  1. Always nice to see 10 minutes of soccer in a half. Honduras desperate to drain time.
  2. Cubs have now swept the Mets, Dodgers and Padres this year, all teams currently in playoff posi5.
  3. Cubs now 9-1 against NL teams currently in playoff position.
  4. Possibly the worst defensive play in MLB history by the 1B, as there are 2 outs! Step on first and the run doesn't count, even if Contreras somehow scores before you touch it!
  5. USMNT May training roster: [tweet] [/tweet] Pulisic and Steffen, obviously, are in the UCL final that day.
  6. Just cancel horse racing all together. Nothing good comes of it.
  7. I thought this was great, but here's "The Athletic"'s live NFL draft podcast with Robert Mays, an unabashed lifelong Bears fan (and solid NFL analyst), and how he breaks from script when the Bears trade up: [tweet] [/tweet]
  8. I can't wait until Tony LaRussa signs him to be the runner on second in extra inning games going forward.
  9. And of course Werner scores to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead at the half.
  10. Hazard was almost invisible in yesterday's game, to the point where I had forgotten he was on RM. I wonder if Hazard has CP posters in his room to aspire to now.
  11. It looks like the answer to "Why is the Cubs lineup suddenly unable to hit fastballs?" is "Because 12 games is a small sample size."
  12. Cubs have now scored 89 runs on the year, good enough for 4th in the NL behind Cincy, LA and Arizona.
  13. Contreras and Hendricks: 0-5, 4K Rest of team: 10-12, 10 R, .867/1.833/2.700
  14. Cubs quietly 3 runs from having the 4th highest runs scored in the NL.
  15. I think the Super League owners grossly underestimated how angry their own fanbases would be about this. I'm sure they figured the smaller clubs and fanbases would complain, but completely had no idea how unpopular it'd be among their own fans.
  16. I wouldn't hate a theoretical Club Super League if if were a replacement league, as long as they made the following changes: - No double dipping, just play in the Super League for that season, cut down on the overall number of games. - No automatic place in the league for rich clubs. Federations with multiple teams have to at least have their worst club at risk of relegation each year, and teams that win their respective national leagues can earn their way into the Super League. - Allow teams from any federation in UEFA to at least try to earn their way into the league through playoffs, similar to how the UCL playoffs function now. Maybe even have a tier-2 Super League or default to Champions League for teams that fail to qualify for the Super League, so those teams still have something to compete for during the season. - 4 automatic spots in the league is too many for any one federation, even if it's a top tier federation. Should be 2 at most, maybe even just the top team in each federation gets an automatic spot in the league?
  17. CCL 2nd round matchups (team listed 2nd gets 2nd leg): America-Portland Atlanta-Philadelphia Toronto-Cruz Azul Columbus-Monterrey
  18. Solid MLS showing in the CCL first round, with Atlanta and Portland advancing, Toronto beating a Liga team, and Philly well on their way to advancing, with Columbus playing tomorrow with a huge lead.
  19. It's the octagon this year. Also, thanks to CONCACAF, half of those fouls are probably going to be called on CP.
  20. Chelsea through to the UCL semis, Pulisic played all 90 and dominated the ball, keeping Porto from mounting much of a challenge until the very end, when they were able to pull one back at 90+4.
  21. I was not expecting a game that Gonzaga would never really be in. It was 9-0 and then effectively never got any closer.
  22. The Cubs are 1-0 against pitchers named Anderson so far this year.
  23. I don't see the point of Zardes on the squad in 2 years, he doesn't bring much of anything to the table they couldn't get in almost any other candidate.
