  1. I seem to remember an instance of Dusty with Cincy leaving a pitcher in to throw a ton of pitches in the first two innings and the guy either got hurt within a couple starts or his performance just plummeted immediately after. That was Harang, right? His career was basically over after that. Found it. You were correct. It was Harang in 2008. Starts on May 22 and throws 103 pitches. May 25 game goes extra innings and Dusty brings him in to throw 63 pitches. ERA was 3.32 after that day. May 29 they start him again and he throws 73 pitches in 4 innings and got roughed up. Rest of the season he had a 5.88 ERA and went on the DL in July. 05 through 07 he had a sub 4 ERA all three years. 08, 09 and 10 he was over 4 with two of the years over 4.75. He was fine in 11, 12 and 14 though with sub-4’s.

  3. If Jose was still the manager he’d definitely claim it just like he was bragging about winning a Treble with ManU when the three trophies were the Europa League, League Cup or Community shield. As for Spurs, never forget the massive 2018 International Champions Cup title!
  4. Steph has made at least 10 3's in four of his last five games. Only one other player has at least four game in their entire career with at least 10 3's made (Klay with 5).
  5. I mean, based on the last few years, it’s Arsenal that is the Laettner of the group. But Phillips is probably an Arsenal fan and didn’t want to insult his own shitty team. Actually, that’s not true. Arsenal is actually Larry Bird. Best years are long in the past, shadow of what they once were, don’t actually help out anymore but people still think they’re important based on name only and not do to any actual ability or usefulness.
  6. why get rid of him right after he led them to qualification for the super league?!??!? I take it back. LONG LIVE THE SUPER LEAGUE!
  7. Javy's going to regret that for the rest of his life.
  8. The downside of not paying attention to the Cubs is missing fun games like Saturday. The upside of not paying attention to the Cubs is not watching the far more frequent games like Sunday.
  9. Yep. I’d be pretty much out on both Spurs and European soccer if this happens. For Spurs, there’s already a slim chance of them winning any major trophy (I don’t count the League Cup, FA Cup probably qualifies). I’m not in the trophies or bust camp anyway but at least the last few years they won more than they lost, we’re regulars in the UCL and had tons of great moments. In this league, they’d be a mid-table side at best with no chance of ever catching those top 7 or so teams. So now they’re not winning anything and at best, winning as often as they lose? I’m out. I get the club would do it for the money but that means jack horsefeathers to me. As for Euro soccer, part of what makes the UCL fun is seeing random matchups between the big teams you don’t get to see every year. But Bayern-Real (or insert whatever big clubs you want) loses a lot of luster to me if they play twice a year. I hate every part of this.
  10. Italy was even close for a while but Inter has pulled away.
  11. Jose starting a lineup with 5 defenders and two more guys who lack offensive abilities. I hate him so much.
  12. Cubs are now 30th as a team in BA/OBP/SLG. Currently at a .561 OPS. The gap between the Cubs and 29th is the same as the gap between 29th and 9th.
  13. Can both teams lose the Chelsea-Real tie?
  14. Cubs have scored 32 runs in 12 games. The only teams with fewer runs are the Nationals (31) and the Mets (29) but they've only played 9 and 8 games, respectively.
  15. Rodon perfect through 8.
  16. Will the Cubs score 6 runs in a game this year? 1. No 2. horsefeathers no 3. LOL 4. Yes but only in Colorado or in Wrigley with a 20 mph wind blowing out and with extra innings 5. Yes but only when they get relegated to AA in July
  17. Jamal Murray tore his ACL. Tough luck for Denver. Probably torpedoes their chances next season also because of how late in the season it is.
  18. 2018 was fun for 5 months until the Brewers went nuts in September. They won 95 games though. That’s a fun team. The rest I agree with. 2017 was a slog outside of the last 2 months or so. Of course, it did have the benefit of clinching the division on one day in St Louis and then, IIRC, knocking the Cards out of the playoffs the next day.
  19. Cubs hitting .167/.265/.327/.592 right now. BA and OBP are 30th, SLG is 28th and OPS is 29th. Cincy scored 30 runs in 3 games against Pittsburgh. Cubs have 26 total runs in 9 games.
  20. This game out scored that awful UConn-Butler title game (53-41) with 18 minutes left.
  21. Castellanos gets two games for “instigating a benches-clearing incident” but the pitcher who threw at Castellanos gets nothing. horsefeathers off, Manfred.
  22. Rickettses got a good deal on the shorter padding and didn’t want to shell out the extra money.
