      Depends on the sport, too. How regional is it? TV rights in this country basically take the place of ads on unis. In the long run, I don't think MLB, NBA, NFL *need* to sell ads on unis. Fields/stadiums/arenas? Sure. Unis? Nah.

        Well, after 1, not only a no-hitter, but a perfect game, is in tact, and the Mets are on pace to win 18-0. So much for the easy sweep.

          Well, the no-hitter/perfect game is gone after 4 outs, but the complete game, shutout win is still attainable.

                Well, the complete game went by the wayside several innings ago, but the Mets need just 3 more outs to get the W.

                  Congrats to the Mets. Twins need to win tomorrow afternoon to salvage a season series split with the Mets. So much for the blowout, Kepler.

                        Huh. Of course there's a strobe effect in that sample size, since the teams only meet a few times every 3 years.

                          The Twins need to win this second game to help them stay ahead of Cleveland.

                          I'm not going to be surprised at all if by mid-August Minnesota is in second place. They have a tough schedule coming up over the next month with series against Oakland, the Yankees, Cleveland, Atlanta, Texas and Milwaukee. They have a little lull in the middle of all of it with series against Miami, the White Sox and KC, but they've got 20 tough games against some good baseball teams over the next 30 days.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
