Kind of hard to believe the Wild haven't scored yet. 11 minutes left to hang on

Wild starting to getting really frustrated, a 2nd goal here can really put them on edge. So Bickell immediately heads to the penalty box

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Tigers don't get swept. It's in their DNA. One of three wins saves Robin's job? Two would have the Sox thinking wildcard again? Safe bet, Sox win one of three somehow. Only in the playoffs when it really matters

Has anybody ever been the best free agent signing in two straight offseasons? Nelson Cruz may take that title, what a monster so far.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) I think the layoff hurt the Cavs a bit. Is it just me or does LeBron seem a bit sluggish on the court these days? Obviously he is bigger and stronger than most, but I think his athleticism has fallen off a bit. MJ was able to weather that storm for quite a while. Maybe it was just Butler's defense. With the regular season & playoffs, he's only about 35 games behind MJ's Bulls career, and he didn't get a baseball break.

Under Coach Q, the Hawks are 1-9 in game 3s on the road. That's almost as ridiculous as their nearly perfect game 6 record under him.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 4, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) Bar none. Looked great. Hope Crawford doesn't have any ill effects from that shot to the head. What a puss from Keith to Kane. Sounds like someone was out on the town with the guys after the game, huh?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 3, 2015 -> 09:59 PM) Teuvo is twice the player Versteeg is. It only took an injury for the HOF coach to realize that! Last night was easily the best 60 minute game they have played in the playoffs so far

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) Floyd just seems too full of himself to blemish his perfect record, even for another $100 million, so I doubt a best of 3 happens. I see a close decision in Floyd's favor, close enough to keep enough buzz for a rematch.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 10:46 PM) It was average last year and they improved at most positions, even factoring in regression from Jose and even Eaton. That it's been league worst so far this year is just completely inexplicable IMO. Like rolling a dice and getting snake eyes 3 times in a row. In fact, it's so variant that I think some of it lies with lack of mental preparation and readiness stemming from Robin's poor leadership. I agree and don't really see any reason why Robin should keep his job right now, but I do wonder if people got their expectations a little too high

Apparently no bar in downtown Des Moines is showing the fight, so I got the hotel bar and Twitter. Go Manny!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 2, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Yet you watch college basketball? Gross. If they showed 10% as much effort during the season, then I would watch. But they don't, it's usually a walk through

The talent is lacking but there doesn't seem to be any emotion or interest in playing. I really don't see a good argument against firing Robin after Sunday.

3b, C, 2B were obvious holes CF was scrappy but S Pods on a good day 1b was due for some regression once the league got to know him DH always starts slow SS is old RF has talent but is unproven. Why are people so surprised the offense sucks? The ceiling was great but the floor was just as low.

I don't care to watch the NBA anymore, but this 4th quarter has been f***ing incredible

Bob Baffert seems like a major horse's ass

Go Carpe Diem!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) You can still watch Baez K, presumably. Schwarber will be there in June or July. Almora, possibly, and Edwards.... He was in the lineup, so was was Alcantara. Darwin Barney was too, but on the Dodgers. I gotta say though, that pitch clock made a huge difference. 4 innings were done in an hour with a bunch of runs scored.

Teuvo!!!!

Visiting family in Des Moines so we hit up the Iowa Cubs Game. What happened to all the good players?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 1, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) Perhaps true but that bat-slap-of-the-wrist was so damn innocuous. Yeah, he was wound kind of tight. But players have inflicted less on themselves with more tightly-wound moments than that one. Bad luck. Probably cost him an MVP trophy

Double jinx!

Wow, Caps with the game winning goal with 1.2 seconds left, don't remember a game winner that late.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) Even if Sale was on tonight, the Sox have 2 runs. The offense needs to get goimg. To be fair, if Sale was on tonight, 2 runs is enough. But you are correct that the offense needs to get going.
