  1. Spain-Switzerland: here’s how not to take penalties. 9 kicks 1 over the bar 1 off the post 3 saved 4 scored
  2. The Ricketts won’t care unless revenue/attendance drops dramatically.
  3. Only other team to blow a 7 run lead this year (teams were 234-1 before today) is the DBacks. I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but the DBacks really, really suck this year.
  4. Aroldis Chapman in the ninth: Walk Ground out Walk Walk Grand slam You hate to see it.
  5. Cubs are only the second team to score 7 runs in the 1st inning and lose by at least 7, joining the 1976 Giants. Only three teams in the last 40 years led by 7 in a game and lost by more than the 8 runs the Cubs lost by today. Cubs also had a franchise worst .1875 BA for a single month. Even their awful April they hit .216.
  6. If your 4 hitter is going so poorly that he gets double switched out of the game, he probably shouldn’t be your 4 hitter.
  7. Since June 13, the Cubs have scored 36 runs in 16 games. Since June 13, Schwarber has driven in 26 runs in 16 games.
  8. Yeah, it definitely wasn’t intentional but it doesn’t have to be intentional to be dangerous play and a red card. Mane got a red a couple years ago for kicking Ederson in the face going for the ball.
  9. Most European final appearances from these four teams is the Czech’s with 2. They’ve got 1 title (as Czechoslovakia) and Denmark has 1 as well.
  10. Ahead 1-2, walks batter Ahead 1-2, walks batter Ahead 1-2, double to dead center Wonderful.
  11. I think you answered your own question!
  12. 3-1 is the most dangerous lead in soccer today apparently.
  13. So what’s the purpose of eliminating the away goals rule? As far as I can tell, there’s very little positive benefit. You’re likely to get less exciting 2nd legs because any score that ties the aggregate will lead to extra time rather than just the exact score of the first leg. So if the 1st leg is 1-0 and the second leg is 2-1, in the past, the home team would really have to go for it. Now both teams are going to be more cautious. It’s going to lead to more games going to extra time and therefore more games going to penalties, and anything that leads to more games going to shootouts is a bad thing. If they got rid of the away goals rule if a game goes to extra time, so if both legs end with the same score, that I might be okay with. But I just don’t see any notable positives to this but major negatives.
  14. by my calculations that was already guaranteed Mets: 4-3 Padres: 5-1 Dodgers: 4-0 13-4, worst case scenario is 13-7 I assume he meant each of the teams individually. Cubs were 3-0 against LA before yesterday with 4 games left.
  15. Should probably bench him for not having knowing the game situation.
  16. Pujols in particular looked way overmatched.
  17. You good? Long day, typed that w/o my glasses and it must have autocorrected before I hit reply On the contrary, it seems like you had a couple too many glasses. Or maybe the perfect amount!
  18. The pitchers who are complaining about being checked after every inning, I agree that they’re just complaining over nothing. But what Girardi did was absurd and he’s a horsefeathering moron.
  19. I had the same thought about there not being a better view. There was another replay late there they kept showing the zoomed out view and I was wondering why they weren’t showing a better view.
  20. Top half of the draw is rough. Two best teams (or at least two of the top 3) in the bottom half playing each other in the R16.
  21. That’s a great final play from Phoenix.
  22. Sounds like Ross only yanked Javy because he lost track of the outs which makes me dislike him even more. If it was a pattern of behavior that would be different but this seems like Ross overreacting to one mistake when the team is struggling.
  23. First time since 1994 that neither 1 seed made the conference finals.
  24. …and Ross booted him out of the game Cleveland immediately gets an infield hit on a play Javy would've easily made. Today's going great How many times has Rizzo been yanked after the 2500 Tootblan’s he’s had over the last couple years?
