  1. They need a Nigeria win or draw tomorrow. A win would be ideal because then they could finish tied with Iceland on 4 points. A tie and they need Croatia to actually try because then they’d have to group locked up.
  2. I love Argentina sending in crosses with one or two guys in the box when Croatia has 8 in there as if those two guys will actually get on the end of it.
  3. It’s got one more playoff team than we have now.
  4. Remember a couple years ago people were wondering what a peak Mike Trout might do and if he would even improve much because what he was doing was already insane? Well we're seeing it right now.
  5. Muskat probably thinks we brought in Uehara for a workout.
  6. Definitely. Just reading that they said "bat flip mentality on defense" I would assume it was a negative connotation. But listening to it they definitely meant it in a positive way.
  7. Probably a split and they have to overuse their pitching and we sweep or take 3 of 4 in Cincy. I'll be rooting for a split but if we take at least 3 in Cincy, I wouldn't be angry if St. Louis wins 3 of 4.
  8. That’s on Willy or Maddon. Whoever decided to bunt.
  9. I saw that Juan Soto homered in a suspended game yesterday that was originally started before he debuted. Does anyone know if that would affect service time at all? Like if a team held down a player just long enough that he's one day short of a full year and then a scenario like this happens, does that add an extra day of service time? I would think not but it's such a fluky instance that's not likely to occur so there might not be anything in the CBA about it.
  10. I think he had a shot but can’t forget that it was Puig that would be making the throw Yeah, definitely not worth it with Puig throwing and there being no outs. Like they said on the broadcast, if there's two outs, maybe they take the chance. But no outs you're at least getting Rizzo to the plate with two outs unless KB gets thrown out at home on a sac fly.
  11. We would have taken that going in with Chatwood starting one of the games. Obviously the way we lost the first one hurts but the split is fine. Win the series tomorrow and then beat the horsefeathers out of Cincy this weekend.
  12. Walk this horsefeathering thing off now, please.
  13. *Swings at ball 1 that's six inches inside.* *Takes strike 2 that's right down the middle."
  14. Thought I had one more loss to go but didn’t factor in the bukie no show. Oh well. We’ll just swap places in the order.
  15. I would have rather had Bass come in and give that up. At least then Joe can say he’s playing the matchups.
  16. Joe is outsmarting all of us. At least its not Bass? Cant wait until Joe calls out "Cubs Twitter" when asked about it afterwards On cue. Bass up in the pen.
  17. I was going to say you forgot about Edwin but he didn’t start any games for the 2015 team, just had 23 appearances out of the pen.
  18. Chatwood starts off the game with homer, walk, walk and somehow isn’t the first pitcher removed. I didn’t see that coming.
  19. Yeah, that was dumb. It’s the third minute. Just give up the goal. Easier to come back from a goal down than play 87 minutes with 10 men and probably be a goal down.
