    I'm going to preface this by saying in no way at all do I feel bad for City... That being said, the fallout from this could affect them for more than just the two years they're out of the UCL (assuming the ban doesn't get reduced).

    Man City got a two year UCL ban for FFP violations. Have to think Pep is gone after the year now.

    Yep, especially coupled with bringing him in for game 6 in the 7th horsefeathering inning with a 7-2 lead because there were two on with two out AND THEN sending him back out for the 8th inning. Just a slow motion train wreck that Schwarber, Zobrist, etc bailed out. That was what really pissed me off. Chapman had just come off like 40+ pitches and almsot 3 innings in game 5 and he's bringing him into a 5 run game? And then leaves him in for the eighth. And then leaves him in for a batter in the ninth because he waited too long to get someone warmed up after Rizzo homered to make it a 7 run lead.

    My favorite thing (other than the obvious WS stuff) to watch from that run is the comeback in SF. I LOVE the comeback against SF. Javy, Zo, and Willy were so swaggy. Almost certainly my favorite sporting event I've experienced live. I mean, it was really only a great half an hour but it completely erases the largely crap 3 hours before.

    Extremely, six anonymous '17 Astros talked for this one and it made it sound like several players were a little leery of this scheme and Beltran basically ignored them and eventually everyone else followed like sheep because he's a 'respected veteran' or whatever. I’m judging this based solely on your summary, but it sounds like players trying to cover their own asses by throwing Beltran under the bus.

    Until he’s dead, yes. It’s not just the fact that he did it but the fact that it lied about it so many times and didn’t come clean about things until proof came out that he did what he was accused of. All he wants at this point is to be inducted into the HOF at this point so he can enjoy it. He wouldn’t have admitted to anything had proof not come out and I don’t think he’s the least bit sorry for doing it. He doesn’t deserve to enjoy getting into the HOF. horsefeathers him. Interesting. Do the feel the same way about the steroid guys who haven’t apologized? Or I guess even the guys whose apologies you felt were just aimed at them getting into the HOF? I don’t care about the steroid guys really. There’s a big gap to me between steroid guys and Rose.

    You think Pete Rose should be banned from the HOF? Until he’s dead, yes. It’s not just the fact that he did it but the fact that it lied about it so many times and didn’t come clean about things until proof came out that he did what he was accused of. All he wants at this point is to be inducted into the HOF at this point so he can enjoy it. He wouldn’t have admitted to anything had proof not come out and I don’t think he’s the least bit sorry for doing it. He doesn’t deserve to enjoy getting into the HOF. horsefeathers him.

    This is the least excited I've been for a Cubs season since probably 2013. At least 2014 had the excitement of Javy and Soler probably getting called up at some point.

    Someone (USA Today??) pegged them at 82 wins and 4th place I mean I haven't seen a betting line that low, I'm sure individuals will predict lower. That's a different story. Bovada was 85.5 earlier today. They took the over unders down now though, I assume because of the Betts trade.
  10. soccer10k
    I suppose I’ll start the third game of the year.

    I just lost my work’s squares pool because that guy didn’t go down. I am not happy right now.

    Heard today that before Mahomes, the Chiefs hadn’t won a game started by a QB they drafted since Todd Blackledge in 1987. That’s not just playoffs. That’s regular season also. That’s nuts. Of course, it makes a little more sense when you find out that between Blackledge and Mahomes, they picked 11 QBs but didn’t pick any in the first round and only two in the second round.

    Now they’re reporting his 13 year old daughter was on board also.

    So apparently Kobe died in a helicopter crash today.

    James Harden went 1-17 from 3 tonight, tying the record for most 3's attempted while only making one. The only other person with a 1-17 game? Also James Harden, last season. He's the only player with a game worse than 1-14. Harden also has a 1-13 game from 2018 and 1-13 or worse has only happened 5 times, and he's got three of them.

    The dreams I have about the 2020 Cubs are actually better classified as nightmares.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Account is still active. He’s following the Mets account, Brodie Van Wagenen and 8 people who report on or write about the Mets.

    I agree he probably gets traded. But Devin Booker is way too lofty a return for a number of reasons. Plus the Lakers can only do pick swaps for the next half decade because NO has their pick in 2021 and 2024 or 2025 plus a pick swap in 2023, so they can’t really use those to sweeten the deal.

    There have been some epically bad takes by media members over the years, and this one deserves to be ranked right near the top. [tweet]https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1217148441752735744[/tweet] Even the homeriest of Laker homers thinks this is absurd.

    Second most ever. Allan Houston had a game with 37 points. Reggie Miller had a game with 34 points and added 0 turnovers also. Michael Redd had a game with 29 points and also had no turnovers and no fouls. He also didn’t take a FT in the game so all he did in the box score was take 14 shots (13 of which were 3-pointers).
  23. soccer10k
    Maybe try to pick up a few yards for an easier FG? I know they made the 49 yarder but I’m sure the kicker wouldn’t have minded getting that down into the 30’s if possible.

    [tweet] [/tweet] LOL Cubs. Time to dust off the PTR stuff.

    Unless I missed one no 13-3 team has played on WC weekend under the current 8 division format. Last one was Tennessee in 1999 but they were a WC team. Nope. The last time it happened was in 2011...where the Saints went 13-3, but got the 3 seed behind...the Packers and 49ers... Yep, just read that. They won that game though. Also says they’re the third team to go 13-3 and not get a bye. Don’t know if that’s just division winners or any playoff team though.
