This week in Sports Options

[DoubleJ]

I am going to start something called this week in sports, just because I can.


Rules:

Post something that you felt was noteworthy in sports.
You MUST know what the f**k you are talking about, and have the facts/links to back it up, just in case people call you out.
I will do baseball, and I will leave the rest up to the others, as I am sure that others will want to talk about Basketball (Tung) or Hockey(Teesa).


DOUBLE POSTING IS ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD!

You want referee inconsistency try the NHL. The same play, the same situation, completely different calls. Every game. It's ridiculous. All season if a player was pushed into the goalie and a goal made from it, they said it was not a goal and made the faceoff in that offensive zone. Game fecking seven of the eastern conference quarter finals, same stuff happens, and what? It counts? Flyers win in overtime thanks to the refs and their complete lack of consistency in keeping the rules. I can understand not calling minor penalties and icing and stuff during the overtime to keep the game going and keep things going quickly, but when it determines the fate of a team's position in the playoffs, that's kind of the wrong time to wave it off. The Capitals will forever have been eliminated by a bull call in their game seven, after coming back from a 3-1 game deficit. Ridiculous.
