  1. Up until 2.5 years ago, that game was by far my favorite Cubs moment. I can never get enough of watching that game.
  2. Put that man on my team
  3. As someone who plays in a Wiffle league that is "gentleman's speed", I have no idea how anyone could hit those pitches.
  4. I wonder if this will be the beginning of the end of traditional 9th inning closers. I can see there being a number of times where a reliever comes in with one or two outs in the eighth and has to start the 9th. Might lead to more managers using their best relievers in more high leverage spots. I mean, this already is kind of happening, but it might speed the process along.
  5. Yep. The companies making money from the Dodger deal (outside of the Dodgers) are the vpn guys. Most LA fans I know out here just use that with the MLB stream. That's probably the path I'm going to take so I'm not funding Sinclair. Will probably be the final straw in me cutting the cord too.
  6. God the Vikings suck so bad they should just let them score 2 TDS uncontested and then just take knees every down.
  7. Refs missed the obvious 4th down call will cost us 3 points. They should make the kicking unit start on the sidelines when they restart.
  8. Hey man, there's a giant cow in Australia and every time it farts it warms the planet one degree. It's a scientific fact. There's just nothing we can do about global warming, so we might as well spend all our time and money building a wall to keep all the giant cows out of America.
  9. That 3 seed looking somewhat important now, as a Vikings - Rams path is looking way easier than a Seahawks - Saints path.
  10. It's weird we live like 5 minutes from each other and grew up in the same town. Palatine or Fremd? Ha that’s crazy. Fremd but I moved to NH after my sophomore year so didn’t graduate there Ah, you grew up on the good side of the tracks.

  12. Give me a spinach and garlic or a jalepeno/giardinera and sausage pizza and I'll eat it no matter who makes it.
  13. As a non partial observer, that pylon cam appeared to show the football going directly over the pylon. And though I don't know the rule exactly, if it's a touchdown when the ball hits the pylon, then I would say that's a touch back since it appeared to go over the pylon.
  14. same Edit: actually I forgot it was my work iPhone that had the problem, not my pixel
  15. Plus, if you give it to a kid, theres like a greater than 50 percent chance you are getting a free beer out of it (which i got when I caught and gave my kosuke fukodome foul ball to a kid).
  16. You shouldn't give it to the kid to "avoid the situation," you should give it to the kid because that was clearly who was supposed to get it. I assume he's just talking about a foul ball, which still, I would give it to a random kid unless my kid was there.
  17. It's the home run derby. Cheat all you want if it means more majestic dongs.
  18. I get to play my final regular season Wiffle series this year in 90+ degree heat. And that series is basically meaningless as we are essentially already locked in to our playoff matchup.
  19. https://deadspin-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/deadspin.com/extremely-online-baseball-knowers-go-to-war-over-games-1826657358/amp?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAE4AQ%3D%3D#referrer=https://www.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fdeadspin.com%2Fextremely-online-baseball-knowers-go-to-war-over-games-1826657358
  20. But the course wasn't the same for everyone. The first people that teed off shot like -6, and as the course dried out, the scores went up dramatically.
  21. The world cup is the best. What a goal.
  22. About 4 years ago, after visiting my grandparents, my wife and I decided to spend the weekend in downtown Phoenix. We were unaware how dead it was. We honestly thought something was wrong when on a Friday night there was quite literally no one around. We could walk down the middle of the main streets without even the chance of getting hit by a car. There were some cool bars though.
