Last year it was pretty cool to see Houston and JV win it. You guys had the whole Detroit Area with you.

Just imagine how good it would be to see him win the WS, Cy Young, and MVP this year.

According to Bill James' and Rob Neyer's Cy Young Predictor, Verlander's third in the CY race.

He's just lurking in the pack with his 1.45 ERA for the finishing kick in the stretch run late August & September.

Well, he definitely has an advantage this year because he won't face the Indians' hitters.

Hey, I think your done sporting that amazing Altuve avi.

Good sport and good luck. Maybe we do this again come playoff time.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

@Droopdog51, your time's up.

@VikingFan2k2, you're on the clock. Thanks for your patience.

Hey @VikingFan2k2, you up for another bet on this weekend's series?

Depending on the outcome of today's Tribe/WSox game, I might not be able to start payment if I lose until 6/27, but you know I'm good for it.

Jesus, what are you behind on your avatar wagers?

Yes. It's been bad. I try to get an avi bet for every series because I laugh when I make another person sport an "I love peckers" avi, but it hasn't been working out so well as of late.

I think I lost avi bets in four or five straight series. Folks have decidedly NOT been loving peckers.

No chance this time. 3 first inning runs the last 2 games 0 runs in innings 2-9.

Absolutely pathetic offensive performances and you get Kluber and I don't get Berrios. If we don't get swept, it will be a miracle.

That's what you said last time. It's just an avi bet.

You're not going to give me a shot at some payback?

Come on. You know you love peckers. Er, I mean, you know you want to take the avi bet. . .

I'll let you have the next series bet after this one no matter what. I just can't do it, because this is going to be my team in a body bag come Monday.

Fair enough.

Watch you guys sweep us.

I respectfully disagree

Speaking of bets...

How about a 1-week avi bet on the Indians/White Sox series this week? I'm paying off avi bets through 6/19, so if you win, I'll put up the avi of your choice up from 6/20-6/26. It's a four-game series, so if it's a split, total runs will be the tie breaker. If that's a tie, we shake hands and walk away.

What do you say?

Sure ... sorry, I had to run out, yesterday.

Alright, @craigk217, time to review the results...

Game 1 - CLE (W): 4 / CHW (L): 0
Game 2 - CLE (L): 1 / CHW (W): 5
Game 3 - CLE (L): 2 / CHW (W): 3
Game 4 - CLE (W): 5 / CHW (L): 2

The series was a split, so per the rules of engagement, we go to total runs for the tie breaker.

CLE: 12
CHW: 10

I win, you lose, and it's time to pay the piper. As I told you, my intention is to take it relatively easy on you because you took a tough bet AND, you accepted it after your team was already down a game. Big ups to you for that - you're a good sport. However, relatively is a very important word in that sentence.

When considering this relativity, it's crucial to remember that past losers have publicly professed their love for all types of nasty peckers, including uncut, veiny, slightly crooked, and even malformed peckers. Compared to those, this is a piece of cake. Pecker shaped cake.

Without further ado:

Spoiler

Wear it with pride, my good-sporty friend.

Hah ... @Win TWINS!!! gawna luv this.

Got it bech. I'll expect plenty of 'eye contact' at my whim while Ozzie reminds me of your dreaminess.

I'm feeling really stupid now. I hope Carrasco is ok.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I'm feeling really stupid now. I hope Carrasco is ok.

The thing you forgot to look at is neither Kluber nor Carrasco are softy tossing lefties that throw pussy 70 mph breaking balls.

That’s the bread and butter to mowing the twins down lol

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I guess we only play well against the Indians... shoulda taken that bet with @SlinkyRedfoot

I'm feeling really stupid now. I hope Carrasco is ok.

I’m going to come up with an avi tomorrow that you two should wear for a couple days for being such pussies.

 

[Droopdog51]

For some strange reason I can't get anyone to go with a bet against the Astros?
