  5. Wouldn't it be weird if umpires called strikes by the word "STRIKE!" These days what you hear are sounds like "STRUUUHH" STRAAAA" STRUAH"

  6. I've watched baseball off and on all my life and couldn't for the life of me say, one way or the other, whether they ever have done that. Is this something that's left up to the personal preferences of the umpire, or does "baseball" dictate how it will be done?

  7. Good question-I'm sure there are many who say "either way". Growing up, I never paid attention to how they do it....wish I had now.

  12. Here are the penalties dished out to that Penguin:
    2:00 roughing
    5:00 fighting major(power play team can score as many goals as it takes up to the 5:00)
    10:00 misconduct
    game misconduct
    suspension from playoffs if the Pengies qualify(as they usually do)

  14. There's a player like that on the Bruins here in Boston...Ciarra. He's 6"9 and kinda strong. The announcers always say "You don't poke the bear". But I'm not a Bruins fan anyway,.
  15. I was going to suggest a trumpet, but the air horn works better.
