    That's just the pace these guys have come out with, similar enough thinking got the Brewers a division title this past June :dontknow: Your troll attempts are quite pathetic.
  2. soccer10k
    No one's weighing the wins so still I. Even a team as mighty as the Brewers may struggle to outpace .666 ball in the second half I wasn’t aware we get to play the worst team in the majors every game the rest of the way.

    I love how, in addition to Walker, the catcher and third baseman don’t go for the ball either. The third baseman just stands there like there’s nothing for him to do other than watch the play. The catcher at first points to the dugout for a review and then points to the second runner coming home for some reason.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Longer video. Is this peak LOL Mets? Three runs scoring on a ball that travels 20 feet.
  5. soccer10k
    Mets were up 6-0 going into the bottom of the 8th also.

    Reds just blew a 2 run lead to Milwaukee but it was off Amir Garrett. Not very often I’m annoyed and happy at the same time.

    First win this year when trailing after 8.

    When Boog said the Diamondbacks were 2-52 this year when scoring less than 5 runs, I knew that the Cubs morbid offense could help turn that around for them. They’re also 0-33 this year when scoring 2 runs or fewer.

    That hat looks like it was designed by a 4 year old who is learning how to write their letters and frequently writes them backwards. I can’t wait to see what terrible idea they come up with next.
  10. soccer10k
    Yeah, it’s like they felt bad that Booker was dumb enough to keep contesting shots with 5 fouls. He could have fouled out a couple times. The one on Holliday where Holliday dumped it off to another player (Giannis?) was horrid. I think that was the one with 3:30ish left. Just let him get the two points, dude. Be smarter. If there's 10 seconds left and you're up 1? That's different. But you need to stay in the game.

    Nadal vs Federer for #2 is a good debate. Federer is the more complete player, but Nadal is up 24-16 (10-4 in grand slams) in the head-to-head rivalry. Nadal is up in the H2H in part because after he started winning majors, he wasn't good enough to make the finals on hard court while Roger was waiting in the finals. So if he wasn't good enough to beat random dudes not named Roger Federer on hard court, he wasn't going to beat Roger Federer on hard court. From the 05 US Open through the 08 US Open, there were 6 times they were seeded 1-2 in the bracket and didn't meet in the final. 1 time neither made the final and the other 5, Federer made it but Nadal didn't. So while H2H credits Nadal for having the edge on Federer, it doesn't fault him for losing to far inferior players. On the other hand, Federer lost to Nadal four straight years in the French (semis once, finals three times). It's picking nits, I know, but when you're comparing two all time greats who are pretty evenly matched, that's that you have to do. And if we're talking greatest ever, I prefer the all around player over the more one-dimensional player. Nadal is the best player ever on a single surface and it's not even close. I can't fault anyone for putting Nadal over Federer though. You can make a good case either way.
  12. soccer10k
    Yeah, sheer volume he's going to blow past the other two. Federer's not going to win another one and Nadal couldn't even win the French this year. Hilarious that we spent a decade debating Nadal or Federer as the GOAT and the correct answer was neither. And unless Rafa wins a couple more on non-clay surfaces, he's relegated to #3 for me.

    I think Alonso could stand up there for an hour and if you gave him a 45 second break every 2 minutes, he'd still be hitting 480 foot bombs. Dude just never gets tired.
  14. soccer10k
    You do know he’s injured right? Solid Derwooding right there.

    [tweet] [/tweet] I had a similar thought after watching Italy pretty much dominate the game from the moment England scored until at least early into the first extra time period. Of course, Southgate set up to defend from the start with three central defenders, two wing backs and two defensive midfielders.
  16. soccer10k
    [tweet] [/tweet] Who could have seen this coming besides, well, everybody.
  17. soccer10k
    Didn’t like Southgate bringing Sancho and Rashford on so late just to take PKs. Seems like you’d want to give them a few minutes to run around and get some touches on the ball before taking a PK.
  18. soccer10k
    Switzerland beats France on PK Spain beats Switzerland on PK Italy beats Spain on PK So clearly England going to win in PK. EDIT: or not.
  19. soccer10k
    I can’t speak for Sterling but Kane’s always been a bit of a diver. Never liked that part of his game.
  20. soccer10k
    Hard to blame them when they’ll be getting traded in the next three weeks to teams who actually want to win this year.
  21. soccer10k
    Right knee injury. Got to be a decent chance it’s the ACL. Wish I was wrong. This sucks. [tweet] [/tweet]
  22. soccer10k
    he just knew he couldn't get any more height on his dives . . . Lougainis would have been proud! There was a dive midway through the second half in the penalty box that was pretty shameful. Clearly just looking for the PK and nothing else. But that’s pretty standard for him.
  23. soccer10k
    Well the entirety of Argentina is getting drunk tonight. Glad Messi finally got a trophy for Argentina.
  24. soccer10k
    Cards blow the game open all because the ump can’t properly call a pitch in the zone a strike.

    Let’s go for 9 in 9!
