Why did I not know until now that the folks behind Gawker had started a sports blog?

(Okay, probably because I haven't had the time to read Gawker in years, but still, I can't believe I missed this).

Oooh, thanks for sharing. That's a cool blog. I've added it to my links list.

So what did you think of that call last night in the ALCS?

I think Bengie Molina called it right -- if there's even the slightest bit of doubt, every catcher in the majors instictively tags the runner. Which means that Paul either clearly knew he caught it, or that he bollixed things up so badly, he could be the goat of the series.

Tag the runner. I've seen catchers do it even when it was clearly caught. Just to make sure. Baseball is a game of making sure. How many times do you see the shortstop or 2nd baseman tag a runner on second multiple times before throwing the ball back to the pitcher?

It was a bad call, but it was also bad baseball on the Angels part.

Thanks for listening and thanks for the link.

Its like Wonkette for sports except slightly less snarky!

The guy who edits it used to run (still runs?) Black Table (http://www.blacktable.com) - he's a super cool guy. I don't know if I get to say we're friends, but we're Friendsters...does that count? ;-)

Hey, in this day and age, Friendsters means more than "friends" most of the time.

I'm embarassed to say that I'd never heard of Black Table.
