Don't worry Dirtski. I'm betting heavily on the Yankees.

Cool, one of us will "win"

I just liked the payout odds for Minnesota. Too much risk/too little reward on the Yanks in a game where anything could happen

Somewhat related: During Sunday's Mets-Phillies game, the radio broadcasters mentioned that if the Mets could close out the eight inning with no more runs allowed (they were already trailing 7-0), they would finish the season with a team ERA just a shade under 5.00.

Only one other season in their history has the team ERA been over 5 at the end of a year: 1962.

Needless to say, they let in 4 more runs and blew it. So this year is the Second-Worst season EVER in team history in terms of final team ERA, after their inaugural, 120-loss season.

That's how bad it was. Spare me any non-existent pity.

Wow. That is crazy. Particularly given how super-duper-awesome their pitching staff was touted to be preseason.

I have to fart, but it feels like it could be a shart, so I'm a little concerned.

It might have been marginally better at least, if Syndergaard and Familia could have pitched a whole year...but EVERYONE got lit up. Even deGrom got pounded.

I can imagine that the FO will sweep everyone out, including pitching coach Dan Warthen, who has been with the team for 9 years. Full rebuild mode: engage

I can tell you, I was more than a bit nervous when I hit the google image search button for "jerk off gifs."

Shewt mang...I figured you must have about 30 of them saved to your hard drive

Meh...I go on these lucky runs where I stack it up a bit, then I blow it all quickly. I had about 14K a few months back and spent it all in a matter of days, trying to hit some big payouts.

Why I don't gamble IRL

I just bet all my vCash on a game and if I win, I do it again, and if I win that, I do it again, and so on. It got up to around 10k once and DJ thought I was awesome. Yep. Yep, I am. Really awesome.

That's what I do when starting over from zero. Bet the 200 auto-replenish on a longshot; if you win you're back up to 6 or 7 hundy, and if you lose, you're right back to 200 when the next auto-replenish kicks in.

If you win, put that 600-700 on another longshot
