  1. I had the same thought. No need for him to slide how he did.
  2. That being said, the catcher needs to just go get the ball first and then complain later.
  3. That's a pretty stupid thing to not be reviewable. I mean either it hit the bat or it didn't. It's a pretty cut and dry play.
  4. Should have been a foul ball but I'll take it.
  5. I hope the US players do whatever they can to get another goal kick. The protocol is irrelevant at this point. They know the game is over so they're going to chant because what the horsefeathers do they care if the match gets abandoned. This will never stop until they make Mexico forfeit competitive matches or boot them out of a competitive tournament.
  6. Northwestern scored 19 points in the first half and 19 points in OT.
  7. All of a sudden Kansas is only up 3 on Samford with 5 minutes left.
  8. I agree that he wasn't getting fired but a lot of people don't like Berhalter and didn't want him back so the frustration is understandable.
  9. I’d love to know what changed in between the Ohtani rep saying Ohtani transferred the money on behalf of the interpreter to then accusing him of massive theft. Theres got to be way more to this story than we know.
  10. In the late 90's, you had 3-4 choices as a baseball fan as far as routinely watching a specific team. You watched your local team(s). You watched the Cubs on WGN. You watched the Braves on TBS. There are many thousands of people who are Cubs fans right now solely because of the 98 home run chase. I was already a Cubs fan but I was 13 that year and Sosa going after 60, plus the Cubs making a playoff push, certainly solidified that. I would watch the Cubs in the summer when school was out. And when school was in, I would come home and tune into the last couple innings on WGN to find out if Sammy homered or not. So yeah, in terms of growing a fanbase, it's unlikely any other Cub had as much of an affect on that as Sammy.
  11. If it was that easy to just take a bunch of steroids and hit 60 homers in a season, why weren't other guys able to do it?
  12. When can I bet on Tennessee underperforming their seed? Never trust Rick Barnes in the tournament.
  13. Which of those other four would you put above Bayern? Barcelona maybe, though they don’t seem to be quite as good as in years past. Definitely not Dortmund and probably not Atletico. And I never trust PSG either once it comes to the knockout stages.
  14. 4 best teams left in the UCL all got grouped in the same half. Atletico-Dortmund winner gets PSG-Barcelona. Arsenal-Bayern winner gets Man City-Real.
  15. 3-2 Leverkusen (5-4 aggregate) with two stoppage time goals to win it and advance.
  16. And of course they’re down 2-0 at home to Qarabag, giving up the second goal after Qarabag had a player sent off. First leg ended 2-2.
  17. Yep. Especially in Leverkusen’s case since I’m sure they’ll lose some players this summer and maybe the manager too so the team that competes in the UCL next year will likely be a diminished version.
  18. Ditto. I was definitely expecting a domestic violence incident.
  19. I’m just glad he got up from that unscathed. That had broken wrist all over it. But yeah, that’s an amazing block.
  20. Feb 22 Wemby was an assist away from a 5x5. He then put up a 5x5 the very next night. There have only been 22 now in NBA history and only 2 players have done it more than once (Hakeem 6 times and Kirklenko 3 times). Wemby almost goes 5x5 on back to back nights in his rookie year. Just wild.
  21. Seems like a logical deal for both sides. Bellinger can hit FA next year if he has another good year and the Cubs aren’t handing out a huge deal based off one bounce back season.
  22. Who knew the Cubs were fans of cross laminated timber?
  23. Petition to make it January 2025 instead.
