    Jake's not working around Turner, Pat. He's got no command.

    horsefeathering throw strikes, Jake.

    So a missed balk costs us a run and a missed check swing call gives them a run. Off to a great start.

    Pat got my hopes up on that one.

    What a gutless turd. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not sure I believe much of that story. I also half expect to wake up and hear he's starting Game 4. Ditto. I'll believe it when Roark is warming up in the pen before the game.

    Someone is having some fun with Sunil's wiki:

    Of course he's going to say that. Wholesale changes means he gets fired.

    Defend home turf and get a win on the road. That's what you need to do to qualify. Going 3-1-1 or 4-1 at home is 10-12 points. Get 5 points on the road however they come and that puts you at 15-17. You're at least getting 4th with that. We did neither. 9 points at home and only 3 on the road.

    What an embarrassment.

    My god we're going to miss the World Cup.

    I can't believe I'm following Panama-Costa Rica on the final matchday because we need help to make it unless we score.

    Chile is out unless there's a goal in Peru-Columbia.

    horsefeathers this team.

    Assuming they do start Roark tomorrow... What Dusty should do is be very aggressive with his bullpen. Roark shaky early? Get him out. Pitchers spot comes up in a big spot in the 5th, bring in a pinch hitter. Big spot for the Cubs in the 4th or 5th? Bring in one of Madsen/Doolittle/Kintzler. Extend those three if necessary. Do what you have to because you've got two rested starters available for Game 5 plus Scherzer if needed. Of course it's Dusty so what the Cubs will get a couple off Roark, a big spot will come up in the 5th, Dusty will either stick with Roark or go to his normal middle relief and the Cubs will blow it open.

    I thought for sure I was going to see Werth having a great line against Arrieta in his career but nope, he's 2-9 with a HR, 4 RBI and a walk.

    Did the Yankees really get cute in the Wild Card game? Severino got lit up right away and Girardi didn't want to let it get out of hand. Sure, Severino could have recovered and gone 6 innings allowing 3 or 4 runs. But if Girardi leaves Severino in and he gives up more runs and they lose, Girardi gets torched in the media. He knew he had a stud pen and they did exactly what he hoped they would (8 2/3, 5 H, 1 R). I'd also argue that the Sale thing worked for a while since he got 4 scoreless innings. Maybe Farrell just left him in too long (I can't speak for how he looked in his fifth inning since I wasn't watching). The other three, though, I 100% agree with you.

    I didn't see all the numbers but their record is 4-16.

    So the Joel Embiid max extension is probably going to be a disaster for the Sixers, right? I hope it works out for them because he was really good when he was on the court but 5/148 for a guy who has played 31 games in 3 years doesn't seem smart.

    Houston vs Cleveland might be the most entertaining ALCS of all time Houston-New York would be 11-9 every game.

    Nice and easy, Wade.
  21. soccer10k
    YES YES YES.
  22. soccer10k
    Come on, KB.
  23. soccer10k
    Hold them here and the top of the order will give Wade a chance to close it out.
  24. soccer10k
    Cubs getting no hit by the Nats through 5. I feel like I've seen this movie before and enjoyed the ending.

    Bats leadoff and plays centerfield. Therefor he's fast.
