Mariners about to get swept at home by the Blue Jays

If you replaced the Colorado Rockies with a random Indy ball team wearing Rockies uniforms in their place, would we honestly notice a difference on the field?

Probably wasn’t a good sign for Derek Shelton that the entire Cardinals beat in unison yesterday afternoon looked at the Pirates schedule, realized they were off today before a home stand, and said, “oh he’s getting fired.”

Derek Shelton made it through 38 games this year before getting fired. It's the earliest firing of a Pirates manager since ... 1899! Bill Watkins only got 22 games worth of rope that year, went 7-15 and got replaced by Patsy Donovan. Nothing like a Patsy Donovan sighting!

Derek Shelton has been relieved of his duties as Pirates Manager. Pirates Bench Coach, Don Kelly, has been named manager.

One of the worst free-throw attempts you'll ever see. "Oh no!" - Reggie Miller "Holy smokes!" - Kevin Harlan #NBA #NBAPlayoffs

Rowdy getting big hits just often enough to make dumping him a questionable decision for the Mariners is as amusing as Solano staying on the team despite his clear lack thereof.

So out of loop that I was initially confused by Mariners claiming Taveras, thinking "Okay great but where on the roster is he gonna go and who goes?"... forgetting that at the time they had two quad-A placeholder OFs on the roster in Rhylan Thomas and Samad Taylor. Well then, yeah, easy decision.

Leody Taveras:

"If you're old and you aren't hitting, just retire. See if you can get a press conference when you do, and then cry on-camera as much as you can."

Going through the results of yesterday's Vancouver Marathon, and seeing how hard it is to negative split that race. The winner Dominic Arce did it. Only two other guys in the top 30 did it. 3rd place woman Claire Sumner did it + three other women in top 10 (Kat Drew, Eva Scott, Catrin Jones) did it.

I'm in Vancouver BC this week. Yesterday was the first time I got to *watch* the Vancouver Marathon. Pretty fun experience, actually. I can see why the crowds are so enthusiastic. I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do to get right and run it in 2026. Will spend the next year doing it.

Very brief jog in Vancouver this morning and... yeah, glad I decided ahead of time to drop out of the marathon Sunday 😂. Was gonna skip it no matter what, but I've been rather busy the last couple days and while aerobically I'm in great shape... my lower body is definitely not right now. Need rest.

"American Airlines is now paging the following guests: ... ILOVE... DONG... ROBERTS... SIM-"

This is not an Onion meme. This is something Altuve actually said. (To be fair a good manager would have moved that .323 OBP down a while ago)

I'll be in Vancouver soon. But at this point, barring a sudden overcast turn in the weather, I don't intend to run the marathon Sunday. Still going to do a lot of running while I'm there, but it likely won't be on the marathon course this Sunday. I'll still pick up my bib etc for posterity, though.

The difference between this and your typical college hoops final shot is that the Lakers at least moved and passed the ball kind of quickly. Still horrible decision making forcing a poor shot.

Bob Horner being the only guy to hit 4 HRs and lose was one of those random baseball fun facts I remembered my entire life. Geno ended up joining him in that clubhouse last night.

He's probably gonna need a month or two, similar to Bryan Woo last year, but man that Logan Gilbert forearm problem could have been a LOT worse.

Happy trails, Casey Lawrence. See you again in about three days

Logan Gilbert suddenly exits after three innings. Mariners fans react as expected

If I go to jail the wife will get me out. She never lets me finish a sentence!

Time to feel old, everybody!

So apparently Cody Rhodes and John Cena tonight had a Wrestlemania moment, except it was a Wrestlemania 9 moment rather than a good one 😬
