Batters To make the playoffs in 2020, the Marlins needed a few things to happen. First, some of their young starting pitching, the organization’s strength, had to take a big step forward. The other thing was that the offense had to become, well, an MLB-ready lineup. With a 2018 team wRC+ of 83 and 2019’s woeful 79, run scoring (or the lack thereof) was a serious drag on the team’s hopes.

MT. JULIET — The initial meeting between Wilson Central and host Green Hill was a battle for the first 10 minutes Friday night. But the Hawks closed the first half with a 19-5 run and the third quarter on a 14-2 spurt to blow out the Wildcats 61-35. Each team was without a starter.

dont take my word for it. heres john nicolai, the grouchy gatekeeper of lincolns presidential office. the secretary whose job it was to say no on behalf of the busiest man in the world and, boy, was he ever good at it. people called him irascible. that was the only one of the names that i can repeat in -- on c-span. when congress adjourned in mid july after about 7 1/2 months in session, having wrenched american history from the dead end of slavery toward the hard, slow course of freed...

pivotal year of american history. 1862 was certainly the most eventful year in american history. perhaps the most misunderstood. the year in which the civil war became a cataclysm. the federal government became a colasses. and yet, suffered the key losses that led to its doom. it was the year that abraham lincoln established his greatness. it was the death nail of american slavery. and it was the forge of the generals who would eventually win the war. then with names like grant, sherma...

as he was a little man, with a powdered head, having pale countenance but with little flow of courtesy. this is not a compliment, let me assure you. lets see. you can see up here, theres that reference to the wallpaper. when guests finally arrived on new years day, 1810, they came through the north door entering into an entrance hall flanked with fireplaces to the east and west. this is the modern day white house, but this is the entrance they would have come in. not much has actually ...
