Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

This past weekend Marc Kennedy and wife Nicole hosted the 8th annual Marc Kennedy Curling in St. Albert.

75 teams. 304 athletes from western Canada and Ontario. 178 games played.

Marc brought the Brier Tankard. Special stuff. Inspiring the next great curlers in Canada.

In curling 🥌, every team member has a role to play
Sometimes, even off the ice, as this poster from the Carleton Heights curling club can attest (taken in 2015)
Duties of the rink members The lead must never forget to 1. Supply necessary refreshments to 2nd, third and skip. 2. Tell the skip, at least once each end, what a good curler he is. 3. Clean the skip's stones before he plays. 4. Look after the carrying of all brooms. The second must: 1. Perform any of the lead's duties which he has neglected. 2. Harass the opposing skip by asking senseless questions as he is about to play. 3. Drop at least one hair on the ice prior to each member of the opposing team playing. 4. Let his skip know that he is proud to be included in the rink. The third will: 1. Make sure that glenfarclas whisky is purchased by the lead. 2. Supply transportation to and from the rink. 3. Cheerfully lend money to lead and second if they run short. 4. See that the lead and second do not get together to say derogatory things about the skip. The skip always:- 1. takes full credit for all games won. 2. Distributes the blame fairly for all games lost, between 2nd and 3rd. 3. Walks up and down the ice trying to look intelligent. 4. Expects to be recognised and suitably entertained as a skip for the remainder of his life.

I'll add my voice to the groan about @tsnofficial.bsky.social choice for the feature game...why are we not seeing the elimination game between NS and ON. Jacobs and McEwen are great players but we're gonna see them tomorrow no matter what. Let's see the new kids on the block!
