The best part is, we have a pretty good set of sunspot groups currently, too
Because of the pandemic, etc, Topps released the 2021 Big League set recently; there is a send-in contest listed on each of the packs that ended last fall. Good luck!
Scoggins sums it up today:
"Just got to work through the adversity," he said.
Any adversity in this regard is self-inflicted. He's letting one foul lead to another foul, which leads to more fouls and then he's fuming and losing his composure. He's so consumed by the officiating and so often acting as if he's being treated unfairly that it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Amen. I’m a casual, fair-weather fan, but I find it difficult to cheer for him.
I don't have any problem at all cheering for KAT. He's great and I hope they don't trade him.
It's just that he'd be even better if he didn't get stuck in a foul feedback loop of dumb fouls, complaining to the ref, and then committing even dumber fouls. They needed him to be "the guy" during that 21-2 Memphis run, and he was on the court for two and a half minutes before fouling yet again and coming out.
I can have hope that he’s still young and will figure some of this out in the next couple years. Though when your veteran leadership (PatBev) hates the refs…I dunno.
We’ll see!
Minnesota Wild v. Seattle Kraken tonight. If the Wild win, they will set a new franchise record for wins and points in a season to go along with their already established new franchise record in goals scored. Pretty easy to say this is the best Minnesota Wild team we've ever seen.
Wild will face the Blues in the first round, with the winner getting the winner of the Colorado v. 8 seed series. St. Louis holds the tiebreaker for home ice, so the Wild have to finish with more points to start round 1 at home.
Current standings:
MIN - 105 points, 5 games remaining
STL - 105 points, 4 games remaining
thru 12 games Julio has already struck out looking 8 times (!) on pitches out of the strike zone, most in MLB
for reference, Brandon Belt had the most such K's in 2021 with 17
Ha! well...good for him, I guess. The umps must have all got together on April 1 and conspired.
I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday evening news that the meteorologist mentioned we'd had 21 straight days with wind gusts touching at least 20mph. I don't think it's still going, but today would have qualified.
And now they're recommending putting rocks in children's pockets tomorrow so they don't blow away.
I was thinking today and one of the biggest changes and growth (I guess I would call it) in my sports fandom is showing a lot more empathy for injured players. In my younger days, I would call a chronically injured player a bum or weak but now I just dont want players to get hurt, and if they do get hurt want them to came back to the playing field or court at maximum health.
Today's Heardle song deja vu'd this for me.
My step-dad got a real good lesson in what it truly means to be a Wolves fan.
Phil Mackey sucks, by the way.
Which reason now?
