  1. Starting pitcher gives up 3 in the first inning of a Wild Card game, what can go wrong?

  2. I just got here, but I see the Rockies are already on their third pitcher in the third inning. That's usually not a positive thing.

    1. 66-59 lynx lead with 8 minutes to go. LA starting the fourth in complete disarray. If the lynx can stay focused, they'll go against the Minnesota sports grain.

  3. At least the Twins were in the game for a while. The Rockies are getting blown out early.

  4. Greinke's 3.2 innings was the longest outing by a SP during these opening WC games. Ouch

    1. Last year the shortest start was 4.1 innings by Chris Tillman. Bumgarner had a shutout and Syndergaard went seven innings.

    1. I get that it's an elimination game and so you do whatever you have to do to win it and worry about the next game when it gets here. Having said all that, I think there's also an extent to which you have to trust the people you used all season.

  5. Lynx nearly blow a 10-point lead in the final 2 minutes, but hold on to win the title. Sylvia Fowles wins MVP with 20 rebounds in Game 5 to set a WNBA Finals record for one game.

      1. No. Lynx were falling apart against trapping defense. It shouldn't have been that difficult. They just had to avoid turnovers and not fouling on shot attempts.

        1. Wonder why they kept electing to advance the ball out of the timeouts and boxing themselves into the corner on the inbounds pass.

        2. "No." !?! You do realize there was another championship-winning team out there playing some pretty solid trap defense. There were self inflicted turnovers to be sure, and the Lynx could have done more to adjust after the first trap resulted in a turnover, but let's not act like they were unopposed on the parquet.

  6. Im surprised they are pitching to Lucroy. He's smoked the ball all over the park all night.
