Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

Overheard on TBS

It seems so odd that TBS landed the MLB Postseason through the LCS. TBS is usually reserved for Braves games and Home Improvement reruns.

At any rate, I'm sitting here watching the Cubs-"D-Backs" game and the commentator brings up Livan Hernandez and how he was the youngest starting pitcher in the 1997 World Series since Doc Gooden. Except, of course, Jaret Wright (10 months younger than Livan) broke that record promptly 3 days later when he started and won Game 3.

The commentator insinuated this record was impressive and still alive. We know Livan's isn't, ovbiously. Is Jaret still the youngest to have started a WS game?

Re: Overheard on TBS
Is it that big a deal that they got it wrong? I mean, you see the guys on PTI make mistakes everyday. They're reporters with a research staff!!

Re: Overheard on TBS
On PTI the guys are always told how they are wrong at the end of the episode.

Yes, it matters when they report blatant inaccuracies.

Re: Overheard on TBS
There are 'important' inaccuracies, like misquoting batting averages and whatnot. And then there ridiculous little nuggets in the class of - "youngest player who crapped bricks on a Wednesday", "player who hit two homeruns on the day his mom went to a Styx concert", etc.... This is a dumb fucking record. It would be nice if they corrected it, but my understanding of the game wasn't destroyed by it.

Re: Overheard on TBS
a just snorted beer while reading the part about the mom and the styx concert.

there have been so damn many funny comments this week, but for my money that is the best of the lot.

i don't want to alarm y'all, but i think it's time to pump out some glitter.
