  • Sports commentary: Where is...

     

    Lots of empty seats.  That's what you'll see if you happen to tune your tube to a Major League Baseball game these days.

    It seems to me that there are an awful lot of tickets going unpurchased.  Or, if they are purchased, they're sitting on someone's coffee table, never to be redeemed.

    To test my theory, I grabbed the sports section from the Roanoke Times.  The box scores in that newspaper list the games' attendance, as well as the seating capacity at the hosting facility.

  • Boys soccer roundup

     

    The Staunton River boys soccer team looked solid on defense.

    The offense?  Well, that appears to be a work in progress.

    The Golden Eagles wound up on the short end of a 2-1 game with Northside.

    The Rivermen shook off two early Viking goals and drew within striking distance, but just couldn't find the trigger to tie things up.  As a result, the Eagles find themselves in the cellar of the Blue Ridge, saddled with a district mark of 0-3.

    Shakespeare wrote that a rose by any name smells just as sweet.

    Jefferson Forest's baseball team picked up a win over Heritage, but this one was anything but sweet.

    "It was ugly," said JF Head Honcho Jim Thacker of the 4-3 victory.  "But it was a win."

    It almost was both ugly and a loss.  If that was the case, the Cavs might be thinking the unthinkable:  the regular season district trophy sitting somewhere besides the JF trophy case.  A place such as Amherst County, for example.

  • Sports commentary: Don't...

     

    This could have been a tribute column:  one written in memory of Chief Jim Day.

    I'm a big fan of the job the chief has done with Bedford's police department.  I also consider him to be a solid human and a personal friend.

    But, even someone who is a ne'er-do-well doesn't deserve to get the treatment meted out to Day.  Just a couple of weeks ago, he was struck by a car as he rode his bicycle.
