Myths and Memory

By Bartolomeo di Giovanni - Walters Art Museum: Home page  Info about artwork, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=18783132

A myth is typically viewed as a thing of folklore, stories that are somehow religious in nature, but a myth was so much more for our ancestors. Myths were quite often poetic or musical in nature so they'd be easier to remember and pass down. They were also used to build a sense of unity in a group of people as well as help remind members of a group of of when things should be done, where they should be done, what things should be avoided, where people came from, and to make friends.

As many of the myths also have components of the night sky in them, with heroes or animals being turned into constellations, we can trace how those stories moved and how people moved. For example, there are stories that involve the constellations of Ursa major and Ursa minor that show up in South America because people who started in the far north moved south and the stories were too important to be forgotten. We can also trace myths by their themes, like how some myths have the creation of land by a creature diving or by a deity-figure calling up land from water. We can trace these ideas, these motifs, through their travels around the world.

Myths also moved in ways that we can trace through genetics, but slightly out of sync with genetics. Often, stories would go before genetic mingling occurred through an area. People would join together and share their songs and myths over a meal or while cooperating in a hunt, only later would one group move into an area or have children with each other. One example is that mythology about horses reached parts of Europe before horses did, based on the archaeological record.

By William Wallace Denslow - Library of Congress[2], Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7640324

We know that mythology was poetry or music not just because the oldest surviving literature we have access to is poetic in form, but also because it's far easier to remember and recite. We enjoy rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, all the poetry vocabulary that we learned in school. We also still use poetry and song to communicate important myths, like how to identify a disease (ring-a-ring of rosies), how to identify dangerous plants (leaves of three), or a tax on wool (baa baa black sheep). While these don't feel sacred to us as the word 'sacred' has come to be limited to religion only, they are passed on through generations both by guardians and educators.

Mythology was sacred, but in a way different to how we use the word today. It would possibly be m ore 'modern' to say that mythology was vital to the life of our elders the way that stories and songs are vital to us today.

4/1/13: Padres Overcome Injuries to Pound Mets

Monday, April 1, 2013 Citi Field

Final score: Padres 11, Mets 3 MVP: RP Robbie Erlin, Padres: 3.1 IP, 5 K, 2 hits, 0 runs, in relief of injured Edinson Vólquez

Starting pitcher Edinson Vólquez left after 1.2 innings and clean-up hitting Carlos Quentin left after being hit by a pitch in the 6th inning - 1 of 3 hit batters in the game - but that didn't stop the Padres from absolutely dominating their season opener in resounding fashion. The Padres walked away with a 11-3 win, and it wasn't even that close - the Mets were scoreless until the 9th inning. Robbie Erlin, called on in emergency relief after Vólquez went down - ironically enough, on a pitch that hit the batter, Lucas Duda - was masterful in 3+ innings of work to pick up the win, and the Padres never let up the offensive pressure, as they hit Jon Niese early and also pounded the multiple relievers the Mets through at them.

SD 11/11/1 -- WP: Robbie Erlin (1-0) NYM 3/7/1 -- LP: Jon Niese (0-1)

SD 1st: Chris Denorfia and Everth Cabrera started with lead-off walks and both came around to score, Denorfia on an error by Daniel Murphy and Cabrera on a subsequent wild pitch; there was a chance for another run, but Carlos Quentin was erased at the plate on a fielder's choice. 2-0 SD SD 5th: Cody Ransom hits a lead-off double to center, takes 3rd on a passed ball, and scores on Cabrera's sacrifice fly. 3-0 SD SD 6th: Yonder Alonso grounds a lead-off single to center, gets to second when Quentin is hit by a pitch and to third on a fielder's choice off the bat of Jedd Gyorko that erases Quentin's pinch-runner/replacement (Alexi Amarista); after Nick Hundley is hit by a pitch to load the bases, a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Will Venable and a RBI single by Ransom plate Alonso and Gyorko. 5-0 SD SD 7th: Denorfia receives a lead-off walk; Cabrera singles to center; Alonso singles to left to load the bases; Amarista hits a RBI sac fly; Gyorko launches a 3-run homer to left and Hundley goes back-to-back with a solo shot to right. 10-0 SD SD 9th: Venable hits a 2-out double to right, gets to 3rd on a single by Ransom, and scores on another wild pitch. 11-0 SD NYM 9th: Pinch-hitter Justin Turner walks and races to 3rd on Marlon Byrd's single before scoring on Lucas Duda's sac fly; Byrd is then promptly plated on John Buck's 2 run shot. 11-3 SD

