Non-Sharks NorCal Sports Thread XXVI

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Not Bay Area sports, but I can't friggin wait for tonight. Gonna be the highest-rated WS game in a long time.

If not the highest...

Don't hold those bats too tightly boys - you'll lose if you do...

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Go tribe.

What kind of crap sport can hold a whole 7 game series in 1 week? And they dare talk about fatigue?

It's more like two weeks since there's an off day for travel.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Baseball rules. What a great game and series.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Francona lost the Indians this game. More baserunners is always a great idea.

 

[weastern bias]

Cubs are champs, Cleveland already just won a title, what even are sports?

 

[DrFeelgood]

That was easily one of the best baseball games I've ever watched

Believe or not, the Sharks were actually in the finals too. Wild world.

Maddon almost lost it with his bullpen moves. Anyway, hell of a series. MLB ratings have been on the decline so this was a much needed shot in the arm for them.

The broadcast of Chicago Cubs’ 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings earned an overnight rating of 25.2, Fox announced on Thursday. It was the most-watched baseball game for Fox since Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, a decisive game that featured the New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks that yielded a 27.0.

The Indians got Chapman to lose all confidence in his fastabll, should've capitalized on his slider-only ninth.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Part of that was Chapman was running on fumes and breaking balls are easier to throw and locate when your arm is gassed.

 

[Wedontneedroads]

Oh to be a Cleveland fan.

Spend all summer and fall making 3-1 memes, drum sets, and cookies, and then this.

Not sure if I have ever seen such sweet karma dished out so quickly.

 

[rangerssharks414]

At least the Warriors are killing OKC?

(not a Warriors fan)

 

[HOOCH2173]

Headed up to SJ tomorrow. Then I get see the epic fail of the Niners on Sunday. Gotta use my Season Tix sometimes. since no one is buying.

Just as well.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I mean, I know they played last night, but what in the world happened to the Warriors? Losing by 20 to the Lakers?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Super teams always have chemistry issues early on. They'll go on a 20-game win streak here in a minute.

Kings started off giving a damn now they have stopped trying. I get that the roster is sub par but it'd be nice if they gave a damn.

If they continue this play with Collison in the lineup it'd probably be smart to do an actual rebuild, don't know if the brain trust is capable of it though.

It'll be sad if they don't trade Rudy Gay. I play fantasy even though I hardly follow the NBA anymore, and I read before the year that they don't plan on trading him even though he'll probably walk after the year.

It'll be sad if they don't trade Rudy Gay. I play fantasy even though I hardly follow the NBA anymore, and I read before the year that they don't plan on trading him even though he'll probably walk after the year.

I don't know if they could trade him. He's a 90s player stuck in the 2000s, and his only real significant value is as an expiring contract. But the Kings aren't in a good spot for either type of cap-dump trade because a) they're not good enough to pay a crappy team to take his contract and clear out current cap space to shore up holes in the roster and b) they're not willing to commit to a rebuild where they could trade him to a cap-strapped team to help the other team get some off-season relief in exchange for picks and prospects or whatever.

Plus there's the whole dumb sunk cost fallacy issue that the Kings might want to recoup their costs on acquiring Gay, and that sure as hell isn't happening now given his age, contract status, and play style (setting aside that like I note, it's a total fallacy to be guided by that logic anyway).

The 49ers offense is (was?) playing well, but they can't stop anyone. They just fumbled at the one.

The Raiders play a Sunday night game for the first time in a long time.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The 49ers set a new NFL record by allowing a 100 yard rusher for the seventh game in a row.
