Went to the game tonight, have never seen a more improbable game. 2-2 for a while, then 3-2 Pirates, looked like it was going to end that way. Cards get a run late to tie it up, no one scores in the 9th. Pirates put Melancon in the 9th, Cards threw some other guy out there, Tuivailala, neither team scored. Top of the 10th, Cards scored 2 runs off Arquimedes Caminero to make it 5-3. Bottom of the 10th, Cards bring out Rosenthal and his (at the time) less than 1 ERA. Looks like that's game, a quarter or so of the fans left. I was still there and it paid off huge. Mercer leads off with a single, but then Walker and McCutchen get out, one on, two outs and need two runs to extend the game. Not looking good (btw, McCutchen went 0-5 and broke his consecutive games hitting streak). Marte singles, Mercer gets all the way around to score. Kang singles (barely), Marte to 2nd. At this point it still kind of looked like delaying the inevitable, even with the tying run in scoring position and the winning run on base. Two outs still, so any non-hit and it's game. Cervelli singles, Marte scores, Kang to third (just beat the throw). Ishikawa comes in to pinch hit for Rodriguez, I don't quite understand that one but it didn't matter because they walked him and loaded the bases. Polanco singles and Kang comes in for the winner. 3 runs off Rosenthal in a single inning, when we'd scored 3 runs the whole game on worse pitchers. No big hits to keep things going, just single after single after single after single, and a walk thrown in for good measure. The pitching coach and catcher went to the mound for a meeting before the last pitch of the Cervelli at-bat, and one pitch later, just before the Ishikawa at-bat. That was the single craziest ending to a game I've ever seen. The atmosphere seemed like a playoff game, or at least the game to clinch the playoffs, not just pulling to within 2 1/2 of the division. That said, 13 of the last 16 for the Pirates, I would not want to be the Cards right now!

A first and then some, for a guy you'll only have for a month. I thought I was willing to mortgage the future, but at least I want decent rates to do it, this makes overpayments look fair it's so bad.

Exciting and win = boring and win. The point is that boring is fine, results are what matter.

You know who else is considered boring? Chelsea, who just won the Premier League. If Oslo can get results like they do, I'll be boring every year.

did not know this was a thing

Stay tuned for week 2's massive twist, where we reveal the other half of the houseguests: members of the VBVL, Victory Beach Volleyball League!

Soccer much prefers a bad acronym to a good acronym

I'm kind of ok with Wondo being there, the more noobs you add at the same time, the more chance that some of them screw up over nerves. Bring in a few, but keep some vets on there too, let the cooler heads prevail and then bring in the rest of the noobs in a friendly or something.

Obviously, but the way the sarcasm went, it seemed to imply that people who are good and law abiding are religious. That's not necessarily a thing I would equate. Not bringing a religion debate to a sports thread, though.

What does religious have to do with it?

I know better than to think the claim will hold, but Oslo claims Lucas Zhukenov

Oh and hillsy

Voss, Mr. 2nd round Manship, new leagues much? The infinitely weird Jon Cruze

Oslo claims Kane Hamilton

>loses to a team >talks about how terrible that team is >transitive property
