[Starting 5 @PlayStarting5]

A little over a week ago I made a daily NBA game called Starting 5.

Every day you get a random team from NBA history and you have to remember it’s 5 starters.

You get 5 guesses.

First one’s blind, then you unlock hints as you go. A perfect score is 1000.

Over 4,500 people have played so far which is wild to me.

If you grew up watching this league you’ll get way too into it.

Have you tried it yet?

Working on some new features soon like “play yesterday’s puzzle” and a hard mode.

@TheBlogfines Haugh is insufferable. You pay Bregman $30M a year to deliver, and it's on him to do so. And, by season's end, Bregman is going to come through more than he doesn't because he's a proven player - it just didn't happen at that AB.

@gregbobak good grief, I couldn't tell if that dude was doing a bit a la original Stephen Colbert character. Nah, he's just a humorless pedant.

@brendan_cubs @cody__cubs You're my go-to for staying sane, Pitch Doctor. Keep doing you.

@TheBlogfines Statcast had his 4SFB at 89-90 in the 4th/5th, but was able to giddyup to 92 at the end of the 6th. Prob pushed him to his max today.

Michael Conforto crushes a walk-off homer for the Cubs!

The Reds led 4-3 entering the ninth.

@MrSnugglesBets @Brett_A_Taylor stay classy

[MacArthur Antigua @macarthur31]

@Shawn_Foss @MrSnugglesBets @Brett_A_Taylor Fair point. Shoot, his luxury tax hit is $19.1M per year, so that's roughly 2.4 fWAR per year. PCA would exceed that on glove alone.

[MacArthur Antigua @macarthur31]

@MrSnugglesBets @Brett_A_Taylor PCA makes $894K this year, and $10.8M per year '27-'29. So, skip ahead to next season's wages, and he needs to earn roughly 1.4 fWAR to earn his "baseline." He's already at 1 fWAR and on track for 5 fWAR by season's end. He's already exceeding "baseline."

For you sickos who are about @NUMensBball, shout-out to @WildcatNation_1 for consistently putting out some great content. Keep it up!

[Wildcat Nation @WildcatNation_1]

2027 isn’t just another season for Northwestern — it’s one that will make or break the program

After the highs of NCAA Tournament runs in '23 and '24, the Wildcats now face a full reset: new roster, no Martinelli, Barnhizer, or Buie, and real questions about the program’s direction that I have not heard since 2022.

I still believe Chris Collins is the right man for the job, but this is the year to prove it. Full breakdown ⬇️
