Rams are done -- stick a fork in them.
Having Gurly be a non-factor eliminated the two-back field that they needed.
Rams should have practiced far more under super-noisy conditions.
Brees will get his final SB ring in this coming Super Bowl. |

Anyway, I'm an old-school, long-time Ram fan, having been one since the Tommy Prothro days, back in 1972. Way back.
So, I'm not going to let my emotion cloud my judgement in this game with regards any betting. And I have no TV, so I'm streaming via a Russian stream site. It seems that the Russian stream sites are the best, as they'd have the fewest people jamming their lines, I suppose. Go Rams!

That Goff turnover with the Rams leading was a killer -- especially with a wide-open check-down receiver ready to catch a ball.
SMH At least the Seahawks are losing ... lost the game, now.

Oh, Jeez -- out for the year?
I'm sorry to hear of that. I still want my Rams to beat the Eagles in this game today, but I'm never happy to see a key player get hurt and be out for a season.

Thanks, Hog_Wild and Undermysac, for your contributions in this important endeavor of fading bullpens and closers.
I use the Rotogrinders dot com link for my bullpen/closers stats. My thinking is to do auto-bets on the dogs of every game in which the favorite has a top-5-worst bullpens/closers when the dogs would be behind. Then, in those games, if the favorite falls behind, to bet on the favorite ML at + odds ... that way, no matter the outcome of the game, you would make money. Covering both ends for automatic profits is my aim here.

Hog's post continued (fk'n 7,800-character limit ... how in the hell did his whole post get posted, then, in a previous post? The fk?)
WOW- I started a quick response to LogCottage in Mozarts Thread, and obviously got a little carried away, but this worthless group of overpaid, underachieving Relievers and especially the Closers who you expect to get the job done every night they come in, especially since 95% of the time they have the luxury of a lead and just have to hold it. Glad I got that off my chest, although I still don't feel any better, just more tired Can't wait to see who's on the list today " |

"Most excellent point LC . I Posted in someones Thread last night that had the Good Lord Blessed me with the skills to be a MLB Starting Pitcher, I would be in jail for Assault, or possible Murder. Imagine busting your Arss for 3+ hours, throwing 100+ pitches of 1 or 2 hit ball and in line for a win, only to be forced to hand the ball over to some bonehead Manager , who then hands it over to some gas can Reliever- and it doesn't matter who, because there is NOT ONE DEPENDABLE RELIEVER IN MLB (with the possible exception in NY, but just give them time)- who in a matter of 5 minutes, or 5 pitches, completely 180's EVERYTHING you have succeeded in accomplishing. And it's not something that occasionally happens- it's EVERY DAMN NIGHT, and usually a couple games a night. And for the most part, it's not just a single one time mistake, but a multitude of them, and not by some minion, but by the Ace Closers that are getting paid MILLIONS and should be expected to come out and do their jobs EVERY NIGHT (and no excuses that this or that Reliever can't be used because he threw 20 pitches the night before- OMG, call 911 ., but that's another issue for another Thread. Let's just look at tonight, and no tonight was not an anomaly, as we could take any random night and find the same. But we'll just hand out our 3 Star Closers for tonight #3 Star goes to Rockies Closer Jimmy Johnson. Braves have a 3 run lead and bring in their Closer Johnson (Making $2.5 million this year for his 1-5 record and 4.22 ERA and 2 saves on 4 opportunities) who gives up a lead off single and throws 3 wild pitches to allow the Rockies to come back and tie, eventually winning. Now this isn't a powerhouse team he allowed to come back. This is the Rockies, who before tonight were 0-43 when trailing after 7 innings. #2 Star goes to Dodgers Closer Kenley Jansen who came in for his perfect Save scenario, a 1-0 lead in the ninth, so even though the Dodgers weren't hitting/ scoring (why should they- they did that last night ), the D-Backs weren't exactly knocking the skin off the ball either with only 4 hits through the eighth when they brought Jansen in and got the first out, only to give up a single to Bourn, then got Goldschmidt to pop out and was so excited that he allowed Bourn to steal second and was so focused on that, he grooved one to Lamb, who crushed a deep double allowing Bourn to easily score the D-Backs first run of the game. He then struck out Tomas and was so spent that God forbid that he could come out and pitch more than one inning. But why should he overexert himself for the measly $10.65 million he's getting paid this year. And btw, they were quick to point out that this was ONLY Jansens 4th blown Save this year through half a season And the #1 Star tonight goes to Giants Closer Santiago Casilla, who was brought in to mop up the lowly Padres in the bottom of the tenth after Posey hit a Bomb to give the Giants a 6-5 lead in the top of the inning. Casilla immediately gave up a single to Dickerson, who went to third on the next pitch, a single to Norris, who immediately stole second. Casilla facing the third batter of the inning managed to give up b2b2b hits, this time to Rosales, easily scoring Dickerson and sending Norris to third, who then proceeded to score the winning run when Casilla BALKED him in for the Padres walk off win, and not even recording an out. But for a paltry 3 year $15 million contract with $15m guaranteed, he has no worries about any ramifications, so why should he. |
