Johnnies likely end up winning this, but James Jr. was putting on a show there for a bit. Kid has elite body control. Too bad he's barely 6'0" and not 5-6" taller.

That's about as low a insult as there is. Palmeiro never even got to the WS let alone win one. And he used PEDs. You cannot be "a big fan of the kid" and do him dirty like that.

Is that all it takes to be a 2nd round pick? For some reason I thought you had to be good.

Gotta hand it to Creighton for not refusing the gift they were given. I'm usually one of the optimists in chat and I really wasn't all that uncomfortable being down 7 with 4 minutes left. Was certain the "championship DNA" would kick in. Then we missed a whole lot of open close in shots. And...

US wins! Hughes gets the OT winner.

Playing 3 on 3 vs McDavid must be a nightmare. He didn't score, but I don't know if he ever left the ice.

Swedes pull goalie, score with 1:31 left. Going to OT 1-1.

I didn't really notice the music in Steal. But I loved the 70s selections in Ponies. Even songs I didn't like back then.

One on hand, it was a really well done doc, giving details that I'd never heard before. OTOH, I felt sad for Herb Brooks when it was all over. I get his motivation, but damn. You look at how hard JC was on his kids but also that so many of those players come back to Storrs to celebrate JC. I...

Him telling Tuesday Weld to have dinner on the table when he gets home had to be fun for him.

Ollie had to hold that team together thru 2013 when there was no championship to play for. He had to retain Brimah's interest as a recruit, and find guys like Kromah to plug in holes. UConn isn't winning that NC with Omar Calhoun playing >20 minutes. That's KO, not Calhoun.

Enjoy it, then get back to us after the final episode.

Yesterday my wife and I went to a mom & pop Greek place nearby. Had a great meal. They also have a takeout bakery. I got myself a spicy tomato and feta phyllo tart. Best thing I've eaten this year. Know what else is made primarily of dough, cheese and tomato?

I can easily believe WF pizza is the best pizza in a ton of places where they have stores - if they're all using the same recipe as the store near me. I'll grab a slice or two for lunch at least once a month. I've got a probably a dozen pizza shops within a mile of my house, and WF beats them...

thus, only one run scores. What a strange way to get injured. Wait till the replay to see it (it's not pleasant to see). Moral: celebrate responsibly.
