Or they need to pass STL.

This is why we need to pass the Pirates.

Thought's crossed my mind too. With expanded rosters, probably not necessary though.

Man, it is really hard to be confident about the playoffs when we have Hammel's seemingly likely suckage in one spot and Hendricks' being an idiotic strike zone at home plate away from a possible disaster in another.

Hammel is a dumpster fire today.

ND is probably going down, but the more I think about it the less worried I am about DeShone Kizer at QB (the guy has a lot of talent - offers from Alabama and several other elite programs - and has only 3 fewer starts than Malik Zaire). ND will lose this week because of the defense I think. I'll be at the game so I hope I'm wrong.

Hahaha A+

I was Mr. Root for Pittsburgh but let's see if we can beat them and pick up more ground on STL in the process before we completely give up on the division

Next time I propose not walking shitty Erik Kratz

It's yet again going to be impossible to honestly evaluate Brian Kelly because he's dealt with so much injury and ineligibility [expletive] the last 3 years

Pretty much everyone in the SEC struggled with their tomato cans except Ball State's opponent. Boo.

At least DeShone Kizer will have that nice memory when Georgia Tech beats ND by 30 next week. Seriously, what a throw.

Probably broken, so the season is essentially over. UVA can go ahead and score the next 50 points, it won't matter.

That was so horrible. Their kicker already showed he had the leg to make a 50+ yarder. You've got a timeout. So weak.

3 and out and a horrible punt, Auburn will have a good chance to tie

Jax State recovers a fumble! 3 minutes left!

Jax State TD!

Unfortunately it looks like Jacksonville State is going to lose. Tossed up a silly pick into double coverage in the end zone and Auburn is moving, up 13-10.

I think he gets fooled more now than he used to on long fly balls, and while he's still very funny, when he was with Ron he was hilarious. Still very solid just not ELITE anymore.

I don't think people dislike Pat. On the contrary, it's a bummer that he seems to have lost his fastball. He was one of the best for a very long time.

That was a really nice swing by Rizzo even if it didn't result in anything. Love those two-out rallies.

So for Big Ten night, do they even bother with Maryland and Rutgers beanies? They can't possibly be planning on more than a few dozen of those.

I'd start Bradford in both. Eagles QB is always a good bet.

You mean......? That's right. 1,822.
