Great series. I like both teams. Nice response by the Tigers today to score 9 unanswered!

I always use a dash. Especially with Resign and Re-Sign. 🤣

It's hard to tell how effective the scouting has been when player development is so poor.

Me too! He didn't record very much but definitely had an influence on several blues artists that followed.

This features the only known photo of Robert Petway from ~1941. Little is known about him. This article might be of interest to those who enjoy #Blues history. Thanks to @theblueslist.bsky.social for sharing Rockin' Chair Blues.

Davey is great with the players, but his in-game decisions were often head scratchers. He also could not get his players to run bases properly, throw to the right base, work counts, advance runners, etc. He had too long of a tenure in DC, with a record of 500-622 (44.5% win rate).

I think the Bears will have a chip on their shoulder. They will likely have to see that hail mary 100 times prior to MNF.

Happy 😁

It's actually a brutal schedule given they have to play a lot of primetime games and go to Spain.

The announcers just said that the New Orleans Saints just ran their first play with a lead this season. That's 4.5 games! #NFL

For me, it's definitely No Time.

We saw Iggy the other night in Boston. He's 5'6", but looked shorter. 🤣 Fun show. The Sex Pistols were originally on the ticket but recently canceled their tour because Steve Jones broke his wrist.

This looks amazing! My friend Margaret and her collaborator wrote this book. It's a great historical look at Latinos in béisbol.
