Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me people are acting like the nun is 80 years old. If I'm doing my math correctly (which I'm pretty good at pats self on back), she's 48-49 years old. Yes, she definitely made the throw better than I could or most of us could. But she's played baseball and softball her entire life. I guess it's the novelty of wearing the nun costume that takes it over the top.

She makes every NBA player who's tried it, look like a fool. had nothing to do with age to me. She's got a nice arm. Good on her. And added some spice. What's not to like?

My daughter Jackie is a free swinger. Never walked much but never struck much either. That's changed in college. She needs to be more selective.

The Nats trade Murphy and Adams. I guess folding is en vogue

Oh, and BTW The yanks troubles? Their winning % is still second best in all MLB

They stayed the course. And now the Cup is there.

Hmmmmmmm I know they haven't said much about it, if at all, but I would suspect Austin/Rowson have had a working relationship in the past, before Rowson moved on. Cave possibly, too.

Rowson had zero input in any acquisitions.

Darvish out with stress reaction in pitching elbow. Man, the Twins missed out on that one Thankfully

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/21/2018 8:41:11 PM)
Eovaldi appears to have been mortal vs Cleveland, who is on the verge of 2 in a row in the win column at Fenway.
