OTM Open Thread 11/12: It is Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone. Team USA dropped the first game of their semifinal run in the Premier12 tournament in a 5-1 loss to Korea, though they did get a strong effort from C.J. Chatham. As I write this, however, they are up 4-2 against Japan in the seventh inning, with Bobby Dalbec knocking in a run and C.J. Chatham scoring a run. Meanwhile, the Bruins look to get back on track tonight after a bit of a slide of late as they host the Panthers tonight in a game starting at 7:00 PM ET. There is also a nationally televised hockey game between Pittsburgh and New York (Rangers) at 7:30 PM ET on NBC Sports. If college basketball is more your jam, there’s a good one between Oregon and Memphis starting at 9:00 PM ET on ESPN tonight. In the baseball world, the Manager of the Year awards get announced tonight. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.

Thing I Like Today

I liked to see former Deadspin editor and writer Barry Petchesky in the New York Times on Monday writing about the myth of sticking to sports.
