All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

Damnit, so close

For this team to lose 2 games during the course any standard regular 82 game NBA season it would take severe foul trouble by the starters along with a really crappy bench. That's even with Luka going half speed on D.

Or load management by multiple starters.

Maybe it assumes people like you and I are the bench for these teams.

I have 6 fouls to give. I also made 3 of 10 FTs at the gym a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure I could be that good (30%) in game action though.

I think it would take some hard work just to be able to hit the rim 90-95% of the time in order to give The Stilt and Big Fundamental a chance at the Offensive Rebound.

Been a minute on a Twins Grid Alert.

Orlando Cabrera was a New Player find by accident while looking up Orlando Hudson recently. OC had a brief Minnesota tenure in 2009.

Rich Rollins came to light as one of the 1st Twins All Stars.

I was excited to put Cotton Nash onto the grid for the first time today, he didn’t do much in baseball but he was a great basketball player for U of Kentucky, at one time he was their all-time leading scorer. Surprisingly, Matt Lawton was a newcomer for me today, I figured he would have been used in the early days.

My New Player today is Jim Delsing. If you turn on ESPN this month and just wait a few minutes it's pretty much a guarantee his grandson will pop up for a quick hit.

That would be Taylor Twellman, a Soccer Talking Head, making 100s of appearances with the big world tournament going on.

I was able to complete today’s grid with all Twins alums, in my ongoing quest to have my Top 20 all be former Twins, which is still an uphill climb-Kaat joined earlier this week, so I have 12 of the 20 squares represented by alums.

Twins Alert on the Grid. Only New Player is Minnesota Native and former Gopher WS Champion, Jerry Kindall.

He went on to Coach the Arizona Wildcats to 3 Titles.



Gary Carter has now cracked the 100 Club.

Back to my post about nicknames, there's an MLB player listed on the Grid as: "The Only Nolan".

Nolan was expelled by Indianapolis on August 14 when he told the team he was going to a funeral but instead went drinking.

My kind of player.

New Player today is now a favorite of mine, Sugar Cain. He hung around the Show for 7 seasons, despite never having a sub 4.00 ERA.

My overall Rarity took a hit at 52 despite the help from Sugar.
