The moment the Mets' latest implosion officially ended Wednesday, at about 10:15 CDT, Brewers savior CC Sabathia was busy insisting to a pack of reporters that he felt just fine throwing 107 pitches on three days' rest; that his latest tour de force -- an 11-strikeout, seven-inning outing in a win over the Pirates that evened the NL wild-card race -- had not put any undue strain on his left arm. Sabathia also said that he'd be perfectly willing to do it all over again, three days later against the Cubs in the regular-season finale. "Whatever it takes to get us in the playoffs," he explained, "that's what I'll do." ...

MILWAUKEE -- All of Miller Park remained in a surreal holding pattern, the end of the 26-year Playoff Drought Era so tantalizingly close, the only thing left in the way being three Mets outs, 900 miles to the East at Shea Stadium. The Brewers' workday was already done, their shirts already untucked -- as is now a standard post-victory ritual -- after downing the Cubs 3-1 in the 162nd game of the year. Cheerleaders stood stoic atop the home dugout, holding pyrotechnic devices in the off position, waiting, like the rest of the crowd, for closure in a wild-card drama that had been tied entering the final day of the regular season. Brewers players, who had arrived at the park Sunday morning with suitcases packed for a potential one-game playoff in New York on Monday, sat scattered about the dugout, many swilling Miller Lites. Their stadium had temporarily turned into the World's Largest Sports Bar, with 42,599 patrons and Marlins 4, Mets 2 on the jumbotron. ...

MILWAUKEE -- The rumor began, like so many do, here on the Internet. Or maybe it started in a bar, if you believe the guy who started the rumor. Either way, when a commenter on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Brewers Blog claimed, at 9:03 a.m. Friday, that Brewers shortstop J.J. Hardy had suffered a hand injury in the mosh-pit that greeted Ryan Braun's walkoff home run the previous evening -- and claimed that a source "just informed me that [Hardy] might be out for the rest of the season," it spread through Brewtown like Wild Card Wildfire. ...

“I'm not sure if it's in direct competition with traditional mediums -- it's more of a place where things can take on a life of their own after being seen first on mainstream TV, or get noticed (like, say, the Georgia high school clip) and then end up being popular content on mainstream TV. Rather than fighting to keep their content off of YouTube, networks would be better off figuring out ways to monetize the stuff they create that has viral potential. And they're probably more than happy to attract viewers by airing something salacious they pulled off of YouTube - like Shaq's now-famous rap about Kobe. “                                  Luke Winn - SI.com ...

   PHILADELPHIA -- One week ago, in an episode of U.S.-Iran relations that did not make anyone's evening news, the 18-year-old captain of the Iranian junior national team took a pass from an American teammate, drove to the basket and dunked with such authority that some Division I coaches in the gym began curiously examining his bio page in the Reebok All-American Camp's handbook. ...

In his June 16, 2008 article, " How the new three-point line will affect the game ", Luke Winn of Sports Illustrated made (successfully in my opinion...) one of the few serious attempts to use quantitative analysis to predict the effect of moving the 3 point line back one foot. Looking exclusively at the 2008 NCAA field, Winn suggested a number of particular teams would be helped or harmed by the change. Restating his points: 1. Mid-majors Will be Hit the Hardest -- they tend to rely more on the 3 point shot as a equalizer against the (BCS?) high-majors who have larger, more athletic front court players. In a 1 - 2 possession game this can be crucial. 2. The Two Main National Title Contenders are Insulated -- next year's early favorites, North Carolina and Connecticut have offenses that don't rely much on points from the 3 point line. 3. There's Now More Space For Low-Percentage Two-Point Attempts -- and Defenses That Force the Most of These Will Thrive -- this one applies directly to both the regular and post season. 4. Marginal Shooters Won't Command Much Respect -- Winn referred to teams, but this could just as well apply to individual shooters. I decided to crunch some Big East conference games data from last season to see, using Winn's points as a guide, who might be harmed or helped by the change. Winn's first three points were addressed in earlier posts, Part 1 and Part 2 . I want to look at his last point now... Marginal Shoote ...
