Thanks will try to get my daughter to watch though she's a "I don't watch sports, I play them" type so always a challenge. Like her meal planning or every other aspect of that hard headed girl.

Los Angeles Angels sign their duel threat guy,

same day (today) he pitches a one hit shutout,
and in the second game of a double header hits two home runs,
its unprecedented since the days of Ruth,

he could get to double digit in pitching wins, 200 plus strikeouts, 60 plus home runs, 100 plus RBIs.

Yeah but does he party like 80s vintage NY Mets or let 70s Pirates? Imagine Tony Montoya hosting Dave Parker, UL Washington, Otis Nixon int w young Darryl Strawberry and Doc Golden? Otani needs to party like that to be GOAT!

You got me, I don’t follow MLB at all,

Yahoo MLB after last night’s games implied it was a done deal,
but I guess they backtracked today.

Certainly a close game, not sure I'd say it's a "good" game

Both teams playing not to lose

for a 10 min stretch maybe. colgate is pressing the 10 man and just got off about 7 shots in 2 minutes.

Ridiculous analysis of an 18-17 game. That's “playing to lose”?!?

Things did tighten up in OT as you would expect when players are potentially playing their last game. That said there were still plenty of chances, the BU goalie stole at least 3 in the OTs. It was a great game to be at in person, not just a close game.

Kiss of death for BU, doubtful they’ll have enough in the tank to win two more, imo.

Despite the chaos, a very exciting game. As an outsider, without dog in fight, did not want to see either team lose.

Now of course a Hop fan after that scintillating game vs Terps 2 weeks ago :roll: can't find anything positive to say.

Very persuasive argument. No one said that was a great game of lacrosse, unless you like defense.

45 turnovers last night, only 21 of them caused by the other team. So that's 24 unforced turnovers. That's not really chaos, that's just bad.

That’s what happens when you have two highly talented teams running 10-man rides against each other. If that’s 'Bad' lacrosse, then I wish every college team played that 'Bad' style of lacrosse. That was by far one of the most entertaining games I’ve watched this year.

The average Colgate game this year had 44.3 combined turnovers. Teams cleared at a 72% rate against them.

The average BU game this year had 38 combined turnovers. Teams cleared at 76% against them.

Both teams' systems are trying to play fast and create chaos. They are very good at it (i.e., Colgate against PSU & Army).

i was trying to construct scenarios a couple hours ago where the hoos were out and couldn't find them. i was wrong. i can see top 3 or out of the tournament.

and i didn't have switching over from umd/psu to providence/g'town on my bingo card.
