I just finished reading "American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road" about Ross Ulbricht, who created a site where people could buy illegal drugs and firearms. Trump pardoned this guy but is waging a war on Venezuela because of ... illegal drugs. Got it.

Ovi should roam the concourse like when @camarowrx.bsky.social and I saw Dylan Strome at a Bears playoff game.
No surprise because he hasn't been practicing with team, but Alex Ovechkin (lower body) won't be go to Hershey for preseason game vs. the Flyers tomorrow, coach Spencer Carbery confirmed.
Carbery said it's a good sign that Ovechkin skated again and did more today than yesterday.

I don't remember what I had for dinner on Monday, but I remember watching a game where Fernando played outfield against the Cubs. Always my go-to for this (and Murphy any chance I can get). @immaculategrid.com

Hmm, read this morning that former major league pitcher Octavio Dotel died Tuesday in a freak accident, and in today's @immaculategrid.com for @baseball-reference.com, he just happens to be an option for every square.

Most Capitals fans don't remember Nick Backstrom started his career with the Wild as a goalie.
Filip Gustavsson is the 4th goalie in Wild franchise history to record 5+ shutouts in a season—at 26, he's also the youngest to do it for Minnesota.

@immaculategrid.com Surprised Ohtani was only 4%. Don Mattingly is my go-to for "obscure" thirdbasemen.
And my favorite trivia question about Tom Glavine, he was drafted before Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille.
