I really like NBCSN's EPL coverage, but it is missing Ian Darke's voice.
also, nice easy inning for Hendriks. It seems like he doesnt get enough of those.
Nice easy inning for H x 2.
now that I think about it, the starting pitching staff as a whole do not get many easy 1-2-3 innings
Consuela-biscuit!
Sweet. It's been a while since we've seen one of those.
WILLINGHAMMER
that was a blast
Wouldn't that be a great tat (Hello my name is Consuela - and the bitchin' tag)? I'm thinking upper bicep.
Or the "Sure!" speech-bubble.
Parms-baby! Let's keep this train a rollin'.
ooooh, that corner kick was almost converted.
oh hey, Parms is back with the big league club. yay
Biking buddy's name is Voigt (same family as Jens Voigt of Tour de France fame) - same prononciation as this boyo.
that half of soccer seemed like it was played at break neck pace.
it might be me, but I think its crazy that there is a few weeks left of the season and this is the FIRST GAME against Oakland.
I was surprised by that as well when I was looking at the remaining games on Friday.
this works for any situation.
Newly balanced divisions means fewer games against AL West.
problem with these losing seasons is that it allows too much time browsing eBay. Just picked up a Koskie auto and a couple nice Puckett cards I needed. Gixen has been a big boon for me, to my wife's chagrin
EDDIE JOHNSON!!! woooo!!!!
Grown-Ass Man!!!
HendriKKKKKs
His pitch count is up, but he's doing nicely. I blame pressure from Cole
sad face
wellcrap.
Alberto Callaspo? I really dislike that guy!
44 career HR's, SIX off Twins pitching.
YDOROJP!
what's with sogard's hipster glasses?
Presley's walkup song was 'Interstate Love Song' by Stone Temple Pilots
I approve
I would have preferred "Roustabout"
oh my Landycakes!!!!
Dazzle all GOML re: Moneyball, although now regarding Oakland's use of platooning, which he's calling "Platoonball", all this after Provus listed a stat that teams that platoon have a .015 better BA
yeah, dumb.
geez Dazzle, drop it already!
Like a dog with a bone.
I don't think I've ever seen a man prouder of his ignorance than Dazzle.
6 K's for Hendriks ties a career high
that is a low strikeout total for a career high
I miss the days of Johan striking out 6 in the first inning
Or Baker.
well, that was an unexpected double play
They must do that a little differently in Cuba.
ARCIA'd!
HRcia!
just like Willingham's, that was one a blast
Line drive homeruns are the best.
Arcia hit that ball a looooong way.
bases loaded and one out? I already know the runs scored probability for that scenario 🙁
-14.5
These 2-0 wins against Mexico in Columbus never get old.
No they do not.
is Columbus Ohio a super hot bed of soccer? it seems like a lot of national games are played there
The Crew's stadium was the first one built specifically for a MLS team. The USSF gives them this game because of that and their ability to get pro-US crowds.
Yep, and now there's a strong tradition of strong US showings, both by the team and supporters, there so they continue to schedule big matches there.
Also, there's no Mexicans there. My understanding is that the USMNT always offers to play the Mexico game in a more "neutral" location like Houston or LA, but Mexico will never agree to move the US game out of Azteca and to somewhere that isn't a mile high and full of smog.
With a 2-2 draw between Honduras and Panama, the US of A is going to the the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil! 🙂
I'm very happy, but I'd still like to qualify #1 for seeding purposes.
I concur. Jamaica at home, Panama away. Very doable.
The question becomes balancing starting the right guys to win those games vs. resting who you can/hedging against injury.
I wouldn't mind Jurgen trying to find a competent left-back for the first time in USMNT's history.
Perkmatic. Easy peasy, hammer time.
puppies & fireworks & strippers & firetrucks
Perkins throwing obligation to the wind.
Bird of War win, Twins win. Super Fantastisch!
Josh Willingham had a revelation. He'd seen Brian Duensing come out of Gardy's office, and asked him what the manager had said. "Pitchers pitch, batters bat, and managers think," had been the response.
Suddenly his struggles became clear to him. He'd been thinking. He'd been thinking about his hands, thinking about his feet, thinking about his stride, thinking about what the pitchers might throw. Thinking, thinking, thinking.
All that thinking was hurting him and hurting the club. "No more!" he resolved. "Tonight, I'm not going to think. I'll let Gardy think, and I'll just bat."
It worked. After the game, a jubilant Josh Willingham said, "Gardy's a genius!"
