Marquis to Diamondbacks
Posted by Jeremy Fine
Follow me on 
Many Jews have been on the move recently. Adam Podlesh, Lawrence Frank, and Jason Kipnis. Now add Jason Marquis who was traded from the Washington Nationals to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks sent shortstop Zach Walters.
Marquis was 8-5 with a 3.95 ERA. He signed a big contract last year with the Nationals, but was injured most of the season. He has bounced back nicely this season.

And Let Us Say…Amen.

Another Bear Jew
Posted by Jeremy Fine
I am happy to announce that the Chicago Bears have reached a 5-year deal with punter Adam Podlesh. Podlesh has been one of the most consistent punters in the game. Very excited to have Podlesh join Gabe Carimi on the Bears. That makes 2 yids on the team. 8 more and we have a minyan. To read more about Podlesh click HERE.

Shalom to You Too Alex Tyus
Posted by Jeremy Fine
An article came across my email from Jacques Gliksberg, long time supporter of TGR. Great story about former Florida Gator Alex Tyus.
Tyus ended his college basketball career last year but unfortunately went undrafted. He has since decided to play in Israel for Maccabi Ashdod. Tyus, and his wife, converted to Judaism at the end of college and even held their draft party at Florida’s Hillel. Hillel must be doing something right with Tyus and Chicago Bear Gabe Carimi being so involved.
Another great story and talent headed to Israel. To read more about this incredible Jewish story click HERE.
Hope Tyus can get to the Association soon.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

The Beginning of Kipnis and Feldman
Posted by Jeremy Fine
Jason Kipnis has recently been called up by the Cleveland Indians. To date Kipnis has played in 2 games going 2 for 10 with two base hits (single and double). But that base hit was Monday’s game winner in the ninth against the Angels.
The Rangers have called up Scott Feldman for the DL. Feldman has pitched in 2.0 innings. He has no decisions, 1 K, and 4.50 ERA after allowing 2 hits and a run on Monday.
Hopefully they can both pick up their play.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

Frank to Get Another Shot
Posted by Jeremy Fine
It looks like the Detroit Pistons might have lost their Jewish owner, but gained a Jewish coach. Sources say the Pistons will name Lawrence Frank head coach in a matter of days. To read more click HERE.
Most recently Frank was on Doc Rivers’ bench in Boston. Before that he was the head coach of the New Jersey Nets, where he had plenty of early success.
Once the word is official we will update you all.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

Good for Jews and Me
Posted by Jeremy Fine
I am not happy when anyone gets hurt, but I am not horribly upset that Grady Sizemore is headed for a short stint on the DL. Why? Well, it means two things.
1) A top Indians player is out helping the White Sox.
2) Finally, Jason Kipnis gets called up the major leagues. To read more click HERE.
We will be following Kipnis. Congrats to the young second baseman from Northbrook.
And Let Us Say…Amen.
