Neck-and-neck with Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey in '79 (?).

I had never realized Lenny Randle’s infamous bunt was a week before this and was part of why the crowd was riled up already

Fuck the Rangers!

Michael Kelly pitched for Sugar Land and Corpus back in 2021.

The more front and center gambling is in sports, the less intense my interest will be.

JimR · June 4, 2024, 8:38pm

I totally agree. Too much now for me.

Col.SphinxDrummond · June 4, 2024, 10:03pm

I am so weary of sports books and their ads their come ons I hate to see it at this level of involvement with pro sports teams. It does nothing to enhance the integrity of an already suspect league. I’m not and never have been a sports gambler. Or cards, slots, wheels, or what not. I’m not against a friendly wager now and then with an acquaintance but I have learned in doing that that there is never a sure thing. Fucking Joe Montana…

Me too. I don’t have any particular moral objection against sports gambling, it’s just not the prism through which I want to consume sports.

Cavan Biggio DFA’d by Toronto.

Dana, don’t you dare…

I was really surprised by how bad he’s been this year. Looking at his numbers the last few years though, I probably shouldn’t be.

If the British invented baseball

I feel like they would run the bases in the opposite direction so you’d need to swap Wumpus and 3rd Plate.

Pretty good pitching duel going on in St Louis between Skenes and Mikolas. 0-0 after 5 1/2. Mikolas hasn’t given up a hit through 6.

Col.SphinxDrummond · June 12, 2024, 1:14am

Reynolds leads off the Pirates 7th with a triple.

AstrosFanInBigD · June 12, 2024, 2:34am

Pit won 2-1.

Skenes 6.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 8 K, 0 BB
Mikolas 7 IP, 1H, 0 R, 6 K, 1 BB

All the scoring was in the 9th.

MikeS · June 12, 2024, 3:31am

So, the Astros bullpen was involved?

moriarty · June 12, 2024, 1:53pm

Traded to LAD

MusicMan · June 15, 2024, 2:40pm

Apologies if Cabrera, but the Rays released renderings of their proposed new ballpark, and the St. Pete city council just approved the zoning. Bigger votes still remain but it’s starting to seem like this may get done.

HudsonHawk · June 15, 2024, 3:47pm

I’m hoping the Rays get a new yard, and am glad to see it moving forward. But this rendering looks nothing like the one I have designed in my head. Which is unfortunate because mine is spectacular.

Ty is turning back flips.
