All this exactly, plus, there was always the chance Maddon tapped someone else for the pinch hit. And keeping pitching options available for later was still worthwhile. Forcing Chapman out of the game was absolutely worth the risk a possible Montero at-bat (or someone else) posed, even with Blanton starting to fatigue…

+1 This should’ve been the article.

Yeah, as others have said, lots of facts wrong here. First and foremost, there were two outs in the inning which negated the need for anything other than a force out, pop up, etc.

Besides your irrelevant math—the NCAA isn’t the entity that gives players scholarships, schools and conferences made much more money combined than the $912 million of the NCAA, only about 60 percent of that $912 million goes to schools and even less of that to athletes, etc.—the fact that there are numerous sensible…

Looks like a 7torm is coming to Buffalo!

Phil Mushnick isn’t going to need any Cialis this weekend

They can’t bring in Kaepernick, if he ever takes a knee to close out a game he will be disrespecting the military.

I thought “double-elimination” games were something that only happened in double elimination tournaments. Where two losses send you home. The double elimination game in that scenario is a game between two teams that each have one-loss.

Well apparently Doug Baldwin has something in common with most of my extended family in that he believes everything he reads on Facebook.

I’m not sure how helpful this is going to be. Canadians all look the same to me, with their beady little eyes and flappin’ heads full of lies.

They aren’t going to win 74 games, and after last season’s, uhhh, let’s just call it a debacle

Funny, Adrian Peterson’s son’s face is imprinted on his cleats too.

You’re standing on the field! What the fuck are you looking at?

Thats is one of hell of a takeaway from all of this.

Ha, when I saw the first pic, I was like, “Jesus!” And then I saw the guy’s face and it was actual Jesus.
