- I hate to be the “back in my day guy,” but kids today will never understand the Eagle’s Nest at Giant Eagle. That was the childhood Mecca. I used to love when my mom went grocery shopping because it meant I got to play Tarzan on the Nintendo 64, a luxury I didn’t have at home.
- Shame on you if you robbed yourself of the Guardians’ incredible season because of a name change.
- Astros legend Trey Mancini's first career grand slam goes 377 feet. Think Houston's gonna like this guy. 6-1 Astros.
00:00 - The Guardians just took the lead on a throw that hit Josh Naylor in the back. Baseball.
00:00 - Charles Barkley is currently on the CBS halftime show in a Kent State jersey. This is a thing that is happening
- Myles Straw appears to be about that action, boss.
- Steven Kwan on how he decompressed after last season: "I went out to Chicago and didn't do anything. I woke up at noon every day, ate whatever I wanted to and played some video games." Dudes rock
- An altercation just occurred in a shoving match between protestors and police. At least one person was arrested
00:00 - Five years ago today Ted Cruz came to Erie and took one of the oddest photos ever. Still not 100% convinced it even happened.
- Martín Maldonado this series (so far): 4-for-6, 2B, HR, 3 RBI
- Mike Vrabel using Belichick’s own clock exploit against him:
- Hurston Waldrep was fired up after getting Kyle Manzardo to strike out in what likely his final hitter of the night. His line: 6 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 7 K
00:00 - This is the first time Cleveland has led the AL Central by more than a game since Oct. 1, 2018.
