    HoF inductees

    These four sound about right. Good to see Halladay in on the first try. Crime Dog is off the ballot now. But he's still got all those Tom Emanski commercials to fall back on. :D Full vote totals: https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/hof_2019.shtml#all_hof_BBWAA

    Diamondbacks Sign Wilmer Flores

    In that interview, Mike Hazen also said the DBs are pretty much done with signing new players. This could get really ugly.

    ASU Hockey 2018-19

    Well, the boys are back on the old iron road after an idle week, headed to Boston for a weekend series with Boston U.. Hopefully they will do better than their last trip east, losing both to #12 Cornell. But ASU still ranks #17 in the country, sandwiched between Union College and Lake Superior...

    Senior Bowl 2019

    I thought the Senior Bowl was called "Fox NFL Sunday." :D

    If the Cards Stay Put

    No. The NFL requires you be hree years removed from high school before becoming draft eligible. Anyway, he signed with an agent, which is pretty much the Rubicon Line as far as the NCAA is concerned. Ditto with any other NCAA-sanctioned sport. As a top draft pick, he has many financial...

    OT: Math Quiz For Stat Geeks

    Yeah, you know who you are. You think you're better at analytics than Billy Bean-o. So answer this one: Here is the "official" dimensions of home plate, in inches: Notice there are three right angles in this irregular polygon. Pay attention to the right angle at the bottom of the image...

    Looks like Manny Machado landed at Midway Airport. Best of luck taking that cab ride down past the putrid old Sotckyards and that sulfur plant. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25755553/manny-machado-8-year-offer-via-chicago-white-sox

    Arizona Coyotes 2018-19 Season thread.

    Mike Smith...another ex-Yote, eh?. It's odd to believe they are 4 point oot of a playoff spot right now. Time for a little old time hockey, eh? Dit Clapper? Toe Blake? Eddie Shore? :D

    You're fine, brah. Keep on keeping on. The world could be worse. We could still have Hacksaw Butterknife Hamilton on the 620 Sports Line every night! "REACTION!" :D

    Hatchet Job on the front page of Yahoo

    It's not ideological reporting. It's just bad, fallacious reporting. It's the old "If A = B and B = C, then A = C" fallacy A. The Cardinals are a franchise in the NFL. B. NFL franchises have exhibited latent racism. C. Therefore the Cardinals practice racism. Yahoo has been in the...

    Hatchet Job on the front page of Yahoo

    Dale Hansen is more full of shite than Bickley and Gambodoro put together. He lives in the 1970s. Maybe he can tell me which black owner, coach or GM has ever worked in Dallas? None. The fact that Jerrih relies too much on The Ginger only shows his incompetence as an owner. Heck, there are...

    OT: Jerry Jones new boat

    It was more a pun than any sort of political statement. See, Jerry's getting up there in years...peeing on a yacht...yachts sometimes travel on "streams"...old people are prone to BPH and stuff. Any of this ringing a bell? I just want to know if he remembered to zip up! :D

    Draft Kyler Murray #1, trade Josh Rosen?

    What's the deal with Gila River Arena?

    In looking to see if I could get the Yotes/Oilers game from Hockey Night In Canada this Saturday, I came across a quick mention of one attempt to buy the team long ago. This one was by Jim Balsille, the CEO of RIM/Blackberry. He was prepared to buy the team for cash, build an arena in...

    I don't either. MLBTR erports the deal is closer to $5MM with lots of incentives for days on the active roster and innings pitched. But ya gotta admit that trade belongs in the Dave Stewart Hall of Shame. Brewers are on a tear with Grandal. Rumors going around that they're talking to the...

    Draft Kyler Murray #1, trade Josh Rosen?

    If you jettison your "QBOTF" every year just because the "next big thing" comes out of college, you'll be spinning your wheels forever. Sincerely, Josh Freeman Jamarcus Russell Matt Leinart David Carr Tom Couch Akili Smith Ryan Leaf Heath Shuler

    LOL...no one can find Jeff Giloolly...he changed his name. :D May as well shut down Raanta for the year. Get everyone back at 100% for next season. Rotate some guys in from Tucson to at least get a cup of coffee in the NHL...

    Jonny Gomes promoted to be Dbacks outfield and base running coordinator

    Promoted? From what? I didn't even know he was on the staff. Anyway, coaching baserunning assumes there are baserunners. So he'll be able to pack up early and go home after the 1st inning. :D
