two more pbp typos

injury log · 10-23-2007, 08:56 AM

Just saw this text on a close play at home plate:

"MAN, Mendez crashes into the catcher, bowling him over..
and the BALL IS LOSE! SAFE!!"

Two typos here- after 'bowling him over' there should be an ellipsis- three periods, not two. More importantly, 'LOSE' should be 'LOOSE'.

That one's hard coded.
