If the Twins squeezed the Tigers to take Dobnak in the Paddock trade for his $1 million dollar salary, one can only imagine the meager return Correa would fetch; nonetheless clear the books of that salary!

I had my first colonscopy a couple of weeks ago and while the preparation the day before is no picnic (self induced diarrehea-good times!), the actual procedure is relatively quick and I was knocked out for it. It turns out I had three polyps, all small, removed easily and nothing to worry...

In the summer of '84, I was moving with my parents from central MN to southern MN, before the start of 7th grade. This involved many trips back and forth in pick-ups and for a townie kid to be moving out to farm country, my head wasn't in a very good space. On one of these trips, we were...

A bit of a football transgression. . . In 2020, Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton threw a touchdown to Dalton Schultz, the first time in NFL history where a TD pass was thrown by a player whose last name matched the receiver's first name. The next season, Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush threw a...

In 1966, Larry Jaster of the St. Louis Cardinals threw five shutouts, all against the Dodgers, earning himself the nickname, "Dodger Killer". He only pitched two other shutouts the rest of his career and was out of the game in 1972.

On August 17, 1957, Richie Ashburn struck a foul ball into the stands, breaking the nose of spectator Alice Roth. As Roth was being carried out of the stadium on a stretcher, Ashburn hit her with another foul ball, breaking a bone in her knee.

Gaylord Perry was such a poor hitter that in 1962 or '63, his manager Alvin Dark made the quip, "there'll be a man on the moon before Perry hits a home run." On July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon at 1:17 p.m. 34 minutes later, Perry launched his first career home run against the Dodgers.

I echo your appraisal of The Brutalist-I was reluctant to dive into such a long movie and I had heard some digs about its pacing, but I found the story incredibly compelling. Great acting all around and Brody definitely deserved the Oscar, but I dare say that Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones were...

I forgot to mention, I also watched Adventureland on the flight home and sorry to say, it didn’t clear the bar of TWWB for me. I liked it, but no one matched the charisma of Rockwell, the character that kept hitting Eisenberg’s character in the nuts was annoying as fck, and in relation to that...

A mystery to me also-btw, I saw somewhere that Rich Hill joined Edwin Jackson this week, each having played for 14 teams; Jackson has the bonus of being born in Germany though, so he can stake the claim of king of IG.

I'd much rather they trade the relievers than Ryan or Lopez (not that Lopez is a candidate, but you get my gist). The reason you pointed out and I've highlighted above is the reason that some teams out there might be willing to give up top prospects rather than the likely meager, years away...

And if they can garner anything for Brock Stewart, deal him too. Let's see how Varland does in the closer role for the back end of this season. As has been pointed out by others much smarter than me, bullpen arms are: a) mercurial; b) easier to replace/reclamate than starting...

My first movie on my long return trip to India was Tango & Cash, which I watched for the first time since perhaps the movie theatre (I discovered afterward it was the very last movie released of the '80s, through Bill Simmons' Rewatchables podcast) and it was so awesome in its overwhelming '80s...

I don't think this has been discussed on here when it originally was released in theatres, but watched Robert Zemeckis' Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright as the leads (no, it wasn't what would have happened if Jenny never got AIDS, although if Forrest was a bit more sharp. . .) I really was...

I finally got around to watching I'm Still Here on my flight back to India and it was stunningly devastating--without giving away too much, the last 15 minutes or so, set in present times, had me wiping away tears, but the entire movie is a powerhouse throughout. As with you, I knew little of...

Here’s a scolding for us all. I wonder how many of the board members have side pieces? https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/18/editorial-at-a-coldplay-concert-a-kiss-cam-catches-a-cuddle-and-ruins-lives/

What's the popular conservative/MAGA saying? Feelings aren't facts? LOL, again, your distaste for Colbert doesn't reside in facts. The fact is, as has been stated by several others on here already, the late night show format is dying and has been for quite awhile, all the numbers bear that...

Supposedly he was seriously considering signing with the T-Wolves but ultimately decided to return to Portland. That would have been a fascinating addition, although I don’t know that he would have gotten them closer to breaking through.

Hell, the broadcast channels might as well roll it back to the ‘70s, save some cash, and bring this back (except at 10:30, not midnight): On second thought, at 11:00-first run Cheers reruns; Cheers always felt right at 10:30. And of course, Benny Hill on Sunday nights.

It should also be added, while Gutfield’s numbers far outpace Colbert’s, he’s also coming onto screens at 9pm central time, a full hour and a half before Colbert and the rest. Gutfield’s show is shown during traditional prime time format.
