Luhnow is just like Taubman except he’s just smart enough to not say the really bad things out loud. But you can tell he just doesn’t give a horsefeathers at all.
-
Nevermind. I was wrong. They get no credit. horsefeathers the Astros.

"Our initial investigation led us to believe that Brandon Taubman's inappropriate comments were not directed toward any reporter," the Astros said in Thursday's statement. I’m going to assume their initial investigation involved talking only to Taubman and not any of the reporters who were there. I’ll still give them a very small bit of credit even though you know they wish they didn’t have to do this. It doesn’t outweigh their [expletive] statement, defending Taubman, calling the reporter a liar and allowing Taubman to issue an apology that wasn’t anything close to an apology. But this dude deserved to be fired so I’m glad that happened.

All the Cubs have to do is show the 573 other times over the past few years our medical staff has been unable to diagnose an injury in a normal time frame. If anything, they diagnosed Olt's injury surprisingly quick based on what we know now about them.

Pulisic comes on as a sub and gets the assist on the winning goal today. Good to see, even if I wanted Chelsea to lose.
-
Was Son hurt? It's crazy how much more dangerous he is than Kane (at least to the eye). I’m guessing he didn’t play because of travel for the international break. I agree with you though. They were much better immediately after he came on.
-
That’s good to see that he’s producing, even if it’s in limited time. I mainly want to see him play more. Last six matches in the EPL and UCL he’s played a total of 36 minutes. As for Spurs, they’ve been garbage in the league since mid-Feb last year. I don’t know exactly why and I’m not sure a turnaround is coming. So many issues with the team right now.
-
Nope you’re both wrong. You don’t necessarily have to list the person’s name in the headline but you can’t just say “Astros staffer”. That means nothing. It’s a guy who is one promotion from running his own front office and it should be called out as such. Say assistant GM. Say executive. But “Astros staffer” is [expletive]. It's the freaking headline and was spelled out completely in the story. My lord. And? A lot of people will probably see the headline and think it was some random dude and won’t bother to read the story. It’s not. Call it what it is. This isn’t very hard. Headlines matter. Not as much as the content of the actual story. But they matter.
-
Shame on Sports Illustrated? Really? 99% of people have never heard of this person, why would they put it in the headline? Yeah, you are correct. Headline was absolutely fine. Nope you’re both wrong. You don’t necessarily have to list the person’s name in the headline but you can’t just say “Astros staffer”. That means nothing. It’s a guy who is one promotion from running his own front office and it should be called out as such. Say assistant GM. Say executive. But “Astros staffer” is [expletive].

So this happened on Saturday. [tweet] [/tweet] Now I know you're probably thinking that of course the Astros denounced the comments and/or said that he was out of line. NOPE. [tweet] [/tweet] Also, shame on Sports Illustrated for their headline. Saying it's an "Astros staffer" is really downplaying who exactly made the comments. It was the horsefeathering assistant GM who said it. But saying "Astros staffer" makes it sound like it was some random person in the front office.
-
HAHA. Suck it Chapman.
-
LeMahieu with a ninth inning two run shot off the Astros domestic abuser to tie the game. I’m torn right now. I kind of want a Game 7 but I also think it would be funny to see the Yankees’s domestic abuser give it up here.
-
On June 1, the Nats has the same number of losses as the Tigers. Nats did have two more wins though.
-
This has been quite an enjoyable game.
-
What did he do?
-
Prior is the new Dodger pitching coach. Honeycutt is being reassigned to a special assistant role.
-
That's for sure. Two wrongs don't make a right, but Sanchez should have struck out on the previous pitch so I don't feel bad for him on the next pitch.
-
Even Schwarber fan thinks that’s nuts. They were flipping out after Game 3 of the NLDS also. I mean, I know you want your team to win in the playoffs and weird stuff can happen, but you’re kind of playing with house money at this point. Just be happy your team got in and won a series against a better team.
-
Nice play Taylor. Good thing Washington got those insurance runs.

Seriously. South Carolina should have gone for it on 4th and 3 rather than try a 58 yard FG at the end of regulation. Then in the second OT they go for it on 4th and 1 rather than try the FG (they got it but kicked a FG later in the drive). Then at the end of the first OT, they try to center the ball rather than go for the first down on 3rd and 3. I know it was only a 33 yarder but you need to go for the first down. And why at the end of regulation didn’t Georgia call timeout when Carolina was at 2nd and long from midfield then 3rd and long? They would have had plenty of time to drive down the field for a better shot. I thought South Carolina calling a timeout after their first down play was strange also. It's now 2nd and 12 from midfield and there's 1:26 left. Either you let the clock run a bit (not necessarily running the play clock all the way down) or you make Georgia use a timeout. You've got plenty of time even if you snap the next play at 1:00 to 1:05 or so because before that, they had all three timeouts. The last thing you want is to give Georgia time to drive down and tie/win the game (which they almost did).

EDIT: I liked them going for it on 4th and 1 in the second OT, just thought it was funny they’d rather try a 57 yarder with a kid whose career long (I think) was 49 instead of go for a 4th and 3 and then go for it in OT.

As great as it would be to see the Cards get no hit in the playoffs, I'm kind of glad he gave up a hit because it's a 2-run game and we didn't need Martinez to be tempted to leave him in against the top of the order just because he's got a no hitter.

Cubs Manager Search (Ross to be hired - Kaplan)
soccer10k replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This just means Schilling has no interest of getting back into baseball. -
Cardinals went 5-2 against them this year, including 3 of 4 at home and have home field advantage. With Anibal Sanchez starting game 1. This won't be a cakewalk. Especially since it'll set up where Wainwright only pitches at home. Cardinals beat Scherzer twice this year. cardinals were 2-4 against the barves in the regular season The Cubs were 8-11 against the Cardinals and 7-0 against the Mets in 2015.

It was an absolutely stupid decision to bring him in (or any starter) when you have actual functioning, good relief pitchers who only need to get 7 outs. That said, Kershaw had 5.2 scoreless playoff relief innings (all in deciding games) before tonight. I still can’t believe he left Joe Kelly in for a second inning and then brought in Jansen when they were down 4.
