Non-Hockey Sports Thread VIII

They’ve been playing their best baseball at the right time of the year and it’s been without the best position player in the league.

Well the Cubs tripping over their shoelaces helped a lot too. Now they Cubs need to go and sweep STL to end the season so the Brewers have a chance at the Division. lol

The Cubs had to play STL like 8 of the last 11 or 12 games. The Brewers were basically guaranteed to make the playoffs if they kept winning. I doubt the Cubs have it in them but I guess we will have to see!

Gotta love Romo.




Gibson posted a bunch of pics of the rookies in their costumes today.

I think Cleveland gave up.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Ugh the chemistry for the Twins is something the Wild really really really need.

LaFleur wanted to bring more of a running game to the Packers. Tonight he had a 1st and goal on the 1 yard line and called four straight passing plays and turned the ball over on downs. At the end of the game they had the ball at like the 2 yard line, 2nd down immediately after getting a decent run gain and they call a pass play that leads to an interception. f***ing moron.

He also doesn't want to commit to a particular RB. Aaron Jones is far more skilled than Williams but he's determined to have a RBBC.
He did the same thing in Tennessee last year. Derrick Henry is a far superior runner to whomever else was there (Dion Lewis?), but he kept it as RBBC until the end of the year when Henry pretty much made himself the exclusive back.

Losing one of your best players from a stupid play in a #@$!ing game that doesn't @#$%ing count!!! So effing pissed right now.

Let the kids play tomorrow for cripes sakes. Sit the starters. Because if we lose anyone else important between today and tomorrow, it's all on Rocco's head.

Gophers always have to make things difficult for themselves. Still a win though.

The worst thing to happen to the Vikes in this game was Trubisky getting hurt. Chase Daniel is a better QB.

Cousins being healthy might be just as big a problem

The Twins came back in the final day to win the home run title over the Yanks, 307-306. Major league record.

All is not well in Vikingsland.

Dude had diva written all over him even before he broke out.

Give Diggs a QB like Brady and he could put up some scary numbers.

 

[NHL1674]

Give Diggs a QB like Brady and he could put up some scary numbers.

Which will probably happen.

Just another day as a suffering MN sports fan...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Maybe don't fumble.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Yes Cousins has been not great but Diggs hasn't helped himself.

He's making a big chunk of money, quit the f***ing diva attitude and do your job.

 

[Wild11MN]

He participated in practice, but as it neared an end and most players began walking off the field, Adam Thielen grabbed Diggs and pulled him back to midfield, where Kirk Cousins was set to throw a few more passes to receivers, a new custom between the quarterback and his receivers. He did it Wednesday, too, while Diggs was absent. But instead of joining all of the wide receivers with Cousins, Diggs walked the other direction and caught passes from practice squad quarterback Jake Browning.

Could St. Thomas go to Division I (in football)?


Can't believe Minnesota has only one Division I football and basketball program.


Only one coach has a better win percentage than Caruso. Can you guess who? Their color is crimson...

jUstjust saw article St. Thomas is going DI. Ha...iI called it. Gophers got in-state rival?

 

[Northerner]

Twins got mauled tonight. Geeeze. Lose, but don't get murdered, is all I ask.
