London 2012 was pretty successful. Huge and horrible part of the capital was transformed. Lots of sports facilities now being used as well as extended train links. Pretty much, all of the sports themselves were sell-outs. Of course the costs ended up being much higher than planned, and...

Didn't see the game. What happened to Lowry? 4 points in 33 minutes, with 11% shooting WTF. From the stats, it looks like the Raptors were out-rebounded.

Where is that from? NBA Power Rankings has Raptors fourth overall, but ahead of those two. Previous week Raptors were number one. Monday I anticipate they will be back to number one if they beat New York.

Those remaining huge contracts for Tulo and Russell are going to severely limit the Jays ability to get top line stars in 2019. 2020 and 2021 will be a different matter. Still lots to look forward to in 2019, not least Guerrero (spelling?) junior. Let's hope some of the young pitchers can...

A lot of the guys on Bluebird Banter like the signing. Choo Choo is one his nicknames. They like the fact that he's coming from the Rays.

I didn't see the game but followed some of the game stats up to the end of the first half (very late this side of the pond). The big difference as far as I could see was that Leonard had a much better second half. His shooting figures for the first half were quite ordinary and that was one...

I think the loss of Osuna may be countered somewhat by the addition of Giles. Couple of other positives are Grichuk recovering from an awful start as the season progressed and the emergence of a new generation of potential starting pitchers with Reid-Foley, Borucki and Pannone. ,

Different type of course to the ones they are used to. They should have done the French Open to understand what they were going to be finding. None of the US team did.

Whilst they have Tulo and Martin on their books it will be difficult to compete.

Agreed. You could add Giles and Pannone to that list as keepers.

Yes, I was following that and wondering just how bad that was in modern times? The good news was that Biagini came in and actually did well.

Correction. Was about to try to bust the Englishman. We'll never know whether he would have been successful, will we. Looks like Froome is saving a bit for the third week (as he did in the giro). Pretty disgraceful crowd behaviour with one guy trying to slap Froome and others spitting at him...

I saw it the same way. I guess the referee did too. Really unlucky for Croatia though who had been slightly the better team up until that point.

The final was all too predictable but I was happy to see Nadal and Djokovich back at Wimbledon. Only Murray missing but soon to return.

Sterling got a lot of criticism in the English press for his performances before last night's game. I suspect the team and manager wanted to give him the chance to redeem himself by feeding him all those long balls. Didn't work though and led to a kind of game that didn't play to England's...
