OT: Other Sports 80

[plasmonresonance]

Man, Mizzou had a couple gutchecks at the end there to lose it to Auburn.

Thankfully, I'm an Illini fan, so I'm okay with a bunch of disappointed boys and girls down in Columbia, MO.

Went to Mizzou and stumbled upon the televised game with about 2 min to go in the 4th Q. Not sure I've ever seen a team blow an easier win by it's inability to do a couple of simple fundamentals. Now I wish I hadn't even stumbled upon the game.

I see the Sox, not content with getting ignominiously swept by the team they're chasing, are doubling down on the humiliation by getting thrashed by Detroit of all people. Lovely.

Guardians officially win AL Central

Sox once again let Cease down

Just a few more games left in this miserable season

 

[Clownish]

Aren't the Sox where they were generally picked to be in the division this year? Sheesh you all are dramatic about a .500 team.

What are you talking about?

The Aussie Rules Football team that I “like” apparently won the AFL Grand Final the other day.

I need to pay actual attention to that league rather than forgetting about it for months on end.

Good. Good riddance. What a colossal f*** up.

Addition by subtraction for the Sox, though I hope folks aren't celebrating his ill health.

Nah, I don't wish ill on the man. Even being as old as he is(so there could be truth to the health stuff), I could see this as some ploy by Jerry to not have to fire the man, and give him an out to save face after being what I would say is the worst manager hiring by the Sox in their history. It just seems so convenient that he was a terrible manager, he's Jerry's ol' buddy, and he now has health concerns that will keep him from coaching again, just around the time of the season when most teams would look to fire their failing manager.

If he's actually ill, then I wish him good health. I'm not so sure I actually believe he has serious health concerns, though.

Love a good Sopranos meme. And that's a quality one that fits so well with good ol' Junior's character.

Ryan Field is more than a bit of a dump, albeit a cool dump, but…



… spending $800 million on a stadium that seats 12,000 less just seems odd.

Do they even sell out now? Could be so the stadium actually looks full

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

It's privately funded go nuts.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I wonder if they will play in the interim in Soldier Field so that they can finally be "Chicago's Big Ten Team*" for real.

* in reality, still maybe the fifth most popular Big Ten team in Chicago at best.

 

[SimpleJack]

I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.

Dealer plates. Lol

Lol wtf?

 

[ChiHawks10]

Lol wtf?

Right? Most had them as winning the division in a landslide, and also easily being one of the top 3 teams in the entire AL... Not sure where that came from.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Truth be told, I wasn't really buying the Sox back in spring, but then again a lot of that had to do with La Russa.

 

[Clownish]

Lol wtf?

I agree.

Sox may end up with a better pick than the cubs in the draft next year

 

[TLEH]

The fact this cubs team won as many games as it did in the second half is a credit to the players and to the staff

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The Cubs did something kind of neat for a change?



I spotted a few points where they obviously spliced different videos/drone runs together, but nice illusion of a continuous shot.
