Thank you very much! Trying very hard to beat the challenge. Currently a rain delay in downtown Detroit. Im 15 miles north and it is sunny skies, hot and humid, 87 degrees.
EOG's Grand Challenge presented by BetDSI (MRBOWLING300 is our August contestant)
- Thread starter John Kelly
- Start date
Not being able to line shop and betting into one of the sharpest books around. Win or lose you've already impressed.

Thank you for the kind words!
Final score: 2-1, Blue Jays.
A loud strike.
Now here comes the money ball.
This bowling analogy was fun and interesting.
"300" told us his career strike percentage was 60%, the rate needed to conquer EOG's Grand Challenge.

Decent card in MLB tomorrow. Have to think an under selection.

Been there before, front 11 strikes. Next shot is a $1,000 ball. Win, lose or draw, i appreciate this opportunity to participate, many thanks to BetBSI and to my friend John Kelly. It has been fun!

I've seen that....I never know what type of bet it will be, side or totals, but one thing for sure, I will find something that gives me the best chance to win.

This month has been highly entertaining.
We will have a story, no matter what happens Monday.
Either MRBOWLING300 will roll another strike and EOG contributors will celebrate his impressive performance.
Or "300" will fail to strike and EOG's resident heel RAILBIRD will arrive with an "I told you so" dagger.
Gotta love the Internet.

"300" stands at 17-12 with one selection outstanding.
Here's hoping it's an outstanding play.

If they walk Cash to get to McAuliffe, then I'm bringing Gates Brown to pinch hit!

Just in the nick of time, I just looked at pinnacle, and they moved it to u 8 +105
First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET.
This game is for all the tea in China.
Well, at least one thousand dollars' worth of tea.

With 11 strikes in a row, last frame coming up (@7.05pm ET), can't wait to see what happens!

Like I said, win or lose, this has been a ball (no pun intended), and I appreciate JK and BetDSI for the opportunity! The month of August was so fast moving, I can't believe the 30th selection is already here and it is amazing that I still have a chance. There was many distractions to my selections, such as going to Washington DC for a long weekend with a Sunday wedding in Philly (one of my selections came from the Pennsylvania Turnpike, lol), as well as my step-son's wedding this past weekend, and many other things going on during the month. I intended to mix up my plays with WNBA and some NFL preseason and CFL, but as Chico Escuela once said, "Baseball been berry, berry good to me!"
also a shout out to the Taylor, MI team for winning the little league world series! Taylor, MI is in the Detroit area, and have been the talk of the town.
EOG contributor DON EAGLESTON is on deck.
He has a tough act to follow.

I would recommend to Don that he submit a preseason pick on Aug 31 to warm up and get in shape. I was 1-0 in the preseason to set the tone! I wish Mr. Eagleston a lot of luck!

This needs to be reviewed by the rules committee. There is no WK0 in the challenge.

Gibby was a regular outfielder for the Tigers, not a pinch hitter. Gates Brown was our best pinch hitter.
That being said, Gibby probably had the most memorable pinch hit of all time in the 1988 World Series, his walk off HR off Eckersley, it was Gibby's only AB of the series as he was injured.

I'm glad nobody's thrown a flag.
I got down at Under 8 +100 and I will gladly take a push!

Bet365 is dealing +170 for under 8.5 in live betting mid 2nd inning.
Fingers crossed for Mr. Bowling.

The shame of it, I was so concentrated on getting the best number, I passed on under 9 on the Detroit/Minny gane because it wasn't the best number after adjusting from 9.5. At 9.5, the under was greater than -110

8 runs in, 3rd inning isn't complete, one of those games where it just wasn't my day. I cannot see tbis going scoreless the rest of the way. With the front 11, came up with a solid 7 pin tap for 299
17-13 was a good run, but not good enough.

6 - 3 bottom of 3rd, thats a wrap! I can enjoy the rest of my night in peace. It has been an honor and pleasure playing. Gave it a valiant effort, but came up a bit short. Thanks for the opportunity!
Valiant effort, indeed.
Thanks for participating, 299.
