  1. So PCA hits for the cycle and the only run he scores or drives in was on the home run. Kind of sad for the offense.
  2. I definitely didn’t have Spain 0, Cape Verde 0 on my World Cup bingo card.
  3. With our medical staff, he'll probably have a couple PH or DH chances in the next couple days, then they'll announce he's out until July.
  4. Also teams are only going to go after him more if they think they can get him to react and get tossed.
  5. I’m glad the Knicks won so I don’t have to get irrationally angry at the league for not retroactively assessing Wemby a flagrant for the landing spot foul on Brunson. Because there’s no way they suspend him for Game 6 even if he 100% should have been.
  6. Only the 15th time a player has scored 45+ in a Finals game.
  7. Congrats to the Knicks on defeating The Extender.
  8. LOL. Wemby commits a landing spot violation on Brunson who twists his ankle. Could have been a flagrant which would mean a Wemby suspension for Game 6 and the refs just swallow their whistle.
  9. Lol. Was just coming to post something along these lines.
  10. Yamamoto perfect through 7 against the White Sox.
  11. Giants pitching staff: bad and bigoted: https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisco-giants-analysis/107734/giants-pride-night-bigotry-landen-roupp-jt-brubaker
  12. None. The previous record was 13 K's by Skubal and Kershaw. In the first three innings, he struck out 8 batters. That requires a minimum of 25 pitches (8 K's plus at least 1 pitch to the 9th batter). He only threw 34 pitches total. That's insane.
  13. If it was 0-0 at halftime, I'd be much more worried. The fact that it was 3-0 makes me buy into the "playing it safe" narrative because the game was pretty much over at that point. This is also where the bloated World Cup helps. In 2022 we played on the 21st, 25th, and 29th. This year we play on the 12th, 19th and 25th. So a lot more rest time, which helps for recovery.
  14. Personally I’d take the Mexico win easily. I’d probably take the Portugal win too because it was over a much better opponent and helped set the stage for what came later. That being said, this was really fun.
  15. Poch will address the Pulisic situation after the match is not what I was hoping to hear. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but if he wasn't hurt, wouldn't they just say that?
  16. Love a VAR review to yellow card a guy for a dive. Somebody is going to get a second yellow and get sent off for that and it's going to be great.
  17. Hopefully just resting Pulisic and it's not an injury.
  18. Well that was a pretty good half. First time we've scored 3 in a WC game since against Portugal in 2002. Also only the fourth time we've scored 3 goals in a WC game. The other two were in 1930.
  19. Well time to bunker for 82 minutes, right? Arsenal-style.
  20. What a dumb red by Mexico. You’re up 2-0 and up 2 players in injury time. Just let the guy go through and if you give up a goal, oh well. Now you’re suspended for the next game too. EDIT: Not to mention, you’re up 2 players and 2 goal, how are you getting caught in an odd man rush where a foul like that can even take place?
  21. Well we know the NBA will have Scott “The Extender” Foster on tap for Game 5 so this thing will go at least 6.
  22. Friend of mine said it was 36-1 at one point.
  23. It's a split second decision but he made the wrong choice. If you have the open layup, you take it so you don't risk missing a FT. But once the defender is right there, you dribble it out.
