    So the Clippers lost to the Rockets today which brings up an interesting scenario. Denver is now the 3 seed as they have the tiebreaker over the Clippers. Portland is the 6 seed and a 1/2 game up on the Lakers and they have the tiebreaker. However, Denver plays Portland in the final game for both teams. So if Denver wins, they'd get the 3 seed but they could relegate the Blazers to 7 which means Denver would draw the Lakers in the 1st round. Lakers do play Indiana who is fighting for the 8 seed still so it's no guarantee the Lakers win. But if Denver loses, they'll probably get the 4 seed and draw the Mavs (Clips play the Thunder in their last game). Don't know how Denver matches up with Utah vs Phoenix either. Maybe they'd prefer one over the other if they can win their 1st round series.

    I feel like the Cubs did a good thing in Cleveland a few years ago but I can’t quite remember what. Can anyone help me out?

    Like hell you will be, that spot's mine! Not anymore!

    It was extremely impressive, especially considering coming off the bench. I fully expected him to flail at either the 1-2 slider or the 2-2 high fastball and he laid off both. The 2-2 high fastball I definitely couldn’t believe he laid off.

    The whole “Dodgers are going to win 116 games” discussion both before the season and 15-20 games in was so stupid. Not to take anything away from the Dodgers because they’re a really good team that will probably win 100, but there’s a reason only two teams have won 116 games. It’s like when a team in the NFL looks awful and starts out 0-6. It’s not enough to just be really good/bad to set a wins/loss record. You’ve got to get lucky/unlucky also. The 2016 Cubs played at a 113 win pace for 141 games but had that weird 5-15 stretch. The Warriors first year with KD were better than they were the year before when they won 73 games but the KD team *only* won 67 games.

    This inning is stupid.

    Rizzo!

    Perfect game alert in Seattle through 8. EDIT: At bat app lied to me. Was actually a no hitter. Only batter reached on a dropped third strike.

    Yeah, I heard that one live and cringed. Good to see it didn’t go unnoticed.

    He hasn't yet. Didn't start either game today. Wildly uneducated guess is he'll be back in the lineup within a day or two, otherwise they would've IL'd him as well. Knowing our medical staff, he’ll be out the next 3-4 days also, then they’ll IL him and he’ll miss 3 weeks.

    Cue Cubs losing three of the next four.

    KB should try to steal home. Would probably be put best chance of scoring.
  13. soccer10k
    Almost at the bottom!

    Last couple weeks could be interesting in the race for the top 4. Chelsea plays at City, vs Ars, vs Lei, at Villa but they’ve also got the UCL 2nd leg and the FA Cup final so they play each midweek and weekend the next three weeks. Leicester has vs New, at ManU, at Che, vs Tot plus the FA Cup final. Meanwhile, Liverpool, West Ham and Spurs all have much easier run ins and no extra games outside of the league.

    By lollygagging around 2nd. Christ it's not like Castellanos flubbing the ball is some miraculous occurrence. And not getting a good jump when the ball was hit. Good jump means he probably doesn’t even stop going around second.

    Lot easier to deal with if you don't watch. Working great for me this year!
  17. soccer10k
    lol - oh yeah. that's why not to check on facebook. got it. Explanation for someone who doesn’t go in the Bears threads (I assume that’s where it happened)?

    And another twist with Barcelona losing at home to Granada. Barcelona still controls their own destiny but their game against Atletico next weekend is probably a must win. They obviously can’t lose that one now and while a draw wouldn’t be the worst result, they’d no longer control their own destiny. Actually, they don't control any more because if they finish level with RM, they lose the tiebreaker. I expect all teams to drop more points. How the hell do you lose with 82% possession? Well never mind then. I just thought it was off goal differential like the EPL.

    Barcelona and Atletico still play as do Sevilla and Real Madrid. France appears to be a good race also. Lille came from 2-0 down on the road to beat 4th place Lyon over the weekend. yes, nice to see a race in France for once. Either Barca or Athletico can win out to win the league though the draw in the head to head now favors Barcelona. RM will be focused on CL And another twist with Barcelona losing at home to Granada.

    And right on cue, The Athletic has released a report today saying that a 12-team CFP with 4 byes is gaining support. So theoretically a team could end up playing as many games as an NFL team does (in the regular season at least). 12 regular season games, conf title game and potential 4 playoff games if they don’t get a bye. So stupid.

    Solid meltdown from PSG. Played pretty well in the 1st had and was up 1-0. Then in the second half they let a FK go through the wall and get a red card a few minutes later. Now they’re down 2-1 at home.

    And I’m not even sure which incident you’re referring to! Newcastle goal gets disallowed because a player has arms or West Ham player gets sent off for clearing a ball.

    Just like every other sport, the people in charge don't give a horsefeathers about the health of the players.
