Long book reviews now at the blog, which can be found here: garik16.blogspot.com Hockey stuff is at @lhhockey and @HockeyGraphs How do I get thru books so fast? I, well, like reading, and I now have about 90 minutes of train commute a day to read and take full advantage.

Okay, I said I was going to do it after the Mets season and I'm going to follow through - I'm abandoning this ap (although I'm keeping my account). I'll still be around posting sports and book stuff on the blue site.

It did not look different in a month
This could look so different in a month or a year, but right now, the Dodgers getting Edman (138 OPS+ in 100 PA) and Kopech (2 ER in 19 IP) in that three-teamer no one understood for CHW looks ... incredible.

1. QBs already are treated like running backs when they scramble 2. A defender falling for a pump fake when he's 5 yards past the line of scrimmage is always going to be funny
I'm not exaggerating here: I think this kind of rope a dope is garbage, especially when you whine the second you get nicked a half step out of bounds. QBs, when they scramble, should be treated as running backs. Period.

James Dolan had the WNBA team playing in the same arena as the G-League team because he thought they were on the same level. Then he sold the team, they moved back into a big building, got sellout crowds, and won a title.
“When we bought the team four years ago, they were playing at Westchester County Center to a crowd of 2,000.” - owner Clara Tsai Last night, the New York Liberty won their first WNBA title in front of 18,000 fans at Barclays Center.

We went from “MLB has devalued the regular season too much” to “it’s offensive to me personally that the best teams in each league made the World Series” in record time
The worst part about the World Series not starting until Friday is that I now have to sit through four days of people arguing about whether Yankees/Dodgers is cool or lame

Liberty owner Clara Wu Tsai on the franchise’s first WNBA championship: “When we bought the team four years ago, they were playing at Westchester County Center to a crowd of 2000. And the first thing we wanted to do was bring the team to Barclays Center so that they could have a bigger stage. And then we wanted to give them facilities and performance and nutrition and everything that they deserved, because they’re such elite professional athletes.”

Can't believe Blake Treinen is allowed to pitch here when he should be behind bars for his role in January 6.

Were the refs trying to not call any fouls there? There were five fouls at least before they called the blocking foul

Phil Maton is awful. I just don’t get why he’d be in in a win or go home game
