Don't blame Laureano in the slightest for being ticked off. 3rd time he's been hit in the series, 2nd of the day and 5th

Today was supposed to be my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. Even though she knew weeks ago today was not going to be the day and it’s been postponed to the fall, was still a difficult day in our house. This experience will make her stronger and we couldn’t be any prouder of her.
So Yoeli Childs gets horrible counsel in between coaches at
@BYUbasketball
, pays everything back the next day after he went through the process clean last year with no agent. He could have easily swept this under the rug but instead comes clean and tells the truth.
That day is one of my favorite Bill stories. When we were sitting in Moda Center and Izzo walked over screaming toward BW "Conference of Champions, we're fraternity brothers now!" And Bill buried his head in his hands noticeably groaning. Izzo then proclaimed
I remember when I first met Bill Walton just being in awe. He was part of the '86 Celtics and a guy I just idolized. Then I got to work with him a few more times and realized how genuine he was and how much he cared for you. (1/2)
Congratulations to
@Utah_Football
. Classy program with terrific people on and off the field. Well deserving of their 1st
#Pac12FB
Championship. Happy for
@UtahCoachWhitt
and his players. They have been through so much this season, stuck together and earned it.
So this is a first…we are less than an hour from tip and
@OregonMBB
is not here at Pauley Pavilion. They are stuck at their hotel and not moving because of Presidential motorcade.
Wait, you have to be kidding me? How do you not have
@CalFootball
on lists?
QB: Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Kyle Boller, Davis Webb
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Shane Vereen, Justin Forsett, CJ Anderson, Jahvid Best, JJ Arrington, Adimchinobe Echemandu
So
@CalBaseball
wins 20 of last 25, sweep of Oregon State and win over Pac-12 Champ Arizona at Pac-12 Tournament and gets left out?
Of the bubble teams that got in Cal swept UConn in a 3-game series and has a win against Kansas State.

will be making his season debut for the NHL on ESPN in Anaheim for Friday night’s matchup between the Sharks and Ducks exclusively on ESPN+ and Hulu.

Heartbroken.

my friend. Thinking of and prayers for Carol and entire Fosse family. We lost a terrific man. No one was as passionate, cared or loved what they did more than Ray. A’s baseball will never be the same without him.
There are so many great stories in college hoops this season, but what
@WSUCougarsMBB
is doing is as good as any. Kyle Smith should be National Coach of the Year. Lost his 4 top scorers, replaced them with transfers from Idaho & D-2 Sonoma State and a cancer survivor.
Dave Rose is a terrific basketball coach and a wonderful man. I have really enjoyed getting to know and work with him over the years calling
@BYUbasketball
. Congrats on a tremendous career. Best of luck in retirement and hope to cross paths with him in the future.
RIP Coach O. A legendary figure in the landscape of college basketball, putting Tucson on the hoops map and turning
@APlayersProgram
into a national power. The 1997 National Title the pinnacle moment. Thinking of his family, friends and former players and coaches.
Former Arizona coach and Hall of Famer Lute Olson passed way earlier tonight, his wife Kelly told me. Olson was 85 years old.
RIP, Coach.
My Ode to Lute:
My Ode to Lute:
And Cal has 21 aggregate wins in Pac-12 after going 17-13 in league, 2 wins at tournament and 2 mid-week wins over Stanford.
First time in Pac-12 history and team with 17 or more league wins, at least 36 overall wins and fewer than 20 losses has been left out.
So
@CalBaseball
wins 20 of last 25, sweep of Oregon State and win over Pac-12 Champ Arizona at Pac-12 Tournament and gets left out?
Of the bubble teams that got in Cal swept UConn in a 3-game series and has a win against Kansas State.
For anyone that had
@CalBaseball
on the bubble, you can take them off...they are in! 6 straight wins, 10 of 11 and 20 of last 24. Knock off Pac-12 Champion Arizona and are now in semis of
@pac12
Tournament.

Due to the increase in COVID-19 numbers in Austin we’re gonna move the concert to a better date. We were hoping for better Coronavirus numbers by July but Unfortunately the numbers have increased quite a bit so for the safety and health of everyone we’re going to stay home.
Two elderly folks were struggling to get back into their car following a stop for gasoline.
These three young men saw what was happening and immediately stepped-in to assist.

Imagine being the play-by-play announcer on a game with Bill Walton ... and *now* imagine that you're doing it remotely, 100s of miles away from each other
Really disappointing to see NCAA Baseball committee leave out a very deserving

Heartbreaking to see the news of the passing of

@Athletics
legend Sal Bando. What a wonderful man! Loved our many conversations and interactions over the years. An amazing ballplayer on top of being such a welcoming, kind and engaging man.
13 years ago this woman officially became a sports widow. Fitting that on our anniversary I’m working with
@BillWalton
in Salt Lake City. Happy Anniversary! As BW likes to say, “Thank you for my life!”
My wife is thrilled that I’m spending our anniversary with my new better half.

Can not tell you how much this hurts and disgusts me to see this taking place at my alma mater. Shame on the administration for not doing more to protect Jewish students on campus and allowing the spread of hate/anti-semitism, plus allowing the promotion of a terrorist group.
Heartbreaking 💔- students at UC Berkeley plead with Vice Chancellor of DEI Dania Matos and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Steve Sutton to protect their Jewish students as promotion of Hamas intensifies on campus.
I'm still in amazement of the game I just called. Just a fabulous night all the way around. So privileged and honored to be able to call

with
@GreggOlson30
. Thank you baseball! I love my job and I love the game of baseball.
I met Rod a handful of times, calling Auburn games over the years. What a really nice man. So professional and welcoming. A very sad day. Can't stop thinking about his kids and family. Please keep his kids in your thoughts and prayers.
Congrats
@sabrina_i20
on the amazing milestone. Can’t thank you enough for taking time to talk to my daughter and putting the huge smile on her face. She got to meet one of her heroes tonight and her hero could not have nicer or more welcoming. Thank you Sabrina!
Beautifully emotional call from
@KenKorachRadio
. Precisely the right tone and feeling for the moment. Another example of why Ken is as good as there is.
"The memories hopefully will last forever. May those memories be a blessing."

Thank you Oakland.
Terrific win for

practice as they get ready for
