Laying up as we wait for better moneylines, and going full steam ahead into Pirates futures.
Stu’s Notes: Poor Jayson Tatum
Jayson Tatum might not deserve our respect. But he probably doesn’t deserve this. Also: Yusei Kikuchi lit up Tyler Soderstrom and Dan Campbell committed a very Dan Campbell rules violation.
Joe’s Notes: Dan Hurley’s Staying at UConn. That’s Risky.
This is not the safe move many are selling. Also: Caitlin Clark and Team USA, an SEC/ACC College World Series, and Sergei Bobrovsky is magic.
Off the Lake: Thank Goodness for Ian Happ
An Ian Happ appreciation post, plus: Drew Thorpe’s South Side call-up, Angel Reese’s double–doubles, and RIP Chet Walker.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, June 9th
Five MLB moneylines on a white-knuckle Sunday.
Happy Birthday, Joe Kelly!
Celebrations span the globe.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, June 8th
We look to keep the MLB win streak going as our NHL portfolio approaches its moment of truth.
Good Things Shrewing: Ranking Notre Dame’s 2023–24 Athletic Seasons
From lacrosse to volleyball, how all the Irish did this academic year.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, June 7th
We’re now 9–1 over our last ten MLB moneylines.
Why Is Joe Kelly Still on the IL?
What we can speculate, and what we know.
Joe’s Notes: Major League Baseball Needs Healthy Superstars
Baseball’s best didn’t use to miss this much time. Also, Dan Hurley should take the Lakers job.
Stu’s Notes: What Does America’s Newfound Cricket Dominance Mean for USA–Pakistan Relations?
Team USA has changed the game. Will this affect the war on terror?
Vroom Vroom: More Like the Canadian Grand Pee
F1’s in Canada, IndyCar’s in Wisconsin, and NASCAR’s in California. This is all backwards.
Off the Lake: The Cubs Need More Mike Tauchmans
The Cubs don’t need a Shohei Ohtani. They need an army of Mike Tauchmans. Also: Pedro Grifol needs to go, and are the Sky the WNBA’s Pistons?
Joe’s Notes: All the Pressure Is on the Celtics
The NBA Finals begin. Also: A’s home games, Michael Bloomberg, and the Alamo Bowl.
Stu’s Notes: Dan Hurley Was Not Built for Reality TV
A plot twist. Also: WNBA drama and Utah hockey names.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, June 6th
Two more MLB moneylines, as we cross our fingers and hope we’re getting hot.
Disco Inferno: Visit Detroit! Also, the Mustache Question.
Whom Sens fans should cheer for in the Stanley Cup Finals and whom the Burnleys will hire to lead them to Championship glory.