Injuries: SP Edinson Vólquez, SD - out for 30 games OF Carlos Quentin, SD - out for 4 games RP Carlos Torres, NYM - out for 2 games

(Strat note: no Cameron Maybin for the Padres initially - he was in the additional cards set - so started Kyle Blanks and eventually pinch-hit with Will Venable; similar situation with Mets lead-off hitter Collin Cowgill, so used Jordany Valdespin. In contrast to this 11-3 Padres win, the real-life counterpart saw the Mets win 11-1. The Vólquez injury was obviously not a part of real-life, but we'll run with it and see how things unfold: it will be interesting because the 2013 season did see him released by San Diego in August - and promptly signed by the Dodgers; this shouldn't have any impact on that sequence of events, as he will be health by then.)

San Diego 1-0; New York 0-1 Next game in replay: SF (Cain, 0-0) @ LAD (Kershaw, 0-0)

[ad_1] Steve Waugh statue at the SCG Walk of Honour (PC: Trisha Ghosal) Agnijit Sen in Sydney I love cricket stadiums. The pulsating crowd, the electrifying atmosphere, make or break for players and above all, the SMELL. Yes, the smell. The smell of history, the smell of tradition, the smell of heritage, as you enter the iconic cricketing venues around the world. Be it Eden Gardens, Lord’s or the Sydney Cricket Ground. The New Year Test starts tomorrow. As I stepped in to the SCG for the first time, my heart skipped a beat. SCG felt like home. And the iconic SCG has indeed been a proud home to a number of exceptional athletes. Be it cricket, soccer or rugby. And SCG knows how to honour his/her children. There is a Walk Of Honour greeting you with arms wide open. As I started taking that walk surrounded by history and heritage of athletes, I felt like Alice in Wonderland! The Walk Of Honour starts with two statues. The first one is of Steve Waugh. It stands tall with Waugh holding his coveted baggy green in one hand and his bat in the other. My colleague Trisha Ghosal reminded of what Shane Warne had said in his book about Waugh. Warnie mentioned that Waugh had a certain kind of obsession with the baggy green, as if he loved it more than his life. Opposite to that statue, quite fittingly, stands the statue of Belinda Clarke, another Australian cricketing giant. The first-ever player to score a double hundred in limited-over cricket, much ahead of the little master from India. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Belinda Clarke statue at the SCG Walk of Honour (PC: Trisha Ghosal) However, the first name on the plaque is a no brainer. It reads Sir Donald Bradman. A cricketer with a 99.94 batting average. An ‘invincible’ man who once said: ‘Reading poetry and watching cricket were the sum of my world, and the two are not so far apart as many aesthetes might believe.’ A fitting quote by someone whose batting was indeed poetry in motion. The best part about this walk is it’s not only about cricket. Take Betty Cuthbert. Hailed as the golden girl, she is Australia’s most successful Olympic runner with three gold medals in the 1956 games. Actually, when you think of it, there have been plenty of Aussie athletes who could literally ‘run away’ with games. Reg Gasnier for example. He was the finest running back Australian rugby has ever known. Did you know much like the Ashes, some Australian soccer players had that England connection too? Joe Marston, the first Australian soccer player to succeed in England, finds himself in the Walk Of Honour. And who can forget the inimitable Keith Miller? Much like his personality, he was a larger than life cricketer. A fighter pilot in World War II, Miller was an attacking batsman, a terrific bowler and a superb slip catcher. No wonder they called him ‘Myth Killer.’ Then there’s Bobby Simpson, an outstanding opening batsman, captain and fielder. As you walk on with awe and gaze, you discover a ‘little master.’ No, not the one you are thinking. He is Clive Churchill, small in size, yet possessed all the rugby league skills in abundance. Sir Richie Benaud statue at the SCG Walk of Honour (PC: Trisha Ghosal) And there comes the legendary Victor Trumper. As you must have often heard, the ghosts of Trumper and Bradman still never miss an important Test match in Sydney. But as I said, it’s not about cricket alone. Otherwise Jon White wouldn’t have found his place. This man was one of the cornerstones of the Australian scrum. It’s said and it’s on record that Jon never had a bad match in national jersey. And of course, who can forget John Warren, who has long been soccer’s most visible public face in Australia. You wouldn’t dare miss the plaque of Sir Richie Benaud as well, captain, all-rounder (the first one to score 2000 runs and take 200 wickets in Tests) and the voice of cricket over the years. For us 90’s kids, Test matches in Australia were always about waking up at the crack of dawn and listening to his unvanquished charm on the commentary.

