Yes and yes

Is the NLDS clincher on there? The ad I saw for the 8-disc set just mentioned the WS games plus the pennant clincher.

I was able to dig up a phone number for them and they said they'd ship out another one and to just return the original one if it arrived. We'll see what happens I suppose.

Is there an effective way to harass the MLB Shop people about something not arriving? The last thing to ship (a 12M size t-shirt for my son, who thankfully can't fit in it yet anyway) is stuck in FedEx hell somewhere. The tracking info I got is apparently wrong because it's not where the tracker says it is. When I e-mailed to ask for some help, including specifically mentioning the tracking info is wrong, they just replied saying here is your tracking number, it's on the way.

Aren't you gonna get USC in the Rose Bowl? That's a pretty marquee game It is, but I think there's something to the idea of the two remaining champs playing each other. USC is a good game, but they have 3 losses and didn't even play in their title game There's a decent argument to be made that USC is the best team not in the playoff the way they have played the last 8 games. "They didn't play in their title game" is a line I would love to see vaporized.

Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but I believe there was a moment after the NLDS series win where you could see Heyward embracing Baez in the locker room and telling him something. No, there was definitely a Lester/Baez moment during an on-field postgame interview. I think it was the NLCS, may have been the World Series.

No 20-Cub All-Star Game fellas

Conference title game upsets and (more to the point) the Group of 5 auto-bid are why you will never get the best 8. I probably did a poor job of phrasing it, but Power 5 champions without conference title games would always be in the top 8 because there would be no title game upsets to knock things off kilter.

No I think that changed but I could be wrong. They were talking about how if Michigan was selected for the Rose Bowl and Colorado was the Pac 12 champ but didn't make the playoff, they might switch out Colorado so there wouldn't be a rematch. Either way, if for some reason the Rose Bowl selected Michigan over Penn State, PSU would almost certainly be selected for the Orange Bowl and play Florida State or Louisville instead of playing Washington, Colorado or USC. I'm hearing speculation that PSU would play W. Michigan in a bowl (puke) That must only be if PSU loses. Even if UMF is right and the Rose could pick Michigan over a B1G champ Penn State, the Nittany Lions would be locked into the Orange as the highest-ranked SEC/B1G team available.

We have this argument every year. You could sell me on 8 if there were 2 conditions: 1) Straight 1-8. No guaranteed conference champs. Any Power 5 champ is going to be in the Top 8 anyway, especially because my 2nd condition is: 2) Get rid of conference title games (and divisions while we're at it). 15 games is already too many for as-yet-unpaid college kids. 16 is patently ridiculous. And in an 8-team playoff, all they'd serve to do is potentially put a mediocre division champ in the playoff, unlikely as it is. The thing is, they're never going to 8 without automatic bids for the P5 and a Group of 5 auto-bid, and they're probably never dumping conference title games, so you're never getting the best 8.

Isn't the B1G champion locked into the Rose if they don't make the playoff? I know normally those slots go to 'highest ranked team outside the playoff', but I think that's under the assumption that the champ is in the playoff.

Especially if it's Wisconsin, who played UM very close on the road. Penn State would be a harder sell because of 49-10.

That was it. Originally the Tweet wasn't protected.

I honestly wouldn't give a rat's ass if Tillery were thrown off the team. Both those actions were utterly inexcusable and dirty as hell. At the same time, they're not going to fire a coach that went 4-8 against the worst schedule in school history and is now actively trying to leave, so why should I give a horsefeathers about anything

Seems appropriate to quote this after last night's game. What a heartbreaker for them...inbound the ball successfully and maybe hit some FTs and that game is won by NU If they can shoot 75% from 3 for large chunks of more halves they'll be a pretty tough out.

Hey look, now ND's 2012 and '13 seasons no longer count because a student trainer helped ND players cheat for a while during those seasons. Setting aside how funny it is that the NCAA moved on this while UNC still hasn't been hit for basically running entire fake majors for football and basketball players, that means Kelly is now averaging over 5 losses per season at ND in the 5 that actually count in the record books. And yet he may still not be fired.

I never actually root for my team to lose, but given that I know Notre Dame is going to get blasted to kingdom come by USC anyway, they need to make it as pathetic as possible and force Swarbrick's hand.

If they make replicas, is that what Brian Matusz will get? Joel Peralta is offended that you thought of Matusz first.

Washington is going to lose again, whether to Wazzu or to Colorado/USC. At that point the winner of the Wisconsin/Penn State game is in, as well as the winner of the Michigan/OSU game. Then Clemson and Bama. Pretty cut and dried. If Washington manages not to lose, then the Big Ten champ probably gets the shaft (although the Penn St/Ohio St thing would be fascinating for the committee to navigate). Not a ton of controversy in Scenario A. Scenario B would be interesting but ultimately I think you can forgive a 3-point road loss in head to head when the losing team has shown itself to be better in the other 11 games.

nope that's west side rooter. i don't remember what his name was before that isnt murtonfan now rondonfan? You're thinking of Aramis Fan

What in the name of crap is going on with Louisville??
