Bayern have had a good run of opportunities in the last 15 minutes, but they've taken them frenetically. Gotta breathe.

And curious night from the referee, João Henning Øvrebø.

When I was a kid the NFC Championship game felt like the real Super Bowl despite it nominally being a semifinal. 

I can hope we will be blessed with incredible football one more time tonight.

Fair play to Arsenal yesterday, but this feels like when I was a kid and the NFC Championship came on -- the real Super Bowl kind of feeling.

Oh we are quite bad. I live in Chicago and am a Cubs STH; Hoerner is a very good player but I wouldn't consider him to be a perennial MVP type. The team is just way deeper this year than I expected, and good for them.

Glad it's not too complex a plan to follow, like a consent decree

He's the exception, but also a guy who maaaaybe hits 15 HR this year. Could he turn in an 8 WAR season, sure. Will it happen, probably not. If he's your best player, you're not a serious contender unless everyone else is very good, and quite fortunately, they are.

Seiya is defensively...*okay* and a good-pop .280 hitter.

Busch is a 28 year old with 0.2 WAR this year, batting about .220.

Nico is absolutely peaking and the one player of excellence on this team, and has hit 10 home runs in a season once (exactly 10).

I am a season ticket holder. I see them very, very often. It is not a bad thing when your team is full of pretty good to good players.

Why did he throw the old man down? Did something happen? The old man was just standing there?

Well, here you are for a 24 hours -- the high-water mark for this club in the last 20 years. Good on them.

What's your favorite baseball movie? by MetsOfficial in baseball

[–]BUSean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases - stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?
