RIPPA

Jacob Misiorowski and four Brewers relievers combined to tie the MLB team record for strikeouts in a 9 inning game with 20 Ks Its sets Milwaukee's franchise record and is the first time a team has recorded that many Ks on Opening Day Per the Brewers - 10 teams have struck out 20 batters in a 9 inning game. The last time was the Mets in Sept 2022

a lot of teams playing like they didn't realize the season started today

Brandon Lowe is playing like a man who wants to get traded at the deadline

Hades II I now have plans on April 14th

Paul Skenes getting lit up and yanked in the first inning was not on my bingo card

The End of Oak Street Directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor Speaking of giving things away in the trailer EDIT - IMDB calls this movie Flowervale Street so clearly there was a last minute name change

To be fair - and for context and I am gonna throw up doing this - the blurb/headline is very click baity Basically - the plan was floated months ago and is even one of the three finalists that Penn Station announced as possible for renovations The plan is from a conservative non-profit and since any plan has to be approved by James Dolan - the group went to the President to get him to put pressure on Dolan because Dolan has flat out said he won't move MSG (again...) It should be noted that Amtrak got the three finalists to agree to a gag order so as you can see that is getting violated already NEW YORK POLITICS BABY~! EDIT - also you can see the group sucking up to the President as the head backer is already all MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IS SUCH A BORING NAME!!!! (I will let you fill in the dots)

From the "you can't make this up" department Will Wade is indeed bailing on NC State to go back to LSU And yes - LSU fired Matt McMahon today

Since they eventually deleted the tweet here is a recap https://awfulannouncing.com/twitter/bet-mgm-shamed-x-post-false-unc-coaching-report-phil-jackson.html

Connor McDavid scored his 400 goal and 1200 point last night He is the 3rd fastest player to 1200 points (behind only Gretzky and Lemieux) He is the 5th player to reach 400 goals as an Oiler Oh and his next assist will be his 800th

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Victor Hedman is taking a temporary leave of absence for personal reasons, the team announced Wednesday. The Lightning did not share further details and asked for Hedman's privacy to be respected.

Arizona's Tommy Lloyd said his full focus is on Arizona's run in the tournament but he also didn't deny he would be interested in the UNC job I mean I don't blame him since at a minimum he is maneuvering to get a new deal from Arizona

The latest in the Yu Darvish saga is that the Padres placed Darvish on the restricted list They free up a roster spot and are do not have topay Darvish's salary Darvish was already scheduled to miss the season due to recovery from elbow surgery still says he isn't ready to retire (in you remember back in January, there were reports Darvish was retiring but he then said no but that he probably would void his contract) He (Darvish) did acknowledge that he is waiting to see how rehab goes first before deciding if he will retire

Meanwhile - the T-Wolves came from 13 down in overtime to beat the Rockets It is the biggest overtime comeback in NBA history This was after Minnesota coughed up an 11 point lead with 3 1/2 minutes left in the 4th

You have to radically realign and then have it been Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and pick a 4th (I always default to the Cardinals but technically Denver or KC might be closer - stupid fucking giant Texas) It is why MLB is gonna get worse when they expand to 32 teams because they would have to radically realign to get into 4s and basically there is no way to do that with out pissing off some version of the Cardinals or Cubs

He still plays for a New York team. Plus honestly he is more appropriate than say Jey Uso and Jacob Fatu Ex: the clip of Harrison Bader talking about batting against Jameis in college (and Jameis talking about how everyone wanting to face him because he had won the Heisman)

Yanks have 5 runs in 2 innings and Aaron Judge has struck out twice Which is so not surprising

And suddenly Logan Webb is getting smacked around

Fair warning - Rob Manfred is gonna be in the booth at some point tonight

The NFL's geography is still insane but the genie is out of the bottle there because there is zero chance that the Jones family will every agree to be apart from NY and Philly

Well that's the NBA's own fault for not realigning when the Grizzles moved in the first place And, in general, most leagues don't insist on expanding the way the NBA is doing it where you have two very West teams joining at the same time Like if you look at MLB - every expansion since 1960 has consisted of two teams on opposite sides of the country (relatively speaking)

Its gonna come down to who begs the NBA the most since clearly both Memphis and Minnesota are gonna beg to get out of the West And since the NBA has all but said its one of those two teams anyone saying anything else is just engagement farming Most likely its gonna be the T-Wolves as all their other local rivals (based on the other big 3 sports) are in the East

Per ESPN - UNC's top target is to lure Billy Donovan away from the Bulls

The PCA extension is 6 years, $115 million. There are no option years so the deal buys out his first two FA years

Apex Charlize Theron gets hunted by Taron Egerton because sure why not
