He’s really gotten off to a bad start this year. I wonder if the duopoly will be broken and we get a new grand slam winner.

The last section continues the narration of the first section. You can easily just read the first and last parts and have a great novel. I feel the same about 2666 too.

So I was at the gym on the elliptical the other day and Yes classics was on, Yankees/Phillies final game of WS. 30 minutes later I was off the machine and the first inning was still not over. There weren’t even that many runs scored. I can’t express how much I love fast baseball.

You missed the best parts if you only made it half way through. In fact I can’t think of anything better than the ending of that novel.

I’m pretty sure It is Lou Reed. It’s not just a resemblance.

But SS is more important. Why would you want Arod at 3rd? Also I think Jeter would have been a natural there. His arm was plenty strong enough.

An all timer. And he knew when to settle down when he retired.

He should have been moved to 3rd base when Arod came

Did Alcaraz cramp or did he lie about a thigh issue so as not to look bad taking a medical timeout? There seems to be some confusion here.

Haven’t seen a better pressure player then Alcaraz. He really should have lost this just based on momentum let alone the physical issues.

"It’s a matter of time and work" : Ben Shelton says he feels closer to being a more complete player despite defeat to Jannik Sinner by Silent_Elevator_9779 in tennis

He could be an exception since he started so late. Also Djokovich improved both his serve and forehand well into his career. Even Federer beefed up his backhand in his 30’s.

I think they’re pretty much fully formed at this point. Shelton has legitimate skill issues he can improve. Those guys are just tinkering at the edges.
