I heard from my source that Jamie Dixon forced him to sit down and admire his hair for an hour.

It was simply a learning experience for Charlie Woods. I'm sure he had no expectations to come close to make it through this first stage - his handicap index is good enough to qualify for the first (of 3 stages I think) of US Open qualifying, The cost to get the opportunity to play is a few...

If don't get a 4th "core" player (which could make sense given future cap implications in 2 or 3 years), there is no excuse for them to have any holes in their top 8/top 9 rotation next year. They have a chance to use that cap space and got mega picks. Use cap / trade draft picks to get very...

30 is ironically the # of playoffs that have been completed since a Canadian team won the Cup. That being said 6 Canadian Teams have made the final since - not the Leafs of course.

I guess Gavin Williams didn't work out for you either. His timeline just gets worse and worse. I suspect Holliday will figure it out soon after this brutal start.

I don't think the Heisman Trust has any ability to give JB his wins back.

Could be the next big thing... or nothing -- but I remember about a dozen years ago (maybe add a year or two), when Matteo Manassero and Ryo Ishikawa were doing big things as 16/17/18 year olds. And they are not doing much anymore around the age of 30. Manassero made the Cut at the Masters...

I am somewhat fascinated by OKC and whether they will start to push a lot of assets this summer to get an additional all-star level player. They have the cap space and the assets to do it. What do you think OKC will do this offseason? They aren't budging off the core of SGA, Williams...

No matter how mediocre Miami is, they always find a way to create havoc come playoff time.

Don't care that this is no longer their goal song. Had to put up with it long enough. Boston 4, Leafs 2.

Was hoping my waiver claim for Cole Ragans would work, but at #10 in priority I wasn't holding out much hope. Pitchers are unpredictable so the Ragans-Gil might work for Steve too.

Love to see Pascal Siakam do well for the Pacers. He hasn't had a chance to shine in the playoffs for a while. In 2019 he was great as the #2/#3 cog for the Raptors, but 2020 was a disaster for him in the bubble, where he underachieved for a team that was somewhat of a contender - he really...

Well the MAC, now that changes everything!

Just automate balls and strike calls and be done with it. The technology should be easy and quick at this point - we get automatic feedback as viewers, so how hard can it be to implement. Get rid of all the pitch framing nonsense, Angel Hernandez calling balls and strikes, and whatever...

Teams winning a home series against the Yankees according to Michael Kay

I don't know if Michael Kay is normally a clown (probably not), but he was certainly a clown this week. Let's just insinuate a team is cheating because they are fouling off a few more pitches vs a few more games back. (As an aside nobody fouls off more pitches than Bo Bichette when he starts...

An era where managers seemed much more memorable compared to today, less generic to a degree. Also stuck around longer. I can name more managers from 1985 compared to 2020. Sparky, Lasorda, Billy Martin, Herzog, Johnson, Howser, Cox, Larussa, Mauch, Rose, Weaver (maybe he was gone by then),

Good

That number was for all the games played in 1981. That was my point. Not through April 15th, 1981 or 18 or 20 games played into 1981. For the full amount of games played in 1981. But if we are not going to include 1981 since it was strike shortened (and trust me I am well aware of that given...

Scoring seemed down this year, so I looked at the stats vs the prior year. In AL Runs per Game down from 4.55 (2023) to 4.18 (2024), down 8%. The 4.18 is the lowest it has been since 1981 (full year) OPS down from .729 to .686. The .686 is the lowest it has been since 1976 (full year)...

If he does, he will be the type they make wait. My guess is no, but it will be close. He had a short career with a sudden and steep decline - but he did have a HOF worthy 5 year peak period. His peak was his first 5 years in the league 5 All Star Teams 3rd, 8th, 10th in MVP Voting 2 time 2nd...

They made the Elite 8 last year. I'm not sure they are tier 2 either. But I don't think we are better than them the last 10 years.

I guess it really comes down to what you look at and how much you value that Final 4, and how you value regular seasons. T For me tourney play is important but its not everything either in terms of defining where your brand is at - could be argued it might tell a bit less of where you at and...

Is that Georgetown as a tier 3? LOL. Or am i getting that logo mixed with something else. Because I'm not even sure if they qualify for tier 5 at this point. 3,4 seems largely interchangeable to me otherwise. We are somewhere in that group. And then you have a few in tier 2 that can be...

There was an odd moment today at the press conference, where a reporter asked what note Tiger handed Shipley today. Great callback to Happy Gilmore.

The change of scenery and the learning from mistakes hopefully serves him well and he matures. He made mistakes, but from afar didn't seem like a terrible kid - one that just needed to figure things out. Not sure if the unrealistic expectations of the fanbase relating to his immediate impact...

I don't think I had bet of golf since last Masters. Made two small bets Saturday morning... getting the back door top 3 finish for Fleetwood reminds me how finicky it was. Way to finish up Morikawa and Homa.

Not a new story, by any means -- more a story of me not following golf that closely this year. Just realized that the Masters committee gave a special exemption to Joaquin Niemann to participate in the event. He did not qualify otherwise because of the OWGR impact of playing in LIV. He...

Thanks. I was threw off by the sentence structure, but now that I read it again it makes sense.

Perhaps I'm the only one, but I am confused by this line "If he doesn’t pitch today, would likely start Monday. If he does, he’d slot in at the back end of Toronto series." If he starts Monday or makes his return Monday, how is that the back end of the Toronto series?

Not Yankee related, but the menace to all fanbases was back at work last night.

Comments of "Context Lacking" and "Goalpost Shifting" And then making the claim we were top 10 at the end of 2016, as if that has any context on how we were as a program that year or after 2018. Just seems off to me. We have not been clearly into the NCAA tournament as of March 1, in any...

For anybody interested to going to Montreal for the President's Cup, General Admission Tickets went on sale today. (not exactly local, but not that far either for a weekend trip).

I almost feel like the Masters, or really the majors, deserves its own thread. 1. The stature of the event. 2. While technically a "PGA Tour" event, the majors are now farther and farther away from typical PGA events because they will include LUV Players. These events are much more...

At todays afternoon game … people are pansies sunny 16 (or 61) and the roof is closed. Beautiful day in downtown.

A few stats I heard today. Purdue only had 8 assists last night … and they we’re all by only one player. In terms of petty details I heard. And at this point petty sometimes feels good. 3 of the 5 lowest rated NCAA final games of all time included UConn.

A Double Douche for UConn. Yay.

When he gets moving Edey gets up and down the court at a fairly good speed given his size. It the agility / lack of ability to make quick movements that hurts him.

I'm done.

Not sure if that was a travel on Edey.

Wow. Airball. Has no legs.

UConn guards basically have an uninterrupted free screener out there in Clingan, since Edey is not coming out from below the basket. Doesn't help the Purdue guards, and helps UConn get to the middle of the floor pretty easily. Unfortunately Edey doesn't have the agility or gas to come up once...

#6 coming ... switching this to something else soon.

While I liked Edey staring down Hurley in the first after a basket, things haven't went that well for him since.

Block.. sure thing. Edey though is either gassed or too slow. Really problem on defensice end... mid range shots are coming way too easy as he can't come up, and just slow to get to the d-boards right now.

Purdue needed halftime to come ASAP. They were tired. Hopefully they can find something in the first 4-5 minutes of the second half, to draw it closer, and give them some momentum.

Caraban has been making big defensive plays this entire Final 4.

Give a T to that freaking idiot.
