Side judge getting a read for his own putt to follow Hartline's, obviously.

So I was actually there in person (in Madrid for work, extended my trip, got a ticket to my first-ever La Liga game). My view was from behind the guy who made the cross, and as the ball was in the air, and Hernandez tangled with the defender, there was NO WAY a goal was about to happen. It was extraordinary. I was…

Scully pins the bad throw to home on Puig, when it was actually Hanley... and he makes the mistake again in the replay. Otherwise, his call was pretty funny. Here are highlights:

Who'd a thunk a trunk can dunk?

Similar to Alpine's World Cup season vs. the Olympics. The gold medalist in an Olympic downhill MIGHT actually be the best downhill skier in the world, but that's not always the case. Whoever wins the World Cup downhill title, though, is irrefutably the best.

Yeah, but that one dude totally provoked Metta, rebounding his air-balled layup like that.

I wonder if this guy is related to Mark Stevens, a former WABC sports anchor whose real name, if I remember correctly from when I interned there, is Mark Soicher. They look alike. Maybe this guy Drew just stuck with Soicher. Who cares? Good question... hitting Publish anyway.

Bit like the Olympics. Wake up the morning of your event feeling a little off, finish 5th... bummer... have to wait FOUR YEARS for next shot, assuming you're still good then, make it through Trials to even get back to the Olympics, etc.

Maybe, since no risk, he figured the pitcher would freak out cuz HEY THERE'S A GUY TRYING TO STEAL HOME AND I KNOW IT DOESN'T MATTER BUT WHAT'S HE DOING?!?!?!... and boom, ball four, tie game.

Damn near had an assist there, too, on the missed 3-pointer... wonder what that would've done to his numbers.

Hey, you in the glasses... EYE FIVE!

Astros fan here... pretty sure there's a banner at Minute Maid that says "NL Wild Card Champions" for 2004 and/or 2005. Hah. Champions. We don't have much experience with using that word, I know... but still, embarrassing.

Also hating to be that guy... the score today was 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

That note about the Q-Tip is key — do NOT try to solve the problem with a Q-Tip. I did. Then I did again. And again. After a few days, I finally went to an ENT to get cleared up, and the amount of wax that was pulled/suctioned out of my ear could have fed an entire family of wax eaters.

Love the title on that first clip: "Brutales Foul an Superstar Dirk Nowitzki bei Wurzburger Benefizspiel." Is that basically, "Brutal foul on superstar Dirk Nowitzki at the Wurzberger Charity Match"??? Sarcastic, zee Germans?

How 'bout that left-handed 3-pointer from the top of the key? He really is good...
