I Refuse To Feel Bad For Team Canada's 19 Year Old SP Mitch Bratt After He Lost To Team USA Last Night

Let me break it down quote by quote though. I just don’t have theslightestclue what we’re talking about here. Mitch Bratt is the 15th-ish ranked prospect in a very good Texas Rangers system. But again, the WBC is an exhibition. Was he shitting his pants? We all would be in his position. But this ain’t some random kid. He’s a kid with a big league future.

Sam Burns Has His Eyes Set On A 3-Peat At The Valspar Championship in Tampa, FL

With that said, there’s still a decent field here this week. It’s a par 71, but not by way that Par 71’s are usually constructed. A typical par 71 just means it has one less par 5 than a traditional par 72 course. So this is a test of the mid and long irons for sure. Holes 16-18 are referred to as the Snake Pit. Everything I pretty much said about the Bear Trap at PGA National can apply here....

The Annual Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Police Blotter Round Up

Chicago really is a special place for St. Patricks day. And for providing a ton of these updates.

The Time Has Come For The Celtics To Wake The Hell Up And Get Their Shit Together

Over the course of an NBA season, embarrassing losses are going to happen to everyone. Take the Rockets for example. We’ve seen them beat the Sixers, Bucks, Suns, etc. But here’s the thing with that. The Sixers win came on December 5th (with Embiid/Harden playing). The Bucks win came on December 11th (fully healthy). There is a drastic difference when you look at what the Celtics did last night. Last time I checked, it’s March 14th....

New plans for a GDPR replacement have divided Britain’s tech sector

Introduced in Parliament last week, the bill aims to boost economic growth while protecting privacy. The shadow of the UKs withdrawal from the EU looms large over the plans. In its pitch for the bill, the government pledges to unleash an elusive Brexit dividend. No longer will our businesses and citizens have to tangle themselves around the barrier-based European GDPR. Thats the plan, at least but its already proved divisive....

Team USA Just Got Their Asses Handed To Them By Mexico And Now Find Themselves In a Must-Win Situation In The World Baseball Classic

No other way to say it, that was straight up embarrassing from Team USA. It’s one thing to lose a group stage game. For a second there I thought they were about to get mercy ruled in the 8th.