As I walked around, I found a sense of helplessness running through me. We, the Indians, have never fancied heritage. We throng the streets when a World Cup is won, but do we really honour and care about the heritage of Indian cricket? With all these iconic stadiums all across India, how many of them can showcase this Walk Of Honour, can become a tourist attraction for sports lovers? I think the responsibility lies with us as well, the media and most importantly, the fans. Heritage needs to be treasured and memories need to be cherished. It’s not a luxury anymore, but a much needed necessity. As I slowly began to proceed towards the Indian nets, I felt like carving a plaque for myself in the corner of my heart. Remember ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ scene? ‘Brooks was here. And Red was too.’ Maybe mine would read, “The legends were here. And a fan was too.’ Also Read: Virat-Rohit lose their stumps while Nitish faces short stuff, with Gambhir watching The post The legends were here and so was a fan appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

For the seventh year in a row Bellingham's Boundary Bay Brewing and the Bellingham Bells collaborate to release "Fielder's Choice Hazy IPA".

https://bit.ly/3VlhqJ5 Press Release Bellingham, Wash … For the seventh year the Bellingham Bells and Boundary Bay Brewery have teamed up to bring fans a special collaboration beer, Fielder's Choice Hazy IPA. Brewed specially each year to accompany summer nights under the lights of Joe Martin Field, Fielder's Choice is the most refreshing beer at the ballpark. This year, Fielder’s Choice Hazy IPA’s stats clock in at 6.3% ABV, 30 IBU. It's a home run of fruity citrus and tropical aromas from its immense pitch of hops - Simcoe, Amarillo and Motueka. With a low bitterness and a balanced malty sweetness, it swings into a creamy, smooth finish.  It is both refreshing and approachable. “Fielder's Choice is the beer that made me realize I like IPAs,'' says Alison Mestl, Communications Director at Boundary Bay Brewery. "If you’re on the fence, you should give it a try.” Fielder Choice along with other Boundary Bay Beer is available everywhere beer is sold at the ballpark, including the exclusive Hideaway Bar in The Boundary Bay Diamond Club overlooking first base. Additionally, it is available on tap at the brewery and in 12 oz Six-Packs across Whatcom and Skagit counties for fans to drink wherever they watch the game.

The 2024 regular season (for 28 teams) is nearly here! As we look ahead, hopeful for another division title, and pray for the body and soul of the Twins pitching staff, let's also look back at the highlights of a very roller coaster but memorable 2023. In celebration of the team that broke the streak, I've put together a countdown of the 10 best Twins games from last season.

(not counting the playoffs because of course the three wins would top the list)

Before we start, let's toss in a baseball-ified version of Jon Bois's somewhat arbitrary definition of a "great game" (from his excellent Minnesota Vikings documentary). A great baseball game should 1) end in a walkoff, extra innings, or with the tying run at the plate, 2) have both teams score at least 4 runs, 3) feature at least one lead change, and 4) end with one team winning.

