Take a picture of the record at .500 on this date.

They won't be seeing it again this year.

Worst bullpen in the majors torpedoing any night when the mediocre offense actually scores a few runs or the mediocre starters keep them in the game for the first 5 inning or so.


The rest of 2026 =

Knicks fans out here are insufferable (more than usual)

Can see the Buckeyes flying their drones above these kids at the other schools, with heavy duty receivers trying to catch any conversations that might occur. Or maybe the newsies.

Like that this kid is taking his time. Certainly would hope he commits to tOSU, and believe he will, but certainly needs to satisfy himself, and his parents, that one is the best place than the others for his next 3-4 years. tOSU has put a bunch of running backs into the league, but so have other schools. Are there any interviews from him after his visit? Would bet he'll say the right things, and not denigrate any of the other schools he's going to visit.

Would think that tOSU recruiter would play up the training/teaching that LJsr would do, but also point out the depth in front of them. That depth is something that the 'lesser lights' would use against the Buckeyes. Heck, if one can get more NIL $, and more PT, then sounds like a win-win for the recruit. The pro scouts seem to find talent anywhere it resides, so that is another consideration.

Kinda thought so, hoped for. Football gets all the buzz, pictures galore of the players coming in for summer work-outs, etc. But BBall never quite gets the ink. Do they get put up at the Blackburn (?) as well?

Guess you gotta have the gold to make the rules. Or be part of things. Guess will look into buying a day pass next year. Knew a couple of people that were members, but at my age, they'll either have gone away, or don't care anymore. Same at Scioto. In grad school ('76), was told that people were leaving Muirfield as the course was 'too hard' to play/enjoy. Certainly from the tips would imagine, but probably from the more forward tees as well. And, to put all my cards on the table, my game isn't as strong as once was. Try to play whichever tees top out around 6,000 yards. Anyway, have attended several pro events in Northern California, so am looking forward to walking Jack's course. PS, on another note, can anyone tell me about the CC of Dublin? Looks to be right across the street from Muirfield. Thanks in advance.

Old school, and use my Armor All. Or use the Tire Black on the molding as well. Basically the spray and forget stuff. I've always managed to get paste wax on the luggage rack stuff, and it gets white, and never comes off. Use the Armor All, white goes away, but when the AA dries the white stuff is back again. And yes, have used a stiff plastic brush on it when wet as well. If you've got a better solution, am all ears.

$3.93 a gallon when I filled up the other car this morning. Odd to see the price drop on a summer weekend.

I do not believe these Finals are going as the Illuminati scripted during the offseason.

Knicks up 2-0 going into NY?!?!

NASCAR Hall of Fame driver, announcer Ned Jarrett dies at 93​

NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, a two-time Cup champion and longtime broadcaster, died peacefully Thursday of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina, his family announced. He was 93.

Jarrett won 50 races during his career and was the champion of NASCAR's top series in 1961 and 1965, when he won 13 races and finished in the top five in 42 of 54 races despite breaking his back in a June wreck at Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway.
.
.
He returned to the sport as a radio broadcaster with MRN in 1978, and he later moved to the television booth with CBS and ESPN. One of his signature moments came at the 1993 Daytona 500, when he called the finish to the race and openly rooted as his son, Dale Jarrett, took the checkered flag ahead of Dale Earnhardt.
.
.
The Jarretts were the second father-son combination to win championships at NASCAR's highest level, and both are members of the Hall of Fame.

R.I.P.

High level basketball!

Iran players receive U.S. visas for 2026 World Cup​

Just sayin': A match between USA and Iran would be interesting. It will probably never happen; however, according to Google AI it is possible.

The implied odds of Iran playing USA in a 2026 World Cup match sit a roughly +669, as calculated by matching predictive tools, because they are drawn into entirely different groups. To make this match happen, both nations must advance from their respective opening stages and align on a fixed knockout bracket.

Group Stage Landscapes
Because the teams are separate, a group-stage meeting is impossible. Their respective chances to win their groups or advance are:

• The United States (Group D): Drawn with Austria, Paraguay, and Türkiye. The USA is a +125 favorite to win Group D and holds a 78% chance of advancing to the knockout stage.
• Iran (Group G): Drawn with Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand. Iran is a +650 underdog to win Group G (a 13% implied chance), but holds a strong 74% overall chance to advance to the next round.

Knockout Scenarios
A potential matchup relies on two primary pathways in the bracket:

• Scenario 1: Round of 32 (Most Realistic): For the quickest meeting, both the USA and Iran must finish as the runners-up in their respective groups. If this alignment occurs, they will face off directly in a knockout elimination match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
• Scenario 2: Round of 16: If both teams win their groups and successfully win their subsequent Round of 32 matches, they will advance to meet one another in the Round of 16

Up 3-0 top 1st....now down 10-3

Cavs better just park their ass in the weight room because this football game also aka game 2 of the finals the Cavs would be getting their ass beat to a pulp. This is a rough ass brutal game. Cavs do not have this level of physicality

Super close! Nice to be right near the river. Used to catch a lot of bass, sunfish, and white perch, and an occasional walleye, at Hunt’s Meadow, a setback of the Connecticut River just South of town off of Vernon St/142. We’d walk along the RR tracks to a little bridge where the water flowed between the river and the setback. Good times.

TBH, I've really reduced my interest / following recruiting since NIL. Given that we're at page 2 in this thread and it's June, was is offer an OFFER or an offer?

Click to expand...

All valid points. And he actually had an OFFER. But I doubt OSU was going to try and match IU if they believe they have a real chance with Fahkatou and Currie. And Imo Perez was behind Brayden Parks from IL, who was a legit college ready 3tech size. Where Perez will need a RS shirt year to gain and keep on size.

No shade, Perez would’ve been a very good pickup, and he is that for IU. But Fakatou and Currie would an ELITE DL class, and could have 2guys that are game changing type IDL(but Fakatou can be moved all over the DL). IMO, Perez was a poor man’s Fakatou(and that’s not an insult there's just levels to athleticism for guys that big playing DL)
