    Russ Francis Killed In A Plane Crash

    The early 80s Niners team were fun too. He was a key piece of those teams.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Very sad. His soul is floating somewhere where we can't see it, like his best pitch.

    The racist incident that shook baseball nine years before integration

    Nothing casual about his reference to violence. Casual racism was acceptable, he crossed an obvious line, imo.

    2023 College Baseball - Tallon's Mounded Circle

    My sister is in her seat waiting to see her grandson play baseball. How great is that? I'm afraid game three between a team with four starters against a team with two starters will not end well.

    Nice! Healy is very good. I don't think my boy has all his stuff these days, but I'll take the win! Let's GO!! I like the Duke road grays - might get one of those caps.

    2023 College Baseball - Tallon's Mounded Circle

    It's do or die for Duke and the thread title's namesake. Duke's pitching has been thin due to injuries, including my boy who had a blown save against Miami in the final weekend, and gave up back-to-back HRs in the ACC tourney for the L. He maybe shouldn't have gone in those games, but I'm not...

    Oh for Christ's Sake.....People complaining about the rights and wrongs of end of season trophies

    Good post. My kids had good rec swim league experiences. The youngest's league gave out name embroidered towels with the kids name on them for time on the team, a red towel for five years, and a blue one for ten. The great thing about the swim meets is it takes tons of volunteers (including...

    2023 College Baseball - Tallon's Mounded Circle

    James Tallon's 11th save equals the program record. He is tied for the ACC save lead with Wake's Minacci (thanks to B.C.'s comeback, blowing Minacci's save attempt! ) James enters with a one run lead and two on and one out in the eighth facing the heart of the Miami order. Two impressive Ks...

    Duke goes 15-3 in April with weekend series road wins against BC and Virginia and a home sweep against Louisville. They've cracked a pair of top 10 rankings and sit atop the Coastal division of the ACC. They've done this with their pre-season #1 and #2 starters out for the season (Fox -...

    Duke sweeps Louisville. On Saturday, our boy James with his first blown save (ump was squeezing him) but gets the W out of it anyway, and then gets the save today! Tough schedule ahead with road series at Virginia and Miami.

    Tallon vs Honeyman Like I was saying, stone, cold assassin. No takers on my wager offer, unfortunately. With three hitless innings of relief, Tallon picks up two saves in the series. He's tied for 5th (with six other guys) in the nation with eight. Big thrill for grandma to see him live.
