On this Memorial Day, remember the fallen ...





On this day:

• 1889: Johnstown Flood
• 1911: RMS Titanic launched
• 1916: Battle of Jutland

Baseball birthdays:

Joe Orsulak (1962), Kenny Lofton (1967), Dave Roberts (1972), Jake Peavy (1981), Shane Bieber (1995)

Today's other birthday boys and girls:

Walt Whitman (1819-1892), Pope Pius XI (1857-1939), Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993), Don Ameche (1908-1993), Clint Eastwood (1930), Johnny Paycheck (1938-2003), Peter Yarrow (1938), Joe Namath (1943), John Bonham (1948-1980), Tom Berenger (1949), Chris Elliott (1960), Lea Thompson (1961), Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels (1964), Brooke Shields (1965), Colin Farrell (1976)

Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment for starting another GDT after the team's recent performance, but it is the anniversary of Norman Vincent Peale's birth, so I suppose I should think positively.

Apparently the sun in this position makes it equally as difficult to throw strikes

Ross is the pitching equivalent of MAT. Dump him for whatever they can get.

Worse. Taylor WAR is .8, Ross -.4 in 2021.

Ross needs to pitch in mop up situations or be launched to the moon.

Pretty close to 19-31.  This time however, I highly doubt Nats win the WS.

I wouldn't trust him to mop my bathroom floor.
