Great golf course, one of my favorites. Big fan of any Ross course that I have played over the years.

Sensational goal. Reminded me of a few I saw Lemieux score, which is high praise.

Nice to see a Canadian team have a shot at the Cup.

His speed and control in tight spaces is seriously ridiculous.  I don't think they have enough but maybe their goalie has figured things out.

I didn’t see the play. Other posters said he was out easily, out by a mile. You were the one who put the chances of Pham scoring on that play at 24% which statistically was slightly better than Sheets getting a hit (23.7%). But you didn’t account for other ways the Sox could score in that situation other than a Sheet’s hit - an error, wild pitch, passed ball, a walk or hbp followed by a hit by the next guy or an error, etc., etc. Sheets also could have hit a HR. And multiple runs could have been scored too many other ways to even list them. So your math (based on a 24% chance) is wrong, plain and simple. If his chance to score was 35% you probably have an argument.

1. It was clear to everyone, except you perhaps, that I was suggesting Pham had a 24% or better chance of scoring on that play.
2. You're miles off the mark if you believe there was a better than 10% chance of him scoring on a wild pitch, passed ball or error in that situation.

Wrong again, aina?

My brother and sister-in-law, Orthodox Jews who live near Tel Aviv and who are definitely not "libs," have an opinion of Bibi that's fairly typical of the populace: They want him gone.

They probably would get a kick out of an American gentile telling them what to think about Israel and Judaism, though.

MU is a whole is greater than sum of parts program and now we have its inverse at Villanova, as their whole is less than the sum of parts .

Generally speaking, well coached teams (MU under Shaka) are better than the sum of their parts and poorly coached teams (Nova under Neptune) are worse than the sum of their parts. So for the time being anyway, yeah.

For those who watch more often, has Korda chilled out a bit? He used to whine a lot when I watched him but this match vs. Alcaraz it's noticeably toned down.

Edit: I think I confused Korda and Brooksby.

I haven't seen them enough but I think Brooksby struggles with anger issues.

LOL. There are about 6 wild pitches/passed balls per 1,000 pitches in MLB these days. And the Brewers are statistically one of the best defensive teams in the league.
Fine, a bump that up a percentage point. Maybe two. Massive difference.

And the idea that in the eighth inning of a one-run game a team should bypass a strong opportunity to tie for another at bat is ridiculous. And that's not even accounting for the fact that the White Sox are BY FAR the worst run-generating team in the league.

But Contreras waving goodbye to Pham after the tag was ice cold. But Contreras has played like an MVP contender. He's earned the right to chirp.

He should chirp. Pham ran onto the infield grass to try and make contact with Contreras while the whole plate was open.
