Mariners have a stacked lineup this year.

Currently tied for 1st. But ultimately it won't matter cuz they'll find someway to blow it. Choke. It's what they do.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You guys hit on two rookie starting pitchers this year who look very legit in Logan Gilbert and Bryan Woo. And it also has helped you guys picking up catcher Cal Raleigh. he's having a hall of fame year.


Woo is only good at home. That's part of the problem. I'm with you on the lineup though. It's arguably the best top to bottom lineup in baseball. I like that JP is batting 9th also.

They have a good team. But 1 playoff appearance in 25 years creates a lot of doubt. :wink:

A total of 5 playoff appearances since 1977 & no World Series. This team is beyond cursed.

Yeah, Woo got hurt the other day lol. A pectoral injury. The pitching is good but not great this year. The bullpen is sketchy.

Just listened to 2 different Vikings podcasts saying it’s time to move on from KOC, that he’s falling McCarthy and we need a coach that needs to know how to call plays and handle QBs. And searching around social media, this seems to be a pretty common talking point.

Buffalo Bills bandwagon, here I come!!! I also think it’s fair hopping from an NFC team that is 0-4 in Super Bowls to an AFC team that is also 0-4 in Super Bowls


Now you know how I feel the last 30 years watching Jerry's Cowboys and their new young fan base trying to pretend to be the Dallas Cowboys.

All the top 4 or 5 teams in baseball are in the National league anyways.

I don't know. I don't watch that or am involved in any of that sort of thing. I've never watched him so I really don't care. Am I missing something?

Egals trolls successfully took out Rams defender Nick Hampton by poisoning his cheesesteak.

Meanwhile bjj is derailing the thread as usual by talking about the Mariners and Jimmy Kimmel. Sad.

If I were a troll and derailer like bjj I would ask El Turco if he is embarassed by the Galatasaray home loss in Frankfurt. But I'm not, so I won't.

The Bengals have a punchers chance in this game. Vikings are missing their starting QB and their starting RB.

Browning in 2023 week 15 was able to start and best the Vikings in OT, can he duplicate that performance today to bring the Bengals to 3-0?

I think this sneakily might be one of the most defining days of the entire season. You just know the league is going hard on offsides during the tush push, will the Eagles be able to cope? Yet to throw a touchdown pass all year.

Mr B said Dak will throw for 1000 yards before Hurts gets a passing TD.
