Nice moment and all but the best part of that clip is the slick bit of skill shown by what I assume is a coach — in what I also assume is a fine Italian suit — along the sideline at around the 3:11 mark.

Roland Garros men’s singles draw gods: Please make sure these dudes are in opposite halves.

—don’t you hate the term “must-win” in non-elimination games?—

Looks like he was just gonna slide and grab the ball with his arms/hands... but realized too late that he couldn’t do that (since the ball was kicked to him by a teammate).

I like the linescore abbreviations: “N. YORK” and “PITTS.” Awkward yet effective.

In high school, a friend figured he could save gas money (over time) by always driving on a near-empty tank, because that would keep the car lighter and thus require less gas to move it around. Risky, of course, to keeping flirting with E... and I’m sure there are other flaws in the approach. But back then, I thought…

Wait... “has treated my friends and I...”? Seems those schools were right to reject he.

Ten times is absurd, yes... but McEnroe’s resume as a commentator (and that’s all that should matter here... as players, they’re both huge figures in Wimbledon history) is significantly better than Navratilova’s. I’m not a big McEnroe fan... but in this context, he’s got more experience, acclaim, audience appeal (if…

Is the Jokic foot-shuffling OK because the in-bounds play came after an OKC made basket (and a timeout that allowed Denver to advance the ball to mid-court)? Or something like that? Definitely seems like a 5-second violation... but anybody know if Jokic definitely travelled?

Not the best time to run a post route.

Close the roof on courts with a roof. Stop play on all other courts. Treat it like a rain delay. TV can maintain live coverage. Fans (for whom the heat is also a pain) who bought tickets to show courts can get their money’s worth. The draws can progress at least a bit. Not complicated.

Sis-boom-bah. (What’s the sound of a sheep exploding?)

This exactly. I only wish Staley had included the ever-popular “can I get a raincheck (that I’ll never actually use)...” reply.

Anybody know what China would do, in a situation like this, to three of its own sticky-fingered citizens?

Also, why is he fully owning, and so profusely apologizing for, his actual actions? He really only needed to say, “I’m sorry if you were offended by me punching a horse,” right?

How many home runs last night wouldn’t have been home runs elsewhere? Correa’s (except maybe Fenway). Probably Puig’s. But Yuli’s double in the 9th gets out of plenty of other parks. Springer’s and Yuli’s HRs were last seen orbiting Saturn. Altuve’s was crushed. Bellinger’s and McCann’s were legit.

Big Astros fan here... and as much as I want to believe that it’s not what it appears to be... or that it’s somehow forgivable... having a hard time. Suspend him for Game 4. I can forgive him (if he proves contrite) and cheer for him in G5 but it’s punishment worthy for sure (again, if it’s what it appears to be).
