I do like day baseball with lots of red in the stands at Rogers.

Rain. Lots of it for many days in a row. Not our usual set your clocks to it, 4 p.m. thundershower.

Bravo, Kranepool!

I played bridge for the first time tonight. It's easier than figuring this out.

About 5k out from the end, a little terrier came about 5 feet away from getting smoked by the peloton. The breakaway group near the end lost all of its form just before the finish, and the one man left held off the peloton by a second or so. Jan Bakelants from Radio Shack is your new leader, by one ...

Van Garderen is American, and he's got an American teammate. Sagan's team has an American. Garmin Sharp has three.

Marcel Kittel, today's winner holds the Yellow, White and Green jerseys after Stage One.

What a first stage! A team bus was stuck under the finish banner with about 15 minutes left, then a massive crash took out about 20 riders, including many of the favorites for the day. It's a glorious mess of a beginning to the TdF.

Starts in a few. Who do ya got? It's hard to go against Froome, in my opinion. He looked like he could have beaten Wiggo last year on more than one occasion. I like Van Garderen as well, but it is tough to win when you're not team leader (see Froome).

Confusing, but I'm in.

The other day, I saw Roubini predicted it to go below $1000 by 2015.

Only two. Its been tough. 1995 Braves -- An often posed question in Atlanta Sports Bars/Sports Talk Radio-- Would you have preferred being the Florida Marlins in the 90s/00s with two world series titles, but mostly craptastic in other years; or the Braves, with essentially 20 straight years in the ...

I want to go to there.

High school classmate of mine just posted a picture of his kid on Facebook. They're having dinner at Guy Fieri's American Grill in NYC.

If we're counting teams we were on, I won an adult soccer league a few years back, and in football when I was 12, we had a year where our team didn't get scored on until the super bowl, and won that game 21-7.

Thanks for organizing this, travzilla!

Surprised by the number of red sweaters in the crowd there.

Couldn't happen to a better fan base.

I've supported ManU since 1999, but I don't count those.
The Rowdies won the NASL last year, but I'd given up my tickets, and I'd feel guilty counting that one too.

Everyone [rightly] is all about "Get Lucky" on the new Daft Punk album. Give this one a listen too. It's great, and features Bapo fave, Panda Bear.

In two separate trades yesterday, I sent out Cabrera, Segura, Votto, and AJ Burnett. The return was Price, Gio Gonzalez, Longoria, Altuve, Everth Cabrera, and Kershaw. We count the five main hitting categories plus Obp, and the five main pitching categories (subbing QS for wins), plus holds. 10 team...

It's not Russian River.

The Pipeline Porter is a very good beer.

So is Longboard Lager. I'll second the meh for Russian River. Had it at the source, not earth shattering.

Mario Chalmers seems like a guy whose teammates hate him roughly 99.74% of the time. they hate him more now Before that first free throw, his smug facial expression seemed to be saying, "I'm gonna make these and get laaaaaaaaaaaaid tonight." "I'm gonna make these and get laaaaaaaaaaa...

As the NBA season comes to an end, I just wanted to say how fantastic the work of Zach Lowe is. I hardly follow the league any more, but reading Zach Lowe's work is an absolute pleasure. I like Lowe a lot, but he always loses me. Reading him is kind of like high school science classes for me. I'm i...

Does the choppy "documentary style" camera work of the FNL pilot get better/clearer as the episodes go on? I've got to think it does, or else there wouldn't be as many fans. I nearly puked watching the pilot, and don't plan on making myself nauseous watching a show, no matter how good it is.

Aw, what a bummer. At least he gave us an incredible performance in one of the greatest shows of all-time. First thing I remember him in is that epic (and over the top, I suppose) fight scene in True Romance He did survive getting a corkscrew in the foot and several whacks on the head with a toilet...

Interesting. I have a couple of Men's Wearhouse suits in the closet. And I can't think of a thing bad to say about them. Y'know, I've had service every bit as good at those Men's Warehouse joints as I've had at pro tailor shops. Maybe I just got lucky but, really, solid salesmen. Let me go on at le...

Why not kill that bear? The guy is clearly a hunter. Was it too small to kill? At that point, it's basically self-defense. I nearly soiled myself just watching that.

No, and no.

Winner!

They all have something else in common, as well.

What do the Dbacks, Cubs, White Sox, Indians, Tigers, Angels, Dodgers, Twins, A's, Pirates, Giants and Blue Jays have in common?

The lady and I saw Now You See Me last night. It was entertaining. Feels a little like Oceans Eleven, a tiny bit like a superhero movie, and there's a stellar cast. It's not great, but its a good summer movie.

Did you go? I watched a bit of the match through the Timbers feed. I guess the Rowdies aren't much of a draw in Portland? I did go. The crowd was weak-sauce because: - the tickets were rather expensive ($25+) and not included in season ticket packages (the previous round USOC match was) - many peop...

I'd get Fabregas in a heartbeat. My all time favorite non-ManU player.

Cheddah, I tried getting into the National, but all of their songs sound the same to me. I like their song, but it all jut bleeds together for me. I think it would take a bunch of times through a couple albums to learn to differentiate, but it hasn't grabbed me enough yet. It still remains on the i...

I noticed it last week too.
