Interesting play by a restaurant who dropped service for a kiosk instead. Half of why that crowd eats out is to harass the staff.

Most everyone can hit a homer but you just need that direct threat to a pitcher that pits a lump in the other team's chest when he walks up. Suzuki reversed this game and the momentum already showing

Seiya getting hot into the playoffs has been big. Need that looming bat in the lineup that can change the game in a swing.

Five year goal is make the playoffs via the play-in. Get that under their belt and then they can plan how the 2032 draft class can get them a guaranteed top-6 seed.

Sounds to me that the 92 referendum was meant to allow off-track betting on current races. The "randomized historic race outcomes" loophole to claim slot machines aren't really slot machines is bogus to begin with but they're really just gonna run with that as far as they can.

Just hit me that the bass soundbite that UGA was playing on every defensive stand was definitely from the film 1917

You know how when a basketball broadcast switches to a weird angle on important free throws it almost always guarantees a miss? Real fortunate it didn't apply here.

But now they get to try and score a touchdown and go for the 2point... all to get themselves then into a conversion showdown

6/16 with 4 INT in a 23-6 victory is a perfect Bears QB statline

Newspaper advertisement offering a hundred dollar reward for a runaway slave named John. The key details is that a previous owner tried to sell him but couldn't, it is claimed, due to his very light complexion.

The February 15, 1856 Charleston Mercury gives some more backstory (I'm assuming this has to be the same person, given some details)

Portion of the box score from the 2011 Illinois-Ohio State football game, in which Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller only completed one stinking pass, but for a touchdown, at that

What's the baseball equivalent to Ohio State not even bothering to pass?
