SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
England are leading 2-0 at half time against Lithuania tonight, courtesy of a second goal that went in off the goalie's head.
This means "Own Goal" now has 50 goals for England, moving back into a tie with Wayne Rooney for all time leading England scorer.

Forgot the Rangers/Jays start time.
Tuned in to a 7-1 deficit.
I quit sports.

That Mike Tomlin call at the end. Five seconds left at the half-yard line. Down by 3. One timeout left. Deep handoff to Bell. Who does that?

That Jays offense is the one that went 43-19 after trading for TULO.
I don't know if they keep it up with the pressure of the home crowd on Wednesday, but I kind of like their chances with the StroShow performance.
The one hitter than hasn't done something dramatic so far is Edwin Encarnacion. He's just about due to "walk the parrot", as he hit a HR every 16 plate appearances during the regular season.
Derek Holland, man.
Hey, if you're going to disrespect the opposition's rally towel, you'll pay the price...

Who does that?
Probably should have thrown the inside slant like Pete Carroll would have.
Tomlin went with strength vs weakness by running. Vick clearly cannot throw the football with any accuracy at all. The only thing that saved him from having 5 ints that game was the Chargers DBs inability to catch.
I have a much bigger problem with the way he handled the Baltimore game. Yeah, the kicker was having another rough day, but you have got to go with the crew you have.

After the Patriots/Cowboys game in Arlington, TX yesterday, a fight broke out in one of the parking lots that resulted in one man being shot in the head (but still alive).
