Going to the game I was listening to the pre-game show and Dan Conley said he's been asked about the player where Dungey was injured 30 times this week. He agreed with the flag but "sometimes when a player is being tackled, you can be trying to hit him in the chest and suddenly you're hitting him in the helmet. I'm sure the young man didn't intentionally try to hurt him." Yeah, I know, we've put it behind us but as long as they keep feeding us BS like that, it's not behind us.
I just heard Niko Timurian call today's game a "moral victory". Is there such a thing as an "immoral victory"? (Maybe CMU last week if they'd won.) Again, you are looking for two things in a game: to win and to feel optimistic you are going to win the next one, too. Last week's game was a discouraging victory because it didn't create the desired optimism. This week's game is an encouraging defeat because it does produce that optimism. A win is a win and a loss is a loss but that doesn't mean you can't feel good about the team after one. It has nothing to do with "morality".
On the 6PM news, Andy Malnoski was describing local high school highlights. He described a game between Onondaga Central and Bishop Grimes. He started out be describing it as "all Grimes" but showed nothing but Onondaga highlights. He then announced that Onondaga won, 28-0. Then, at the 11:30 news cast, he did the exact same thing. Then he showed the Mets clinching the NL East, saying that they have a chance to be in their first World Series since 1986". Except, of course for 2000. Nice job of proofreading the copy.
