    4/3 - Rodon vs. Kelly

    I will fall on my sword and start a gamethread on a Rodon start. He was OK in his first start, but it would be nice to see him pitch a bit deeper. And to walk less people. Edit: Lineup is already posted because it's a day game. Torres, 2b Soto, rf Judge, dh Rizzo, 1b Volpe, ss Verdugo, lf...

    Marlins hire Rachel Balkovec as Minor League director

    Balkovec has been a manager in the Yankees minor league system the last two years and is the only female to be a manager at the professional level. This is very cool and she will definitely be missed by the Yankees. She managed a lot of the young star prospects who are now hitting the big...

    2024 CONMEBOL Copa America tournament

    The schedule, group pots and venues have all been announced in the last week and the draw is sometime this week. The USMNT qualified with its most recent win. Pretty disappointing that pretty much all of the games are either midwest or the south. No Seattle, no Chicago, no Philadelphia, no...

    An ode to Jim Caple (RIP)

    Like many of you, I grew up reading Caple on ESPN.com Page 2. I loved the minutiae and stats and humor and his tremendous storytelling. His nephew, Christian, who was laid off by The Athletic in the spring and recently launched a website dedicated to UW sports, wrote an incredible obit that is...

    4/18-4/20 - Angels at Yankees

    The Angels come to the Bronx after losing three of four in Boston. It would be nice to keep their misery going. MLB is really pushing the Ohtani vs Judge thing, which whatever, but I'd rather just celebrate two amazing athletes, but I'm more magnanimous as I get older. Tuesday, April 18: J...

    Choose your own adventure: Seahawks style

    You are the Seattle Seahawks. You have a 3-8 team with a mildly broken QB and no first round draft picks. Do you try to convince Russ to run it back and say this year was an anomaly? Do you trade Russ for as many first round picks as you can? Also, who is a team who wants him and where does he...

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    This popped up last night, first being reported by TMZ. The Athletic has a ton of detail on the allegations as related in the restraining order and it is horrifying. The woman alleges consensual sex quickly turned into choking, punching, scratching, sodomy and more. Bauer said the woman asked...

    Clint Dempsey retires

    Not sure if this deserves its own thread or not, but Clint Dempsey announced his retirement effective immediately just now. He hadn't been playing, but this still comes as a big surprise to me.

    All is forgiven, Ray?

    Per Paul Pierce's Instagram account it is. Edit: I feel like I used some very poor grammar in the thread title, but I've been drinking so I'm not sure. I digress.

    Do wireless routers go bad?

    I have a Netgear wnr200v3 router that I think I bought in 2012 or so. I pay my internet company for 30mbps download but routinely only get 20 and sometimes less. I have a Motorola Surfboard modem I bought in 2014. Both of these are in my garage and my house is pretty small (1100 square feet)...

    Final Four Thread

    Surprised at the lack of talk about this year's Final Four. Is it because of all the newcomers? I could totally see Gonzaga blowing its chance at a title when it is right there in front of them. I think the Oregon-UNC game could be an instant classic. Go Zags. And go Heels.
