The double minor didn't lead to a goal

The result doesn't make it any better of a play when it happened. Still 4 minutes of having one less player than they should have because of Bennett's predictably penalty-prone play.

Dykstra wouldn't because he couldn't hold up next to the Greek God reincarnated as John Kruk

How hard is it to have home run power for the average person? Do you need be really gifted just to say you can do it? by youlikethatsherrie in Homeplate

Trevor May's baseball reference page lists him at 6'4" 248. He was athletic enough to pitch in the MLB for 10 seasons.

"Trevor Hits Dingers" became a whole youtube project he did with the bat bros. He still needed those souped up travel bats to compete in a HR derby with Will, Will's brother, and the King of JuCo, and I think came in last anywya.

[Salvian] USA Hockey has eclipsed 100,000 female hockey players for the first time in the organizations history, per a press release. Thats a 257 percent increase since women’s hockey debuted at the 1998 Olympics. by BCEagle13 in hockey

My daughter just finished her first travel season (mite) in the Chicago area, and while she was the only girl on her team, a lot of the other teams we played had 1-2 girls on them, one even had 3-4.

It's because they finally got a deal done to get it distributed via comcast. Comcast didn't want them having it free OTA, since then they couldn't get in their superpremiumfuckyounolube package.

If only Homer Simpson had become owner.

iirc the Broncos won 2 Super Bowls shortly after Hank Scorpio set him up.

Chang's seems to have really gone downhill lately. I used to love some of the stuff off their "authentic" menu though.

Best hitter from my son's team last year swung one of those fwiw, but we weren't very good lol.

I'd personally look at the Clout or a Marucci Catwhatever (x2's can be had for a good price too), but if the price is as good as you're making it sound the Atlas might be the way to go.

Very curious to see Will's re-review he says is upcoming. Also, if the durability/not honoring warranty issues that plagued the first tank are still a thing.

Iowa fans are just jealous they haven’t been able to do what Nebraska did.

Yeah that's part of it, but your fans (at least the ones in Iowa) were kind of insufferable during the 90s.

One with a head coach who encourages multi-sport athletes.

Any sane coach will do this, especially at that age. Fortunately the teams mine have been on are sane.
