If you had told me in 1997, when I was listening to Semi-Charmed Life on the radio on the boom box in my college dorm room, that it would be performed live during of a college football playoff game in 2026, I would’ve had all sorts of questions.

Missed free throws the big story, of course. But if you told me Syracuse would have a chance to beat Houston without their leading scorer, I would take that every time. If the Orange keep guarding like they did today, they’ll be fine.

Walter Alston got hired in part because previous Dodgers manager Charlie Dressen asked for a multi-year deal.Tommy Lasorda’s 3-year contract in 1984 was the first ever multi-year contract for a Dodgers manager.

I always like it when PBS says that viewers like me.

Ace Frehley’s version of New York Groove is the best version. RIP.

The season ended sooner than we would’ve liked, but I still feel privileged to call Houston Astros baseball. Appreciate everyone tuning in all season long. Looking forward to 2026!

Here's what it sounded like on SportsTalk790 as Jeremy Peña flashed the leather to secure the #Astros sweep over the Mall Cops. Cheers @raford3.bsky.social! “How about that?”

46 years ago this week, The Sugarhill Gang released “Rapper’s Delight”—the first rap single to crack the Billboard Hot 100 and a game-changer for hip-hop. 14 minutes that started a movement.

We are going to win tonight. Traveling back from Rome. When I work travel and stream MLB audio —we win. 🤷‍♀️. #astros @raford3.bsky.social

Future Hall of Famer Dusty Baker to manage Nicaragua in World Baseball Classic 2026

Rich Hill Facts will never stop being entertaining. In his Major League debut, he was one of the pitchers who relieved Greg Maddux. In Maddux's Major League debut, the starting CF for the opposing Astros was 41-year-old Davey Lopes, who was born in 1945.

Turns out the bombs bursting in air tonight in LA on the 4th of July were the Astros’ bats. 18 runs, 11 extra-base hits, including 5 home runs - 2 by Dodgers fan favorite Jose Altuve. Largest Dodgers loss ever at Dodger Stadium.
