  1. Yoshi pitching a gem. 6 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, 8ks. And DeGrom countered, but gave up a leadoff dinger to Edman.
  2. Edman leads off the game with a shot off DeGrom. He’s been such a great pickup.
  3. Ohtani back in LA for the birth of his kid. Damn, I thought he was committed to this team.
  4. We picked up App St QB Joey Aguilar, who I guess has been pretty good there, but nowhere near elite. Nico would be a big improvement.
  5. The longer this takes, the less confident I am that it’s gonna happen. Our $9.95ers remain confident, saying they are working out the NIL details and working through admissions. But we got spurned by his little bro on signing day. I don’t trust this family.
  6. Blowing pretty decently. 7 kts headed to Catalina
  7. There's dozens of them at the Rose Bowl every game.
  8. Cal football at an existential crossroads. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/the-unraveling-of-cal-star-exodus-a-donor-ultimatum-and-a-football-program-running-out-of-runway/
  9. Bruins have played the Vols a bunch. And won their fair share. I loved great programs. We were one once. Once it became a bagman bidding war in the wide open spaces, we were doomed. A California public university is far more interested in investing in science and other things. Hell, we invented the internet upon which we are conversant. Football, while a nice sideline, is not what makes this university tick. It’s groundbreaking medical advancements, and astrophysicists and business leaders. And these nerds aren’t as passionate about football as I am. I wish I was a whale. I’m just not. But hoping a few find their way to the athletic program. Because UCLA generates a FORTUNE I; donations. But unlike Texas, it goes to stupid shit like saving lives and eyesight,and the like. I wish it went to football.
  10. Damn, awful stat. Miller, Knack and Wrobleski all called up from Triple A. Combined 16 2/3 innings, 21 earned runs. We’ll really need all those arms we thought we had to start the season. BTW, Kersh had 3 scoreless in his tuneup at AAA yesterday.
  11. So I asked what we should do the Friday night I’m out there (we’re going to Dodgers v Sox at Fenway the last weekend of July as he’s stuck out there all summer). He said “why don’t we go to the Dodgers/Sox Friday too? Better chance of seeing a win.” I like the way that kid thinks. Done. I’ve done Boston before, and he lives there. We don’t need to do touristy stuff. When we were there a few years ago touring Northeastern, they all went to a museum while I went to Fenway and walked the perimeter. Bucket list for me.
  12. So I smoked a tri tip on Sunday, which turned out perfectly. Wife is out with a friend tonight, so made this tri tip Reuben with havarti, sauerkraut, horseradish, and thousand island. Damn if it wasn't one of the best 6-7 sandwiches I've ever had.
  13. Dodgers absolutely roping Marquez. Colorado may be historically bad
  14. Funny how the ads behind home plate are for Japanese products not aimed at Americans. Shohei and the Japanese triumvirate are paying for themselves
  15. That was a bomb. And Freddie crushes one after another Mookie K
  16. That last shot right at the end connected.
  17. We've dealt with nosey dads before...
  18. It's apparently done. If nothing else, UCLA football just got a lot more interesting in 2025.
  19. Would be funny if Joey Aguilar, the QB we got from App St, ends up at Tenn. There are slim pickins' out there for starting QBs.
  20. Not that I put too much stock into Trojan homer Cowherd, but https://x.com/colincowherd/status/1912594170008727615?s=46&t=As_M15SjGyqQUIWqUNog2w Could be a unique opportunity to get a player that would otherwise be out of reach financially for UCLA
  21. 15 years, $765 mil. Not sure how "dumb" I would call that.
  22. Hopefully it stays isolated to one location and they can pinpoint their attack. Fight the good fight brother.
