This would have been much better.

Owners/trainers are more squeamish now. That's it. The horses are just fine running. Two weeks is plenty. Sovereignty's connections bitched out. Period.

Maybe the Lightning weren't that bad?

I really do dislike the divisional playoff format.

First a prayer, then a signing of god bless America before the Indy 500. Is this a church thing? Are auto racing fans supposed to be 100% christian? I must have missed the memo, but I'll go ahead and watch something else if they want.

There really are some incredibly ignorant people in this world who are still able to rise to reasonably successful positions. You have to have an overwhelming and incurable case of brain worms for exit velocity to be some sort of voodoo science to you.

There's nothing like a (kind of sort of maybe by late 2nd qtr) night game in Tiger Stadium

It's normal to react emotionally as a fan, and it's okay to disagree with moves the team makes too. But if you think the Rays aren't serious about winning or are motivated by anything besides what is best for the ballclub, then you don't know very much about the team you follow.

Cool stat from Bucs sub on Reddit, Inc. -- Tampa Bay actually returns 100.03 percent of its rushing and receiving yards from last year. Everyone is back -- 10 players with rushing yards, 14 with receiving yards in 2024 -- except Tavierre Thomas, who lost 2 yards on a fake punt.

Nice base running. If my daughter did this after scoring a run the other team wouldn't even have to drill her because I would probably put a fastball in her ribs myself.

The main thing to remember about this Musk-Trump fight is that the Republican bill will bounce 16 million people off of Medicaid and collapse rural hospitals in order to give the biggest tax cut in history to people making more than four million bucks.

On the morning of May 20th, the Rays had lost at home to Houston the night before and fallen to their lowest point of the season, 21-26. They were 6.5 games out of first. Since then, they have gone 12-3 in their last 15 games.... ...and they're 5.5 games out of first

Awesome moment, but looking back, no horse had it easier in their bid for a triple crown. They laid it all out for him. AP was impressive, but not as impressive as some others who came up just short, imo.

The Belmont not being at Belmont Park and not at 1.5 miles makes it feel like not really the Belmont, then on top of that being on Fox instead of NBC makes it feel even less like a Triple Crown race at all. I prefer all three TC races be held in their normal places and on NBC.

Jazz Chisholm just made an error that may have been a direct result of doing an interview during live play. He was literally answering a question as the ball was hit.

Even though it helped the Rays there a little bit, this is a good time to point out that the infield fly rule is one of the dumbest rules in all of sports. There is no reason for it to exist.

Man that's a great job by Walls. Credit where it's due

"The Honduran teen was removed from his Pensacola foster home Monday morning — in handcuffs and shackles ... The boy, whose first name is Henry, also may have been a victim of labor trafficking."

Your homicide rate is literally DOUBLE California’s.

2025 sounds 100% off the table now, and honestly I wouldn't even look ahead much beyond that. Would just consider it a bonus if he's ever back at any point.
