Ryan's injury occurred last year at Wrigley Field, so I am skeptical of the claim. I have no idea though if this sort of thing is the result of overuse or just a specific incident. Regardless, it is an embarrassment for MLB to have not 1, but 2 teams staging home games at Minor League/Spring...

Thanks! Carew is sneaky low on the Twins/100 RBIs. Art Howe only being 1% was key. Lefty at 5% does seem high for a Twins/White Sox combo. Gaetti is really valuable and a versatile Grid stalwart. In addition to playing for 6 teams, G-Man checks boxes on 100 RBIs, 2000 Hits, All Star, Silver...

Twins Alert on the Grid. I've been waiting to spring the Swarzak selection for a run at Single Digit Rarity. It was an 8 Total earlier, but has crept up to 9.

I'm catching up to listening to the Dan Patrick Show from Wednesday after the firing. There were 2 startling facts: - KAT only had 1 blocked shot in the Pacers series. Wow. - Thibs gets a $30M buyout. Righteous bucks.

Good point. Also, while the Pacers never led until that last hoop, it did take the Thunder 45 seconds to score first. There was also a 35 second stretch it was tied at 10, the 7 minute mark of the 1st Q. https://www.espn.com/nba/playbyplay/_/gameId/401766122 That's a lot of math.

FYI, NBA Games are 4 Quarters at 12 minutes each. 😎 There wasn't a 5th Quarter per your math, but still remarkable to only lead for 0.3 seconds and win the ballgame. 47.7 minutes.

Down 7-0 through 3.

Do you recall what I hand counted at Williams Arena in the November 2008 Tourney the Gophers hosted for the Bowling Green vs Georgia St battle? It was a prelude to Gophers vs Concordia (St Paul). I think it was under 100 (at Tip Off).

It was the "before the playoffs" part of the equation that I was referencing your optimism.

Regarding Baltimore specifically, I think it's a bit of Fools Gold, bolstered by a 3 game sweep over the White Sox. The math does not really work out for them, still 12 games under .500 and lots of games against the AL East. While they have another series with the A's this weekend to inch them...

Quite an optimistic take on your part, especially for the number of starts Lopez will miss. It is a rather soft AL field they are currently competing with though for a Wild Card berth. Depends on Twins offensive production.

The St Thomas board was created to make it easier for Gopher fans to ignore Tommy centric content

Another day another hit for Royce, on a heater.

On SportsCenter it was noted that Indianapolis & Oklahoma City are the closest (via air) for any 2 teams in the NBA Finals since 1971 (Baltimore vs Milwaukee). That'll help since there are very few (if any) direct flights between OKC & IND.

Same injury that Joe Ryan had in August last year which ended his season.
