    Germany just tied with Turkey so maybe friendlies aren't really meaningful They aren’t, but Löw wasn’t happy during the postgame interview on German tv You act as if Low is capable of emotion. He isn't.

    The Netherlands do, it seems. They just lost to Mexico at home. Germany just tied with Turkey so maybe friendlies aren't really meaningful

    We are too pathetic a country to be able to handle the logistics/quarantining/visas of international competition. Mexico is playing The Netherlands in Amsterdam today (and leading 0-1 with 15’ left) - not sure why the USMNT isn’t playing a game somewhere. they're ready for the world cup. No practice needed. You may start to see a trickle of news that the US government is currently completely incompetent.

    This sounds similar to a problem I have been having - when I pull left, my irons go like 20% farther. And short on everything straight. I ultimately concluded that I had a serious out to in swing and further that I was too close to the ball to swing in to out or in-line. I've been working on it and the difference is amazing - I backed up and have been focused on swinging in to out. Only problem is my footwork isn't worked out correctly yet.

    Pretty sure he went to Korea or Japan for a few years and added some velo those padres relievers looked just like cubs relievers. nowhere close to the plate about 70% of the time.

    Is the MNT not playing this break?

    I really like the way Kane is playing - I thought he was over-rated in previous seasons (which isn't to say not good) but he looks very influential these days.

    I wouldn't have bet it but I think LFC had this game coming for a while. As they say in Spain, aye Liga! Speaking of Spain, Jordi Alba limps off in 70th minute and Dest on at LB. Seemed pretty conservative not going forward much but didn't do anything bad. One nice touch to start a move. The announcers were saying Barca is grooming De La Fuente as a left back. So, maybe Richard needs to stay in the middle . . . Sergio Ramos started as an outside back.

    i loved how they spent an entire half inning sucking off yadi, and then went completely silent went pham stole the base the fellating of the cardinals was ridiculous. I don't know how they explain that they lost.
  10. stitchface
    who are the cardinals playing? I can't quite figure it out from the announcers.

    Theo would have to find some other team(s) willing to ignore this years stats while trading 1 or 2 of the core players. I don't think Baez or Rizzo are going anywhere and I'm not sure what Bryant and/or Schwarber would get in return. Contreras/Caratini would bring something of value because of their position. yea, might be better at the deadline and with a new GM. I don't have a ton of confidence in this management team to identify the right prospects and get the best value.

    I think it's rebuild time. Not exactly a hot take but I don't see this group winning another WS so no reason to keep them around. sad day.
  13. stitchface
    Kintzler getting the save will be the final FU

    horsefeathering smoke preventing me from golfing. Is it worth going out in a filtered mask?
  15. stitchface
    yet. though we were for a while after 2003, right? Let's be honest - not much good has happened since the cubs won the WS. We need to reverse that and the next few months is a great time to do that. The Cubs have to do their part.

    or hitting weak flyballs on them
  17. stitchface
    lol. willie is pissed
  18. stitchface
    you forget there is no runner on 2nd in the playoffs.

    It's a thing this year, but I don't think its something theyve been bad at in the past, other than difficulty with velocity. They could feast on 91-95 but when we faced pitchers throwing 97+ we struggled. They’ve been bad at velocity since 2017-2018 when it took off. Especially elevated FBs. Most teams are probably “bad” against velo but the cubs are worse than most. the stat on the broadcast showed cubs at .191 ba (eyeroll) vs 95+ with league at .242

    is the cubs not able to hit fastballs a thing or just bad luck?
  22. stitchface
    I can only get on board with this if they beat both the Dodgers and then the Astros in the process A's sweeping Astros would be better.
  23. stitchface
    Go A's! I hope they stomp the crap out of the Astros!
  24. stitchface
    I prefer Courtois vs Lukaku 8-) as long as Lukaku wins.
  25. stitchface
    or just eliminate both teams. Are you guys too young to hate the Padres? I'll always hate the padres.
