JDD Surviving MLB Part Deux.....The Reckoning

Donna.....send the tout fee to the Big Dog Rescue Ranch in Loxahatchee.....

Plus Yu Darvish looked like he was throwing BP out there.........

Just taking the dogs for a walk last night.  

good job. 

Yesterday was the anniversary of the pine tar incident.  I was watching something about it, and they said Nettles told Brett that they knew it was illegal weeks before that game and they just waited until Brett did something dramatic (hit a go ahead dinger off Goose) to use it against him.  Once the Royals appealed and won and replayed the game on August 18th, Brett was watching the game at an Italian restaurant in Newark NJ on TV because although his homer counted, he was ejected for arguing/making contact with ump.  He was only a few miles away from me at the time, I am curious which joint it was.  Royals won 5-4.

@drvannosttran

 good luck bud

I only have one bet tonight.....1 unit on mets risking 115/100, then another 1 unit on mets risking 109/100.  so 224/200 on the amazins.  put half in last night when I posted it, 2nd half driving home from work when I saw my beloved yankee lineup.  Gross.  Completely gross.

mets are up 5-0

imma let a unit fly on the braves too

just risk 1 unit on braves to make .72u  @ -139 so if the mets hold on I can still walk with a unit for the night if atlanta loses

as I typed that volgelbach went back to back after alonso mets now up 6-0

that mets +131 is already looking juicy for tomorrow night.

fuck it, Rodon has looked like total shit too....I am also on mets ML @ +131 risk 1 for 1.31 tomorrow 

mets ml +131 (1/1.31)

clevelandians -1RL (-144/100)

mets ml +131 (1/1.31)

clevelandians -1RL (-144/100)

hard lean on the cubbies..........

Cubbies been scoring a lot lately, 7-3 L10 (2 of those 3 losses they still scored 5 runs each game).  Bellinger is in a contract year I believe, looking like 2019 Cody Bellinger again,,,,,,,,,,,,

Cubbies 6-1 L7, Pale Hose 1-6 L7.......

Lance Lynn Loves the Longball.  No bet yet........that game is late.....may see how things shake out first,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jose Ramirez just hit a ball exactly off of the top edge of the bat, it curved around 3rd base perfectly.......easy single 

@jakejarrmel

 I hope the mets get all 9 of em, for ya

@jakejarrmel

 how could a kids hoops coach be banned on a canadian sports message board?

That.....the Sphinx......Stonehenge,,,,,,,Bermuda Triangle,,,,,,,,,,???????????  

We may never fully grasp these things

Why O why am i afraid to fade Corbin today when it just seems to be the right thing to do. 

@Biscuiteater1

 2 Gas Cans...

@Biscuiteater1

 I did it for ya......

I like Mets, Rockies, Astros, Marlins, Cubbies, Red Sox

Lets do sum binkin

Chris Flexen pitching for his major league life......M's cut him.....Rox picked him up naturally since they haven't had a decent pitcher since Ubaldo Jiminez.....he pitched 2 games at ABQ and looked ok........now he gets the A's after a loss yesterday......plus Rox put up some runs late in that game yesterday.......might be decent spot here to fade Oakland but we will see.

Waino going for Cards......poor Waino......he is the Miguel Cabrera of pitchers......nobody has the heart to tell him to stop, and he has earned that respect to some degree.....but he may give up a run or 4

Love me some Johnny Cueto too......hard luck start last time out, bullpen blew up his beauty of a start.

@JDD

@Biscuiteater1

 There are odds on Lowvig for the "Next Commanders Name"

Redpigs was on the list lol.

When I get a second I am gonna post the options, pretty funny stuff I thought

Looks like Nats game will start on time, still could be some rain around for O's start.My guess JDD is that any new name for the Skins that included Hogs in it would get more support than one might think.

