The nickname of this matchup being “El Tráfico” still gets me every single time.

Frames my 2 error outing at the softball tournament last week in a better light. You hate to see it.  But if a pro has a tough night on the biggest stage imaginable then what the hell is a 40-something on two bad knees supposed to do at the hot corner against the Sheriffs Department team launching howitzer rounds at…

Postseason baseball continues to be one fickle, cruel, unpredictable bitch. Unless the light of fortune is shining upon your team, of course 

It was an incredible read and a laser throw. At first it looked like Lemahieu was crazy to try to score but on replay it was a good risk to win the game with Verlander so unhittable and Correia just came up huge. 

It’s absolutely degrading behavior. Teenager mob mentality.

If there is a baseline between exuberant celebration and disturbingly degrading behavior, these videos are a slow roller toward first that might not stay in fair territory.

Okay, so the videos are in Italian. As someone who took French in high school (which is very close to Italian), I can tell you that the umpire is not saying “I like to play sports with my brother” or “I would like to go to the store.”

I think this might be a bit premature. The scoreline against Newcastle is impressive, but Newcastle played the whole second half down a man. Leicester also got 5 goals on 5 shots on target. Even up a man outscoring a side 4-0 is impressive, but that is a pretty important detail.

Just spitballin’, but maybe don’t ride directly into the lake-looking thing?

He’s active on the court, but from the very little footage of actual shooting they showed, his jumper still looks like a weird push/set shot that he starts at chest-high.  He’s pushing with his wrist rather than snapping it.

That’s...not fixing anything.

I prefer fWAR over bWAR for pitchers and Cole is a little ahead in that. Fangraphs uses FIP to calculate pitcher WAR and BR uses RA/9, so Verlander benefits tremendously from his u sustainably low BABIP.

Lamar had some sick plays in that game (and you linked one). But I’m not sure why you focused on the two that were quite obviously the worst two pass attempts of the game. Both horribly ill-advised and pure luck on his part they weren’t picked.

Other than he hasn't played in 3 seasons while the other guys mentioned have been on the roster, practiced, and know the playbook.

I’m still here. Hope to write more on Bianca soon, probably the most impressive season in tennis.

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one worried about him

he looked like he was going to pass out any minute

Seriously. And my god if this guy is a Djokovic fan the richness of this comment would just be too much for my feeble heart to handle.

It wasn’t just the last set, his forehand was wild all night.  Dimitrov played as well as he can, and Fed played about as bad as he can, and it still went 5 sets.

I’d have to disagree with the idea that this is a typical case of a team “squeezing” or refusing to pay their star back his due. The Chargers initially offered Gordon 10-11 million per year, which would make him the 4th-highest paid back in the league. For a guy who had 885 yards rushing last year and a lot of…

About time Booker got defensive
