  1. So who had May 1 as the day Soriano would hit his first home run?
  2. So in the last four days Chelsea has been eliminated from the Champions League and all but killed its chance to win the Premiership.
  3. Reina with two huge saves for Liverpool Kuyt with a chance to win it here... And he does it. Liverpool make all four penalties they take and they can book a trip to Athens.
  4. I haven't seen a penalty kick shootout since the World Cup Final.
  5. Without seeing a replay yet, I think Kuyt should have done better with that shot.
  6. Too worn out to fight...And it's only April! According to ESPN.com, only 5.6% of teams in the last 25 years to finish April 3 games or more under .500. Huh? Am I missing something here? Only 5.6% of playoff teams in the last 25 years finished 3 games or more under .500 in April. That's nice. Doesn't really tell us anything. Well, it tells us that if you suck in April that chances are you're not a playoff team.

  8. Isn't it just the Wild Card that you can't change until midseason?
  9. Chelsea definitely dodged a bullet right there because that was very close. But it was the right call.
  10. To answer the topic question, because it's the Cubs.
  11. Extra time here we come.
  12. Wow. How did that ball go over the top?
  13. Too worn out to fight...And it's only April! Not anymore. Is it going to matter? Probably not.
  14. I thought the Kuyt header was in. Liverpool definitely deserve to be ahead right now.
  15. Too worn out to fight...And it's only April! Not anymore.
  16. is he in AAA? Yes. His stats: 31 IP, 0.29 ERA, 46 K, 11 BB, .119 BAA. Dude is a stud. My editor (a Giants fan) was a little disappointed he didn't make the big league club out of Spring Training.
  17. I don't think they'll run away with the division but I think they'll end up winning it.
  18. I completely agree. LaRussa is being hypocritical in his statements in the article Chris posted the link to. LaRussa is talking about the media "trying to further their own agendas" when he is doing exactly that. He realizes that if he condemns drinking and driving, he's screwing himself and that's the last thing he wants to do. So now he's trying to downplay a serious problem because he doesn't want to shed any more negative light on himself.
  19. I know if I show up late, hungover, and unable to perform they will intrude in my personal life by removing me from their payroll. Even if it was for the first time? That seems a little extreme. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess the incident that got him a $500 fine wasn't his first time.
  20. Great goal by Daniel Agger and it's 1-0 Liverpool.
  21. "I drink alone" is fitting too since most Cubs fans go into solitary after losses. Good point.
  22. Health/team dependant. Average OPS+ over the last four years: Fonz: 117 Pods: 89 Much better choice than runs scored. The fact that there's an argument about who is a better leadoff man between the 2nd worst hitter in baseball (behind GRINDERSTAD) and Fons is a testament to how underwhelming Soriano has been. Hope he fares better, for your sake. Awesome nickname.
  23. Liverpool is in a tough spot here. They have to get a goal but have to be careful because if they give one up, they'll have to get three to move on.
  24. To torture or not to torture (myself by watching this game). That is the question.
