  1. looks like the squeaky wheel got his grease.
  2. I prefer users who created their account in the 9th innings of an 8-4 loss. Those are the die hard contributors.
  3. Maybe they shouldn't cut the B10 out of their schedule. The best B1G team they play asked out of the 2014-15 games so they could play Oregon. And I don't think ND anticipated Michigan was going to fall ass over tea-kettle into one of the top 10 coaches in the whole sport. ND should know a thing or two about how blue blood football teams don't stay down forever. I didn't mean to say UM would be down forever, just that I don't think anyone expected they'd luck into Jim Harbaugh and turn things around basically instantaneously. And that post is somewhat ironic considering ND has been good exactly 3 times in my 20 or so years following the team, and that's charitably including 2006, a year in which every good team they played slaughtered them. As far as I'm concerned, they have been down forever. I wasn't talking about ND I was talking about blue blood football programs. ND should have familiarity with them since they used to play quite a few.

  5. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/molina-is-ready-to-go/article_b2666e99-a3f7-5c5f-8530-dc75b159e7a3.html Sounds like a savvy vet trying to goad the Cubs into some bad sends.
  6. Why allow them a series win?
  7. Gotta love that east coast bias. Damn right. A little after 5 PM is a great time to start a game. it's a terrible time in october for shadowy reasons By 5:30 October 9, the entire field will be in shadow game 2 starts at 4:30 local time, games 3-5 potentially start at 3:30
  8. The Cubs actually have a higher local ratings, but the population difference is way too enormous to overcome. A Cubs world series probably out rates a Mets world series but this is only a division series and the ratings will depend heavily on local market, not average joes.
  9. Do you have any sort of source for this? Because I can't find [expletive]. I googled the ratings and it said ~260,000 households for Mets this year, just below Yankees at 275ish. espn article the other day posted cubs at 112,000 households or was sofa said
  10. You're a smart guy David. You know this has zero to do with who's the better team/matchup, and everything to do with media markets. And I understand that the Cubs in the playoffs trump that. Even for ratings, it would be a bad decision, which is precisely why I'll shocked and disgusted. something tells me they know more about this than you do It's the [expletive] Mets. If it were the Yankees, I'd agree. They're like a rich man's version of the White Sox. The fact that it's both those markets is the only reason it's even close. The White Sox are a terrible comparison. The Mets are huge here. They play second fiddle to an absurdly successful Yankees team but they are by no means an afterthought. They basically get twice as many viewers than Cubs games, due to the size of the market. The Cubs are a great story and Cubs/Cardinals is big but Mets/Dodgers is enormous.

  12. I believe it was highest rated on TBS but the ESPN game the day before had a higher rating 5.7 to 5.5

  14. twitter account suspended
  15. NY vs LA, man. seriously, this would not be a surprise. they are going to be very hesitant to air Dodgers games at lunchtime locally and they know most cardinals fans need to be saying their prayers before bed by the time the night game has its first pitch.
  16. hope they ask Beth Murphy for permission to play another night game.
  17. http://dkpittsburghsports.com/ It was always a flawed argument that the Pirates had no recourse against Madison Bumgarner in last year’s National League Wild Card. Maybe, just maybe, if Edinson Volquez had kept it close, that game plays out in a different way. It’s a lot to ask a pitcher to throw six or seven scoreless, but that was what it took to have a chance. This year, Gerrit Cole didn’t have what it took, either. That fact lingered longest after a venue-record 40,889 had filed out of PNC Park on Wednesday night, mourning a 4-0 loss to the Cubs. The Pirates lined up their 25-year-old Brahma bull for just this scenario weeks in advance, but Cole was off right from the start, eventually departing after five erratic innings and the Pirates down four to Cy Young Award favorite Jake Arrieta. “It burns,” Cole said after the third-shortest start of an otherwise outstanding year. “It stings. It sucks. All the negative things you could come up with. Runs are at a premium in a game like this, so you know you have to keep them at bay. I did my best. I just wasn’t good enough.”
  18. Better news: the games have already been played there. #timezonehumor #internationaldatelinejokes
