USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
Gotta be the most arrogant, imperialistic chant of all time. So, par for the course for England.

Haha yeah he's the poster boy. Coached in Vietnam, Ivory Coast, Angola, Saudi Arabia, and a bunch of other places where nothing scared him. And did so in every one of those places dressed in a crisp white shirt.

Surely there's a mercenary, a soccer coach soldier of fortune, that we can get for the 2026 cycle.

Not tracking trailing runs on either goal. This is fundamental stuff guys.

Did the Rangers pull another ARod? If memory serves, they gave him $252 million when the next highest bid was like $180 million?

Good for deGrom. Seager, Semien, and deGrom add to to...$700 million? Lol.

World Cup Day 13 - Groups G & H Final Matchday
That was a proper penalty, but ain't nobody feeling bad for Uruguay if there's a borderline call that goes against it vs. Ghana.

Sitting out is not much of a thing when major league contracts are guaranteed. But in theory, if a guy was unhappy with his deal, refusing to play is probably the only real option he has...not sure what the CBA says about that.

If this is it for Pina in Houston, then tip of the cap to a true gamer. In his prime, he was one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, we never got to see that third baseman hitting machine in MLB, though you could see flashes of it in Houston. And his AL batting title at the ripe old age of 37 was pretty sweet.

USA World Cup Match 2: England
Haji did his job but man I wish we had Pefok out there today. Harry freaking Maguire isn't man of the match for England if Pefok is playing.

USA World Cup Match 2: England
Our most in form player, who has been wrecking shop in England no less, one again starts on the bench. Damn it Gerrg.

USMNT 2022
My biggest concern is Kane, Mount, Sterling, and Saka eating our CBs' lunch. Tyler Adams is going to have to do a ton of defensive work.

I want to see frothing at the mouth CP10. The one that will give slow Welsh defenders nightmares running at and off of them.

Can't believe they released Forge without a custom game browser.

Funny. I think Pena's biggest hurdle is taking walks. He's at like 4%, and league average is probably 8-9%. If he gets there, coupled with the cutting down of this 25% K rate as he gets better at recognizing offspeed out of the zone (we saw it start to happen in October), you're looking at a 100ish point jump in OPS and a bonafide superstar when you factor in his defense at a most premium of positions.

The biggest heel moves would be to bring back guys hated by the rest of baseball for 2017. Guys like Correa, Luhnow, etc. But we aren't going to do that, so the next best heel move is to go get guys that cause Jomboy etc. to melt down again a la "The Astros got Greinke?!?!" Ohtani or bust.

Trout has 10/5 trade blocking rights, Ohtani does not. We are full of the most elusive thing in baseball --- young, controllable starting pitching. If we are gonna make moves, let's at least start by thinking big.

It is what it is. Even the Fox commentator couldn't resist on the last out, which will be replayed forever. Had to get in a cheap shot about 2019, saying "this time they finish the job." Whatever, let the hate flow, I'm happy being the New England Patriots of baseball...the Patriots won, a lot.

2022 Houston Astros Thread
Having been lucky enough to attend Game 6, I realize I missed the Fox announcers, especially Smoltz, slowly dealing with the Astros' championship inevitability. I hope it was as glorious and hilarious as I imagine.
