Awesome commentary indeed. Also Lol @ the defense blitzing on every play.

jesus I totally didn't see that ending coming. that was ****in' nuts.

Yea the Tyler/Plano game is so insane.

i think the best is the tense grunt from one of the commentator as Tyler is scoring the winning touchdown.

That whole set of clips is like a how-not-to-coach tutorial. Blitz like mad when you're up huge and they're continually running screens. Then make sure you kick off deep with only a few seconds left and don't leave any safety guys back. wtf.

Wow, sports at its best right there. And damn sucks they lost that game. Such is life.

seriously one of the funniest things i have ever seen

Garnett post game NBA Finals

I was personally at this game, the final game of the 2004 regular season.

Kobe hit three amazing shots, including a SICK and ridiculous one over Ruben Patterson to just SEND the game to OT, then he WINS it in OT with another clutch bomb.

One of the sickest things I have ever witnessed in person.

Switch Hitter vs. Switch Pitcher

cryme - didn't see the whole video but I did see it was the Staten Island Yankees so it's my hunch that this is the kid out of Creighton University who had a few stories written about him semi-recently.
It's not the most common thing in the world but it does happen occasionally.

Greg Harris did this in a game in the major leagues for Montreal I believe in 96 late in the season just to get his name in the record-books but his ability to pitch with both arms really was somewhat legit.

I knew a guy with a minor-league team in Johnstown, PA in 95 named Jaime Irving who could do this. He did it quite a bit as a pitcher at Harvard.
Naturally his nickname was "Bi."
He had a similar switch glove as the guy in the video which I would sometimes borrow if I wanted to shag flies or something because I am left-handed and we didn't have many lefties on that team who could loan me their mitt.
So I actually had a little bit of experience with such a reverseable glove. It was more flat than a regular glove with a bigger and more flexible pocket to be switched around whenever. It was kind of word but functional. I wouldn't want to be playing 1B with one of those things though.

The Johnstown pitching coach [Wayne Rosenthal who was also a pitching coach for a couple major league teams later on] considered it like having an 'extra arm' in the bullpen and everywhere we traveled the other team's radio guy would ask me about the 'typo' on the roster because of 'S' under his throwing column and I would explain "That ain't no typo!"
Eventually the Johnstown coaches decided it was too distracting for him doing it with both arms from day to day [he wasn't switching within the same game or anything like that]. They had him pitch lefty only because they felt he was better from that side and they just wanted him to focus on getting better as a one-arm-only pitcher.
He was kind of in danger of getting cut from the team. I think his ERA was over 6.00 for a little while.
His curve was better lefty but he had better velocity righty.

Anyway, late in the year while he was on the mound there was a long argument from the other team's manager with the umpire. It was about 10 minutes of them screaming at each other and him getting ejected. The argument was right on top of home plate so, as commonly happens in such situations, the pitcher took a few tosses with the first-baseman to keep his arm loose. Except that he decided to loosen up his right arm instead since the next batter due up was a righty and he just felt like messing around. He did it kind of against the will of the coaches but they simply didn't notice what he was up to. All those weeks he was using his left arm only in the games he would still sneak in some bullpen work with his right arm because he simply didn't want to stop using it completely.

So when the argument finally ended my color commentator observed that Irving was now pitching righty to the next batter and thus we had a little bit of history in our game. Irving got a strikeout to end the inning fwiw.

Baseball America magazine in their list of pitchers to have thrown with both arms in the same game still doesn't recognize this one because our media relations idiot didn't bother reporting it. I supposed I should probably forward this info to them sometime. As I recall...there are only a handful of pitchers even at the minor league level [and I think just Greg Harris at the major league level] to have done this and he deserves to have his name added to the record book.

There are about a zillion articles out there about this guy by the way. I heard about him last year or 2 years ago when my Dad read about him in the NY Times and forwarded me the article.

From the 3rd article about him:

If that's the rule, then there's some room for strategy there. Since the pitcher has to declare first, he should either go with whichever arm is best OR force the batter to hit from his weakest side. Whichever gives the most advantage. This could get somewhat complicated, for example if his curve is better from one side or his fastball from the other against a batter who's a better fastball or curveball hitter, etc. Or the status of the bases helping to determine what pitches are going to be called... I can't imagine most managers being able to exploit this well...

According to MLB umpire Charlie Reliford, there is no rule. From Peter Abraham's Yankees blog:

QUITE FRANKLY, one of the funniest things I've seen on youtube: Stephen A. Smith, 2008 draft edition

This is the one that started it all:

I dont think it can get worse than this.... unbelievable

YouTube, MLB and anyone else who has problems with sports clips being posted on the net really needs to get with the times. I hate opening up video after video to see that stupid pink copywright infringement bar!

Tiger's shot at the 2005 Masters, 16th hole

wtf at that baseball announcer? that just has to be a terrible joke or something right?

And seeing that swoosh topple over into the hole never gets old.

Sure sounds like it.
