  1. I thought they said during the game it was Rex Grossman, not Tebow.
  2. Standard Lincoln Riley defense. In 8 games against major conference teams, they’ve give up 40+ points in regulation 4 times and at least 28 points 7 times. The only one they didn’t was Stanford who is 2-6.
  3. This Denver court is hideous.
  4. LOL Raiders
  5. Bears fans laughing about Jordan Love sucking in 2023 only for Love to suck so bad the Packers get to draft their next franchise QB would be quite hilarious.
  6. I’m perfectly fine with this WS and will enjoy not having a team in there that I don’t want to win, which has been pretty common the past 6 years with Houston or LA in there every year.
  7. Yep, just learned this tonight. Had no idea prior to today.
  8. Lucky you not remembering Ron Washington not having Nelson Cruz further back (or removing him for a better defender) in Game 6.
  9. Anyone who argues for momentum in baseball existing just needs to be shown these two series. Houston was done after Game 2. Texas was done after Game 5. Arizona was done after Game 2. Arizona was done again after Game 5 (Philly is a monster at home!).
  10. Garcia going 4-5 with 2 dongs and 5 RBI in Game 7 is
  11. 4 out of 6. Lost in the LCS the other two years (18 and 20).
  12. After tonight, Schwarber is now tied for 4th in career postseason homers.
  13. LOL Jeter. Just try the hat on you goon.
  14. I think it was deserved. I understand the game situation part of it but it's an awfully big coincidence that a guy who hits a massive home run and celebrates, gets plunked on the first pitch, with a fastball, by a guy who had hit 3 guys in 72 innings this year in his very next PA. Oh, and the Astros were ticked earlier this year at a Garcia celebration following a grand slam. Could it have been an accident? Sure. But the optics sure don't look good at all. And again, you can certainly sell me on the game situation part (still a 4-2 game, nobody out but a runner on first). And it is the playoffs rather than the regular season. But I've got no issue with the umps taking preventative measures there.
  15. Though to be fair, the Marlins making the playoffs kind of is a smashing success for them.
  16. I know we all know the Coaches Poll is utterly useless but it’s still a disaster that I can’t help but look at. USC got demolished by Notre Dame, the only good team it’s played so far. Notre Dame has lost twice, but has played four teams currently ranked. So of course the coaches poll has USC above Notre Dame.
  17. Bat it down you say? Yes, I know batting it down is still the smart call 99 times out of 100 and definitely better than trying to catch the ball.
  18. Hey, it's something we can agree with Philly on! horsefeathers the Mets!
  19. Astros are a bad example. Made the playoffs in 2015, winning the WC game before losing in the ALDS, missed in 2016 and won the title in 2017.
  20. Don't worry guys, the 12 team playoffs won't last much longer. Soon enough, MLB is going to add 2 more teams, go to 8 divisions of 4 teams and have a 16 team playoff.
  21. The bye is still clearly better. Having the bye didn’t bother the Astros or Yankees last year. Houston was fine this year. Baseball playoffs are still a crapshoot and having a 100% chance of making the Division Series is better than a roughly 50-50 chance.
  22. It’s a little funny that Baltimore didn’t get swept all year, and hasn’t been swept since May 2022, but just got swept out of the playoffs.
  23. They were likely going to go as their SP went. Kershaw was really good this year but it's 50-50 on what he's going to do in the playoffs. After that, well...
  24. Yeah, had they just scrapped the South America portion, this wouldn’t be a big deal at all.
