Another miss for Barry? Did he make any headway?
Not really. He and Clemens both got around 60%.
Costas was on the MLBN panel, he figured they won’t get in next year either but might get in in 2022 (final year on the ballot) if enough writers just want to make them sweat the full 10 years. Moronic, but actually sounds about right.
The voters are so principled…

Rolen misses again. criminally underrated player. grrrr.
True. Really good bump this year, though, I think he’s on track to be considered seriously in 4-5 years.

I remember Rolen from fantasy baseball!
One of my favorites of all time.
I broke down and bought myself a pass to NBC’s rubgy coverage. Rugby sevens is such a great sport for casual fans. Let’s do this, Ireland. Seven point game vs Spain right now if anyone is up right now.
Aw shit, France vs. Canada up now, what an epic grudge match.
Scotland vs. Wales should be good.
PS: fuck France.
It’s like you go to grab a beer and there’s a totally different game playing. Rugby Sevens is so wild. Japan vs. Kenya? OK let’s do this.
Love Rugby. My good buddy is from New Zealand - we had some great parties at his house watching the All Blacks (usually lose) - with the games starting at midnight PST.
I can’t believe the stadium is completely empty. What are you New Zelanders doing right now that is more important than watching this epic South Africa vs. England grudge match? Fuck England.
Argentina demolishing Samoa 28-0? What the fuck?
Australia vs. Fiji just am historic grudge match. And now it’s Scotland vs. Wales? Every game is an epic rivalry! Rugby sevens is so great.
Who likes tennis? I love tennis, past my bedtime watching AO, seeing Kenin for the first time. Gauff started to beat herself but very impressed with Kenin.
Am I supposed to like this dude now?

I like tennis. Gauff/Kenin match was great, Kenin played it like a cold blooded killer. I was rooting for Gauff but Kenin won me over in the end. Kyrgios is my favorite player, and the Kyrgios/Khachanov was incredible, one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. Sad to see Nick go down against Nadal but I’m glad he played well. Nadal is just so tough. Schwartzman is another guy I root for but when he runs into Novak he just has zero chance. He just can’t create enough offense to even bother Novak. I caught Sandgren beating Berrettini in the second round and started following Sandgren’s run. He looked very good against Querry, and then again looked good against Fognini. The Sandgren-Fognini match was incredibly entertaining with tons of Fognini antics/drama and Fabio alternately not trying at all (losing the first four games of the second set) and then playing out of his mind (winning the next five games). Don’t like Sandgren’s chances tonight against Roger, but who knows. I love Roger so I don’t even know if I want Sandgren to beat him, but I love underdogs and the 28 year old 100 ranked Sandgren winning the Australian Open would be a great story. So fuck it, go Sandgren. Although, uh, he’d still have quite a bit of work to do to bring home the trophy, probably have to beat Novak and Nadal. Good luck with that.
