What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Can the stuff I don’t care about stop reaching out to ruin the stuff that I like?

College athletes may be allowed to bet on pro sports soon 👀

The NCAA Division I Administrative Committee approved the recommendation Wednesday, but the new rules will only go into effect if Division II and Division III also approve.

It is different to put in 2 minutes on the microwave from putting it to 1 and immediately pressing add 30 seconds twice.

Not just that, but they drafted him and Madrigal both because they thought they could just plug those guys in without much development in the system. One of the many shortcuts they were taking.

He got screwed by COVID eating his AA/AAA season and then they jumped him to A+ to corner outfield lol

Totally and that totally sucked but that team was on the way down already because they still couldn’t draft or develop to save their lives and had to trade for everything instead of just signing free agents.

I am really sick of people acting like the Rick Hahn Era failing was because of a lack of effort or culture or personalities rather than not enough talent being given not enough information or being given actively harmful information.
