“Was she really that late a bloomer at the top?”

Really interesting to see Federer just flush the 2nd set down the toilet and then recover and be in almost total control after that. It was weird because the first few games of the 2nd set were really compelling with Nadal staving off the double-break point in Game 3 before Fed took a nap and then took over. The final…

It’s really interesting to watch how Federer uses pace against Nadal. Often, it looks like he’s intentionally under-hitting some of his shots so Nadal has to use more of his own power to hit them back as hard as he wants. Part of that is undoubtedly because Federer makes everything look effortless, but it’s a fun cat-a…

Rafa won 10 straight points to save that break down 15-40, break  Federer at love and then go up 30-0.

Yes! I watched those reruns a lot growing up when ESPN ran them. I love how the home runs seem to end up in the yards of some suburban homes as well as the umpires voice as he called “two outs!”

I’d be very interested to see who can tell me what Jacoby Brissett received his college degree in? An admittedly cursory Google search yielded no information about his field(s) of study within the first several pages of results.

More Jacoby Thoughtlets: if the oven is on at 425 degrees downstairs, how come I can’t cook a batch of Totino’s Pizza Rolls in my bed?

Somehow I’d never seen that before now, so I salute your linkage.

Watched a whole lot of Orsulak on the O’s in the early 90s (Home Team Sports!)

The referees were not debating the foul call, merely deciding whether Mulder’s body should be buried inside or outside the Restricted Area.

I approve of this new Broad City reboot

Yeah the penalty was an anti-climax, though the right call for the defender getting her studs into Morgan’s arm (!?). And after they’d had so many good chances in the first half, Lavelle’s goal was the real emotional crest.

Agreed on Heath. Her lack of impact has been puzzling.

The center backs did not have a good day yesterday, so dropping Ertz back makes sense at the end of the game. But maybe she should be starting over one of them? If Lavelle can’t go in the Final, they may need another attacking weapon in the midfield and let Horan and Mewis help cover the back possibly. That could also…

Rick Pitino lasts longer than the flavor of a piece of Fruit Stripe gum

Would you settle for Fruit Stripe?

Well, it’s always in the last place you look.

Angels, 1997: Oh, Tawny!

Well, I know where I’m going for lunch tomorrow now. Oriole Burrito Bowl with chips on the side, please.
