Good Lord. I have to go back and look to see how many games I've ended up playing over the last month that have gone to extra frames. I know it's a load...

you just won with a home run - bottom of the 10th - :smiley_abcs:

Thanks, Frito. Got lucky. Bruce killed me yesterday in the 10th. Had a larger bet on that game...heartbreaker...

Kind of a funny story, though. Got home from golf and checked the score on sportsline. Tied at 3 bottom of 8. I had been considering purchasing the DTV MLB package instead of sweating out games watching on cbssportsline, and after the Rays got out of a minor jam in the top of the 10th, I thought, "Fuck it. You're betting baseball this summer so just get the fucking thing." I got on the DTV website and ordered the package, found which station it was on, and when I turned it to the channel, the dude was already rounding second. I screamed "Yes", and woke up the baby....

Pissed my wife off to no end, but I couldn't help it...

Whew....

 

[counselor]

I was going to cement drew, gpcym, and Cap's Mets play by betting the Dodgers, but I decided to go with:

Over 7.5 -110

 

[CapTwo]

I would not be shocked if the dodgers win this game tonight.
They hit lefties well while mets struggle against RHP.... kuroda has been excellent and should have won a couple of those decisions, just lacked run support. he has excellent control at an almost pinpoint accuracy, just lacks the ability to overpower hitters or throw the ball hard.

while santana has been solid, but not un-hittable or santana-esq.

but dodgers are 2-6 in last 8 in NY... mets seem to really perform when televised on sunday night baseball....

anyways, counselor youre shortin yourself, its +100 or +110 everywhere on that over. just lettin ya know

especially after winning a big hand while playing poker online - yah baby
