I'm flipping back and forth between the Badgers/Game 3.

Though if one of them goes bad I’ll probably stop…

Me too ... Badgers need to step it up here before the half.

Horrible ending to that game

There was no indisputable evidence to overturn the call made on the last play. They should have let it go to overtime and let it play out there.

Yes, I realize that the ball probably did cross the line. However, from every camera angle, you can never actually SEE THE BALL. Because you have to have INDISPUTABLE evidence to overturn a call, you cannot overturn that call unless you can actually SEE THE BALL.

Fourth time I'm posting this in one place or another, but:

Regardless of what else happened, if Bielema doesn’t use ALL THREE of his time outs to stop the clock while MSU has the ball, they wouldn’t have had time for that play at all.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Yeah, I'm not arguing about the questionable strategy at the end.

I just think the way it ended was horrific.

By the way, I just heard that Pujols hit 3 HR tonight. Wisconsin sports fans, stay away from SportsCenter tonight.

Just absolutely terribly managed game by Bielema

You’re 100% correct: there was NO REASON that play should have even happened.

be sure to wake up on November 5th

AFL Rising Stars Game. IIRC it’s usually on MLB Network. Scooter Gennett has a chance to be named to the team with the way he’s been hitting.

Umps giftwrap another run for the Cards

What the hell else is new?

by Cheeseandcorn on Oct 22, 2011 8:17 PM CDT reply actions

Have there been no blown calls that went against the Cardinals this postseason?

Or does it just seem that way?

I didn't see much of the Cards-Phils series

But the Cards have definitely had almost zero to complain about with the umps in the Brewers series or so far in this one. The umps did blow the Pujols call at the plate in Game 6, but they more than made it up to Cards by the end of that game.

by Cheeseandcorn on Oct 22, 2011 8:50 PM CDT up reply actions

La Russa still finds stuff to complain about.

Remember how he complained about the strike zone during a game in the Cardinals-Phillies series?

I don't know if it works

But my guess is he does that for the same reason Phil Jackson complains about the refs. Sometimes, in the NBA at least, it seems like an effective way of getting more calls to go your way.

In that game

It actually turned out the ump’s zone was biased towards the Cards

Between the Wisconsin-MSU game and Pujols' three home runs

God is trolling the state of Wisconsin so hard tonight.

by Cheeseandcorn on Oct 22, 2011 11:22 PM CDT reply actions

I discovered the end of a bottle of Glenfiddich in my basement...

So I killed that off instead of the bullshit on Fox, the bullshit on ESPN, or any other disappointing bullshit in my immediate are tonight.

And yet somehow I know what happened. Avoidance-drunk fail.

Terrible things in sports today

Pujols’ game is called the “greatest world series game ever” even though he figured in only one of the Cards’ first eight runs, and all his HRs came after the winning run scored. Reporters have no sense of history. And then The Badgers’ perfect record and BCS bid get flushed on an instant replay overturning the referee call with time expired.

Makes me want to vomit.

Verducci's Pujols-hyperbole-gasm:

“Lincoln at Gettysburg. Hendrix at Woodstock. Pujols at Arlington.”

What a hack.

Oh my gosh is that awful

by Zack Greinke's Paxil on Oct 23, 2011 8:40 AM CDT up reply actions

Woodstock was actually a pretty pedestrian performance by Hendrix's standards

If you’re gonna hyperbole, do it better, Verducci.
