Unhappiness is running after the guy you were supposed to block who is now going to sack your quarterback. CDRW: "Why didn't I get an orange jersey?"

We stopped scoring runs again.

Day one 2023, we won 65-0. We're great in September. What will be in November? That's the question.

Dodgers East? Milwaukee Plus? Inside David Stearns' plan to turn Mets into MLB's new model franchise

If everything's going to go wrong, it might as well be in one game. Alvarez will be out 6-8 weeks. Nido finally threw a runner out, first of the year for the Mets.

vs. discrimination in Miami in 1946:

Fans need to be investors, not just consumers.

I still think that if your QB isn't a dual threat guy, you need to be able to put two running backs in there at the same time, unless you've got a line that blows doors down on every play. On a passing play, the defense doesn't know who will get the ball and they should have some uncertainty on...

Not too much pizza, I hope.

I like it. Targets, YAC, how often each QB was sacked, Gain/Loss.

Reading these posts people seem to like the candor. Just don't be dull and repetitive.

Bring back #44!

When JB had his operation, Bernie Fine was the nominal interim coach. But I noticed he stood to the side and Hop ran the timeouts. That told me that Bernie wasn't head coaching material and Hop was. Today I saw Gary standing outside the huddle during a time out and an assistant was in the...

Just a few observations: - McCord looked good, getting the ball off quick and was accurate, even in the sense of throwing the ball where the defense can't get it, even if it winds up incomplete. There was one ball that he threw right to a linebacker who had jumped the route. Also, he's not a...

I watched Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia tonight. I felt Haney was going to out-box Garcia, who had been knocked out by Tank Davis. Both were basically lightweights and the taller Garcia more of a welterweight but if Davis could beat him, so could Haney. Haney's not really a knockout guy so I was...

It probably hurts quite a bit. ;) Ron Darling said he had a similar injury once and his thumbs was in a cast for 5 weeks.

6 in a row, 12 of 15, 5 straight series wins, all against teams with winning records.

Tonkin's back! We got rid of him and so did the Twins, who dumped him. The Mets picked him up and just gave up two runs.

Even the cookie cutters had a longer distance to center field than right or left.

My sanity pleads the 5th.

There's something to be said for the bottom of the order hitting .290.

Milwaukee Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers 9/29/59

Chuck gave me some lessons and sold me some clubs, (it didn't work: I'm more of a miniature golfer than the real thing). But he was a nice guy. he was in my mother's English class back in the day. A real nice guy and a good ambassador for the game.

The Dodgers just sent up a pinch hitter whose last name is "Outman". He made an out. :cool:

Where'd ya get the $6.1 billion?

Dino wishes they'd have been willing to spend that money on his staff.

Maliq will likely regret leaving SU as much as Joe Girard did. :cool:

Some people don't know the history of Syracuse basketball.

Yeah. We'll never root for these guys like we rooted for Leo Rautins, Wes Johnson, Michael Gbinije, Andrew White, John Gillen or JJ Starling. "When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way!"

Those guys were not thought of as one and done. Chris McCullough, yes, Benny and Judah, maybe - but no.

Here's a good trivia question: what venue has hosted more NFL games than any other? It's Wrigley field, where the Bears played from the 1920's to the 1960's. What's interesting is that one end zone had to be truncated because that's where one of the dugouts was, (see to the right end zone at the...

I think the disparity is so obvious people don't feel the need to point it out. That's why being "left behind" in a post super-conference world might be a blessing in disguise: we'd be competing with schools who really are at the same level instead of wrestling bears.

The problems started with the weird 2019 season. Everyone thought "SU is back!" Then came the Maryland debacle, (which cost us GameDay) the horrendous second quarter vs. BC and other disappointments. Williams' steal and score vs. Wake prevented a 4-8 follow-up to a 10-3 season. Then we got hit...

And this is without Senga and Megill. By the way, what's up with JD Martinez? Is he injured or just outa shape? At 36 he can't afford the latter. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39894765/jd-martinez-mets-debut-delayed-conditioning-continues

The Mets won again to get in the black for the year at 9-8. Their bullpen pitched the last four innings without giving up a run, despite not using any of their top 3 relievers. They've now won four series in a row against teams that were a combined 30-13 when those series started. The key to the...
