as @raford3.bsky.social said on the broadcast, really nice of all the As fans to chant “Tuuuuuuv” for Jose, and he rewards them with an RBI hit #Astros

Czech manager Pavel Chadim knows that this year's tournament is much more difficult, having to face three of the top four rated nations in the world. Some mornings, I am brave," Chadim said, "and some mornings, I want to run home.”

Rice, Tulsa, Wake Forest, & Air Force are the 4 FBS schools smaller than UW-River Falls. I believe Wisconsin & New York are the only two states with public universities that compete in Division III football.

If you had told me in 1997, when I was listening to Semi-Charmed Life on the radio on the boom box in my college dorm room, that it would be performed live during of a college football playoff game in 2026, I would’ve had all sorts of questions.

Missed free throws the big story, of course. But if you told me Syracuse would have a chance to beat Houston without their leading scorer, I would take that every time. If the Orange keep guarding like they did today, they’ll be fine.

Walter Alston got hired in part because previous Dodgers manager Charlie Dressen asked for a multi-year deal.Tommy Lasorda’s 3-year contract in 1984 was the first ever multi-year contract for a Dodgers manager.
