  1. the question mark really takes the fun out of it.
  2. Oh come on, get over your expert self. No, he isn't wrong. The game is a hell of a lot more complex that people who don't know it or follow it regularly understand. All they see is the disconnect between the hype and the end product. His first touch has been bad. It's a product of fatigue due to the ground he's having to cover combined with pressing. And even with his first touch being bad, he's still completing a high percentages of his passes and breaking up plays. The responsibilities he's being asked to cover are too much for one player, and the fact that he's done an okay job at it speaks volumes for his quality. He had a poor first game, a good 2nd game other than the shot off the line and the miscontrol (and even that doesn't hurt us had the defense not been pushed up far, far higher than they should have been) and everyone looked exhausted yesterday. You aren't responding to anything that was said in these two statements quoted.

  4. you don't pour a caipirinha
  5. damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
  6. Is having your highest OPS in AAA really that much of a game changer? I would think so, especially when you combine it with the fact that Javy is struggling at the same level facing the same pitchers after destroying A and AA last year. I don't really think Javy's situation applies. He's struggling due to his own personal flaws that everybody knew long ago. He's a huge swing and miss guy. But guys produce in AAA. Josh Vitters had a boost in his numbers the first time he went to AAA after a high 700s OPS in AA. It's not an across the board thing, but the league average OPS in the PCL this year is 767, while the league average OPS in AA last year was 683. Having your career best numbers in the PCL doesn't strike me as all that meaningful.
  7. they void them and take away draft picks and fine you and stuff. Are there set criteria or is it subjective? during the last CBA they included an agreement to limit contracts to seven years (8 if player stays with current team) and does something about the year-to-to structure. No clue about the specifics.

  12. +4 extra in both games
  13. portugal 2-1

  15. The US is absolutely getting a red card this game.
  16. somebody is out of jail and the US is terrible at soccer defense
  17. well that was pointless
  18. that zusi shot was much closer on replay than I thought live.
  19. did the US just set a team record for consecutive completed passes?
  20. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--nmqFDGyr--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/785173103046619309.jpg freaking nazis just can't help themselves
  21. Perhaps because the conditions are expected to be poor, they think lack of speed won't be as much of a concern? Maybe they are the guys who remembered their long cleats.
