    Edmonton and Vegas have 88 points which leads the Pacific Division. That would put them 7th in the Atlantic, 6th in the Metro and tied for 4th in the Central.

    Not trying to be negative but I'll take the under on this. Cubs are 5-6 and they play game 60 on May 31. So that means they have to go 30-19 to get to 35-25. Definitely not impossible, but I'd be plenty happy with 29-20 and that would put them at only 8 over.

    Someone tell the Cubs they’re allowed to win two games in a row.

    Ben Brown out for the 7th is exactly what we all wanted to see.
  7. soccer10k
    Ben Brown sucks.

    Clearly takes his defensive cues from Oneil Cruz.

    His job is to do what the player wants. If Nico goes to him and says he wants to stay in Chicago and he wants to sign basically before the season as long as the Cubs meet some sort of minimums for years/annual salary/total money, then that's what the agent does. He can say hey, I think I can get you more if you wait and test out FA, but if that's not what the player wants, that's not what will happen. I mean, rough estimate is Nico had made around $40M through 2026 before taxes. Pretty good money. But $130M guaranteed is life changing money. Lock that in and you don't have to worry about a down year depressing your value or a major injury. He's not a pitcher so that's less likely, but still happens. We live in a world where we see a lot of people prioritize the most money they can get over everything else. But not everyone does that, and maybe Nico is one of those people.

    What you’re not impressed by someone predicting a pitcher will have elbow issues? What are you gong to tell me next, that you’re not impressed with a prediction that an NFL player will get a concussion?

    Yeah, it rarely is. Like a non contact injury in basketball or football where they grab the knee is almost always an ACL.

    LOL at ruling that the runner missed the bag on this.
  13. soccer10k
    Lol Italy missed out again. The Materazzi curse. Ever since they won in 2006, they got bounced in the group stage twice and missed out the next three.

    It's not really occasionally. I just reloaded this page with no ad blocker. I get a full width ad at the bottom plus a small video ad on the bottom right side. Along the right hand side under "Recent News", "Notes and Rumors" and "Recent Blogs", I get 10 different ads as I scroll. In between posts on this page, I counted 13 different ads as I scroll down.

    Duke blowing a game it had no business losing against an inferior team is one of my new favorite March traditions.

    I get this is more referencing football, but can the Big 10 win a basketball title before we claim they’re dominating it? I mean, it was only last year that the SEC had two F4 and 4 of the E8 teams.

    We’ll I’ve seen enough today.

    Boyd blowing up.

    What an awful final play by Florida. 4.5 second and you try to dribble all the way under the hoop and pass it? Dribble down, maybe set a screen and get a shot off. Also, love that Iowa went for the 3 and the win. Give Florida an extra 5 minutes and their talent is more likely to win out.

    Boy that was an awesome ending to Nebraska-Vandy. The last minute and a half there was one timeout called and no fouls, so the game just flowed. And Vandy couldn't have gotten much closer to winning that game on the final shot.

    That's a pretty wild jump. Very much deserved but still wild.

    Today I learned that when a team gets the ball to start a possession in the front court, the shot clock starts at 20 seconds and not 30. Watching MSU-Louisville, MSU won the tip but knocked it out of bounds in their backcourt. So Louisville got the ball out of bounds and the shot clock started at 20 seconds. They then got a shot clock violation and I was really confused how that was possible with 19:34 left on the game clock.

    They definitely made a mistake and blew it, but I understand how heat of the moment mistakes happen. There was no timeout after Kentucky made their layup or after Santa Clara hit the 3. And in the timeout before the Kentucky layup, I’m sure they only went over what to do if Kentucky missed, if they tied it or if they hit a 3 to take the lead.

    Down goes Wisconsin.

    Not going to lie, don't necessarily mind losing to Venezuela after what we did in their country a couple months ago.
