  1. 6 minutes between posts. Is the game that boring?
  2. Since my original prediction (Brazil-Argentina) isn't going to work out, I'm going with Brazil-Italy. Italy hasn't allowed an opponent to score a goal (though they did score on themselves) in the tournament. Either way, the Germany-Italy game is going to be very entertaining as will the Brazil-France and whoever Portugal plays in the semis.
  3. It was just like the Germany-Argentina game. Ricardo guessed correctly on each kick just like Lehman did yesterday. Like others said, England didn't look like they wanted to win the shootout.
  4. I knew I shouldn't have predicted a penalty kick shootout victory for England. I had the correct shootout score but with England winning. Also, somebody must have smacked Dave O'Brien and told him it was Cristiano Ronaldo and not Cristian Ronaldo.
  5. That's what I saw as well on the replay. Didn't see it at first but the referee was right behind Rooney so he obviously saw it. That was the inevitable Wayne Rooney blowup.
  6. I don't know who the other announcer is (it's not Marcelo Balboa) but he continues to say "Cristian Ronaldo" and it is getting quite annoying. Did he even do his homework?
  7. Cavs offer LeBron 5 year $80 million extension. Link
  8. "A World War II rematch on the pitch! England vs. Germany, this Sunday!" Fixed
  9. Maybe Raffy can talk to his juicing buddy Jose Canseco and get a contract with the San Diego Surf Dawgs. It would sure make their steroid deals easier to complete.
  10. That was an unbelievable month.
  11. I know there is a great joke in here somewhere, I'll have to get back to you though.
  12. I would ask Lou what he thinks of the walk and OBP. That's it.
  13. I have to say 0 out. That at least gives the team two chances to hit a sac fly. It also depends on whether the opposing team has the infield in. If we have a runner on third with the infield in, there is no chance we're scoring because they'll hit a grounder.
  14. Wow, longest game thread in almost 2 weeks. Good job everybody.
  15. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2506311 Thank you. Nothing was on either ESPN.com or CNNSI.com when I made my original post.
  16. Yes! Our Angel has come to save us! *crickets* Ok, lame joke, I know, but at least there's one less 2B on the roster that we have to worry about, though I would have felt much better if it said PEREZ officially DFA. Neifi, Womack. What's the difference? Neifi's OBP:.299; Womack's OBP: .342...not sensationally better; but better anyway. Womack gets on base more than Neifi or Pierre. Neifi: 2 years 5M And there is your difference.
  17. Argentina coach Jose Pekerman resigned following the defeat to Germany. Link
  18. I heard on SC a few minutes ago that the Bucks traded T.J. Ford to the Raptors for Charlie Villanueva. Anyone else hear this?
  19. It would be hard to differentiate between every team in the division being horrible and beating up on each other and every team being talented and beating up on each other. And as long as there is an unbalanced schedule you have to take the division winners. If they balanced the schedule out then it would be easier just to take the top 4 teams as every team would be playing on a level playing field.
  20. Germany beats Argentina 4-2 on PK's. Argentina's goalie didn't guess right at all and Lehman guessed correctly every single time.
  21. I don't know what Marcelo Balboa's obsession with the penalty kick shootout going all 11 kickers. I don't recall a shootout going more than 6 or 7. And he also thinks that the goalies will be the last to take the kicks, which isn't true either. They could be last, but they could be one of the first 5.
  22. Can we bring back Kyle Farnsworth for this series so he can plunk AJ Pierzynski and singlehandedly take out every member of the White Sox in the ensuing brawl? Is this possible?
  23. The Cubs will sweep the Sox on their way to winning 8 of 10 before the All Star Break paving the way for the inevitable DUSTY BAKER EXTENTION on Monday July 10.