And for the sake of this list, the Twins must win the game. We had plenty of objectively great games against Cleveland in '22, but all of them contributed to the permanent degradation of my soul. Other than that criteria, I'm selecting this for games that were exciting overall, not ones where the Twins crushed their opponents.

14 Twins games from last season met these criteria, from which I chose 6, then added 4 more that missed a criterion but still fit the spirit of a great game.

First, honorable mentions:

9/20: Twins 5, Reds 3. 9th inning comeback against Alexis Díaz after Hunter Greene struck out 14 Twins. Castro bunted, then stole 2nd and 3rd as the tying run in the 9th.

7/24: Twins 4, Mariners 3 (10). Jax blew the save by giving up a 2-run homer to Kolten Wong, then Kepler tied it in the 9th and Correa walked it off in the 10th.

8/15: Twins 5, Tigers 3. Twins fell behind early on Miguel Cabrera's last ever Target Field home run, then Wallner nuked an upper deck grand slam and got the season's first curtain call.

4/14: Twins 4, Yankees 3. Varland turned in a quality start after being ambushed early by solo home runs. Correa porched one to get the Twins on the board, then got the go-ahead RBI double in the 8th.

4/7: Twins 3, Astros 2 (10). Gray set a career high in strikeouts, but the lineup couldn't back him up until the 10th, when a messy inning set up clutch hits from Miranda and Farmer to walk off the defending champs and open the home half of the season on a high note.

10. 6/1: Twins 7, Guardians 6 A tight game swung hard in the Guardians' favor when Pablo López got BABIP'd to death by patented Guardiansball(tm) in the 6th, turning a 3-1 lead into a 6-3 deficit and magnifying the existing bad vibes of Buxton getting drilled in the ribs. But the Twins battled back in the 8th, and for the second time in his three games played, Lewis tied the game late, this time with a 2-run homer. Loading the bases with no outs in the 9th, the Twins managed not to choke for once, with Castro hitting a sac fly for the walkoff.

9. 8/27: Twins 7, Rangers 6 (13) This game was both epic and physically painful to watch. Amidst the only shaky stretch of his excellent season, Ober gave up a grand slam to Jonah Heim to put the Twins down 5-0 early. Keuchel went 5 innings in relief and combined with the bullpen for 9 innings and 0 earned runs. Lewis got the Twins back in it with his first grand slam of the season, then they tied it up off Aroldis Chapman in the 9th. Finally, after 3.2 innings of bad baserunning and bad swing decisions, Taylor drew the Twins' third straight walk to win it in 13.

8. 7/23: Twins 5, White Sox 4 (12) Aka the pink eye game. For the first 8 innings, this looked like a typical shutout loss as the Twins couldn't push runners across early and fell silent late. But then they rallied for 3 runs in the 9th and re-tied it in the 10th thanks to contributions from two players dealing with pink eye that weekend. Castro had a pinch-hit RBI double in the 9th, Gallo a pinch-run tag to score in the 10th when the right fielder fell down catching a pop fly (and then a bunt lineout because he couldn't see to swing the bat). Jeffers walked it off in the 12th to complete the sweep and move the Twins to 8-2 after the All-Star break.

7. 4/11: Twins 4, White Sox 3 (10) Pablo López's home debut got off to a bad start, as the first four White Sox batters reached and two scored. Then he locked it down, Buxton hit his 100th career homer to tie it and Taylor added another for the lead, and López proceeded to retire 23 consecutive batters. In fact, Twins pitchers retired 30 of the final 31 batters; unfortunately the lone exception was the Luis Robert solo shot Duran allowed on the first pitch of the 9th for his first career blown save. The first-pitch chaos continued in the 10th, when the Sox third baseman fielded Taylor's sac bunt and hit Taylor with the throw for the walkoff error.

