I was never a big Cub fan, but Ryno was awesome... Dude could flat out play and his glove was special.

Sandberg still gets me a bit this afternoon.

Ya know? Even though I wasn't a Cubs fan there was just something to watching WGN in the afternoons. Sax will remain where he is but Sandberg is right there in my favorite second basemen.

One of the ones I grew up watching. As a primary second baseman myself he was a guy I enjoyed watching and emulated in the yard like a number of guys. He was a good one.

24 hours ago. I finished up what I need to do and turned on CBS Sports HQ. Hey, a bit of comedy watching the Yankees blow their game.

Now? Getting doubled off an infield fly to go 0-2 in the series? The Yanks?

This is starting to be better than Thursday nights on NBC a quarter of a century ago.

Braves-Reds recap from a fan:


Parking situation was horrendous. I pre purchased a parking pass and circled back and forth for over an hour finding the right lot. Even though was a stadium parking pass was over a mile to the stadium. With the first rain delay all went to get food. We stood in line for over an hour and when we got close to the window they announced they had run out. This was prior to the game even starting! Seats were absolutely horrible and replay screens were too small to help much. Sightings were atrocious. Weather sucked and was actually cold. We left prior to the final rain delay. Will not be returning tomorrow. Other than all that was well run

I've thought about this a few times today. Two videos here. Was Jazz thinking about the first one? Tagged out at second?

I'm probably a bit weird since I think about things like this (the production of shots) when I watch games (of any sport), but here's a good look at an example of it in MLB during a Rangers walk-off HR...

No clue what Chissolm was thinking there. Boone is terrible if he jumped the coach and not Chissolm.

One of my classes in RP entailed spending a day in TV truck with the producer. I was mesmerized at how quickly those guy see and respond.

Ya may not like Ohtani. But ya gotta respect him.

I just heard he's the first since 1920 with 500 SO's and 1000 H's.

Is Duran the one who caught the balk (blue missed it?)

He noticed it but so did the 3rd base ump.

Took a few replays to me to see his left arm pointing.

When it comes to baseball, the RF to C ... always among my favorite highlights.

The curveball...geez.
