Remember
"[Pitch speed] has less of an effect than people think," says University of Illinois professor Alan Nathan, who studies the physics of baseball, with a focus on the collision between bat and ball. "Each additional mile per hour of pitch speed is worth about two-tenths of additional batted-ball speed, which only works out on a high fly ball to about a foot for every increased mile per hour."
Cuba si, Yanqui no?
Aroldis Chapman, a 22-year-old Cuban defector pitching for the Cincinnati Reds' triple-A affiliate in Louisville, captured baseball fans' attention when he threw a pitch clocked at 105 mph.
...
The batter facing Chapman had only about 0.35 seconds to react before the pitch reached him.

The entire sports report was Seahawks. Not a single mention of the World Series.
ya, ya, so the Astros won the World Series, do we have to keep talking about it? Everybody in Seattle already knows how good the f**king Astros are, why waste valuable airtime, band width, ink or oxygen rehashing it. They'll probably be in the World Series the next 10 years in a row. Believe me, it's going to get old.

I am on my way out of Houston now and they are no where near finished talking about this. We were thinking about going to the parade today until we realized what a fiasco it was going to be. Transit fail bigtime.

HaHaHa! Y’all shoulda seen the letters to the editor in the LA Times today! Some writers had some great comments. The natives are restless.
