On three days rest, a 42 year old Max Scherzer just went out and threw 7 innings, only allowed 6 hits, 1 walk to go with 7 strikeouts on 114 pitches. Tell me again how a pitcher can only go 5 innings.

The Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday morning traded Arjun Nimmala, one of their top prospects, for starting pitcher José Soriano from the Angels. @Sid_Seixeiro doesn't like it. #sick #thesidseixeiroshow

If this is the end of the Pens Big 3, what a run it’s been. — 3 Stanley Cups — 3,924 games — 3,974 points — 1,365 goals — 3 Conn Smythes — 3 Harts 20 years together. The longest-tenured trio in North American pro sports.

Stu Skinner on #LetsGoPens Anthony Mantha’s performance tonight: “Honestly, I’ve been to two straight Stanley Cup Finals and if we had a player half as good as Anthony Mantha on those teams I’d be wearing two rings right now.” Wow.

Mantha 30 goal Kindel 17 goals Brazeau 17 goals Chinakov 15 goals That’s 79 goals brought in by Kyle Dubas. At a combined $7 million. Plus he dumped Jarry on the Oilers. Dubas=hockey genius.

The iconic song “Hello ma Baby” from Looney Tunes' One Froggy Evening (1955), where it’s sung by the character Michigan J. Frog🐸, was the first popular song about the telephone and was about a man dating a lady over the phone without having ever met her. This playful novelty song originally came out in 1899 and was nearly 60 years old when it hit the cartoon stage. The repeated use of "hello" in the chorus ("Hello, ma baby, hello, ma honey, hello, ma ragtime gal") mirrors how people were using the word as a standard telephone greeting, popularized in the late 1870s and 1880s after the telephone’s invention.
