I'm watching in the US and they mentioned it quickly said "they're lifting Kinghorn, looks like something off the training ground"

The US is winning this game through dinks and doinks, meanwhile Canada is hitting the ball hard but only at 'em balls. 1 game elimination baseball is ridiculous and great

It's shocking how much the announcers will not say South Korea

State’s Attorney Turned β€˜Blind Eye’ To ICE Abuses, Petition Calling For Special Prosecutor Says Nearly 250 people back a petition they say is needed because Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke has failed to act.

I'd say more because they are anti Zionist versus the very radical but still Zionist (in the olden sense, not in the now normative sense) of either Hashomer Hatzair or Habonim Dror.

Hilariously, I can narrow it down to two camps but not sure which one. The more radical or less radical socialists?

I've been polled by them every month since 10/7 and I'm 1 of the respondents (against the war, obviously). It's very interesting because their usual monthly analysis polls have been pretty good imo.

I say it as every pitch in a pro ball game at this point is "lab grown" aka grown in a pitching lab where the pitcher worked on that pitch at some point. There are definitely implications to that (move the mound back is my big takeaway) but it's just much clearer how to dial up velocity/spin etc.

1. Here's a little thread on one of Canada's greatest athletes who was largely forgotten by most of his home country: the three-sport phenom "Fabulous" Fred Thomas.

People always say replay should be "clear and obvious" and the long replay reviews spoil the lie. There should be a 45 second countdown clock, if you can't figure it out in 45 seconds, it's not obvious or clear and the original call was fine

Based on how this has gone recently in the other direction (at least for the men) he'll be gone in about 6 weeks right?

Yes, the discussion is whether you can only blank one end per game, otherwise the hammer flips.

Why is NBC lying about Jamie Sinclair's (legit) curling credentials? She never won a Scotties. She qualified for two of them, that's really good! but never won

Before that, they need a curling program. Somebody needs to dethrone the University of Alberta Pandas

There are a lot of the summer team sports that we don't even qualify for most of the time like Team Handball or Field Hockey so those probably.
