Why the frick are we playing games at midnight eastern time? What genius came up with that?
Thought maybe they were trying to make better times for the locals back in their countries when possible
Kicks off at 2pm in Sydney and 7am in Istanbul
Well that was against the run of play

Unless I’m blind, didn’t see this started and figured there’s enough people making some plays over the next month
3-0 so far (so anticipating it goes all downhill from here)
Under 2.5 in Mex/SA W
Over 2.5 in Korea/Czech W
Bosnia +0.5 W
Today’s plays:
Swiss -1.5
Morocco +0.5
Haiti +1
Turkey ML
And FWIW, here are the futures I’ve placed. Most of these I’m just tailing I guy I trust:lol:
-Spain to win World Cup +475
-Swiss to win group B -120
-Colombia to win group K +250
-Japan to win group F +275
-Morocco to win group C +450
-USA to reach round of 16 +100
-Ecuador to reach round of 16 +150
-Swiss to reach round of 16 -138
-Belgium to win group C -220
-England to win group L -250
-DR Congo to advance from groups +100
-Morocco to win group C +350
-Ecuador to reach quarterfinal +550

The World Cup deserves a thread on every board including the home and garden board
What’s your favorite Bonds stat?
Posted by 5 Deep on 6/11/26 at 9:52 am
If you went 2/5 with a home run and a single every game in a season you would have an OPS 0.022 less than 2004 Barry Bonds :lol:
No point, he’s not great but the manager is far down the list of problems
His contract is up after this year so we should be starting post lockout with a new GM and new manager

Week in review:
- Won the Skenes game, but lost to Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones
- Comeback of the season to avoid the sweep. Down 9-2 in the 7th and scored 8 runs with 2 outs in the 7th and 8th
- Josh Hader made his return. 2 outings. Looked solid
- Yordan continues his tear. Leads the AL in all Triple Crown categories
- Offense exploded against the A's and then got shutout in the series finale, because of course
- Meatball Mike fricking sucks. He is AL worst in all of the following categories: Losses (8), ERA (5.77), Hits (87), Runs and Earned Runs (49 and 47), HR (17), WHIP (1.57), AVG (.295). I'm not sure which one of these is the craziest, but I'm going to say opposing teams hitting .300 off of you. And we continue to put him out there. He has an option. Send him down. Or let him go play Banana ball. Not sure he could even cut it there with his shitty fastball
- Credit to Imai. I think all of us shat on him, but he has strung together 3 impressive starts since returning from the IL: 17IP 4ER 8H 15K
- Chandler if you're reading this, you're still a bitch and your media credential is useless
Injury updates:
- Brown: 1 more rehab start and then will look to join the team vs Tigers
- Javier: scheduled to start 9 June for Sugar Land; eyeing late June return
- Loperfido: reinstated from IL, but optioned to AAA
- LMJ: who cares
- Shewmake: right adductor strain; working out in West Palm
- Sousa: on a throwing program
- Blanco: throwing live BP
- Wesneski: throwing live BP
- Yainer: hitting and catching bullpens
Looking ahead:
2 @ Anaheim
Off Thursday
3 @ Kansas City
