  1. The Atlanta-Portland first half was really fun if you prefer your soccer played at a cocaine-binge level intensity. It was end to end, extremely chippy and, in typical MLS fashion, poorly officiated.
  2. Braves rally to take 2 out of 3 without Swanson, Markakis, Inciarte and Riley and with Freddie not getting a hit. Yeah, they missed Kershaw and Buehler, but that was a hell of a rebound. And I'm not getting into the whole Acuna-Snitker thing.
  3. My memory for things as gotten hazy, but when I think of Ced I seem to remember him putting the team on his back and grinding out yards in a win in Fayetteville in 2003. 29 carries, 188 yards and two touchdowns. Dude wasn't flashy. He was a work horse who got the damn job done. All-time great Longhorn. RIP, Ced.
  4. The Braves, with half a triple A lineup, beat the probable NL Cy Young Award winner. They got good innings from Greene and Melancon. Best win of the season.
  5. and nearly brawled at the end too. Great scene.
  6. - Segino Dest got his first start for Ajax today. - Zack Steffen had 9 saves in a 3-1 win in his Bundesliga debut for Fortuna Dusseldorf at Weder Bremen. - US U20 player Uly Llanez is off to a great start with Bremen's U19 team. He has 4 goals and an assist in two games.
  7. This might be my favorite penalty run up ever
  8. I was wrong. Teemu Pukki is going to be the best goal scorer in EPL history apparently.
  9. Yes. He was on the preliminary 40 man roster for the Gold Cup but wasn't selected for the final roster.
  10. Since July 23rd the Braves have won series against the Nationals, Phillies, Mets and Twins, split with the Reds and Marlins and got swept by the Royals. They're the dumbest team to ever be 22 games over .500.
  11. Wonder Boy!
  12. Homelander is the only thing that would get me invested in a season 2. I was tired of everyone else by the end of it.
  13. I'm on the Newcastle bandwagon because of Miguel Almiron. Don't root for Newcastle. They suck. I hate having to watch them.
  14. Fox Deportes reporting Edinson Cavani is going to Inter Miami when his contract is up at PSG next summer. I'm skeptical.
  15. Josef Martinez, who was questionable with an adductor injury, goes up over a defender and scores for the 10th consecutive game, a new MLS record.
  16. So Chelsea isn't as good without Eden Hazard? I'm kind of surprised by that.
  17. Willems sits back instead of going to get the ball allowing it to be stolen and then leaving one of the best goal scorers in the league wide open in the middle of the pitch. Newcastle is in peak form on match day one.
  18. Lamela steals the ball from Grealish and then his pass ping pongs off two Villa players right to Kane. What rotten luck there even if it felt like a second Spurs goal was coming.
  19. Never trust a man whose name is a sentence.
  20. A lot can change obviously, but right now Julio Teheran would be your #2 starter in the playoffs and I don't love that idea.
  21. Norwich earned promotion because of two things: - Teemu Pukki was insane. He had 29 goals and 9 assists last year. That's an obviously not sustainable production level in the Premier League - They were unbelievably clutch. They earned 19 points from the 9 goals they scored in the final quarter hour of games last year. They opted to try and keep the team together that won the Championship instead of trying to spend money and bring in new players. It was a bit of smoke and mirrors beyond Pukki that got them to the Prem. Making them start at Liverpool was just mean lol.
  22. Melancon has been fine. Martin made one bad pitch to Sano and that was after getting extremely unlucky with a bloop on a good pitch with two outs. I'll take the hit for that one because I was at the game Monday and opted not to go Tuesday so clearly that one was my fault. Greene has been a trainwreck and hopefully it's not the beginning of a significant regression only a mild one and he'll get better. To add insult that trade, the Braves actually could use Demeritte for a short period because Riley is going on the IL and Swanson isn't quite ready to comeback and they don't have a good option on the 40 man roster to come up and fill the extra position player spot right now.
  23. CCV spending another year in the Championship. Stoke should be a bit better than the Swansea team he played for last year and are expected to contend for promotion. Hopefully he can help them get there (for his sake, I don't care if the club does well or not)
