4-time World Cup Champions Italy have just missed out on the World Cup. Sweden going, Italy out. If USMNT players think American criticism is bad, that's nothing compared to what these Italian players will get from their media.

Just about every Justin Turner AB this series has been really impressive. Man, what a tough out he is.

Some people are angry at Puig for having fun. Then he tweets this: https://twitter.com/YasielPuig/status/919418124692209664 LOL

That was an extremely poorly played game by the Nats. They quite literally handed the Cubs that game and they still barely won it.

I'm sure the tone of my posts comes off as harsh but it's not directed at you or anyone here at all. I am pissed off at this team, at USSF, at all of it. It's utter bulls*** that this country does not qualify for the World Cup coming out of CONCACAF, but here we are. It's going to take me a very, very long time to get over this. (As you may be able to tell, I am a massive soccer guy. US soccer matters to me very much so.)

Losing to Puerto Rico in a f***ing basketball game didn't knock us out of the biggest sporting event on the planet. There is no comparison for me, sorry.

The most disappointed I have been in anything, maybe in my entire life. There need to be changes from top to bottom. f*** Gulati. Learn how to hire a real manager next time. f*** Arena. Learn how to select your best 11. I'm sick and f***ing tired of the excuses. "Wah, it's so hard to play away games in CONCACAF. The conditions are just brutal." f*** you. Lalas was right to call these guys out and basically say, "Nut up or shut up." Well guess what f***ing happened? This is the biggest embarrassment in U.S. sports history. Yes all sports. A f***ing pathetic effort by the team tonight. There was no heart. No passion. No urgency. Nothing. Everyone standing around with their thumbs up their asses. Everyone in USSF deserves the harshest of criticisms right now. I hope the soccer media in this country tears them to shreds because they are f***ing s***. If only I had a very public soccer voice the way guys like Grant Wahl, Taylor Twellman, Alexi Lalas, etc. have in this country. The s*** that I would be saying on television right now would be unprecedented. I'd make Jim Mora's playoffs rant or Lee Elia's 1983 Cubs rant look like a f***ing children's cartoon in comparison. I'm royally, ROYALLY f***ing pissed off and I feel I have excellent reason to be. Not that what I say matters, but I demand changes from top to bottom. We had better f***ing get them. What a f***ing embarrassing day to be a fan of this side. This is the worst loss in the team's history. f***.

Panama eventually was pretty much out to injure Pulisic. Kid had a huge game. Huge win and I feel sooooo much better now. On to T&T and then let's go to Russia!

Maybe Rodon is playing the wrong position.

Bour is 29 already. No thanks.

I both love and hate a trade like this. Oh, I love it for the Sox. I hate it because I know a few people who were high as hell on Eloy after his The Natural moonshot a few weeks ago, and now they're all, "Oh I was always worried about his bat anyway." Happens with every trade, but it is annoying to hear it.

Wow

Not saying Eaton is/was a great teammate (thinking of the whole Drake LaRoche thing) but wasn't Montero one of the most vocal guys from the Dbacks bashing Eaton when he was sent to the Sox?

#Blackhawks acquire defensemen Connor Murphy and Laurent Dauphin from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. https://twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks/status/878281711628435457

The answer is obvious:

Hey Chicago what do ya say You just got swept by the Padres

"Who? Me? Me?" :lol:

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 1, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) The bullpen is also lights out. They are killers right now. Give it time. The bullpen started the year lights out last season as well. I have faith that this team will start to suck at a high level soon.

That was a fun game to watch.

Shields threw a pitch so slow that inning that Gameday says it was an Eephus:

Speaking of bad defense...

Yikes, Jose.

I don't understand the reluctance to move around in the batters box. Verlander kept busting Asche inside where he'd never hit it, yet he still stood so close to the plate.
