Wow, that Japan-Korea game.
Wow, that Japan-Korea game.
Team USA has walked 17 times tonight. In the Major Leagues, only six teams have ever walked 17 times in a nine-inning game, and only one since 1949.

Trayce just made a big catch at the wall in right.
With a Trayce.
Had a two-hit game in the Major Leagues one time ... playing shortstop during Josh Beckett's no-hitter.
This takes me back.
My goal this year is to go from a 9 to a 2. Gonna spend that big money on an extra tube every five years.
I did that once.
On a scale of one to 10, 10 being the most intense, how hard do you work to get every last bit out of the toothpaste tube?
Just ordered 30 Double-Doubles to go for Youngest Master Weismanβs baseball team.
Might be a stretch, amazingly.
Well, of course Iβm old :)
I brought up Debi Thomas today, and several sports-savvy people had never heard of her. It makes me think that figure skating broadcasts over the years have not done nearly enough to keep her importance alive.
Thanks. Funny, itβs been the opposite experience for me.
No but I did read Ulysses among others.
Oh, same.
I'm reading Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon, and I feel like I might as well be reading James Joyce. It's impressive as hell but exhausting, and I feel like I'm understanding like a third of it.
Turn signals are the easiest things in the world to use.
Alpine skiing coverage at the Olympics is the best it has ever been, but the Holy Grail that hasn't been achieved is illustrating how steep the courses are.
Which defensive player should it be?
If the Super Bowl MVP isnβt a defensive player, something will have gone horribly wrong.
Me on the death of the Washington Post sports section.
This isn't a day to be nostalgic. It's a day to be angry.

What has happened at the Washington Post today is grotesque. It's demented. I want to say it's evil. Maybe at the end of the day, you might say "it's just a newspaper." Many things in this world matter more. But it doesn't change another signifier that our world is full of rot.
A Stanford baseball icon.
This canβt be. Iβm floored.

Yes.
Wilbur Wood, Tom Bradley and Stan Bahnsen combined to start 130 of the White Sox' 162 games in 1972.
The three pitchers accounted for 889 of the 1,385 1/3 innings thrown by the Sox -- 64.1 percent.
Wood threw 1,681 2/3 innings in five seasons from 1971-75 with 99 complete games.
Essential.
And yes, the first story itself is plenty creepy.
