I like Horton. Haven't heard enough of Glenner to have an opinion one way or another. I couldn't figure out why they let Benz go to begin with, but admittedly Grady was a big step up in hindsight.

A lot of the national guys still maintain a local gig. Marv Albert still called Knicks games even when he was the primary NBC (later TNT) announcer. Mike Breen does too. At the least they'll need more of a part timer though to pick up some slack.

Byron Buxton with a Day-Night / Target Field-Center Doubleheader.

On the bright side, the Twins are just 2 GB from the last AL Wild Card slot currently occupied by the Sac A's.

Buck did draw 2 Walks today and scored both times. No hits but also gunned a guy out at the plate.

In the moment, even as a Twins fan, I wouldn't have rated it #1, with only 1 run 10 innings. Heck at the time I would have said Puckett's Catch of the Plexiglass and Walk-Off HR in the B11th the night before was a better game. Even now Red Sox/Mets G6 '86 WS with Reds/Red Sox G6 '75 WS, all 3 a...

I looked at Kirby's Baseball Reference page and noticed he made the All Star Game in his final 10 seasons, thinking that might be quite rare. Then I looked at Cal Ripken Jr. He made it in each of his last 19 seasons, almost doubling Puckett. Cal's started in 1983, 3 seasons before Kirby's 1st...

Sean Penn knew what he was doing on that film. Interesting sidenote, Bill Pohlad was a co-producer on the project. Into the Wild is one of several projects he and Penn have worked on together.

I could have just as easily added Corey Koskie as being surprised that he's on the 6WAR list but former AL MVP Justin Morneau is absent.

He was difficult to watch tonight.

Colorado Av's have their own inept streak as well. Going back to 2002 they have lost Seven straight Game 7 contests.

Twins Alert on todays Grid: Braves - Bartolo Colon / 8% Brewers - Matt Garza / 1% 6WAR - Johan Santana / 10% Looking at the WAR category, the 2 biggest surprises (not including the Senators) for me are Jerry Koosman & Joe Mays.

Bill James developed a Pythagorean Expectation formula based on Runs Scored/Allowed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_expectation

Happy 41st Anniversary to Kong, 1 day late. PTI gave the Dave Kingman Ground Roof Double some run on their Happys segment before the Big Finish today. I found this Ch 5 clip for the 20th Anniversary.

I"ve been meaning to read it for over 15 years now, thanks for the additional recommendation. My cousin, who liked both, said the film is pretty faithful to the book.

I revisited Into the Wild over the weekend for the first time since 2020, so 5 yrs from the most recent viewing and #8 on my All Time list. I could see how some might say I favored this movie as fan of Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam. Actually the opposite is true. I am a fan of Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam...

Probably as good a winning a PGA Tournament by 8 strokes. :cool:

The Admiral was Drafted #1 in 1987 which was the season before Pop joined the Spurs as an Assistant Coach. It was a gutsy pick in some respect by the Spurs because he had to fulfill 2 years of Military Service, having gone to Navy. Rookie season was not until 1989-90. Some other pretty good...

Immaculate Grid stalwart.

Pop does't suffer fools.
