Missed free throws the big story, of course. But if you told me Syracuse would have a chance to beat Houston without their leading scorer, I would take that every time. If the Orange keep guarding like they did today, they’ll be fine.

Walter Alston got hired in part because previous Dodgers manager Charlie Dressen asked for a multi-year deal.Tommy Lasorda’s 3-year contract in 1984 was the first ever multi-year contract for a Dodgers manager.
Today In 1953: Rare footage of Walter Alston being introduced as the new manager of the Brooklyn #Dodgers by Walter O'Malley. Fun Fact: Alston never had a multi-year deal with the club, he signed 23 one-year contracts! #MLB #Baseball #Legend #LetsGoDodgers #History

Just finished a 5-day bike trip through the New Zealand countryside. A fun &, at times, challenging way to travel!

Great story, by the way.

Fox using Grateful Dead’s Touch of Grey going to break after Max Scherzer completes 5 innings in a turn-back-the-clock performance is a stroke of brilliance.

The season ended sooner than we would’ve liked, but I still feel privileged to call Houston Astros baseball. Appreciate everyone tuning in all season long. Looking forward to 2026!

Here's what it sounded like on SportsTalk790 as Jeremy Peña flashed the leather to secure the #Astros sweep over the Mall Cops. Cheers @raford3.bsky.social!

‘Bout to listen to the rest of the game on an airplane. It means a 70% chance of a win based on past performance. 🤷‍♀️#Astros @raford3.bsky.social

Bobby Shantz started - & won - the first game in Colt .45s/Astros history. An entertaining read.

Former Astros pitcher Corbin Martin, now on the Orioles, is best friends with Colton Cowser’s older brother Ty. They all went to Cy Ranch HS, where Colton & Ty’s dad Dale was an assistant principal.
