Just a complete masterpiece by Sanchez. That was so fun. Cannot waste a chance to contend with him and Wheeler pitching like this. Forget everything else. Those two alone give them a chance in any playoff series.
Full list of quarterbacks who have started more than 10 games during their age-42 (or older) season in the Super Bowl era: Tom Brady. Just one way of considering how much the Steelers are betting on the exception with their Aaron Rodgers plan.
Only the 2nd time in the past 100 years of baseball there was a walk-off catcher's interference. The only other one was in 1971 (Dodgers beat Reds). #RingTheBell
The most hilarious walkoff in Phillies history. Just how you draw it up!

"One of the things I learned from CBA negations is: They aren't smarter than us...I think we sometimes are victims of having this belief that because these people have made it to the top of their profession that they are as good at what they do as we are at what we do. They…

Don't fully trust this Phillies team, but 14 games over .500 and 1st place despite Harper injury, Nola injury, and Alvarado suspension feels close to best-case scenario. Starting pitching gives such a high floor. Now go get a reliever and an OF (I know, easier said than done!).
From yesterday: I wrote about Novak Djokovic’s last stand this weekend On the Wimbledon grass at age 38, he’s looking to be the oldest man to ever win a slam and upset the younger stars that have recently passed him by
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have won the last six men’s Grand Slams and surpassed Novak Djokovic in the rankings. But this weekend could be Djokovic’s last, best chance to add to his tally. @AnthonyDabbundo: theringer.com/2025/07/10/ten…
Bryce Harper looking like Bryce Harper won't solve all of the Phillies' offensive issues, but it certainly helps! These swings today have been beautiful.

Look at what @SyedSchemes just sent me: Breaking down the film of my Uncle Walks. Just incredible content. Enjoy!
Most fun part of the Phillies season so far: Edmundo Sosa going into his HR trot… me yelling “ARE YOU SURE THAT’S OUT??” to the TV… me watching the ball sail over the fence.
Obligated to share: My Dad turns 81 next month, but is still finding ways to innovate. "I want ketchup on every bite. I've been doing this for years." Narrator: Nobody had ever seen him do this before today. Just an incredible move. Can't stop thinking about it.

Drafts are all about making decisions under uncertainty. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is being overconfident in your ability to "out-scout" your peers on evaluations. Hopefully Queen is great. But there's no defending the process here.
