always a little worried each spring about guys on the wrong side of 30 but Javy looks OK so far.

In the country's entire history, has there ever been a smaller, more venal man in public life? And for 70 million people that alone wasn't enough disqualification? We have a gotten to where we have a seriously retrograde social culture to fix in this country.

is already a better 3B than any one even hopes Colt can be. (and I'm a fan of Keith's)

42 (which just happens to be THE answer)

"Load Management' comes to MLB!

If you read lips, it was "WTF!"

Kevin McGonigle is: Slumping and down to 50/50 to make the team (as per Petzold today).

it dipped to ~6250 on 'Tariff Day' (Aug 1 last year). Hit that and it would just about be down 10% = "a correction"

Lequerica's some work to do.

then Max flattens the poor Pirates’ 1b, who decided to wander across the baseline without bothering to look.

all the statements coming from the admin since this began have primarily been aimed at talking down the oil market and reducing the downward drift of the stock market, but as usual with Trump, any correlation between what is said and reality is purely coincidental.

They announced pulling the plug on the 'metaverse' effort after sinking $80B into it. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/18/meta-horizon-worlds-metaverse-vr.html

and this war is costing us a lot more than what we may save in nat gas prices.

that's fine. The S&P has also lost $3 Trillion dollars in equity since this escapade started. A good chunk of that has disappeared from American's pension and retirement accounts. Paying a higher price for methane would be the better deal if you could get it. I'd also note that the only reason nat gas prices in the US are not up is because we don't have the export capacity to move more gas to where the price is better. You can bet that if we did, you would not be getting much discount from world prices out any patriotic bleeding heart of US producers. And you can bet producers are doing everything they can to get to where they have the infrastructure to export more.

he was the vote to get Mullin out of committee. I guess anyone had to be better than Noem, but as on the of Dems on the committee said "what a low bar".

LOL - I've Spring Skied in Co when it was 70s at the bottom of the mountain and maybe 30 at the top. It still fun but you have to be off the mountain by about noon when the upper slopes turn into ice and the lower ones into lakes......

then there is Phil Knight at Oregon. I guess he's not tech but he sure bleeds "green". (tee-hee)

she's not much a prize to win.

The best outcome of this kind of thing would be for about half of D-1 to just opt out of the whole thing and go back to a completely non-profit model, club based sports, free student tickets etc. Games where nothing is on the line but school pride and a good time. Of course it won't happen, but it should.

Glad to hear it's still there. Our refinery group would do Mancy's when bonuses were paid.

Yup. And I like Faulk. He skates well enough he's hard for opponents to forecheck or tie up. That's a nice add.

LOL - I suppose, but don't forget there are a couple of schools adopted by Tech Bros to broaden the field. 🙄 I seem to be done with college sports anyway. I'm not finding the rent-a-teams interesting at all. We have a group of close close friends, we're all UM alums, and they are all excited about the Tourney now - it just leaves me cold, and that's never been true before.

I've been assuming for some time now that Sweeney is out of any immediate plans for the 25 but particularly if McGonigle comes north, they'll want another SS at Toledo anyway.

ST is still a small and questionable sample to look at, I'd rather we had seen what he did in 300 AB at AAA, but BB/K and OBP sure seem to be holding up so far, and where ever his D settles out, he has shown that his arm is fine and the glove is reasonable. Fitting him in is going to be tricky. It would certainly easier to send him to Toledo and bring him up when someone is inevitably hurt so that it wouldn't be so much of a line-up juggle, but that's what they pay Hinch the big bucks for.

IDK about 'dead', but for sure there is going to be some buyer's remorse over setting up conferences with a lot of 4+ hr by jet trips.
