What is your opinion of this commentary explaining an obvious line drive out to left field during a crucial moment of an extra-inning MLB game? “Line drive. Base hit. Caught out there. The runner tags. Throw to the plate. On target. And in time!

LOS ANGELES – St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright talked towels after his team’s 3-2 loss in Game Two to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wainwright felt the the sea of ‘white towels’ being waved by the Dodgers fans may have had a direct impact on the final score.

DETROIT – While Sports Illustrated is featuring the Tigers’ current home Comercia Park on their cover this week; at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull demolition experts and heavy machinery continued to flatten Tiger Stadium one beam and support at a time.
