It's courtesy of "Tommy John" no not the pitcher at White Sox Interactive.comWho is the only player to have participated in three 'forfeit' games?Answer:Rusty Torres of the White Sox was in the lineup during game #1 on Disco Demolition night, he also played for the Indians on Ten Cent Beer Night.

Trivia Tuesday: Baseball Edition
2009-05-26 13:48:00 Since I attended two Nationals-Pirates games last week (and missed trivia night), I figured I would have a baseball-themed Trivia Tuesday. Think you know baseball?

An outfielder may wear a first baseman?s mitt in the outfield.3. A B-R can never be declared out when he is hit by a thrown ball as he is running in foul territory.4. There is a no penalty for throwing a glove at a fair ball.5. The ball always becomes dead immediately when a balk is called.Multiple Choice6. One out, runner on first. The batter hits a sharp one-hopper to the first baseman. The first baseman tags R1 (runner on first), who is standing on first base, then tags the base before the B-R arrives.a. Double play.b. The B-R is out when first base is tagged. The runner is safe si...

2009-04-21 18:20:00 I?m addicted. This is what I did this past weekend: worked as a soccer referee, watched games two and three of the Penguins-Flyers series, unsuccessfully tried to organize bills and statements from the past 5+ years and spent hours on Sporcle.com. (I guess I probably ate and slept too.) What an amazing website! Therefore, for this week?s Trivia Tuesday, I again present two quizzes from Sporcle.Quiz #1: Name the sitcom cities. You know where Seinfeld took place but what about Mr. Belvedere? I scored a 17 of 28.Quiz #2: Name the starting NFL quarterbacks from Tecmo 1991. I scored a 19 of 28. Just based on his name (if he still goes by this handle), Tecmo of PSAMP better try this one!Please share your results in the comments section. Good luck!

2009-04-14 15:41:00 A few programming notes before Trivia Tuesday. First, today is the official release day of Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels. For more information about the book, check out my interview with author (and friend) Sarah Wendell, Sarah and co-author Candy Tan?s interview on NPR and where you can buy the book from the Smart Bitches website.Next, I want to congratulate lacips of This Is Getting Old for winning the Rock of Love 3 Fantasy League. He made a shrewd move (even if he didn't know it) by selecting Taya and not Mindy on Sunday's finale. I finished in second place because I chose both of the finalists, but lost 25 points when Mindy was eliminated. That was the difference to give laclips the victory. In case you're wondering, I am not organizing a Daisy of Love Fantasy League!Trivia Tuesday is slightly different this week.

No Trivia Tuesday
2009-03-31 18:33:00 Have you ever had a song stuck in your head that you couldn?t get rid of? This happens to me occasionally, but one particular song has been stuck there for days. More on this momentarily.So, I apologize for the lack of Trivia Tuesday this week, but I have a very good reason. We tried something new last week and went to music trivia at Black Finn in Bethesda. The idea was terrific; they have three rounds of 12 songs each, play about 30-45 seconds of a song and you need to provide the artist and song title. However, the execution was poor. There are certain fundamental requirements in a trivia game. You need to be told the correct answers after it's over. You need to be told how well or poorly you did. And you need to be told how close you came to winning. Music trivia failed on all three accounts. The only thing they did was actually have questions, but for all we know, the thing was fixed. After the first round, we were handed back our answer sheet and told that we won....
