It is, I fear, time for my 10 Favourite Songs of 2024, Except That It's 20 Songs, And Elon Doesn't Get This Most Valuable Content

Maybe it's time to let Doug hang out down left field

I thought last night's call was wrong but also not so annoyed because of the two hits of it all

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 19h

I get argument both ways. I was fine with pull but I know many others weren't.

Ultimately, relievers gotta hit spots

Sad

I'm not sure yesavage was tonight. But yes, in general

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 19h

Last night's call on Gausman was way worse than tonight's on Yesavage. At some point, though, it's hard to trust the pen is gonna execute

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 19h

Better hitting, better managing, better relief. Jays getting outclassed right now.

Those are the first two flies I remember Varsho ever misplaying

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 20h

K it's even. They can replace Doug Eddings now

Embarrassing stuff

After sitting on it for a few minutes, I have a quarrel with the home plate umpire

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 21h

Sure, NBA!

The Wizards played their first preseason game yesterday. The Cavs, Bucks & Suns play their final preseason games tomorrow.

Poeltl (back/illness) and Murray-Boyles (elbow) remain out for the Raptors. Ingram is also inactive vs Washington today.

Walter and Mamu will start with Barnes, Quickley and Barrett.

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 2d

I think they could run read-option every play and have more yards than this.

Eric Koreen @ekoreen.bsky.social · 2d

I don't think they're looking to get off Mogbo or anything. Sure, Mogbo can show he has really improved (he looked good at summer league), but it's a low-stakes thing compared to CMB being healthy.

The Jets are impossible.

Can just get rid of the first part of the headline

Collin Murray-Boyles did not practice today as he undergoes testing for his elbow.

Happy for Mariners fans. They deserve it. ALCS will be fun.

I would have died four innings ago if the Jays were playing in this game.

He seemed to be pretty uncomfortable after the game, so we'll see if he's available Sunday/beyond.
