RIP.

But, I'll have to argue for Sparky as the best manager in my lifetime.

Dont look now, if Rory goes to LIV look out. LIV will go to 72 holes with a cut have qualifying every year. and the PGA Tour will go broke. After LIV plucks top player after top player. VH not to far behind Rory. The tour jerked around the PIF to long. they will bury them.

If it happens, my take on it would be that Rory would be a hypocrite at the highest level of hypocrisy.

23 today.  All 3 of my 30+ homer guys scored more than I expected.

Lucky 7 today.  A grid I could go Red heavy. Interesting that @ricoand I got Bench on the same square.

Another * win

How so?  You dont consider Scheffler to be the best in the world?  Who wasn't at Augusta on Thursday that could have challenged him?

I can hear the 'No excuse for leaving a scholarship open' crowd now.

All,

We merged this original megathread and the Fire Mike Woodson thread. Many threads have been hijacked over the last several months with Woodson debate, please try to keep all of it inside this megathread from now on.

- Mods

The Mike Woodson thread has now surpassed that of the immortal Moses Abraham as well as that of the nomadic Luke Brown.

At least here in the Indy area I haven't been able to watch all the Reds games. They are on the same channel as the Pacers so any time the Pacers play we don't get the Reds game.

I would not like that at all.  I have Direct TV and, in the Louisville market, we get both Pacers and Reds, but on different channels.  

I am totally into MLB this year.  There were several years in a row where I barely even watched the Reds.  Now, I'm watching any game, Reds or otherwise, that I can make time for.

I can honestly say the pitch clock and elimination of the shift saved baseball for me.

I watched the lasat 3 innings of the Brewers-Orioles, and the Os have some really good young talent...I know the Holiday kid gets all the hype, but they have a kid named Cowser that has some electric power...He cranked one out today...

I think they said the average age of their starting 8 in the field today was like 25  

Orioles have the best collection of young talent that we've seen in many years.

Why'd Counsell take Leiter out? Christ, he only threw, what...3 pitches?

Edit: make that 2 pitches

Tight pitch count?

Agreed. My biggest worry is his defense. PAC12 defense is like a 4 letter word.

Excuse me.  This guy takes offense when you talk poorly about the Conference of Champions.

I’ve been wondering where he’s been as well (when it comes to posting on HSN). I’m friends with him on Instagram though and he appears to be doing well - traveling and enjoying his dogs in Brooklyn. 

Just glad to know he's okay.   HSN, while an enjoyable distraction, is not important in the grand scheme of things.  I was concerned it might be something else.

BTW, I think we ought to have a "Challenge Friday" where we shoot for the highest score rather than the lowest...

Thoughts?

 

I'm game.  

Was a Cubs fan there for a couple of hours.  Imanaga is on my fantasy team.  Now that he's out of the game......Go Mariners!!!!!

That's  not the pinned thread I'm referring to.  Rice is not on this grid yet

Who's our resident Celtics guy on the board?

That's me.  I listen to this almost every night.

It's not official until he's on the Scholarship Grid.

The missus and I figured that if we were going to see Elton John on his Farewell Tour then it should be in London. So, we flew over for a long weekend this weekend.

INCREDIBLE show and performer. He hit all of the highlights - and the dude has a lot of them! You could tell he was pretty emotional on some of the songs. Their was a career retrospective montage during “I’m Still Standing” and it was like, “Damn, this dude has been on everything.”

Who else has been on Sesame Street, The Muppets, Soul Train, The Simpsons, Sonny and Cher, etc, etc. 

I’m not sure there is a more important musical, pop culture icon still with us that spans that many decades and touched so many different genres. Definitely a concert highlight for me. 

I was thinking about @Lostin76 today and realized I had not seen him on the board in a long time.  He was a regular in this thread.  His profile says he has not been on the board since 4/18/23.  So, this was one of his last posts. That concerns me a bit 

And, while we're on the subject of people I have not seen on in a while, @mrflynn has not been on since early March.  Hope everything is alright there.

I’ll be happy to play the banner card again after we win one in this century. Until then I’m not throwing shade at anyone. We are a sorry program that hasn’t won anything in a very very long time. No B1G titles, No final fours, and no NCs.

I prefer to live life with tongue in cheek.  Life has thrown a lot worse things at me than the lack of RECENT success of my favorite college basketball team.  I'm not going to let that stop me from having a little fun at the expense of my rival, one who is a favorite of many of my family and friends 

50.  Doesn't sound good, but that 300 Save category is a tough one to score well in.  Just happy I was able to avoid using Eckersley or Rivera.  

Friedl is on my Fantasy Team.  Here is his injury update from yesterday.
