@Covers @SOHistory Still makes me so damn mad. One of the greatest injustices in sports.

On this day in @SOHistory 🗓️

Jim Joyce robbed Armando Galarraga of a perfect game in 2010 😬

The Detroit Tigers were -155 at home vs Cleveland.

During the 2010 season, instant replay was used only for home runs and was not expanded until the 2014 season.

[Geoff Zochodne @GeoffZochodne]

Summing up some Canadian sports betting/iGaming chatter from today's SBC conference in Toronto:

-launch of Alberta's competitive sports betting/iGaming market still set for July 13
-as many as 70 operators interested
-your guess as good as any as to which province will next follow the example of ON and AB
-AB could be a tipping point for Canada, though, with more provinces moving away from government-owned iGaming monopolies
-possible other provinces, if they do take the plunge, insert their own regulatory twist (such as "tethering" iGaming to brick-and-mortar casinos)

Historic “Big Six” member Tottenham are one loss away from potentially being relegated from the English Premier League for the first time in club history.

Will Tottenham avoid relegation? 🤔

A Tottenham loss on Sunday and a West Ham win would send them down 📉

Spurs currently have a 14% chance to be sent down to the EFL via @PolymarketSport.
