Houston again on the bullshit end of replay. Last night, evidently there wasn’t enough evidence to over-turn the out call on Altuve. But a few weeks ago in Oakland, there WAS enough evidence to over-turn the out call on Laureano, allowing Oakland to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th (and eventually win in 10). I’d…
FWIW - Wimbledon, now that is has a roof on Centre Court, only doesn’t have the 2:00a potential because of a locally imposed curfew (11:00p I think). The Rafa-Djokovic semifinal from a couple months ago would otherwise have lasted into the wee hours. It’s less likely there, because they don’t have night sessions. But…
Maybe check Herbert’s while you’re at it.
That’s some good apologizing and responsibility taking, at least. No “I’m sorry if anyone was offended by my illegal investing” crap.
Further to this point... with the internet (and surely some researchers) available, it doesn’t take a lot of prep work between Sunday night and Monday morning to know a lot more than “nothing” about the subject matter... certainly enough (with the other skills already in place) to do her job well. Might be concerned…
What, no discount you can offer?
Excellent pitch framing by the catcher, who thusly secured his place in heaven.
Weiters looked like Carl Spackler stumbling away after he blew up the whole golf course.
Never heard of “Wimbledon,” the soccer drill... but please tell me it involves two players one-timing it back and forth. Or, even more inside-tennisy, everybody practicing “volley” shots on goal.
This is awesome. Could maybe include Thuuuuuuuuh CruSHER!!!
Was watching a game once and some dude badly shanked what was intended to be a long cross - like a corner kick - but it pretty much went a mile straight ahead into the crowd. Without missing a beat, the announcer said, “That’ll be three off the tee.” Brilliant.
No breaks in 1st or 2nd sets. They traded breaks in the 3rd. Anderson broke twice (to Isner’s once) in the 4th. No breaks in the 5th but we’ll get (at least) one eventually.
Reporting for duty. This is good shit (when it’s not every match).
If it’s true that Lebron alone can beat anybody, maybe he’s doing this right: Get to the Western Conference on a team that’ll get the 7th/8th seed, so you face Golden State right away, while you’re still fresh (and perhaps they’re not at full sail)... rather than in the Finals after 20 games of carrying those random va…
Is there really not another objective category that would make sense before “fair play” kicks in? Time of possession? Shots on goal? Corner kicks? Coolness of uniforms?
Not sure I can reply to comments that are “pending approval,” but feel the need to make sure it’s clear I was (poorly, perhaps) just playing off the Stalin thing.
Think what you will about Luis Suarez, but there’s no denying he’s one of the most formidable goal scorers in soccer history.
That match vs. Murray was so weird. He was clearly injured, or at least that seemed to be a factor in some of the unusual - even by Nick’s standard - way he played out some of the points. And then there’s this:
Rambong has been watching too much World Cup. Such a flop.
Also, and I’m not a regular hockey watcher so perhaps this isn’t such a big deal... but that seems like a great call by Doc Emrick. “Oshie, inside the four-man defensive box... got it... SCORE!” It’s like he saw it coming.
