SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
I have a great feeling about the Hurricanes' chances for the extended playoffs, but that's usually the death knell for the team. So, go baseball!
Cricket is being played again with the West Indies tour of England. IPL will be played this year in the Fall probably not in India, though. Can't wait for that if it happens. Go Kings XI!

If you've had shaky legal moments in the past, your lawyer says you're in the clear once you repay the funds that were supposed to go to people in need, but you still have this nagging feeling that you might need a pardon someday, a round of golf is what the doctor ordered.

When's the last time there were no undefeated baseball teams after 3 games played?

Excited for the return of sports! Baseball has been interesting. There has been some /facepalm-worthy errors in last weekend's games. The rust was evident in some of the "Not Top Ten" plays, but also.. these are professional players who have played baseball their whole lives.
Hockey starts up soon and it looks to be a whirlwind of games ahead, here's hoping the Lightning get on a hot streak and win the COVID Cup. Last year's early post-season exit still smarts to a degree.
