Here's something crazy to think about:

There are four NL Central teams within 4 games of winning the division, yet none of them would be within 3 games of the 2nd Wild Card spot.
If at the beginning of the year, you had told me the Giants were going to have the 3rd worst record in baseball, and the Pirates would be just 4 games back of the Cubs but in 4th place, I would tell you the NL West was gonna suck and the NL Central was crazy good.

Like Liverpool, I think goaltending is going to be a problem for Arsenal this year. Cech is just about done.

Agreed. I think we are on borrowed time with him. as for the weekend matches there were so so many good ones. I cant believe Liverpool gave up that last goal. I could not watch as many as I wanted but the other thing that was amusing was the red cards flying.

Mignolet was a bit hesitant throughout the match. Would really like to see what they could do if Southampton is willing to give up Virgil Van Dijk. And need to figure out the Coutinho situation. He won't be playing tomorrow in their UCL playoff match.

Couldn't have asked for 2 better matches to start though. 13 goals in the first two.

Maybe if we get suckier net minders we can have more fun starts to the year. It was like Barnum and Baily out there.

I've heard that Arsenal is willing to make an offer of 50 million, and Liverpool would beat that. But there's a chance that Southampton is still pissed about the way Liverpool went about trying to recruit Van Dijk so they may take the lesser offer to spite Klopp.

Looks like Chelski is in on Virgil. We just need Lemar

The PL matches, along with the bonkers last 15 minutes of Juve-Lazio in the Supercoppa and a highly eventful Spanish Supercup Clasico (thanks to the ref, mostly) made for a bloody excellent weekend of soccer.

Who is your team?

In England? Historically I enjoyed watching United but I'm not really partial to anything other than Arsenal sucking (sorry LogicMan, I just can't stand Wenger).

But my background is Portuguese and other than Porto I don't really cheer or detest any teams in any of the major leagues.

Worth mentioning that Saints were sold to a Chinese group today. Wonder if that does anything to their transfer plans for the rest of the month.

Would be great to see Judge tie and set the record for most consecutive games with a strikeout this Saturday and Sunday at Fenway.

Yeah try convincing a new boss that you are going to just bench your best asset instead of take a massive transfer fee. And then tell them that you are going to sell, but you plan on taking a lesser offer because they don't like Liverpool.

I didn't suggest any of this?

Late to the party.... Had interview til 2 then work work work...

Go Devers!

Farrell with yet another brain fart leaving Barnes in the game, they having Reed throw 1 pitch... 1 and then trying to take it him out. Yeah, that's going to really help Reeds confidence. Screw you Farrell!

Chris Sale was fantastic yet again!

I guess I pissed off the Red Sox line-up with my earlier thread. Granted not sure if Nunez will be able to keep this tear up
