This thread title pizzes me off! ARod's garbage time HR last night nearly put me in the money, but, alas, McCann's 0-4 was ever so slightly too much to overcome.

For the first time ever, I crushed the blackjack tables last week in Vegas. There six full days and never once left a table down. The last night I left the table WAY up.

Sheet...if I did draft kings or Fanduel, my babies would be needing way more than new shoes.

Add in the copious amounts of vodka and bourbon they served me gratis, I expect Aria to be folding any day now. . .

THE RETURN OF KOJI: Koji Uehara is still throwing considerably more splitters than fastballs, yet the matter has become a relative nonissue as Uehara has resumed dominating, as Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal writes.

Uehara worked a perfect, 12-pitch ninth on Thursday. He now has a 1.64 ERA with 13 strikeouts and two walks in 11 innings this year, and he hasn’t allowed a hit in his last seven games (6 2/3 innings).

BRADLEY A CENTRAL FIGURE … IN RIGHT: Nick Cafardo examines the Red Sox’ dilemma as to whether Jackie Bradley Jr. should be playing center or right field in his less-than-everyday role.

“Jackie Bradley Jr. is the best center fielder in the game of baseball,” said a National League scout. “It’s like playing Brooks Robinson at second base.”

Especially for Scott:

A HAIRPIN TURN TO PAWTUCKET: Julian Benbow attempts to trace the precipitous decline of Allen Craig in the prime of his career, a plummet that has seen him (and his turtle) go from the heart of a championship-caliber lineup to the hitter with the lowest average in Red Sox history (.130) in at least 100 plate appearances to Triple A Pawtucket in less than 24 months.

Not sure if the numbers back it up or not, but I always think of Koji having been pretty much lights out his entire career, except the one year he pitched for TX, when he stunk.

You see he's off to a a good start at Pawtucket? He and Bradley (at least so far) - no problem hitting AAA pitching. Can't sniff MLB pitching.

How many IP at AAA do they typically want these guys to have before the call up?
