The Raven

While I agree that there are far too many people on HS sidelines that are not working, doesn't look like it would mean much in this case. If you are on the sideline, you run the risk of being bowled over, be it 1 or 100 people around you.

I wanted Fiona Field at Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens Stadium.

No words. The man was just a legend. The best there ever was.

According to ESPNs Jeff Passan, Castillo is headed to join Winker and Suarez in Seattle.

They use replay to try and right wrongs now. I have no issues with a robo ump calling balls and strikes. What we really need is to keep the shift until batters learn to hit the other way, instead of just complaining until they outlaw it.

Sounds like they are dealing with a "small" problem before it becomes a major problem. Missing one week of camp should not be that much of a hinderance.

Not my vibe, but I hope he finds as much success as he can.

If he keeps Castillo and Tyler Mahle, this organization better be ready to break the bank in off season free agency. I don't see this ownership group doing that.

Because once they unload Castillo it's not a six man rotation anymore and he'll need the innings to try an improve.. And chances are the Reds unload more than 1 guy. So chances are those coming up the pipe are worse than him.

I think he throws Friday (I think that's his scheduled start) against St. Louis but then he's off to a contender. Sinking feeling in my gut says Tyler Mahle may be right behind him.

Curtis was the best receiver the organization ever had until Chad came to town (Some may argue Curtis is still better.). Big Willie was one of the lone bright stars in a lost decade. Glad to see he wasn't lost to history.

https://www.wcpo.com/sports/high-school-sports/four-time-state-champion-coach-john-rodenberg-energized-by-new-opportunity It mentions his stops at Moeller, Lawrence Central and Roncolli but mentions nothing about his title run at Covington Catholic. I wonder if that was the stations decision or his?

I saw a few comments and tweets like the one below. they could have done the "classic" Bengals look anytime they wanted. The helmets have always been orange since their first season in 1968. They could have pulled the stripes and added the block "BENGALS" at any time. Time to look forward with this squad, not back.

In the past, the NFL has limited the number of times teams could use the Alt. unis and helmets. I believe it was 2 times per season. If that holds, I'd see them using them in 2 high profile games. I'd say they do it Monday night 10/31 against Cleveland and then 12/4 against Kansas City.

Raspberry vinaigrette on most. I do like Caesar salads and I like bleu cheese on a chop or wedge salad.

On this date in 1957, John Lennon was scheduled to perform at the annual Woolton Parish Church Garden Fete, a parade and outdoor fair at which John and his Quarrymen Skiffle Group had been invited to play. Midway through their set, 15-year-old Paul McCartney showed up and watched. A mutual friend made the introduction after the show. It is easy to assume that John and Paul would eventually have met on some other day had some mutual friend not chosen to make the introduction. But as much as they had in common, the two boys lived in different neighborhoods, went to different schools and were nearly two years apart in age. Their historic first meeting was a highly charged combination of excitement, rivalry, and mutual respect.

If it's a force play all they have to do is touch the bag. As has been stated, as long as the ball is secure, runner is out. On a tag play, the tag must be applied with the hand controlling the ball.

Cleveland is either REALLY confident that Watson will be around for a majority of the season, or they are writing off 2022 and gearing up for the 23 season. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34201889/cleveland-browns-trade-baker-mayfield-carolina-panthers-draft-pick

At this point just wake me when the Pac12 and BigXII combine, the ACC and SEC both absorb smaller conferences and we have our Super Conferences. The NCAA will be gone and ND will either be in one of the supers or left playing NAIA teams.

I will probably wait until it hits Prime. I like Elvis's music, but I have no interest in his backstory.

Last time I noticed it, it was cash or card. But they had the ability to swipe a card. This day and age it's not a cumbersome machine. Can fit in the palm of your hand. Or you can use the cube thins on an iPad or tablet.

The split the pot crew there has or had been doing it for quite a while.

I will also add this. I LOVE baseball. I am trying to pass a little of that love onto my daughters, particularly my youngest, who shows more interest than the older ones. She will sit and pay attention and ask questions. But when we get up to go to the stands for a coke and some popcorn, her attention is diverted and she wants to do other things (like any normal kid.). By simply having a person walk down the aisle with a coke or some popcorn (or cotton candy or whenever) you keep a kid in the seat enjoying the game. You make the next generation of interested and invested fan. Don't do the stupid stuff you do and then wonder why you lose the next generation of fan.
