LIfe intervened and the Monroe post will be delayed.
No game today. Hopefully that means Bux will be rested and ready...?
Huh, it's 2-1 Red over White Sox in the bottom of the first right now. At 10:30 am.
Patriots Day. I had forgotten about that, so thank you.
Lucas Giolito threw forty-six pitches in the first inning, giving up six runs.
Just gave up a donger. Glad I remembered to start him on my team this morning.
You don't see a sport choose to set itself on fire very often like European Soccer has with the Super League announcement, the reaction has been universally negative (to put it kindly)
This is a pretty good explanation of the issues, etc. if interested.
Also Jon Mathalar (sp?) had a pretty good article back in 2018(!) explaining how the Super League is similar to the creation of Big 10 Hockey and look how that turned out. I might find it and post a link as well.
I really like the closing thought
I could go on and on, but there is one question I keep returning to that is at the heart of the Super League question and what it means now and going forward: What are sports for? If sports are simply economic concerns divorced of anything other than that which the market rewards, vehicles for the enrichment of the entities that own them and the employees who work there, then the Super League probably is a good development and will happen either in this form or something else. But if sports are to serve some deeper purpose, something human that deals with interactions and identifications of real people and places and principles, then there’s no other way to see the Super League other than as a direct attack on the possibility that something, even something as silly as a game, can and should mean or serve something greater than its own bottom line.
Here is the Big 10 Hockey comparison. It's pretty good.
My daughter is going to Gonzaga next year. For some reason, her decision wasn't watched live like some other kid's decision.
Does she have a social media account where we can harass her for not staying in Minnesota?
My nephew (my sister-in-law's kid) lives in Texas and will be going to Macalester next year. I don't know any of his social media accounts or you could send him random welcome messages!
You can tell her she'll never get a job in this town.
Well, I guess Game 1 of the doubleheader could be considered at night...
For the second straight year, the Seager brothers each homerd in the same game. Before last year, no brothers had homered in the same game since 2001 when the Crespo brothers did it. But I'm sure you already knew that bit of trivia.
Thanks for that link. I had heard pieces of this story and kinda knew that the blizzard may have been apocryphal so it was nice to see it all laid out and researched.
Success!

The real question is whether we can get the Yankmes to leave MLB to form their own Super League.
I got a text last week that Swansea defeated Wednesday on Tuesday.
Joe Posnanski gives a pitch-by-pitch breakdown of Tortuga's pitching appearance.

Marwin got absolutely drilled by a pitch today.

Only in Minnesota.
