    Paul Goldschmidt is straight up not having a good time this season, and especially so in the month of May: 0-34, 3 BB, 14 K

    Plummeting Ticket Prices

    It makes sense if it's in an area where season ticket holders have some kind of price protection. The Sox can't undercut the STH on their own site, but they can get 60¢ on the dollar via secondary. There are some other explanations, but that's the most plausible IMO.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    That was entirely too close to flag and blow the whistle there before the play was completed.

    This is going to be a goal. First pass was onside, second was behind the ball.

    Bayern going to re-live all of those chances they couldn't convert, and now with a less than ideal lineup out there.

    Two hands to the neck and face. VAR has to overturn that.

    That's a dream strike on his "weaker" foot. One drop of the shoulder and it was in the back of the net.

    CWS @ STL. CB Bucknor just rang up Nicky Lopez on strike three, except he never signaled that it was a strike. Pitch was close on the outside edge. Lopez even took a step towards the dugout, assuming it was strike three, but Bucknor never flinched. Contreras eventually asked him if it was...

    Both teams have missed golden opportunities. Uncontested shots inside 10 yards. Both over the bar.

    U11 Soccer - Coach's Kid Being Prioritized

    The experiment with the goalie taking the PKs has come to an end. I'll give our goalie a lot of credit, her goal kicks and defensive-half free kicks have really improved. It's rare we play a team who has a keeper with the leg to drive the ball into the air like ours. My kid is taking the...
