Sawyer Hawks’ mother, Jess, had cystic fibrosis. Despite her illness, Jess always attended Sawyer’s games and tournaments. This is the story of a boy and his mom and of the family and community that rallied around them after Jess’ passing: #VandyBoys tennessean.com/story/sports/c…
4 💣s in my last ever summer ball tournament. Finished 20-7-1 and hit .333 with 8 homers. All Glory goes to God and I’m so thankful for everyone who has helped me along the way. @SEMADMavsHome @Cody_Stroud18 @ShooterHunt @PrepBaseballTN @tnballplayers @BenBadler @aria_gerson

No. 23 overall pick Sean Gamble signs w/@Royals for $3,997,500 (slot value = $3,852,100). Rare over-slot deal in 1st rd this year. Florida prep OF, bat-to-ball skills w/growing power, solid to plus runner who can patrol center field. Vanderbilt recruit. @MLBDraft
I like to cook but the hard part is feeling so restricted with ingredients because I, as someone who cooks for only myself, can’t buy anything that I wouldn’t be able to use up before it goes bad. I’d cook way more if I could always get the right ingredients in single portions
This brings something to mind: I know the act of cooking brings a lot of people joy, but if I could afford to never cook another meal for myself I absolutely would and I wonder how many people are like me?
The Orioles also have deals with the following players: 3rd RJ Austin, $823,900 5th Jaiden Lo Re, $562,500 6th Caden Hunter, $344,600 7th Hunter Allen, $147,500 8th Kailen Hamson, $97,500 9th Cam Lee, $197,540 10th Dalton Neuschwander, $27,500
At least for me I find that cheaper laptops have all these little annoying things that add up to cause a lot of frustration (for instance: having to mash the trackpad so hard to click anything that it results in calluses)
It's shocking to me how much people overpay for their electronics. $2k laptops to do nothing but check email and watch YouTube and $1k dollar phones. You can find a perfectly adequate computer for MOST uses for like $200 and I haven't paid more than that for a phone in 10 years
This is a terrible fit 🤷🏻♀️
Commit News: Former Stanford RHP Joey Volchko has committed to Georgia.
The vast majority of college football programs lose money
You know who else loses money? Major League Soccer. I don’t see anyone saying MLS players should be making less money.
