They had time to fire out an article about a Browns 7th round draft pick jumping into a pool, so there’s that. Also, a while ago doesn’t really apply as it was 2 days before or the previous game in a series. And the fact that it was automatically going to be compared to Orpik is completely relevant. But cool, bro.…

Did I miss the post from Saturday night with Orpik’s hit? This was late, and just stupid on Letang’s part, but to highlight this one and not Orpik’s, which was worse, is swell. 1 game for Letang.

No rhyme or reason to their playoff scheduling. Today in San Diego you couldn’t watch the Ducks/Preds game. While I understand it’s comical to complain about because why does San Diego care about hockey? But they showed about 50 Ducks games on Fox Sports SD during the year and just added their AHL affiliate here who…

While not wrong, I would say it is as much about non traditional positions the Pirates routinely put their fielders in due to shift philosophies. Easy way to screw up routine footwork. Kang just didn’t have the time to adjust. Doesn’t make the slide any better.

It was a semi serious question, but if you’ve ever had the honor of turning a double play you’d rather have a guy act like an idiot and throw up his hands, etc. than slide tackling straight into your knees.

For general Cubs hate or this?

No.

I didn’t liken a baseball game to free throw contest. I likened the body of work of a 162 game season being decided by 9 innings to a free throw contest. Throughout a whole season you will never find a 1 game series (make up games excluded). The strategy that gets you what you are is completely negated by saying we’re…

I’m pretty sure his sentiment would be the same if the Cubs lost because they had the 3rd most wins in baseball this year. Perhaps this year is a true anomaly, but forcing the 2nd and 3rd best teams in a 162 game season into a free throw shooting contest sucks.
