Both Lose
The Yanks losing in the afternoon was huge, as it guaranteed an 8.5 game lead going into the weekend series. Too bad we left a million guys on base and lost 2-1. Rays won, so the standings are:
Us
Rays a deuce
Orioles 5 and change
Yanks 8 point 5
All Others 15
The suspiciously fast recoverer vs. Doubront in game one, Friday night at Fenway.
Speaking of PEDs, how come people say the A-Rod thing is a witch hunt? Isn't a witch hunt justified when you're hunting an actual witch?
Know what's weird? All six first-place teams in MLB are within four games of each other.
And this replay thing: I of course love that they're gonna use it more, but I hate the "limited amount of challenges" crap. What if you challenge three times and are proven right each time, and then you have another bad call go against you? You just don't get to challenge it? Through no fault of your own? Anyway, I hope that now that everything can be reviewed, ballparks end that policy of not showing close plays on the jumbotrons. Now they should go all out and show them in super slo-mo and run them backwards and forwards over and over while the umps are making the decision.

If I'm reading the stories correctly, if a challenge is upheld it doesn't count as requested review. So if you make a request for a review in the third inning and it's upheld, you still have it available through the sixth inning. If it's declined, it's gone.
I think so, anyway. I could have this totally wrong. It's not easy interpreting Seligese by times.

But still, what if you run out and then there's an obvious bad call? It just flies by? Not allowed to fix? I really need to read up on the rules of this anyway. Thanks.
Or what if there's a bad call in the first inning, and they hold off on challenging it because they might need to save the challenge for an even worse call later in the game?
