how does one not "blindside block" if the player isn't looking at him? I get player safety but this rule is retarded

woodruff back pitching for one last push for Milw

But he basically was an opener, only pitching 2 innings. Why not just put him in the bullpen?

"I couldn’t tell you a thing about most teams but I know how to mathematically dissect the lines and statistics to find my edge. Little John is the opposite, he can tell you everything about the teams and he has a knack for getting good information." https://thesharpplays.net/the-future/

"While TSP is more of a man of the people type, I am more of a “hey, how’s it going, go fuck yourself.” type of person. I think it will make for a fun combo here."

"...Who am I really? I worked offshore as a data analyst and eventually became Director of Risk Management for a sportsbook. Now the position is often referred to as “Director of Trading” at a sportsbook. You manage the action, layoff when necessary, assess risks and liability to ensure a stable operation with consistent profits and low volatility. I did that for over 15 years for one of the best known offshore operators. When the company got sold, I did not like the new low risk and square method of operation instituted by the new management. I took my cash-out and I left. Currently, I bet professionally and travel extensively."

Gotta give the Brewers a ton of credit, everyone counted them out when Yelich went down, but they've been playing great ball since his injury

Always a little sad to see the greats struggle at the end of their career, I think it's time for King Felix to hang 'em up

I was really hoping he would go out with a good outing in front of the home fans today. Sad to see him as a $2 dog

KC / detroit game is ???

When a teammate intentionally drops a foul pop up so a pitcher can get their 200th strikeout, I have a problem with that. Reminds me of when Favre let Strahan purposely sack him. What are stats if they are not accomplished in the flow of the game?

100% agree, so Minor got his 200 K's, but when his head hit the pillow last night and he was thinking about it, he knows deep down he didn't really get 200

I somehow missed the Early Pick 5 yesterday at Santa Anita.

Did not include the $31.00 horse in the second race despite going eight deep with a lot of price horses.

Note: It's a 14% takeout in the Early Pick 5 at Santa Anita but a 23.68% in the Late Pick 5.

Beware.

Came across a stat that's almost impossible to believe. Since 2001, Tom Brady has more wins in Buffalo, than any Bills QB

The Dolphins haven't scored in the second half of any game this year

Congratulations to former Hurricane Frank Gore "The Ageless Wonder" for becoming only the fourth RB in NFL history to rush for 15,000 yards in a career, joining Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, and Barry Sanders

The Patriots have more non offensive TD's this year than the Dolphins have total TD's

Goodell finally got one right, Vontez Burfict is suspended for the rest of the season, if you didn't see the hit yesterday, it was one of the dirtiest plays you'll ever see

USC used to bait him into at least 2 personal fouls a game when he was at ASU. Total nut job.

By all accounts, he's supposedly a pretty chill guy off the field. Not a trouble maker at all.

But for some reason in-between those lines, he's a fucking thug moron.

still waiting for CG tech & the superbook to expand to other states. The wynn just inched closer to open in NJ. I would expect them to open in NJ around the super bowl date.

With all the mass shootings in the U.S. these days, I walked into a Taco Bell on the sketchy east side of Las Vegas today and grabbed the seat closest to the exit.

It's all about risk and reward.

Your biggest risk is eating at Taco Bell

Hopefully at least one more week. I want him on the sidelines in Glendale next Sunday.

The under, at any number folks got, came in comfortably.

Nicely done, X.
