Basketball and hockey are probably not the sports to be calling as an announcer gets beyond retirement age. Shep has done Piston games in the past. Would he slide into the chair?

Back to back seasons of undefeated vs undefeated going into it. What a time to be alive.

I hate you because I cannot unsee/unhear this now.

Padres Owner Peter Seidler Passes Away

Speaking of Blaha, he and Kelser first broadcast a game together on one of this past weekend dates in 1988. Maybe it was Nov 12, 1988? Anyway, they had audio/video of a bit of that pregame from way back when during Sunday's broadcast. The years have added wrinkles and taken away hair, but they both sound pretty much the same in cadence & delivery.

How the hell can anyone be a fence sitter with this asshole? You either realize what a waste of oxygen he is, or you're an idiot.

Looks like a turnover waiting to happen.

Why were there multiple amateur drafts in a year? Wait, hold on..... A draft for free agents?

Well, comets are made of ice, so, yeah.

Tres bien.

I think I'd probably kill time on a sports message board ranting and raving like I know stuff even though I don't really know half of what I think I know.

Stupid MLB. Winter doesn't start until the week after that.

That could be it, I don't know. But it seems a stretch that reduced pressure alone would drive his 5.0 BB9 to 3.3 while his SO9 remains intact.

He's a young uber athlete with a decent form at the line. How much was shooting prioritized in his formative years? Did he have to rely on it much at all, or was he primarily a slasher driving to the hoop? Maybe optimistic isn't the right word to use. Maybe patience is a better descriptor.

But is Kevin Knox still available?

I’m watching the Toledo Walleye game from last night. They fell behind 4-1 to Fort Wayne in the 1st and I almost turned it off. But I’m stubborn, I decided to stick with into the 2nd and see what happened. 6 unanswered goals later, my perseverance was paid off, 7-4 Walleye over the Komets.

I didn’t realize that was him. I picked up the game in the 2nd half and I obviously wasn’t fully absorbed into to the game.

And they’re not going to fix every pitcher. Anyone else notice Gregory Soto had his best season by far after leaving Detroit? Make no mistake, I think Fetter & Co are good at what they do. But buy broken & fix it up is not a fail proof approach.

Ivey still out due to “illness”?

I am optimistic he can become enough of a shooter that he needs to be defended honestly. It’s been brought up before that Cunningham needs shooters around him. Well, I think the same would work for Thompson. With his athleticism and his willingness to cut to the basket to rebound, it should work where, if they can get 3 shooters on the court, he can dive to the bucket without the ball while Cunningham handles it. Ideally everyone on the roster develop enough skills to the point where they are problems for the opponent in multiple facets. Take Stewart. He still needs work, but his 3 point shot is getting better. And please, for the love of everything holy, shoot from there rather than try to back your defender down from there, ok, Stew?

When U of Morality leaves the Big Ten, they can go to the MAC. They’ll have a conference schedule much like their preferred out of conference schedule, so that’ll be a plus. And ESPN will love having them on Tuesday/Wednesday night games late in the season.

Why not? Why not?

Looks like romad hacked MCS’ account.

We need to figure some scenario where Toledo gets into it this year. Start now, pencils down in 10 minutes.
