Was close to hitting another bomb down the LF line in his next AB. Hit the top of the wall was ruled foul but damn was it close.

Simone Biles might be the most dominant athlete alive in any sport right now. WOW

I don't know. Katie Ledecky is usually finishing the race at about the time that the rest of the field is starting the last 50 meters...

Not in the long distance swims. That's where she is completely dominant.

Field hockey is like ice hockey but worse in every way, and ice hockey is a godawful sport to watch.
"Oh instead of on ice let's run around. And instead of sticks that can actually do something let's have giant wooden candy canes." Boring!
America made the right choice to relegate it to a regional high school sport.

You know what's not an awful sport to watch? Gymnastics. About the only sport that I've watched that matches the stress and pressure of a playoff hockey game.
Too bad about the other aspects of gymnastics that drag it down because holy moly are those women and men athletic! And holy moly do they have a strong mental constitution!

Aside from your schtick about watching hockey being awful to watch, agree completely re: field hockey. Used to have to watch girls field hockey in high school because reasons and it was so bad. Watching the men at the Olympics isn’t any better. If you want something like hockey but not on ice and not actual hockey, play lacrosse.

Dude, yes. Looks insanely uncomfortable. Great Britain had a 43-minute powerplay yesterday and scored one goal. They spent most of that time looking like they were playing 1950s basketball before the shot clock when they’d just pass from corner to the elbow to the top of the arc and then back down again. Don’t think I saw them get a single decent opportunity (not that I’d know what one looks like in that sport, so I could be wrong). Just awful to watch.

Lacrosse is on par with any of the 'big 4' (5?) sports, and better than at least 2 of them, don't @ me.

Woods looks like he's settling in a bit. Average up to 270. Two run homer and a triple in tonights game.

I don't know what they did but their pitching staff is in disarray already with various injuries, and last night Rodriguez was scratched from his start at the last minute, forcing a spot start from Suarez which affected the bullpen as well.
