  1. Just give me a winner in Bosnia-Qatar wo we don’t have to worry about getting Ecuador or Senegal in the R32.
  2. I have no doubt by the rule book it's the right call. But I'm not a fan of the "guy came off the bag for a split second therefore he out" call and this is that taken to another level because PCA is entitled to second base on the walk and probably didn't even know ball 4 had been called.
  3. Seemed like Ghana was pretty content to play for a draw considering it virtually guarantees they advance.
  4. Lol that might be the stupidest decision I’ve ever seen. What the fuck are the umps thinking?
  5. Could have gotten good money on a Messi, Mbappe and Haaland 2+ goals each parlay.
  6. Hilariously bad decision by the Uruguay goalie to come out after the ball on the Cape Verde second goal. Was a bad pass by the Uruguay defender and a nice finish by the CV player.
  7. Bullpen of Doom coming through for our opponent once again.
  8. We really need a winner in Bosnia-Qatar game. A tie likely eliminates both and the permutations have us most likely getting 3rd in E, which is likely to be Ecuador, or 3rd in I, which is likely to be Norway or Senegal. Not unwinnable by any means, but I'd much rather get Bosnia or Qatar.
  9. This is not the case. If Turkey wins today and beats us, they would have the tiebreaker over us (assuming a 2 team tie as opposed to a 3 way tie).
  10. I assumed it was always H2H as the first tiebreaker but that’s not correct. It should be H2H, even if it’s usually irrelevant because if two teams end up tied, it’s usually because they tied the H2H game.
  11. That performance by South Korea was pretty pathetic. It looked like they had no desire to even try to score until like the 85th minute.
  12. It’s not silly. Is disaster a bit harsh? Maybe. But at best the trade has been disappointing. I also said “so far”. If Cabrera turns it around then that obviously changes my opinion of it. No idea who else we could have traded for but I’m sure there are a few guys we could have acquired for a Caissie centered package who would have a ERA better than 5 right now.
  13. This Cabrera trade has been a disaster so far. I know Caissie hasn’t been good in Miami, but the fact that we gave up a legitimate asset for a guy with a 5+ ERA isn’t great.
  14. 5-6 with 1 game remaining in a 12 game stretch against the two worst teams in the NL.
  15. Mbappe will eventually get the record but Messi might get there first. Hat trick tonight so he ties the record with 16 career WC goals.
  16. Mbappe with 14 WC goals now. Record is 16. He’s only 27 also. Realistically he’s got at least 4 more matches this WC, plus the 2030 Cup. I would think he’d be on the 2034 team, though France is typically pretty deep. Even with average performances the rest of this tourney and in 2030, he’s going to blow the record out of the water.
  17. Why the f are you swinging at 2-0 with the bases loaded, Shaw? Dumbass.
  18. It’s always amazing how frequently pitchers make a bad throw to the bases. I don’t know what the percentage is, but it’s got to be way higher than we’d expect.
  19. Well, we’ll always have that 20-3 stretch in April and May. cubs about to guarantee .500 or worse in 12 games against the two worst records in the league.
