  1. Good, that guy could have actually hurt Mookie by yanking on the glove/wrist like that.
  2. For a sport that is such a crapshoot in the playoffs, it's pretty surprising that of the 24 teams before tonight that went up 3-0 in the World Series, 21 of them completed a sweep.
  3. ten Haag sacked by ManU. Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
  4. Lol Jets.
  5. They have fewer AFC East titles than the Colts, who last played in that division in 2001. They also have the same number of AFC East titles as the Houston Oilers, who last played in the AFC East in 1969.
  6. Mariano Rivera pitched 19 seasons. His only season with an ERA above 3.15 was his rookie season when he started 10 games. His 3.15 ERA in 2007 was his only season as a reliever with an ERA above 3. In 11 of his 17 full seasons as a reliever (excluding 2012 when he got hurt and made 9 appearances) he had an ERA under 2.
  7. Mahomes is... 23rd in QB Rating 11th in QBR 21st in TD passes 16th in passing ypg 1st in interceptions Yet he's somehow the MVP favorite. I know he doesn't have the weapons he used to and he's obviously a great QB, but the stats have to matter.
  8. I think the only way I could be less interested in this series is if it was the Cardinals in there instead of the Dodgers. Although I guess in that case I would grit my teeth and root for the Yankees. In this case I just don't care who wins.
  9. I know the 8 wins came against the A's (who sucked), the Angels (who sucked) and Tigers (who had already clinched a playoff spot) - and that the first two of those could have come in June and we wouldn't have noticed - but I'm a little disappointed the Sox managed to end the year 8-6 and only finished with 121 losses rather than 124 or 125. Would have been better if they had clearly been the worst team of the modern era.
  10. Can someone who follows college football closer than I do explain how Florida State went from a 13-0 regular season in 2023 to starting 1-6 in 2024. I'm sure they lost plenty of talent to the draft but that happens to all of the big schools each year. Were they just an incredibly top heavy team last year that got a little lucky, went 13-0, lost most of those dudes and didn't have anyone to replace them? Michigan lost a ton of talent and one of the best coaches in the sport, and they're still 4-2 this year. Washington also lost a ton of talent and their head coach and they're 4-3.
  11. Emmanuel Clase gave up 2 home runs in 74 1/3 IP this regular season. He gave up 2 home runs in the 8th inning today.
  12. My interest in the playoffs has dropped dramatically over the last week.
  13. So we're going to get Yankees against either the Mets or Dodgers in the WS aren't we.
  14. Mets have scored 19 of their 23 runs in this series in innings 6-9.
  15. Also weirdly enough, because both teams are in the AAC now, they could play in the conference championship game on Dec 6, then the selection show would be Dec 8 and the two teams are scheduled to play their annual game on Dec 14.
  16. And Miami pulls it out 39-38.
  17. Miami getting crushed right now. 35-10 mid 3rd quarter.
  18. At least in Detroit and KC's case, the benefits of getting to play one of the worst teams in history 13 times vs. only 6 for the other AL teams. Detroit went 10-3 vs. the Sox while KC went 12-1. They both beat out Seattle (6-1 vs. the Sox) by a game.
  19. That's now 10 straight playoff losses for the Orioles, tied for the 4th longest streak ever.
  20. Houston eliminated.
  21. This can’t be the Braves getting cute and trying to save Sale for tomorrow right? EDIT: Hasn’t pitched since Sept 19 so probably not them getting cute.
  22. And the Braves just gave it right back up.
  23. Lol and now the Mets give up 4 in the bottom of the 8th. Braves used Iglesias already so who knows who they’ll throw in the 9th.
  24. What a disaster of an 8th inning for Atlanta.
