Well Alderweireld is going to be out a while with a muscle injury so if Spurs are going to break at the back, it’s going to happen now.

I realize that Liverpool and/or Man City could easily rip off a long winning/unbeaten streak to open up a big gap, however... This year seems like it's shaping up to be one of those weird years were 80-85 points wins the title. The last four years there hasn't been a lot of drama (18-19 there was but City/Liverpool were so far ahead). In 16-17, Chelsea went on a huge winning streak early and pretty much led wire to wire. Spurs were close but I don't think they ever got within 6 points. The next year Man City did the same thing. Last year it was Liverpool. This year, injuries have depleted Liverpool's defense while Man City looks off so far. Then you've got the rest of the teams. Chelsea have a bunch of new players and that can take time (some of you have watched Chelsea this year for Pulisic and can give a better evaluation). ManU is still the same mediocre team as they have been for a few years. Ditto for Arsenal. Spurs have looked good so far but we'll know a lot more about them in the next month after they play @Che, Ars, @Cry, @ Liv, Lei. Plus you've got the ongoing Covid plus a full season packed into a month less of time. Hopefully it turns into a good race where 4-5 teams are all close to each other and nobody really pulls away.

Loved the touch of them showing the Cubs with Obama but not Trump.

So, uh, that Germany-Spain score is a bit shocking.

I had a coworker point out that a Cubs reliever got an MVP vote this year and thought for sure it was Jeffress. Nope, it was a dude with an ERA just under 4. And the guy who voted for him is a St Louis writer. There was an article explaining that it was a mistake - he was trying to give Trea Turner a vote Well that makes a lot more sense. Guess by the end he didn’t bother double checking he put down the right player. It is a 10th place vote so not like he mistakenly voted Tepera 1st.

So pretty good chance we end up with a 6 win NFC East champ. Current standings are Philly 3-5-1, NYG, 3-7, Wash 2-7, Dal 2-7. Remaining schedules are: Phi: @ Cle, Sea, @ GB, NO, @ Ari, @ Dal, Wash NYG: @ Cin, @ Sea, Ari, Cle, @ Bal, Dal Wash: Cin, @ Dal, @ Pit, @ SF, Sea, Car, @ Phi Dal: @ Min, Wash, @ Balt, @ Cin, SF, Phi, @ NYG Philly has the best chance of getting to 7 because they've got the extra game but they'll be underdogs in the next five games and they'll have to win two of those (assuming they beat Dal and Wash) just to get to 7. Giants should lose at least 3 of the next 5 which puts them at 10 losses. Wash will lose 3 of the out of division games. Dallas will probably lose three also. That's not factoring in the 4 guaranteed H2H losses in there. The division now is a combined is 2-18-1 outside of the division so far this year.

I'm not clicking the link because I don't want to reward him, but BPs stats thought deGrom and Nola were better than Bauer: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/62195/cy-young-awards-in-2020-the-problem-of-opponent-quality/ So if you're going to say "BP told me to do it" then explain Bauer at #1. Yeah, that was my issue with it. He says he likes using DRA but even though Bauer was worse in the metric than deGrom and Nola, his 1.73 ERA (which he admits is flawed) stood out while Darvish’s 2.01 didn’t. Just illogical. If you’re going to discount Yu for only facing crappy Central teams, you have to do the same with Bauer.

If the receiver gave himself up by going to the ground it's a dead ball and they can call a TO. He caught the ball while going to the ground and the Jets touched him down before he had a chance to either get up or give himself up. It’s the Pats so decent chance the receiver would have known to give himself up.
-
I'll preface this by saying the Jets would have lost in OT anyway but... End of regulation, tie game, Pats have the ball 2nd and 10 from their own 47 with 8 seconds left and they have a time out. They run a play in the middle of the field and the receiver catches the ball while going to the ground without being touched. Rather than just let the time run out, the Jets run to touch the Pats receiver down, thereby allowing the Pats to call a timeout and kick a game winning field goal. No way the Pats receiver gets up and runs out of bounds before the clock runs out. Prior to that, the Jets had the ball up 7 with 6 minutes left but Flacco threw a pick on their first play. Then, after getting the ball back in a tie game with just under two minutes left, the Jets neither ran the clock down enough nor moved the ball, gaining three yards on three plays before punting (they also had a 2nd and 2 but lost 5 yards on the next two plays).

Saints were getting points tonight.

STOP THE COUNT!! I know Leicester already won but i didn’t wake up in time to watch the Spurs match before Leicester ended and still wanted to get this joke in.

[tweet] [/tweet] Spread was Indiana -10.5 or -11 also.

So Arozarena had 29 hits in the playoffs, including 3 doubles, 1 triple and 10 home runs but only 14 RBI. Rays just didn't do enough offensively.
-
Just because he's got no soul doesn't mean he can't get Covid.
-
I wonder what MLB would have done if the Dodgers lost today.
-
Apparently Turner got Covid.
-
Cash just pulled the patented David Ross move of trying to leave his reliever in for a second inning. Big surprise, it didn't work.
-
They did the same thing in the ALCS and Snell wasn’t happy about that one either. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/astros-vs-rays-blake-snell-unhappy-about-quick-hook-in-alcs-game-6-as-move-backfires-for-tampa/

Should have left Snell in.
-
Smoltz just told me the Rays feel like it’s a winnable game now that it’s 2-1 rather than 2-0. In the 4th inning.

Adam Gase is 30-40 as a head coach. 31 of those 40 losses are by double digits (77.5%). So Adam Gase has more losses by 10+ points than he has wins. For a little added context, Hue Jackson went 1-31 over a two year span with the Browns but only lost 19 games (61.3%) by 10+ points.
