to move up and down
Is this the best way to share your feelings? Yes. Yes, it is.

Remember all that talk about boycotting the NHL after the lockout? Yeah… That doesn’t appear to be happening so far.

Michael Vick and Alex Smith were knocked out of their games when each sustained a concussion in the first half, leaving the Eagles and 49ers unsure of their quarterbacks’ status for next week’s games.
Vick was hit by Cowboys linebacker Ernie Sims on an incomplete pass and was slow to get up early in the second quarter of Philadelphia’s 38-23 loss to Dallas. Vick headed for the locker room and was replaced by Nick Foles with the game tied 7-7.
Vick threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Riley Cooper in the first quarter.
Smith scrambled and started to slide before turning his back late, and Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar barrelled into his neck area with 1:10 left in the first quarter of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis.

John Farrell likened it to “one of those Little League things — just run ’til you get tagged out.”
Edwin Encarnacion circled the bases on a single, and nobody came even close to tagging him out. More than 42,000 fans were on their feet, cheering and grinning.
Encarnacion’s eighth-inning romp was the pivotal play in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings. Afterward, Encarnacion was chuckling about it too.
“A lot of fun,” he said. “A little tired too. Long way.”
The walkoff winner scored on another single, this one whacked to the left-centre field wall by Rajai Davis. But without Encarnacion’s daring dash, the game probably would not have reached the 10th inning.

Awkward. One man decided to show off his rally squirrel during the Cardinals-Phillies game on Thursday. No one was hurt in the incident, except this man’s dignity. Apparently he lost a bet, while security suspects he might have been drinking (REALLY?).
This is the face Kevin Garnett made when he was called for a foul with 10 seconds left. A foul is a foul, right?
Referees are not asked to consider what time of the game it is, and call the violation accordingly. Of course, it happens all of the time: a foul in the first quarter is often not called in the fourth quarter, for fear of influencing the outcome of a close game. It is ridiculous, sure, but it is also human nature to want to let the players paid millions of dollar determine the result, as opposed to the referees paid considerably less than that.
