    Passed it beyond the top of the 6 yard box maybe? You have to remember American commentators are used to american football and having the yard lines be an important commentary descriptor.

    For all future American tours I volunteer myself as North American Commentary Translator; it's about time I put my Canadianess to use 'round here

    Yeah, can of corn was the only one really bothering me. Apparently...

    "Baseball fans know that a &#8216;pop fly&#8217; or lazy fly ball, that is an easy catch, is called a &#8220;can of corn.&#8221;

    The first time I heard the term was while listening to an old radio broadcast replay of a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball game. The play-by-play announcer Vin Scully (pictured) said, &#8220;on a 3-2 curve ball Pee Wee Reese hit a pop fly into short right field - it&#8217;s a can of corn.&#8221;

    So what does a lazy fly at the ballpark have to do with a can of corn?

    The phrase is said to have originated in the nineteenth-century and relates to an old-time grocer&#8217;s method of getting canned goods down from a high shelf. Using a stick with a hook on the end, a grocer could tip a can so that it would fall for an easy catch in his apron.

    That explains the &#8216;easy catch&#8217; but where does corn come into the equation?

    In the very early days of baseball, the outfield was called the &#8220;corn field.&#8221; Especially in early amateur baseball the outfield may have been a farm field."

    Them Crazzzeeee United Americans.

    When one of the goals went in Sika said "the ball hits the back of the 192"

    Anybody got any idea what that means???

    Also loved it when he said that Taylor went on loan to Why-Comb (Wycombe)

    Also alot of players need to practise their serves, especially from the baseline, because there were too many unforced errors!
