@Coach_Hendrix1 You should have seen West Lebanon's own Valley News 15-20 years ago.

@mnmallards This looks like a wildly more expensive slate in terms of the cost of road games. Yikes.

@PuckDrop1957 @Berger_BYTES He doesn't even appear to be wearing shoulder pads.

@MyBoysNo1Fan "An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara." - NY Times

@StevePadilla2 I did the audio book version. Drifted me off to sleep for weeks.

@latsondheimer None of which matters when you have perhaps the worst owner in baseball.

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@latsondheimer Heck, I had a high school pitcher decline an interview request the other day because he didn't want to do "too much extra stuff". Strange times to be a reporter.

@TidesRadioVoice @NorfolkTides @OMAStormChasers @ESPNradio941 Or less bourbon.

@NateRobertson29 @FutureGophers @GT500_Sota You should meet some Ivy League guys. Not all of them, certainly, but you'd be shocked.

@TidesRadioVoice @NorfolkTides @KnightsBaseball @ESPNradio941 Do the Tides still have the 52-year old bat boy?

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@latsondheimer Meanwhile, in Northern New England, baseball teams got out on their drying fields just today.

@PWHL_Minnesota Hey, that's the guy who cheated to try and get his kid into USC!

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@BarstoolUMN I honestly think the turning point was when the refs inexplicably didn't allow Gophers time to fix the goalie's leg strap. All downhill after that. Would love to hear an explanation for why the backup had to come in.

@AlexKHall You go in there and remember when it was packed and LOUD and some of the best ice hockey players on the planet played there and then now.... sad.

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@AlexKHall That rink is in a sad state of decline.

@StevePadilla2 Just bought a house and am commissioning some book shelves. So exciting!

@ColorOfHockey @HockeyEquality @BlackGirlHockey @ErieOtters @OHLBarrieColts @DavidAmber @KevinWeekes @SiriusXMNHL @PierreVLeBrun The gentleman pointing on the right is 1990 NCAA champion and Hanover, N.H., native Chris Nelson, who was a defenseman for the U of Wisconsin.

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@latsondheimer Nicely done. The religious force feeding issue would have been worth a story alone.

[octopusathletics @8armgames]

@AlexKHall Why are no games ever played farther north than Concord, even when both teams are from farther north than Concord?
