On a separate note, did anyone outside the UK hear about Liverpool beating Manchester United 7-0?
Wow.
It’s very rare to see such scores. I did read once about a match that ended with a 36-0 score. Can’t recall the details, but I think it was a Scottish match, possibly prior to WWII.

Blood was dripping from his face, it didn’t difficult to tell from where exactly. It looked as if it hit him square on, maybe on the bill of his helmet or the bridge of his nose, but it was hard to tell. They did not show replays from different angles. He walked off under his own power (with his face covered with a towel), which is probably a good sign. He’ll need stitches, that’s for sure.

I got hit in the helmet 3 times during the brief time I played baseball when I was younger, once in the back of the helmet as I spun away form a high fastball that hit hard enough to take the helmet off, once in the earhole of the helmet that knocked me flat, and once just above the brim of the helmet where my temple was that really rung my bell. The only time I ever came close to actually getting hit in the face was when I was coaching softball on a line drive foul ball that hit my shoulder square and grazed my chin on the ricochet when I was in the 3rd base coaching box. Those were terrifying enough. The thought of getting hit square in the face like that just sends shivers down my spine. -M

@mrp,
Imagine getting hit like that without a helmet.
Glad you were able to get back in the saddle each time. That can’t be easy.

@mrp, Imagine getting hit like that without a helmet. Glad you were able to get back in the saddle each time. That can’t be easy. I don't want to imagine getting hit without a helmet, that's why what happened to Justin Turner shakes me up a bit. The hardest thing to recover from on a diamond and get back in the saddle from was not me getting hit or hurt, but when playing softball in gym class in 8th grade hitting a comebacker line drive that broke my gym teacher's collar bone. The ting of the softball off the metal bat followed by the audible crack of bone and the scream of pain haunted me for a bit after that one. -M

This sounds like the first draft of a Stephen King story.

The Red Sox are thus far undefeated in Spring Training (8-0-3). I wonder if we were to set the over under for wins in the first month of the season at 8, if the Sox will reach the over.
