Riley Baez having a tough start to the year.  

Mize stuff looks great.  

I’m reminded that it has always looked good.   His issues in the past came from finding too much of the plate.  Only a very few guys are so elite they can miss in the middle of the zone and get away with it.

They asked the question over on Pride of Detroit so I figured I'd ask it here. What's the consensus around here on signing Tyler Boyd? Do people want him and what do you think it would cost to get him? Is he going to want more money/years than Holmes is willing to pay out?

Not sure what’s not to like.  He’s a better version of Josh Reynolds.

Texans are closing on a trade for Stefon Diggs

I know they see a window in the wide open AFC South but this guy doesn’t move the needle forward.

Maybe my objection to the specific word “celly” is that it’s so close to “Belli” (sounds like “belly”), which is a nickname for Cody Bellinger that sounds weirdly sexual when applied to him, and doubly so when applied to him by Boog Sciambi. 

I feel the same about the new cool kid line “standing on business”.  Although not weirdly sexual towards Cody Bellinger, it makes me want to cringe every time I hear it

New baseball pet peeve: calling what they do in the dugout after a home run a "celly". I had never seen that word until this past weekend and now I've seen it half-dozen times since.

Tell me you don’t watch hockey without telling me you don’t watch hockey.  

Joey Cora’s decision to send a runner is the same as Javy Baez staring in at slider a foot off the plate.  

Cam Sutton lost his guaranteed 8 figure contract because he went AWOL over what amounted to a single misdemeanor charge that will probably result with no legal punishment.   Total moron. 

My initial thoughts were this too but the reality is that none of these players were signing NFL contracts right now prior to joining the UFL.   They didn’t have much negotiating room and the league can set it up how they’d like.

5 goals, eh? He'll fit right in!

Michigan's last title was the spring of 1998. Have played in 8 Frozen Fours since then but eliminated in the semis 7 of those times.

Augustine got rocked by UM and loses 5-2.

UM will be in the Frozen Four.

He actually played really well. Maybe one goal that he’d like to have back but MSU struggled in front of him tonight.  He made a bunch of big saves on prime scoring chances. It easily could’ve been 7 or 8 goals.  

This is brutal with two strikes and two outs.

Just curious if anyone has seen or heard any rumblings concerning 4/19. 

It’s a good day to make sure you have weed.   

8 games to go and I think they are going to make it in.  

The big ones are Caps at LCA and a home and home with the Habs to end the season.   They need minimum 5 points from those and probably all 6 to be safe.    I think both Philly and Washington are going to feel the pressure and won’t finish strong.

Trey Augustine's MSU plays Michigan in the NCAA Regional Final today on ESPNU. Trip to the Frozen Four on the line.

This will be the 6th time these two teams have played this season.   MSU leads 4-1 but Michigan’s only win was a 7-1 curb stomping at Munn.   

Wings picks Red Savage (MSU) and Kieran Draper (UM) also in action.

what would you trade for luis robert?

Health is the only thing keeping him from being one of the top 10 overall players in the game.

His Dad is my son’s high school baseball coach. Small world.

That’s got to be one gritty baseball team.

He actually made it twice. A time-out was called just before he kicked the first one. Kid may be good...

Any idea how UFL contracts work.  Can NFL teams sign players at any time or do they have any agreement to wait until the end of the season? 

They need a Homer Toga to go along with the Pizza Spear

Chris should make them travel with their own Little Caeser’s take out locker and they can spear real pizza after a homer.

The home run celebration sucks.  Sucks out loud level of suck.

The hockey goal got to be pretty cringe by the end of last year.   

PIZZA SPEAR!!!!!

Meadows!!!!!!

The White Sox pulled the little league steal for a run.  🤦

Believe me, people have been saying…

Believe whatever you would like.  I’m not trying to convince you of anything.  I’ve taken a live and let live approach with other people’s ideas and styles. 
 

Nope.  

I know a few people, who I trust, that are more familiar with the organization than you, me, or the fine, fine people at CharityWatchdog.com
