  1. I'm going to watch the Giants game to see if Derek Law was able to wipe away his NLDS tears or if they permanently stained his face.
  2. The guy who is currently winning the ESPN bracket pool has missed 8 total games. Three of them (including his only incorrect Elite 8 team) were because he picked UC Davis to win 3 games.
  3. Until that ball actually cleared the fence, I never thought it was going out. As Davis was slowing up while he was getting to the wall, I kept expecting him to stop and put his glove up to make the catch. I know balls were carrying but Ross homering to dead center off Andrew Miller just seemed so unlikely.
  4. That was ugly basketball at the end. Both teams were clearly gassed. That said, amazing shot. Refs tried to give UCONN the game with that bull crap flagrant foul call and the announcers were wholeheartedly agreeing with it. It should have been a regular foul in the first place so it probably evened out anyway. UConn bungled it at the end though. No reason to take a shot with 15 seconds left.
  5. Randomly looked at the NIT bracket today and man did the top teams not give a horsefeathers this year. The Final Four seeds were 4, 4, 6, 8. The #1 seeds won a total of 3 games (none more than 1), the #2 seeds won a total of 2 (both Illinois) and the #3 seeds didn't win any.
  6. Maybe next time someone attack that ball a bit.
  7. Hell of an effort by Pulisic on the goal.
  8. Argentina should be fine. They have at Uruguay, home to Peru, home to Venezuela, at Ecuador. Win the two home games against 8th and 10th gives them 28 points. Ecuador is at Brazil, home to Peru, at Chile and home to Argentina. So they'd have to beat Peru, Argentina and one of Brazil/Chile to get to 29. Paraguay has at Brazil, at Chile, home to Uruguay, at Columbia, home to Venezuela. They're only on 18 so they'd need 4 wins. Netherlands needs to hold serve at home against Sweden and Bulgaria. Do that and they should be fine but they don't have much margin for error. I think conmebol is a two game agreggate for who gets in for 5th and 6th place after qualifying games. So if you describe happens then they would probably still need to maybe get a result at 10,000ft in Ecuador (after getting rolled at altitude v Bolivia). Obviously they should pass chile, Uruguay or Columbia but it doesn't look like they will based on their form. So this is not a dream scenario. Wiki says top 4 qualify automatically and 5th has a playoff with Oceania. So realistically, Argentina would have to go win, loss, draw in their next three matches then lose to Ecuador in the last round to miss out.
  9. Argentina should be fine. They have at Uruguay, home to Peru, home to Venezuela, at Ecuador. Win the two home games against 8th and 10th gives them 28 points. Ecuador is at Brazil, home to Peru, at Chile and home to Argentina. So they'd have to beat Peru, Argentina and one of Brazil/Chile to get to 29. Paraguay has at Brazil, at Chile, home to Uruguay, at Columbia, home to Venezuela. They're only on 18 so they'd need 4 wins. Netherlands needs to hold serve at home against Sweden and Bulgaria. Do that and they should be fine but they don't have much margin for error.
  10. Nolan Arenado Kris Bryant, Manny Machado Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Giancarlo Stanton Nick Castellanos, Justin Bour, Adrian Gonzalez, Francisco Lindor, Kole Calhoun
  11. Well that was a fun game to be at.
  12. Going to the qualifier tonight. I've never been to a USMNT game before so I'm pretty excited.
  13. None of the coaches of those teams have ever even made a Final Four. Coming into today, the only coach on that side of the bracket to make a Final Four was Huggins.
  14. That was an atrocious last possession by WVU. Two long threes when they didn't need one and then couldn't get a shot up with 10 seconds to go.
  15. It's going to be great when Willson guns down 3-4 Cardinals in the opening series.
  16. I thought after going 16-0 on Thursday, that thing were going to go terribly wrong on Friday. As it turns out, I was only off by a day. I'd only lost SMU from my Sweet 16 teams in the first round so I could have gone 15-1 this weekend. Barring a Cincinnati comeback, I'll go 5-11. Lost 4 Elite 8 teams including both of my finalists. Guess I won't have to bother checking my bracket the rest of the tournament.
  17. 30-2 on Thursday and Friday 0-2 today At least I didn't have Nova in the Final Four and this will make things easier for Duke.
  18. 21-0 ended with the USC win.
  19. Spread was Michigan -2.5 for that game also so the garbage 3 at the end flipped the result on that.
  20. I'd forgotten they had the Cubs come out to the Imperial March.
  21. Same here but 16-0 is still 16-0. I'm fully expecting a 9-7 day tomorrow with a Final Four team or a couple Elite 8 teams getting bounced.
  22. Go Ags! Don't even care if Kansas beats us by 50. We get a real tournament game.
  23. So until late April then.
