Kevin McGonigle should bat first or second the rest of the year.

So many things in sports come off set pieces, but the greatness that comes through the flow of the game is the most satisfying. Still buzzing from that UConn comeback.

Cassidy out. Torts in. The shelf life on pro hockey coaches, even good ones, is crazy short.

No idea why Michigan hasn't benched everybody yet.

Every Kevin McGonigle at-bat is a poem.

Kevin McGonigle continues to rip the ball. He just hit what looked like a home run, Jackson Merrill made a great catch to take it back.

You get the idea, as the saying goes, this Giants team could take batting practice in the ballroom and not harm a chandelier.

And DeLauter goes deep again. We'll write about it in the morning. The rookies took over the day.

Jamal Mashburn and Jalen Rose are doing a much better job on their set than the TBS guys.

And Murakami, and DeLauter. It's been some kind of day for the kids.

Benge, McGonigle, Wetherholt, Crawford. Good day to be a rookie.

Here comes the sun.

Yeah, finding the ballgame is complicated. Jack Baer is here to help. sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

Unfortunately, you can't draft everybody. Here's my All-FOMO team for 2026. sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/arti...

Highest recommendation. Perfect for anyone who loves baseball.

Still trying to unpack why Florida pressed Iowa at the end of the game yesterday. I thought the Florida half court defense was excellent late, although Iowa occasionally got a back door layup. The press allowed Iowa to get the cleanest look it had in a long time.

Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa.

I've never seen a team have a disparity between threes (great) and free throws (awful) like this Iowa State team. The Cyclones rank 6th in threes, and 332nd at the line.

That's a perfect way to put it.

Best NCAA bracket team name I've seen: Zuby Zuby Zoo.

Was a blast of a tournament. F yeah, baseball.

Your yearly reminder to fade Rick Barnes in the NCAA Tournament. Best investment in America.

St. John's only getting a 5 is just silly.

Charge the mound.

My friend @sheehannewsletter.bsky.social said it perfectly. "Give me a crowded leaderboard and a course where guys can go backward." Bingo. Bing-F-O.

What Top 50 MLB players are you fading in roto this year?

You can call him Alexander Nikishin; I call him Knish.

Blues before and after (after).

Geno Smith to the Jets, *chef's kiss.*

Closing on Tour: hard.

I'm riding on empty and Black Gold by Soul Asylum comes on. The algos know too much.

Canada might get away with Jordan Binnington and win a gold medal. Obviously the other talent is ridiculous, best in the world, but geesh, their goalie has an .864 save percentage in the NHL.

Everybody knows Cale Makar is a god, but it's ridiculous he's never been Top 5 in the Hart voting for MVP. No way he's not one of the five best players in the world, and his output speaks for itself, too. The biases in the voting are frustrating.

Survive and advance Wednesday.

Very sad to hear about Doug Moe's passing. His basketball teams always played an entertaining style; we need to celebrate that stuff more. I coincidentally played in a fantasy football league with him for several seasons; a good player and just cool to be around. RIP, Coach.

Life in a Northern Town.

This Michigan basketball team is a gift. Basketball as it oughta be. Cohesive, imaginative, smart, fun.

Let's collect some final Super Bowl thoughts before we put a period on the season. Thread to follow. First off, the right team won. Seattle's defense was the dominant unit of the season. Seattle wasn't that far from being undefeated. A very true champion. (thread)

Seven current MLB Hall of Famers had 2000s time with the Dodgers. Name em.

When you're down 22 and the game is just about over, maybe you don't spin the football.

Derick Hall probably should be MVP. Kenneth Walker might win MVP. Jason Myers is the Nickelodeon MVP.

My pain was temporarily relieved by Nearly Lost You by the Screaming Trees.

It probably won't matter but it's a mistake by New England, not going for two.

Run the Seattle flag play again.

Grossly underrated: The J. Geils Band.

Josh McDaniels, you're up.

Double Live Gonzo.
