Women's World Cup

I don't care if it was men, women or dogs playing that game, that was the most exciting goal I've ever seen live. Considering what they were up against, it's most definitely a more amazing goal than Donovan's. Poetic justice that it came during the extra time granted by Erika's completely bogus injury. These chicks kick ass.

They are? I'm not even sure their rotation is the best in baseball right now, let alone best of all time as folks were predicting preseason.

I need to come back and address what might be the dumbest sports comment of all time. (next to vick cant lead a team to the playoffs???)

Lets see..

Oswalt is injured, but Halladay, Hamels, Lee... top 3 in innings pitched for their league, by FAR the most complete games in baseball. Their COMBINED ERA IS 2.53 I'll repeat that. 2.53 31-13 record and the team is 40-17 in games they started. they've gone at least 7 innings in 44 of their 57 starts. They are 3 of the top 5 in strikeouts and also are have a great Strike out to walk ratio. 3 of the top 9 in all of baseball for the WAR stat (Halladay #1, Hamels #6, Lee #9) all of them all stars and also all three would be in the top 5 of Cy Young candidates (Halladay would probably get the Cy young right now. JJ of the braves has more wins (by 1) and a lower ERA... but halladay has pitched 1/3 more innings then him... I'll repeat again.. 1/3 more innings, like twice the amount of strike outs and 6 complete games compared to 2 for JJ.

So we have 3 of the top 9 starters in all of baseball but we're not the best rotation??? you sir, have a plain old wrong opinion. Even braves, redsox and yankee fans would disagree with you.

Your comment proved you have no leg to stand on so maybe your not even worth debating baseball with.

Really? I just read an article from Buster Olney the other day that listed the Braves as a better staff than the Phillies this year, with the Giants not far behind.

Quit being such a homer. Seriously. There are other teams out there besides your beloved Phillies.

Exciting goal/finish or not, it will be just a footnote in Women's Soccer history if they don't close the deal and win the whole thing.

Great quarterfinal games between two teams that did not win the cup are not remembered for long.
