I am being foolish and betting on the Cubs this year. Theo's got all the pieces to make it happen. I'll be in Vegas next month so I think I'm gonna put down just a teensie bit ($50 or $100) for shits & giggles. Someone told me they're up to 16-1 odds or something, so it's not a super long shot, but whatever. I'm American, thus wasteful

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the article I posted lists the Cubbies at only 6-1.
FWIW, if you are prepared to put $100 on them, you might consider putting only $50 on them and another $50 on, say SFG.
Holy crap! The odds were seriously 16-1 less than a month ago! I won't be in Vegas until the first week of May- they might be favorites by then! As far as my boys- it's an odd year, so that might be really, really wasteful!!Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the article I posted lists the Cubbies at only 6-1.

Thats insane. The Cubs will make waves but they need either the Cardinals or the Pirates to get out of the way. Cardinals are getting older with Wainwright, Molina and Holliday so they'll have a dropoff at some point but I wouldn't count on it happening this year.
Hopefully that will be a fun division to watch. Gotta check the schedule to see how many time y'all Centralers have an opportunity put a beatdown on LA for me!
~off topic~ but did you see GSW come back from a 17 point deficit last night?! I wasn't able to watch the whole thing, but I stayed around until Steph got the first lead in the 3rd. I've said it before and I'll say it again- what a fun team to watch!
Oh, yeah... back to your "I love Kawhi Leonard more than anything in the whole wide world" comments from yesterday with regard to balance on both sides of the court. I was looking at some numbers (because of course, I got pissed about the Curry slight) and yeah, he's great on defense, but Steph's not exactly a slouch and he kills it on offense. Verdict: Kawhi good, Steph better.

AL East will get the pub but the 3 fun divisions to watch will be the NL Central, the AL Central and the NL West. Lots of wild card potentials there
And now the scheduling for the last day of the season should add some drama so I'm super excited! I'm gonna go see the exhibition games between SF & Oakland tomorrow & Friday and I'm like a friggin' kid on Christmas Eve about it! I've done it for years, but it never loses its appeal.
Pleasure, and lots of it! I'll be there the weekend prior, during the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, coming home on the 4th. I don't really care about the fight though, but I expect it will be a little extra wild with all the people. I hope I don't get shot up in a gang war!
uh...yeah... lots o'fun on the schedge, visitin' ailing relations & stuff. It ain't my fault they get sick during one of the biggest events of the year
