I know the ref is the only one that counts but c’mon, 250 pairs of eyes all saw the same thing ...

Agree all around other than “race walking” being the dumbest of the dumb. Why not backwards walking, tip-toeing, or skipping.

B-R WAR is a farce this year:

Gerrit Cole (2.52 ERA, 316 Ks in 207 IP, 0.887 WHIP, 184 ERA+, 2.62 FIP): 6.7
Mike Minor (3.59 ERA, 200 Ks in 208 IP, 1.238 WHIP, 144 ERA+, 4.26 FIP): 7.8

I get ballpark adjustments and team defense but Minor?!?

After showing up at the Laver Cup in front of 17,000, Krygios lost his very next match in China in front of a couple hundred, to mid-30s journeyman Andreas Seppi. Kyrgios choked away a tight first set in a tiebreaker and went away 6-1 in the second set. Classic.

Pretty solid effort that the world team - guys ranked #19, #25, #27, #29, #34, #54, and #210 (Sock, jeez) - can go toe-to-toe against a loaded European side. Seems to bring out the best in Krygios - who’s made a career playing up and down to the level of his competition - and solidified Sock as the world’s best…

When I started following sports, the Braves were in the NL West, the Cardinals in the NL East, the Cowboys in the NFC East, and Bucs in the NFC Central, the Falcons in the NFC West, and I thought Jazz originated from Utah.

Silver lining, at least it wasn’t weaponized pee-in-a-bottle otherwise known as La Orina Especial.

CC should only get into a postseason game if the Yanks are down/up by 10. Limped to the end but a great pitcher in his prime and sure-shot HOFer. Goes to show how important it is to be be successful EARLY in your Yankees career (contribute to a title run and be beloved forever). Certainly a blueprint for poewr lefties…

The second photo is the face of a horse who’s vet is apparently Dr. Peter North.

The beauty of coaching is growing grooming the players from the ground up.

Serena’s serve was horrible. Broken 6 times in 11 service games and 44% first serve percentage - she even double-faulted THREE times on break points. For someone who has a strong case of being the greatest server in the game’s history, this was beyond piss-poor. Yes, she came back way down 6-3, 5-1 (match point) but…

Yep, Big Ben must be so peeved, he’s gonna stay home tonight and stew instead of going out there for a pregame rape.

CTE MeToo.

Why not both gif. She might have an Azarenka type trajectory, only with a slightly younger start. Similar type of style too - big-time hitter, short fuse, and just short of arrogant. The DGAF intensity is what will set Andreescu apart - she’s the type that hates losing more than loves winning. Totally different from a…

Well, this is an industry where a good amount of folks in the audience (including some BIG names) gave Roman Polanski a standing-O at the Oscars for “The Pianist” so not surprising at all.

Really? I think getting all the audio will only show how stupid, passive-aggressive, and petty most players, managers, and umpires are.

Very dramatic tennis. But equally bad. So dramatically bad. Not a surprise that Monfils was entertaining as always but choked away a winnable (potentially career-defining) match. Paves the way for Rafa to make a repeat of his ho-hum 2017 USO title run when the highest ranked guy he faced was #24. Rafa will absolutely…

Shame that Fed couldn’t capitalize on being up triple break point (and eventually five break points total) in the deciding game of the fourth set. At that time, he looked invigorated and if he had managed to break Grigor, suddenly it’s 5-5 with a big momentum shift and wuda-cuda-shuda. Also goes without saying how…

WTF is a 6-year old owner? Whoever takes care of this child is the owner.

Fun but a bit overdone. It’s not like everyone in the stands are booing the guy. Maybe 60/40. It’s pretty tame and not even close to a heated Davis Cup match. Of course in terms of volume, booooooooos from some people can overpower polite clapping from many people. Next match should be fun though - NYC is very much…
