Cubs just signed Bellinger. I think they’re gonna be a problem again
Pumped. Live auction draft with the lads on Saturday (25th annual). Pitching seems a bit fucked this year, looks like Gerrit Cole is in trouble with arm issues, being shut down. Yankees need to go after Snell or Montgomery.
For anyone in or near north London: a couple of friends and I went here yesterday
We hired out a batting cage for an hour, but there’s also a few bullpens and a whole infield that you can hire as well.
Good fun, well run, and with all the kit you’d need if you don’t have your own.
It’s about 2 minutes walk from the new Brent Cross West Thameslink station.
this Ohtani thing is very fishy.
expecting him to mysteriously retire and announce he’s going to the NBA G league any day now
Yeah… I’m not buying it
Off to the London game today
Absolute banger. Shambles but a great game
Wow. This is powerful.

Mad that it’s all so recent isn’t it. I’ve watched that a couple of times and had a lump in my throat each time.
My word
RIP Billy Beane
Hmmm
MLB announced Friday morning that the Braves and Reds will play a regular-season game in 2025 at the historic Bristol Motor Speedway in northeastern Tennessee on Saturday, Aug. 2, in the MLB Speedway Classic.

I like the fact that MLB is trying to take the game to different places but I fear they.might have fallen for their own hype with this one. That is an awful lot of seats to fill, most of which will be miles from the action.
Americans mostly go to sports to get smashed and eat so it may work. As you say, lotta seats to fill though.
Poor man’s space needle tbqh! Awesome view
