Over the past couple of years, there have been quite a few baseball legends passing away. It did get me thinking of who we would now consider the ten greatest living baseball players. It used to really mean something to be called that. I’m sure you could ask 100 different baseball fans and get just as many different lists. Here’s my Top 10 Greatest Living Baseball Players: 10. Mike Trout...
If you remember, that wasn’t always the case. That year the normal intended starting 5 played just 10 games together and 111 minutes. They just couldn’t catch a health break. That changed last night while north of the border. With Jayson Tatum getting his much deserved rest day, things were already going to be a challenge. Throughout a regular season, you’re looking for certain tests. How does a team stack up against the best?...
The Cincinnati Bengals are massive underdogs in Buffalo on Sunday or are they? I would say, “THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!” or “I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!” but I’m not surprised in the least. I struggle to recall a more disrespected reigning conference champion than the current iteration of the Bengals. I thought afive-pointspread was pretty rich. Guess there are sharp bettors with brighter minds than mine. I must just be a homer....
I’ve grown to resent the phrase “Brevity is the soul of wit.” It flies in the face of everything I write. I prefer a lengthy blog. A good blog should be a grind for the reader to get through. “Hmm John Rich hasn’t posted a blog in a while. What’s that about? Wait.. here’s one. Oh wow, it’s 10,000 words long. He must have worked tirelessly on this for the last several days....
There are 5 positions that stand out as needing major work. Some will be easier to fill through the draft, but they need depth either way. However, where is the fun in speculation if you have to factor that into the situation. Note: Most of this info is fromSpotrac, so yell at them if anything is wrong. Chark: He has 4.3 speed and ranked 6th on the year in big play percentage this season....
I’m not sure about anyone else, but I am still jazzed as fuck after last night. Didn’t sleep a wink, but for all the right reasons this time. So being able to avoid that despair was a big-time win for me mentally which I appreciated. I imagine the team felt the same way. There wasn’t too much “basketball” importance in this game last night. The importance was all mental. The Warriors were a demon this team had to collectively overcome....
I’m not a massive concert guy. I can count on two hands the bands/ artists I have gone to see at a concert. That doesn’t count either. Mayer multiple times, and Billy Joel the most. A very short list. I really only want to see a concert if I love the artist. And I really love Billy Joel. It’s now been almost 10 years of sellouts and doesn’t look to be slowing down....
The penalty has been added to the British governments Online Safety Bill. The revisions also mandate the removal ofvideos depicting illegal immigration in a positive light. The changes follow pressure from politicians in the ruling Conservative party. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Child safety groupswelcomed the moveto make executives criminally liable, but critics have raised an array of concerns. A patchwork of complaints The diversity of the dissent is striking....
I can still hear Dave screaming about the ideal gas law simply typing #Deflategate. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott they are in the clear and have spoken to the league about the allegations. Using any object, no matter the size, is against the rules. But I was over that game as soon as it ended. This is what Jake Elliott said about everything. Weve always used something thats within the rules, Elliott said....
The Twins and Marlins just finalized a trade that’s seemingly been in the works for weeks now. The main pieces moving that you’ll know? The reigning AL batting champion Luis Arraez is heading to the Marlins in exchange for starting pitcher Pablo Lopez. Arraez is the first batting champ to be traded in the following offseason since Rod Carew in 1978. For a little while now starting pitcher Pablo Lopez had been on the trade block....
I’m not sure Andy Murray has the appreciation he deserves over here in the United States. Actually scratch that, I know he doesn’t. That was a massive deal when it happened back in 2013. The odds of it being successful and causing him to return to the court full-time were pretty low. Well, he had the surgery and basically acquired a metal hip. Over the next few years he’d basically have to re-learn how to play the sport....
The newly-announced Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP) aims to makeEuropethe home of clean tech. To support this, a new Net-Zero Industry Act will set clear goals for European clean tech by 2030. In essence, it will target investments on strategic projects along the entire supply chain. 40% off TNW Conference! The plans second focal point is to drive up investment and financing of clean tech production. And to ensure funding support across the entire Union, the Commission will prepare a European Sovereignty Fund....
The day has finally arrived. Some will say today is just Game 46 on the schedule. I call those people liars. Today is not just some random game, sorry. I know that’s what the players and coaches will say, but that’s because they have to. The fact of the matter is, until we’re shown otherwise, the Warriors own this team. Here’s a prime example, do the Celts own the Nets?...