01:00 PM 78889 Spartans +600   78875 Football Team/Club +700   78891 Red Hogs +800   78888 Magic/Magicians +900   78886 Armada +1000   78879 Presidents +1100   78882 Ambassadors +1200   78887 Brigade +1200   78880 DCs +1200   78883 Defenders +1200   78893 Red Tails +1200   78876 Senators +1200   78878 Sentinels +1200   78877 Wolves +1200   78890 Crimson +1400   78884 Owls +1400   78892 Red Pigs +2000   78881 Monuments +3300   78894 Redskins +5000

Well, you were right.......Red Hogs is 3rd to the chalk at +800

The odds they have for the name going back to Redskins is +5000, but they have Washington to make the super bowl at +4000.......wonder what the qualifications are to become a linemaker?

Are the Commanders changing their team name for sure?

Those new options are entertaining, thanks for posting JDD. How does "monuments" even become an option?

My gut tells me that it's time for the CD Summer Newsletter to get published. My gut also tells me that it won't get published this year.

*side note, had a hell of a day on the water yesterday in Madison. Caught a 20 lb bag of bass. Ofcourse, it wasn't in a tournament setting. That would of only guaranteed a first, maybe 2nd place finish. Last derby I fished 1st place was rewarded $3,570

Crimson makes a ton of sense 

@undermysac

 Glad someone is catching fish,been thin around here. As for Skins name the fan base does not like it and new ownership is likely to erase the taint of Snyder, but have bigger fish to scale in a new stadium and location. 

Say "erase the taint" 5 times fast and try not to laugh

I can barely contain my excitement......I just started sending the money for all the pools and leagues for the NFL calendar year 2023

3 entries into one survivor pool

2 into another

3 entries into the "Loser Pool" ...... survivor pool but backwards.......you gotta pick teams that actually lose every week and can only pick one per week.  

Never won a survivor or a loser pool....maybe this is the year,,,,,,,,,cmon baby one time

1 entry into the "18 pool"....... this one is a real lottery.......only 4 winners last year Giants/Bucs/Pats/Falcons.........teams get randomly assigned and have to score 18 points with rollover weekly.  It is similar to a baseball 13 run pool if you have ever done that.

1 entry into the regular NFL pickem pool with no spread .......straight up picks........finished 4th last year out of 163 entries

1 entry into same pool with spread........finished 6th last year 

2nd straight up pool/2nd spread pool, but the guy who runs it only picks 10 games each week.

Work fantasy league.........live draft at the office on August 21st.....yours truly takes over as "The Commish" this season.  There will be blood.

Second fantasy league, online, not sure if I am gonna use Apex or FFPC this year.  I don't like the free agency rules on FFPC, might try Apex this season gotta see what their rules are.  Leaning towards "Erase the Taint" as the team name,,,,,,

And of course......there will be some weekly action at the books.......because I like to make my wagers.  My local currently owes me, so Lowvig it is until further notice and payment.  He got tired of the death by papercuts approach I imagine.........He has ghosted me for 2 weeks now.  Sadly I have a lot of futures bets with him that have been flushed down the toilet now. 

If anyone wants to get into any good pools.......feel free to reach out.  There are 3 guys I do my pools through that run them on a few different websites.  RYP run your pool, Simply Sportsware dot com,,,,,,,CBS Sports,,,,,etc.......Been working with them for years.  I like doing the "pay one time and bet every week" pools because if theres a week that I don't like a lot of games, at least I have prepaid action anyway,,,,,,,,,there are hundreds/thousands of people in these pools, I would imagine some people on covers are unknowingly in these same pools with me.  They pay weekly winners and year-end winners.....and are run like well oiled machines.....

The slate is full, and I am fucking ready for kickoff.

That's a lot of irons in the fire. 

@JDD

 If we don't hear from Hugh soon, perhaps you could author the CD Summer Newsletter?

Also, Getty must be having a good summer as well. Haven't seen much from him either.

@undermysac

 I am sure he will show up here soon, but either way
