@uniformcritic Nettles in an Expos uniform is almost as weird as the lone batting glove on his left hand.

I started 30 years ago this summer at the Lock Haven Express, and we covered Bucktail. My predecessor wrote a column saying they should drop the program amidst a 3-year losing skid. I saw some of the complaints. Hope those Renovo folks enjoyed this season, one lasting into June.

Sure, there's trying to play in college, but you have to want and need a college education first. Then there's how well all these teams are even preparing kids for high school competition to make teams and win in front of local fans. Great read ($$) nj.com/sports/2026/05…

@JoeGarrisonNews @docmasse Soon went a.m., hired me, then it all went to hell. People say it's not a coincidence.

@lukereasoner @phillysport @PhillyInquirer 😃 there had to be a good reason. They weren’t going to screw that one up.

Best headline you're gonna get is "Head-scratcher in the Rai" since he's a relative nobody hope people care. Maybe he helps sell iron covers at munis. But PGA professionals at higher-end places are SOL with this one.

We're at the point where you need to hope for Divine Comedy when you tell the literary types you can't use "Into each life some Rai must fall" in a headline.

This needs broken down by decades. 20s - Hovland. 30s - Fleetwood. 40s - Alex Noren.

Who is the best player playing right now that you would confidently bet money on will end their career with zero majors?

Hard to see a possible Rahm win helping LIV long-term. As if they'd get new sustainable funding because he'd be the reigning PGA champ needing only the British Open for a career slam. And that event is on a different tour.

I remember when a State College course tried to be a last-minute replacement for the 1993 PGA that left Aronimink. Idea was Happy Valley could host Penn State football weekends, why not this? Inverness got it instead and Azinger won. psucollegian.com/archives/toftr…

@tomandmartys Moving the old Western Open off 4th of July weekend was the classic “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Always been ambivalent about a PIAA public/private split. You want to be the best, beat the best. If they do split, they should cut classifications in some sports. We've already got 6 in football, basketball, soccer, baseball, etc... That's more than plenty. Don't dilute it more.

@Skratch @chadmumm @WellsAdams LIV never had a dogged victim of inexorable fate, to quote the book title. Unfortunately, the PGA Tour is trending that way, too.

So the Steleers pick an offensive no one knows and Renegade plays and the best minor-league ballpark in the nation sits as empty as if the Pirates were actually playing. Somehow, the Nuttings are making money. This is such a Pittsburgh draft.
