Fox Sports commentator Shannon Sharpe has been unfairly relentless in his attacks on Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, to the point of being downright wrong. Might have something to do with Sharpe’s brother having attended rival South Carolina. Good information in the article.
Denison: Say about people only what you would say to them. This imperative applies to the way we speak of celebrities and political leaders as well as neighbors and colleagues. Jesus taught us to go directly to a person who sins against us (Matthew 18:15). Gossip and slander are forbidden by Scripture (Leviticus 19:16; Proverbs 16:28). We are commanded: "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Ephesians 4:29).
Not a good day in SC. Rain. Ceil’s mother’s car broke down. Fixed now. Anna’s car in bad shape. Busy day at work.
Last night I made beef quesadillas in a frying pan. Getting better at it. Chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat for lunch today, with cheese and bacon.
I’m not a big fan of ROGER CLEMENS [SABR Bio] was the first pitcher to strike out more than nineteen batters in a nine-inning game in the modern era. On 09-Apr of his MVP season, 1986, Clemens mowed down twenty Seattle Mariners, including Phil Bradley four times. Clemens stuck out 20 again in a game ten years later. On 18-Sep-1996 he again stuck out 20 Tigers in a 5-hit shutout, handing DET their 101st loss that year. No pitcher in history has stuck out more American League batters. Proud owner of 4,167 AL Ks. Has an additional 505 in the NL for a total that puts him third on the all-time list behind Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson. In a World Series game on 22-Oct-2000 against the Mets, Yankee Clemens took umbrage at a portion of a Mike Piazza’s broken bat as it was headed his way and threw it out of the playing field. Unfortunately, he threw it right at Piazza. On purpose? You be the judge!
HOYT WILHELM [SABR Bio] is the only player who has pitched for the Giants and Dodgers as well as the White Sox and Cubs in the Live-Ball era. Played for NYG 1952-56, for LAD 1971-21, CHW 1963-68, and CHC 1970 (the Live-Ball Era began in 1920). He was the first pitcher born in North Carolina, inducted to the Hall of Fame. Born 26-Jul-1922 in Huntersville, North Carolina. HOF 1985. His hometown has erected a statue in his honor. There is a statue of a young pitcher near the James Hoyt Wilhelm Fields at the Huntersville Athletic Park. Click on this link to view the inscription containing Wilhelm’s career achievements.
Today’s sneaks # 36: I borrowed these old school black ECCO loafers. Not too excited about the style, plus they’re kinda tight.
