"Jared Kelenic and the bottom part of the order..." Now that is an understatement. But the Braves are losing and I am happy.
I knew he was a bonus baby with lots of potential but I thought he had a giant contract. $2.3 million is about right for a .175-hitting corner outfielder. That's the going rate for a body these days.
Dusty May is a pig. Didn't want to put that in a title. Of course Harbaugh still reigns. During the tough times and particularly at turnover time you could see he wasn't all smiles. Now he knows he will probably have a good team so he is arrogant too. He spilled the beans on Tre Donaldson--new guy in, Tre out.
In law there's this really simple principle that he or she or they who caused is it liable. I have so little interest in the new team it isn't even funny.
North Carolina is a good school and top-5 in terms of being a blueblood basketball team. Duke notwithstanding there is only one school and team in my mind in college basketball that is more perfect. UCLA is a great university with even better surroundings and climate. They're simply rentals. They are also past discontents who are likely to revert. If they accomplish what they want on the court (e.g., in Danny Wolf's mind) it is one year only.
Funny how Michigan fans, students, alumni, and bankers never mention that Aday Mara fits the whole profile. Sure, they are only rumors.
Chris Sale is going to wind up in a full body cast one day. Gosh, 162 games you just cannot argue about it. They'll win enough games to support the rest of the enterprise. And most other franchises are worse. I'm no longer a fan, I'm just a troll. The news is usually about salaries or injuries and I don't need it.
In between May and Michigan hired Yaxel Lendeborg. Actually, I don't know how much they are paying him given the season is half a year away and he is "80%" going pro. Everyone deserves second (or more) chances but he missed half his high school career due to academics. He's another multi transfer/loser.
Dusty May learned from the best-then-gone. Make it about the NFL.
Now we all know what that means in college basketball--do it like Bruce Pearl and Kelvin Sampson, two of the four Final Four coaches.
I have already thought about and put it down on paper (a computer screen). I have no desire to follow Bryce Underwood or watch him. Ditto Mikey Keeene who isn't even playing. Sherrone Moore was lucky last year and it is going to be long, slow, and boring manball against a weak schedule.
I was reading, 'Will your interest wane with the new landscape?' You bet it will.
Checks boxscore because the game is too boring to pay attention to. Sean Murphy 2/2 strikeouts. The other day I looked it up; he had 11 at bats and 5 strikeouts. He makes $15 million.
Everyone's doing it is never an excuse, Dusty May.
My God, the Atlanta Braves Tampa Rays game was a no hitter through five and I didn't even know. That is how dull is that. Brandon Gaudin is the absolute worst big-company homer announcer ever. Sometimes there is a bit of a travelogue when they're on the road. At least they lost and Murphy 0/4 with two strikeouts. Thankfully I know what I want.
They're all just journeymen with a few ridiculously-priced human beings in between. There is no way anyone can predict baseball skill and performance that far into the future or even in a few years. For college athletes it is just one year. The games themselves can be great or even worthwhile if there is a commercial-free video available the next day; they are more or less void of the prima donnas and backstories that recirculate. At some point there will be a fallout; someone is going to get hurt and to a large extent it probably won't be Michigan mostly because of market share. Overall, the university is not atop academic rankings as it once was. Michigan may be in the top-20 or a lot higher, but, and there is no question, the "athletics product" will still diminish for the rest of us.
It is just a bad habit. There are better things to do than Googling michigan basketball news. Is this news? It sticks in my brain. A man was killed and Kyren Lacy got caught. At least it wasn't with a gun during a robbery, an optimist would say. The arrest and buffoon lawyer and everything was the beginning of this year. That was in Louisiana. Now in Houston he fires a gun, drives away in a chase and shoots himself. There appeared to be enough evidence to get on with it but the next day he was going to testify to a grand jury. Why?
I did the habit-forming searches. Twenty-four plus years old. Transfer. Perhaps 6th best receiver and multiply that by, say 20, and I don't know how many teams, that is the NFL draft. Then Reddit pops up; I "learned" some not mainstream gossip about Aday Mara there which certainly makes sense. There are people who really follow these things and have a need to show it. Entitlement is more than a claimed first hand observation by someone. Drug busts, traffic infractions, and much, much worse from high school on is a known fact for star athletes. Those who follow say poor and 100% football player. That does not mean prospect it means breadwinner, just ask the agent and the lawyer, and probably the family and parents too. In the end he showed some potential as a transfer in the deep South with a shattered, short career and earnings that will never materialize. That is a theory that makes sense to me.
