It means they’re trying to get you to buy tickets before Messi announces he’s going to Saudi Arabia.
-
Pretty standard stuff for the Cubs.
-
Sigh.
-
Solid fake rally in progress here.
-
And not even the weirdest thing to happen the last two days because the A’s beat the Braves twice.
-
Well that was an enjoyable watch. I'm both shocked and not shocked at the result. Shocked because I can't believe Miami bounced back from a devastating Game 6 loss. But not shocked because this Boston team lays eggs from time to time. They couldn't close out a crappy Atlanta team at home in Game 5. They lost at home in Game 1 to Philly who was without Embiid. They got handled at home in Game 5 against Philly with the series tied 2-2. Then this series where they lost the first two at home and then no-showed Game 3.
-
Tatum has a hurt ankle and Miami is content to just let him sit in the corner on defense every possession. The Knicks did this too when Butler hurt his ankle and I don't understand.
-
The Cubs have the worst record in the NL which means it's time for this. Also, the A's have a -199 RD. The Royals are only at -76.
-
Might be time for the Fecal League Standings. If you're not going to do it when the team has the worst record in the NL, when is the good time to do it?
-
The 2 that come to mind are the 0.4 Fisher shot, though that was only the conference semis, and the Ray Allen shot in Game 6 of Miami-San Antonio since the Spurs probably win the title if he misses that.
-
Agreed. Philly is a better team than Miami but I felt the same way after Game 6 in that series too. That game was there for the taking for them tonight. Boston didn't play all that well and Miami was 0,2 seconds away from finishing it off.
-
Ugh box out Miami, come on.
-
Bam and Jimmy 5-28 so far tonight. Not great.
-
Not too surprising since it’s their worst season points wise since 10-11.
-
Looks like they briefly had a lifeline as Bayern was tied for about 8 minutes. Not anymore though.
-
LOL Dortmund down 2-0 at home in the first half.
-
Nice to be on the opposite side of one of these where in this case we won 2 of 3.

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others

Ken Griffey Jr is the 4th highest paid player for the Reds this year. As part of his contract, he got just under $3.6M in deferred money each year through 2024. -
I looked up 3 recruiting sites and he’s ranked 19, 21 and 26. Seems like a bit of a stretch to say he’s going to be a top-14 pick. He certainly could be, of course. But he’s not even in the top-14 among incoming freshman and that doesn’t account for any Euro guys or So/Jr/Sr who might be lottery picks also. He’s going to have to make a leap at USC this year.
-
I think it’s going to be similar to the 2020 Finals for Miami. Denver is on a heater right now and it’s going to take something special from Miami to beat them.
-
Like you said, it will eventually. But this could be a Brady like trajectory. There are the reports that he spends $1M per year on his body. And certainly some injury luck involved too. But when you start at such a high peak, and you're fortunate to have smoothed the aging curve better than anyone else has in your sport, you can still be at 80-85% (or whatever it is) of what you once were. And whatever percentage of LeBron that is, it's still a very, very good player even at his age. That being said it's super impressive that he hasn't had some huge dropoff. It's more of just little dropoffs here and there. He can't go all out all the time. He's not quite the defender he once was and doesn't get those chasedown blocks with regularity.
-
Odds are the only players we’ll be trading for in the summer are minor leaguers.
-
Me tuning in to the Cubs game today.
-
Bayern lose at home to Leipzig meaning Dortmund can win the title by winning their last two games. Can’t wait to see which one they blow.
-
Ended up as the 6th longest playoff game ever.
