I will be a lot happier as a person when I stop having to hear about the stupid things Trevor Bauer does and says.

It's better than drinking beer and eating fried chicken.

Are you kidding? Beer and fried chicken are delicious, and good for the soul.

US soccer out of the World Cup! Coverage next year will be bearable!!!

Pretty incredible ineptitude. Not even the San Francisco Giants had a worse season than USMNT.

Jeff Zimmerman

i don't follow, sorry.

The US lost to Trinidad & Tobago tonight, basically eliminating from qualifying for the World Cup next year.

I think it's next year.

I think "Souls don't win championships" has been the San Antonio Spurs mantra over the course of their 20 year run of being incredible.

Paul Swydan

Ha.

Yea, Duncan had nothing to do with it.

The funniest part of that is that Pop, Robinson and Duncan are basically the nicest guys in pro sports.

If you were running the Red Sox what would the off-season look like? Go after Stanton or JDM?

Paul Swydan

10:01

I don't want any part of the cost for Stanton, especially not now that he's just played the best season of his career. But I would be heavy in on JDM. Hanley can play first base for one more year.

Yeah, USMNT losing to Trinidad is like the San Francisco Giants losing to the Toledo Mud Hens.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:01

Not sure

Paul Swydan

Great, damning analogy. And as the cherry on the sundae, the first goal was a US own goal.

Jeff and I are familiar with self owns, of course. Well, I am anyway. So before we own ourselves, we're going to call it a night. Thanks, as always, for hanging out with us. Until next week!
