    Jack Edwards to retire

    Jack was the inspiration for why I got my job in the NHL. I didn't grow up in a hockey family at all, but his absolute energy, for however you see that, was infectious. It made every moment feel like it meant more, that each step was another way to climb the mountain. Passion for what he did is...

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    So, how about the 20th century vs. 21st century in baseball? 1917, 2017: AL team beats NL team in World Series; NL team moved from New York after 1957. 1918, 2018: Red Sox win World Series. 1919, 2019: AL team who won WS in ‘17 loses this year. Both teams that lose this championship find their...

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    This season, entering today, 26 RBI allowed with two outs. Tied with the Phillies and Reds for 12th most. I know that’s imperfect since not every run scored has an RBI but I figure close enough.

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    ¡Yo la tengo! God, that’s awful. Hope both are okay as much as that’s relatively possible.

    4/10 - Weathers vs. Stroman

    Would've been the first Yankees grand slam since at least 1911 to be: Walkoff, down three runs, and with two outs. 15 such slams exist in this timeframe, including one given up by the Yankees in 1988 to Alan Trammell. Judge knew immediately he didn't get all of it right away, got a quite a bit...

    4/9 - Puk vs. Rodon

    Last time it was consecutive LHP vs. LHP matchups was pretty recent for the Yankees, May 19/21 of 2022, although against different teams (@BAL, vs. CHW, respectively). Same team, for Yankees specifically? August 5 and 6 of 2021 against the Mariners. Including this series, Cortes has been a...

    NCAA Men's Final Four Thread

    That game was awesome, result be damned, at least from my eyes. Best of luck to the Huskies to win it all. Extremely well coached, deep, and complimentary basketball. Way it's meant to be played. Classy bunch. No shame in going out to a juggernaut here. Best of luck with Purdue Moday, have to...

    George Will's Baseball Quiz - Spring 2024

    I scored 38 out of 41. Not bad at all this year honestly. A few silly misses but hey.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    With no minimums, Cliff Barker went 7-1 in March for Indianapolis back in the day. If you set it to 25 minimum games coached in a single month of combined seasons to get it around Udoka's range? The following tie or exceed Udoka's .852 W%, using regular season games only: -Billy Cunningham...

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    Arizona's 14 runs in the third ties the MLB record for any one team in the third inning overall, alongside the Cleveland Spiders against the Washington Nationals, on August 7, 1889. Before 1900 for the Langs stat, you have 18 by Chicago on September 6, 1883. That inning, three different White...

    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    Good chance to re-motivate. Can't be complacent, this is a good one to point to internally, ultimately. Frustrating in the moment but I think good for the team in the long term.

    NCAA Tournament Saturday 2nd Round Thread

    Oregon would be the first time in men's March Madness history to win a tournament game, any round, without attempting a free throw. Only one school, Illinois in 1986, has played such a game overall, in a Round of 32 56-58 loss to Alabama.
