    I think CB blew at least 4 strike three calls in the game, one on a Phillie and then 3 on the Cubs, Wisdom being the last one. He's hilariously bad

    I've said for a while that if the NBA wants to stop the superteam thing (and there's little indication they do), the easiest possible thing would be to dump max contracts. Anthony Davis might not be engineering his way to LA if they're paying LeBron $80M a year or whatever and don't have the cap room to give him as much as 15 small-market teams who would all happily pay him more than the current max.

    10 extra-inning losses

    Looks like another loss under the BS fake runner rule

    Brett’s article on BN indicates there were no deferrals included in the offer. Sounds like the contract was very backloaded, however. So not quite deferrals, but the closest thing to it.

    I haven't watched a ton of Cubs lately but this is like the 3rd or 4th game in a row I've turned on just before they lose the lead and never score again.

    We should have traded for Verlander but for various, um, reasons, I have reason to doubt that Verlander would have been as successful with us - or for anyone - as he has been for Houston.

    We wasted Craig Kimbrel on a desperate pursuit for a good contact hitter when we already had one

    Their version of our Wrigleyville uniforms. The vast majority of them, like San Diego's, are at best unnecessary and at worst an affront to good taste

    Oh good a Sutcliffe game

    Corral in 2023. A nonzero part of this deal is that Corral can spend the year developing rather than get tossed to the wolves if Darnold had started and gotten hurt (as he did last year).
  14. Andy
    Well, he's better than Darnold and cost almost nothing, so OK.

    I was really hoping Big Ten would grab at least 2 more west coast schools. Looks like Stanford and Cal would be the 2 more likely options at this point. Poor Washington State and Oregon State No idea whatsoever how much to believe but the rumblings I was seeing was that the B1G basically told Oregon and Washington they'd have to wait on ND because they wouldn't up the per school takes for everyone else. UO and UW must not have been getting good vibes on how that would go.

    BTW, why the hell is Jeff Garlin's stupid ass still being invited to the booth? I thought we'd be done with his crap after he was kicked off The Goldbergs for misconduct but for some insane reason he was polluting Pat and Ron for an entire inning yesterday.

    As someone mentioned in the comments, whatever you think of Wrigley Field, good or bad, it's just ridiculous to call it "stock standard".

    And Leandro Bolmaro. Feels like not much of anything. ETA: Take it back, Woj now saying it's 4 first-round picks. That's freakin crazy.

    North Carolina and Georgia Tech were rumored B1G targets before the ACC signed their grant-of-rights several years ago. I have no idea if they still would be. I think Miami would make sense for the SEC and UVA seems like a cultural fit in the B1G (if that matters anymore).

    I'm sure it can all be figured out but I thought ND was pretty much locked into the ACC if they join a conference. Plus they almost certainly will not join a conference unless absolutely forced too. And if they did join a conference they seem to have little appetite to join the Big Ten despite multiple reasons it makes a lot of sense. ESPN's Heather Dinich tweeted yesterday that unlike full ACC members, ND would only have to pay up to get out of the media grant-of-rights for non-football sports. As for the 'locked into' thing, that's my understanding too, but if other ACC schools start bolting, which they will, I think that provision would be pretty easy to get out of. I'm on record here as pretty much loathing ND in really any conference and specifically the B1G, but if these two superleagues are going to coalesce (and in the process largely lock everyone else out of the playoff) and their mutant forms aren't going to bear much resemblance to what the original idea of a conference was anyway, the Big 20 makes more sense for ND than the SEACC.

    And now the P12 is trying to find teams.
  22. Andy
    They'll add Mountain Time teams before long. Utah probably makes some kind of sense. Maybe Colorado. I don't know. Who cares anymore
  23. Andy
    Probably went without saying but:
  24. Andy
    Never forget that Notre Dame is the greedy ones, though, not the mega conferences just adding whatever schools they want for no reason other than to Hoover up more money. I'm guessing this ends with whatever you call the SEC and B1G just taking the rest of the programs they want (Clemson, FSU, et al to SEC, Oregon, etc. to B1G) and walling themselves off from everybody else, and yes, ND will have to join one of them, presumably the latter as much as I hate that.
  25. Andy
    So you did this
