  1. Yeah, the game was tight in OT, and the only time Boston had a distinct advantage in chances were in the 1st period and 1st OT. Even then, it was fairly close. In the 2nd and 3rd periods, though, the Hawks outchanced the Bruins something like 20-8.
  2. I'm not sure about anyone else, but in the game I watched, the Hawks completely dominated periods 2 and 3.
  3. Who is that guy? He seems pretty cool. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eUYgGL9OHSU/UYvy8j5fGoI/AAAAAAAAALQ/ZLRY8pYH-YY/s320/Neil+deGrasse+Tyson+Orlando+September+2013+Winter+Park+Institute+Rollins+College+Free.png
  4. C - Castillo (since it has to be based on what we already have) 1B - Rizzo 2B - Alcantara 3B - Baez SS - Castro LF - Soler/Bryant CF - Almora RF - Bryant/Soler SP - Samardzija You forgot Vogelbach for when the NL adopts the DH in 2015.
  5. Looking at the remaining non-Mexico games: USA v HON (USA W) CR v PAN (CR W) CR v USA (D) PAN v JAM (PAN W) HON v PAN (HON W) JAM v CR (D) HON v CR (HON W) USA v JAM (USA W) JAM v HON (D) PAN v USA (D) Those results would leave the standings: USA 18 HON 14 CR 13 PAN 10 JAM 4 Mexico has roadies @ USA and CR, with home ties against HON and PAN. If they lose the roadies, that automatically puts 1st or 2nd out of reach for Mexico, and if they couldn't beat Honduras at home, they'd be looking at 4th at best and hoping the USMNT plays for a draw at Panama.
  6. Good half, aside from the turf and the officiating.
  7. Mexico practically has to root for the USMNT these next two to keep other teams in striking distance.
  8. Mexic0
  9. Mexico has yet to score a goal at home.
  10. Ian Stewart's twitter feed has been taken over by a robot. BeefStew2 ‏@IAN_STEWART_2sc 12m I am focused on getting back to the big leagues and am working everyday to make that happen. BeefStew2 ‏@IAN_STEWART_2sc 12m I let my frustrations get the best of me and in no way want to be a distraction. BeefStew2 ‏@IAN_STEWART_2sc 12m I want to apologize to the entire Cubs organization for my comments on twitter .
  11. I was just figuring he was referring to some obscure 28-year-old white OF playing in the Dominican league that deserves a flier as a 4th OF.
  12. Today we see if anyone besides a Cub pitcher can get a hit the first time through the lineup for the first time in a week. Baby steps.
  13. Why did I think today was the 11th? Damn, another entire day to worry about ways to blow the chance to put the qualification away.
  14. Big three points tonight (and three more next week) to put some distance between the top and bottom of the hex. First place currently 7 points (Costa Rica, US, Mexico) with Panama at 6 points and Honduras at 4. I expect Honduras to win tonight (effectively burying Jamaica at 6th), so 5th place isn't so far away with a slip up. One of USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama won't make it, and right now Panama and Honduras seem to be in the worst shape overall based on road performance and schedule to this point.
  15. Baseball, more so than any other sport, should never have draft grades for teams immediately after the draft. Makes no sense to draft for need, 90% of the draftees will never see an MLB field, and 90% of those won't see the field for 3 years. An actual semi-useful grading would be something like analyzing a team's 2008 draft this year.
  16. And...exhale.
  17. Looked like he was initially going to pass it forward, saw a US player (Dempsey?) in his line, then was going to pick up the ball, realized he couldn't, and ran out of time to do anything else.
  18. Never go full meatball.
  19. You're overreacting. Is he or is he not worthless right now? He brings NOTHING. You're right, you're overreacting badly.

    Week 10

    Alonso finally to the DL, so I can pick up another 1B, so I picked up LaRoche. Question: can I insert him right away, or do I need to wait for the week (I have fill-ins right now)?
  21. When the alternatives are Borbon or DeJesus, there isn't much to lose.
  22. Once again, Aramis fan pops in to spew crap about Barney, Garza, and all the good vibes being gone, and then disappears as soon as things turn around.
