I didn't see anybody complaining about Mendoza using four different relievers to get through the four innings comprising innings number five through eight. I was certainly questioning, in real time, the one and out strategy for Garrett on the heels of his perfect inning on 11 pitches and then the s...

I got it, but in an odd order and without a lot of CAHNfidence in several of the tries despite the clean sheet.
Certainly never heard THREAD used in that context and took fliers on both Blue and Purple.

It'll be Edmonton Alberta vs Sunrise FL for Lord Stanley's Cup

Even if a pitcher were to consider the likelihood a gaining 'Ws' as an incentive, in order to shun the Mets they'd have to believe that the organization conducts restraining starters' decisions as some sort of strategy or policy. But y'know what's the biggest factor in limiting NYM starter wins? NYM...

All I've heard in a radio show was Hall is trying to stop Oates from selling his stake in a joint business venture , speculation was about their back catalog, but also included trademarks, personal name and likeness rights, record royalty income, and assets for their website and social media platfo...

If you keep looking for the reliever who might not have it that day you're bound to find one sooner or later. The previous three had all done quite nicely. The good news from the offense is that today it was them bunching their hits with two outs for multiple runs. The bad news is that they had no h...

Picking out designated villains for the last month is a fool's exercise. I've been saying that since they got him f rom the MFYs, and wasn't thrilled when they re-signed him - he's not dependable. The subject was the rough month of May both in the games they won and in the ones they lost. You boile...

This, or worse, is how it's been going for me lately.
Just one wrong guess after another.

Rangers, the best team in the regular season this year, eliminated in the third round of the playoffs.

Deciding not to wait for the June Swoon this year, the Mets had a 9-19 May Decay . And while we all know about the load of gut punch losses, it’s not like the wins were void of drama. Or, as in the words of the great English Philosopher Richard Starkey: Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the b...

The only thing I heard following the initial announcement of legal briefs flying around was a clip from an interview Hall was doing with someone. When that person referred to Oates as his 'musical partner' Hall interrupted with an indignant, 'You think John Oates is my musical partner?!? He's my bus...

Was mentioned in this thread although few facts are/were available so no discussion ensued.

And you folks was worried.

And I was just thinking that Christian Walker has been down right invisible so far this series.

Even the easy games aren't easy.

So the Dallas/Texas Rangers won the World Series last fall. And now the Dallas Mavericks are headed to the NBA finals next week while the Dallas Stars are in a 2-2 deadlock in a series which will send one team to the NHL finals. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, last got as far as an NFC championship g...

Two innings to go and I'm starting to think we've got a shot at this one.

That's some easy-lookin' opposite field power from JDM

To avoid confusion, I think one of the Logan Allens should be forced to change his name to Allen Logan.

This pretty much jives with the handful of opinions I heard last night in the aftermath of the verdict.
