Jimmy came made his Major League debut in the 8th with 1 out and a man on 2nd, yesterday, against Cleveland. He promptly gave up a 2 run homer to Greg Allen. Carlos Santana grounded out, then Jason Kipnis hit another one out of the park. Jose Ramirez, Jake Bauers , and Kevin Plawecki singled, Plawecki driving in Ramirez.

He got roughed up pretty good,  3 earned runs on 5 hits. He did throw more strikes than balls, though. 

He battled his weight all of his life. ESPN did a 30 for 30 piece about him a couple of years ago and he had taken steps to help himself. Guess it did not work out. I met him at a Highlands high school football game about 10 or 12 years ago.

@mutt and @swamprat ??

I'm technical support. Mutt will contact me when he has something scheduled. However, I should have the highlight video done sometime next week.  

The Brewers visit Cincinnati for a 4 game series, starting tonight.

I don't care if all P5 games are on the road. I like the old @Bull-by-Marriage mantra. "Any time. Any place." Just make the buyout $2 million +. Better to beat them on their turf than ours anyway. 

Anymore you have to have internet access to your home with or without TV, so that is a wash. 

Even if I end up paying as much in the long run, I still prefer a la carte streaming over 500 + channels I don't want or need and not getting what I want.

As with everything else, the fragmentation will iron itself out as the consumers show the streaming providers what they want and will pay for.

Baseball is one of those sports where if we could get hot at the right time, we could make a run in the tournament. Unfortunately, our road would include having to go through a Top 8 team in ECU, so that doesn't look very likely at this point. 

They dropped the second game 9-3.

The Shockers host ECU next weekend. We are at UConn. 

I have to root for ECU. 

Explained here....

Linsey Devitt with a 2 out homer in the 1st is all the scoring needed. Georgina Corrick with a 2 hit shutout. 

1-0 USF Final.

Conference Champions!!!!

Top of the 4th, 1-0 USF.

Tulsa took 2 from UConn in a double-header, yesterday. Meanwhile, USF got took to the wood shed and run ruled in a 10-0 loss. 

While the a co-championship is in the bag, we have to win today, to clinch the conference outright.

Nice letter from Vinik.....top notch organization as long as he remains owner.....i believe this team will win a stanley within the next 2 or 3 years.

Meanwhile the only team im really rooting against thats left is Boston. Cant stand their players or their fans..Go Blue Jackets - at least this series.

I could like Boston, if not for Brad "Lick Boy" Marchand, The Jackets power play failed them last night. When that happens, Marchand can play as dirty as he likes. 

USF is currently one game behind Witchita State for the last spot in the AAC Tournament. The Shockers have UConn on the road, this weekend, and ECU at home the week before coming here for the season finally.

It really was a perfect storm (to steal Triple B's comment) that went against the Lightning, and the #1 seed doesn't usually have to play a #8 seed team the caliber and a team that was peaking at the right time like Columbus was.

2005/06. The Red Wings won the President's Trophy (58 wins 124 points) and dominated the Edmonton Oilers in game 1 of the playoffs, but lost the next 4 games. Detroit won the cup 2 years later. FWIW, that was Steve Yzerman's last season as a player.

Martin pulled himself out of the running. Craig Smith, Utah State, did too. 

I never have purchase tickets from UCF.  For anything. I go to a lot of road games and I always get my tickets through USF.  

The number is Courtney Troyer's extension. Ms. Troyer is the Senior Account Executive with UCF Sales and Service, as listed on their web site.

However, you are probably right and it is somebody messing with me. Just not the way you think. Over the years, I've had t-shirts come from Louisville and West Virginia, phone calls from Tulane and East Carolina, and I've been getting the University of Cincinnati Magazine for almost a decade, now.

Really sucks that our good conference coaches continue to get poached by the P5......i get it but still blows.

I don't know. It is being reported that Frank Martin is a leading contender to replace Mick. They say he's unhappy at South Carolina and he makes less than Cronin was getting paid.

I got this voicemail the other day ...

"Hey (my legal name), this is Courtney over at UCF Athletics. Wanted to reach out to you quick about the 2019 football season. My number is 407-XXX-XXXX. 407-XXX-XXXX. Thanks and Go Knights."

I called Courtney back and left her a voice mail politely asking her to remove my name from their call and mailing list. I then thanked her and said "Go Bulls!!!".

I want Kentucky

I don't think UK will replace Kansas with us. With Antigua gone, the only way we get the Cats is in tournament play. I really wanted to wear my split t-shirt in Rupp.

What's interesting is that Depaul doesn't as far as I can tell usually play their home games where we played them tonight. Which makes me wonder why this game was played where it was.

When you look up the venue for game 3 it shows the Wintrust Arena.  After googling that it appears to me the Wintrust Arena is the normal home game spot for Depaul basketball and the facilities look quite impressive.

There appears to be some kind of trade show or other private event at Wintrust that started yesterday and runs through noon Friday.

Threw in as well. Thanks for posting this.

Nice building design...I hope they stick with the athletic logo on the building & not the academic logo.  

They didn't. I went to the Lightning game last night and walked by it. The building is impressive, but the logo on it is the new academic one.
