When Hull City is trying to drop "City" because of its worthlessness, here come the Americans appropriating British soccer norms without thinking.

A 94mph fastball above the zone in an attempt to get Coco to chase for strike three is thrown by the second-best pitcher in the NPB and the conclusion is that Coco is getting nothing to hit?

Fans wouldn't need stupid noisemakers if there were frequent and/or lengthy stoppages in play when stadiums could blast top 40 hits thru the speakers. Sports are only exciting when action is constantly interrupted and music is played. Or maybe if the sport and the fans weren't so stupid, music could be playing while…

Knowing that you love Soccernomics clears up so much

The two terrible first-pitches are by Americans - Tiffany and Jessica of Girls' Generation. But I forgive them because "Gee" is a perfect pop-song.
