31:00.000-04:00I usually just laugh at Michael Irvin and then tur...I usually just laugh at Michael Irvin and then turn the channel since I can't really understand him either.

They're going for the name change because students keep dying each year, but I don't ever hear people say, "I'm going to the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party™ this weekend!" It's more like, "Yeah, I'm going to Jax on Friday--you ever been? It's just one massive party. Awesome."

Think about the child support money Leinart will owe for the next 18 years. Since it is based on a percentage of his income, she is set for the next 18 years. I image she will earn more in child support than in salary for her full-time job.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else see this as a possibility, or am I thinking to rationally?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561089277086762996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161873306587014732006-10-26T10:35:00.000-04:002006-10-26T10:35:00.000-04:00Tiki didn't purposely "announce" his retirement no...Tiki didn't purposely "announce" his retirement now.
