From Marquez? he doesn't do that sort of thing http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/i/020627/m_marquez_rafa_vt.jpg That was Marquez? Well that figures. I couldn't see who it was on the highlights.

Finally saw the highlights of this and I have no idea what Sanchez was doing. If you're a goalie and you come out after a ball like that, you have to get the ball. There's no excuses, you have to. Along with the Messi goal, two boneheaded plays led to the first two Argentina goals though both finishes were stellar. Even the PK Argentina earned was a stupid, unnecessary foul that likely came out of frustration.

This would definitely be some great news. About time Soto gets his chance. Now for Cedeno...

I haven't watched enough of Messi's games to give an opinion on his skill level. But I've seen Ronaldo enough and, because of he can dribble through defenders (and because he likes to) he's a threat to either score or set up a goal any time he gets the ball in the attacking half of the field. The guy seems to do something amazing every game I watch. Ronaldo and Messi are going to be top 5 in the world for a number of years. That being said, that Messi goal against Mexico was SICK.

Go Cubs?

That was an extremely weak goal for Uruguay.

Ichiro set to re-sign
soccer10k replied to SouthSideRyan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
$20M per year for Ichiro is insane. There's no way he's worth that amount of money. -
The guy who plays everyday.

Freddy Sanchez is a crappy All Star
soccer10k replied to cheapseats's topic in General Baseball Talk
It's the first half of the season (save the last 15ish games) that is the disappointing part. -
Anybody following the other U-20 games today? Brazil was up 2-1 but gave up a goal in the 84th minute and then two in extra time and lost 4-2 to Spain. 3 of the 4 goals in the Japan-Czech Republic game were scored via the penalty spot. Japan had a 2-0 lead but gave it away. Both teams had a player red carded and they're now in penalties. EDIT: And the Czech's win 4-3 in the shootout.

*hopes Prince stops hitting*

Agreed. There's no way he only had one corked bat but 40+ is just absurd.
-
Marco...What do you know about Preston North End? Raley Field here in Sacramento is hosting an exhibition game in a couple weeks between Preston and Monterrey of the Mexican League - which I'll probably be covering - so I was just curious as to if you had any info on them.

Can we only change our Wild Card pick at the All-Star break or is it anytime after the All-Star break?

Interesting... Yost broke collarbone, Ichiro re Wrigley
soccer10k replied to Coach C's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Len and Bob talked about this during a home series against the Brewers. How do you not catch yourself, or at least keep yourself from landing on your collarbone? You can break your collarbone while still bracing yourself. (See Peterson, Adrian) Well, yeah, it's easier to break anything in a football game when you're going full speed and huge men are barreling at you. But when you're out for a morning jog in Wrigleyville? Yeah, but he broke it by falling on his right shoulder. He wasn't even really tackled. Didn't he do it diving into the endzone when scoring a touchdown? -
I was going to type the exact same thing.
-
I had to go with Prince. ETA: With Utley as a close second.

FINAL FOUR (1) CaliforniaRaisin vs. (2) Banedon
soccer10k replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That just means you'll be twice as disappointed when it doesn't happen. :wink: -
FINAL FOUR (1) CaliforniaRaisin vs. (2) Banedon
soccer10k replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Holy cow. I figured Raisin would win but I thought it would be a lot closer than it is. -
Without question it has to be a big bat.
-
Send him to AAA to get his swing back. I like the guy as much as anybody (well, maybe not TT) but he's clearly in a funk right now.

CUBS WIN!!!

The move Adu made on Altidore's second goal was absolutely outstanding. He also did a step over a couple minutes before that (I believe) and juked the Brazilian defender out of his shoes. I think he got fouled on that play. I only watched the second half but Adu was superb on the pitch today. They really need to give him a shot with the National Team because there's really no reason not to. Also, it was extremely refreshing after Brazil scored to tie the game, that both teams attacked and tried to get the winning goal even though, with a tie, both were assured of advancing. This was especially evident with Brazil because they had the most to lose - which they ended up doing. If this match was between two National Team squads in a tournament like this - including this exact situation where with a tie both teams advance - it would be all but a guarantee that the game would have ended in a tie. EDIT: Oh, and thanks, Raisin, for the the reminder that the game was on. I completely forgot that my parents get ESPNU (not that it mattered today with the game also being televised on ESPN) but I didn't even think about the game because of it until your post about the halftime score.

I hate you Pittsburgh. Well, after the Brewers series, hate may be a strong word. Severely dislike works better.

32 runs allowed in two games on one day. That's gotta hurt the pitching staff.
