BU sports are not at the level to have that kind of history. Do they even have a baseball team? I dont think ive ever seen a sporting event at now Nickerson Field. Is that on BU grounds? As you probably know, that story refers to the old Boston Braves (who then became the Milwaukee Braves, and then...

In a game against the Braves on this date in 1922, the Giants hit four inside the park home runs. How could this happen? Well, before renovations in the 1940s, the original dimensions at (Boston) Braves Field were 402 ft. (left), 550 ft. (center), and 402 ft. (right) leading to many inside the park ...

Y’all.
I had to google who that is.

Since last Thursday, he’s probably doubled the number of people who know who he is.

I agree. I think it’s going to happen. Prepare to hear many references to Kent State, and “four dead in O-hi-yo”.

We just finished Deadloch on Prime video. Australian comedic murder mystery series. Female showrunners and the main characters are a lesbian couple and an odd woman cop, so it’s fairly female-oriented. But even an old philistine such as myself enjoyed it. First couple episodes were a bit chaotic, wi...

That’s great, Dave. Glad it was a fun day!

That was interesting and helpful commentary, in that last post, bfj. Thanks.

Read an article by Yahoo (Frank Schwab, not Bronto) that opined that the attitude displayed in the documentary excerpted in this tweet may have sunk Spencer Rattler’s draft stock (he went on the 5th round - much lower than many expected). https://twitter.com/pff_college/status/1566857917629874176?s=...

Good stuff, bfj!

Normally, for liquor I’m partial to bourbon or rye. But, it’s a nice spring day here, and we’re drinking Negronis. Decent change of pace.

4 parts gin
2 parts Campari
1 part red vermouth

So, the wife had a frustrating hard day and wanted Chinese takeout for dinner. We order and I go pick it up (a big deal as I rarely drive, being blind in one eye and having a bum shoulder). After I return, she opens up the boxes of food. I start loading my plate but I see she is upset, saying “One o...

Fun factoid: The kid the Raiders picked, Brock Bowers, grew up and went to high school in Napa, which is where the Raiders held training camp each summer, when they were based in Oakland.

One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00. Sports in the US (and Canada) never actually start at the advertised time. I was again reminded of this watching the NFL draft. Advertised to start at 5:00 PDT, the first pick went do...

A good discussion would be how to up your condiment game. I''m going to be making a tomato jam this weekend, where I will be adding real maple syrup instead of sugar. It's almost always a winner—also makes an excellent variant to an old-fashioned. Been making Old Fashioneds and Sazaracs lately. Tha...

Sorry, man.

So, if I understand this correctly, the TikTok bill going through Congress right now is designed to force them to transfer ownership to an American entity. I understand that the Chinese say that is not going to happen. This issue scares the hell out of me, because if access to TikTok ends up getting...

I’d say this one gets added weight for being a devastating loss for their number one rival.

There seems to be some resentment of her among the old guard WNBA players, so it appears she’s really going to have to earn it.

I'm sad to see they changed the recipe. Here's a wrapper from the olden days that I found on the innerwebs, with peanut butter as a listed ingredient.

I don’t disagree that the Broncos are going to suck. But, a zero rating? Gonna be a long year.

Yeah the Reggie! I remember had peanut butter, not nougat.

I blame the Colorado GM for their loss. They’ve got as much high-end talent as any team, and they out-shot Winnipeg two to one. But they couldn’t overcome their lack of a goalie. Not a new problem - it’s been there for a couple seasons, now. Management should have found a decent replacement by now.

sancarlos

The white-out thing they do in Winnipeg looks pretty cool on camera.

I think Anaheim does that in the playoffs, too. But it’s been a minute since the Ducks made the playoffs.

You are very much the epitome of restraint.
