I remember that bet! LOL I think some guy Saragusa (sp) maybe lost the bet I think (or maybe he won the bet) and had to kiss someone's a$$. LOL

 If you guys are still interested here is one that happens a lot more than you might think. It is a bit harder.

Once again, runner on 1st with one out.

Batter hits a ground ball to the 2nd baseman. The runner is running from 1st to 2nd in the basepath. The fielder in an attempt to field the grounder is in the basepath and the runner makes contact with him.

a-- runner is out and batter is awarded 1st base
b-- runner is out and batter is also out
c-- runner is safe at 2nd as he never went out of his baseline and batter is on 1st base
d---runner is awarded 3rd base as he was interfered with and gets an awarded base.Batter stays at 1st. 
e-- it's a do-over

Parsons, by a wide margin.

Quote from: katkavage on May 17, 2024, 04:23:57 PMThe epitome of both hubris and stupidity. If the Giants win only one game in 24 I want it to be against the Falcons.

Sorry Kat, if we win only one game I would pray it is over the Cowpukes and make it mean something to them.

I think quote from Barclay Goodrow sums it up.  From The Athletic, but I am sure several other places have it as well:

"'They're a great team," said Barclay Goodrow, who finally eased the tension with a 143-foot empty-netter with 48.1 seconds left. "It's not like we go up 3-0 and they're going to roll over and quit. They're a really good team and we knew they were going to fight back. We maybe had a letdown game last game but I think throughout the season, whenever that's happened, we've rebounded and came back stronger the next game.'"

I see.  So, he should stop the SOG and the not SOG.  Does that mean Carolina was lucky to stretch it to 5 with the 3 posts the Rangers hit in game 4? 

Quote from: coggs on May 17, 2024, 07:05:26 PMIs Igor expected to stop the shots that are wide or high, on top of the ones that are on net?

Quote from: Painter on May 17, 2024, 07:03:39 PMYeah, sure! Aside from the fact that at this point, and for who knows when it might be otherwise, all such speculation is bootless. Is that not something we might at least wish to acknowledge out of a sense of propriety? Are there not more sensible rabbit holes for us to go spelunking? Good gosh! 

Cheers!

Call it as you wish, but I'm following this draft class that many pundits have crapped upon or hyped. It's the most interesting Draft class since 2004. You know where my chips are placed.
