Former newspaper guy. Yes, I like pina coladas, college football, the Steelers and soccer. Take nothing I post seriously - unless it's about BBQ or beer.

Shades of Jeffrey Maier in the Bronx! Anthony Volpe's blast to left field is pulled into the stands by a fan. After initially being ruled a game-tying home run, it's overturned on review and ruled a double.

About 20 year ago, I was a sports editor in a 220k MSA. Local developer was pitching a minor league stadium financed by the city. Brought in a "consultant" to lobby. I asked "How many times have you told a city this is a bad idea?" Consultant was flustered by that question from a sports guy.

As a marketing guy, I've long suspected that will be in play - if it isn't already. I remember back when search engines didn't take ad dollars to rig results. Now you can't search for Diet Coke on certain shopping sites without having to scroll past "promoted" results for Diet Pepsi first.

What's the real scariest place to play at night? Apparently Vandy. Their win percentage at night is 13.1% better than during the day. Also, Kentucky, you're better off in the daylight. (This is stupid simple W-L counting and not controlling for anything. Feel free to use it to troll.)