6. 8/6: Twins 5, Diamondbacks 3 The Twins pitching staff behind Keuchel in his Twins debut turned in an interesting performance, allowing 11 hits, 6 walks, and 8 stolen bases but only 3 runs thanks to great defense and timely strikeouts. Meanwhile Zac Gallen faced the minimum through 5, but Correa redeemed his 2-GIDP performance with a 2-out, 2-run single in the 6th. Down 3-2 in the 9th after a Christian Walker home run, Kepler answered with one of his own off Paul Sewald as the broadcast discovered a "rally turtle" hat in the crowd. After a Polanco pinch-hit walk, Wallner smashed another home run to walk it off for his hometown team.

5. 8/24: Twins 7, Rangers 5 Fresh off a brutal walkoff loss to the Brewers in 110+ heat index, this game started off equally bad. The Rangers crushed López up and down the lineup to the tune of 5 runs, 3 via solo homers, in the first 4 innings. The Twins clawed back with solo homers of their own, including two from Taylor to tie his career high, while Winder turned in 3 clutch hitless innings in relief. Correa tied the game in the 8th, setting the stage for Jeffers, who'd been practicing against Will Smith's slider for two innings and smashed that very pitch for a pinch-hit, go-ahead home run coupled with a highlight-reel pimp job and bat flip.

4. 9/22: Twins 8, Angels 6 The Twins entered Friday with a magic number of 1 over the Guardians and Tigers, setting up the first home clinch since 2010. They loaded the bases in 2 of the first 4 innings against the Angels' opener and bulk pitcher, but came away with only 3 runs, which the Angels got back in a 5th inning flurry amidst López's otherwise solid start. Kirilloff hit a go-ahead homer in the 6th and the Twins loaded the bases again to tack on several more runs in the 7th. An 8th inning homer off Thielbar set up a roller coaster Duran save, ending on a nice play by Julien on a bases-loaded chopper up the middle. And with that, the Twins were back in the playoffs after a two-year hiatus.

3. 9/5: Twins 8, Guardians 3 A night after routing the Guards 20-6, the Twins had to keep the pressure on. Though they got on the board early, they faced awful BABIP luck against Tanner Bibee, and the Guards tied it via a Bo Naylor home run. They took the lead shortly after a blown review on what should've been a Polanco home run, but the Twins re-tied it on a solo shot from Vazquez. Polanco broke that tie with an 8th inning sac fly before Trevor Stephan completely imploded, walking/plunking the bases loaded and giving up a soft liner to Solano that bounced under Myles Straw's glove for a bases (and stands)-clearing triple. After a clean, cathartic 9th from Pagan, the Twins at last put the dagger in Cleveland's season.

2. 5/29: Twins 7, Astros 5 (10) The Royce Lewis comeback game was one for the ages. Making his season debut exactly a year after his ACL tear, Lewis predicted "something special is going to happen tonight", and he backed it up with a 3 run homer to start the scoring. Adding another chapter to the endless debate over Gray's mid-inning hooks, Stewart nearly managed to get out of their jointly created jam but instead gave up a go-ahead grand slam to José Altuve. One out from defeat, Lewis doubled up on that "something special" with a game-tying single off Ryan Pressly. Jeffers slammed the first pitch of the 10th into the Crawford Boxes, and Duran locked it down against the top of the order for the win.

1. 6/13: Twins 7, Brewers 5 This game didn't have the wire-to-wire tension of some others on this list, but the Carlos Correa signature moment has to take the #1 spot. A vintage Christian Yelich performance put the Twins down early, though they scratched a few back off Corbin Burnes to keep the game close. The sellout crowd stuck around for a rally, disappointed by a Gallo full-count bases loaded strikeout to end the 8th but rewarded with an unbelievable 9th. Against Devin Williams and his .42 ERA, Taylor homered, Julien walked, Castro pinch-ran and stole second, and Solano drove him in to tie it. There was no other way it could end but with Correa's first career *regular season* walkoff homer, complete with the watch pointing celebration and everyone's realization, for the 800th time, that Carlos Correa is a Minnesota Twin for life.

The Comedy Network (1997-2019) deserves a lot of credit. Much of their programming was absolute garbage, but it was also where people like Tom Green, Jason Jones, Nathan Fielder, Katie Crown, and Jon Dore established themselves, long before they were known in the United States.
