If you go over to the series thread, there's a dozen guys that can explain how it's all luck and that it's the Warriors that are blowing it.

I am still stuck on why are there signs in Detroit that say "Good Luck Cleveland, we are rooting for you."

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

LOL Thanks for the invite, but, with regrets, I must pass.

I'm not even a basketball fan, but I've been spending a bunch of time over there because it's more active.

No mention of the refs screwing them?

Really?

Wow, how pathetic do you have to be for DETROIT to feel sorry for you?

Cleveland should just go ahead and commit suicide

 

[obxyankeefan]

Really?

Yes on I-94 next to the airport. I about wrecked driving home when I saw it.

Nah, we can always look over at Pittsburgh and feel good about ourselves.

Good movie though.

If they seceded from the US and moved to Canada their economy would bounce right back, D-Time

Meh. I think he's a good manager. I also don't think, generally speaking, that managers make too much of a difference.

Hater.

I just got my cable bill that included the Pacquiao/Mayweather PPV. Man. Fuck those guys.

My Directv bill is up to $135 a month and we don't even have any of the movie channels.

Pop quiz: What’s the Red Sox’ record outside of their division?

Anyone who guessed that they were above .500 against non-AL East opponents wins a prize. (That prize comes in the form of the links below. The consolation prize for those who didn’t guess that fact is … also found in the form of the links below.) The Red Sox are now 17-16 when playing teams outside of their own division.

But against an AL East characterized as the most mediocre in decades, the Red Sox have been nothing short of dreadful. With a 5-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday, the Sox are now 10-17 in the division. They’ve been outscored by a shocking 41-run differential (140-99) in those contests. Since the beginning of May, the Red Sox have lost four straight series against their primary rivals, going 2-9 in that span.

Each loss against their flawed divisional opponents represents a missed opportunity. And right now, the Red Sox are missing plenty of opportunities.

And in some respects, the shutdown inning is something of a red herring. Porcello has a 5.26 ERA, which ranks 94th of 106 starters with enough innings to qualify for the ERA title. He ranks 75th of those 106 pitchers with a 4.25 FIP. In short, Porcello has not pitched effectively. A 10-hit, five-run yield in 5 1/3 innings represented a bad outcome, regardless of where the runs came.

That reminds me of a wild night I spent with a lithe, young coed on the University of Vermont campus.

Greetings, Champ.

I will look forward to that chapter in your biography Champ.

You bought that mess?! What were you thinking? Mayweather's fights are always boring as fuck

 

[Cyder]

LOL Mine too! Used to love playing golf. Then I smartened up and realized that spending lots of money to consistently frustrate myself was senseless.

I only learned that half way so know I spend less money on fishing to frustrate myself

 

[TDs3nOut]

Only 66 pitches for JA Happ to make it through two innings. Figures to be a long day for the M's pen.

Drunk. Bored. Worst part of it, the fight was so fucking boring, I fell asleep during it...

 

[TDs3nOut]

On the other hand, Sean Marcum has thrown only 47 pitches to get through three perfect innings, including four Ks.

Next time find a couple of homeless guys and have them fight over a twenty. Much more entertaining

Drunken naps are underrated, in my opinion.
