[mrbowling300]

JK, thank you very much for this opportunity, and thank you to the EOG community for the support!

The odds are against me, but I'll do my best to exceed my own expectations!

That being said, let's see what happens!

 

[MG Man]

Bowling300, how about an early pre August July 31 pick to warm up?

Good luck....you can leave 40 percent of the pins up here.

 

[MG Man]

300, I've never had one but my brother has, my uncle who is 82 has three and my nephew has 3. I hope you hit this pregame play and it is the start of good things to come. Good Luck!!!

Happy August everyone!

Happy August everyone!

Mixed emotions here

Happy for you but as a Dodgers fan not happy Los Gigantes won

 

[mrbowling300]

Thanks everyone....I feel like I opened the contest with a solid strike, and now I'm going for a double!

JK: Just checking, in the event I do not find anything I like for today, could I always make up with two selections the next day, or does there have to be a selection made each day?

 

[mrbowling300]

Selection #2:

Milwaukee -1.5 -105 RL over Pittsburgh 8:10ET start time.

 

[mrbowling300]

It's very difficult to find anything that is -110 or less. WNBA doesn't start up until mid Aug. At least we have NFL preseason coming too, and CFL, which should give more choices.

Agree which is why I requested later on and got November where I will have a lot to choose from. Sadly NO Premier League but I’ll manage…???

I'm looking for a great season of EPL, can't believe a few more weeks until we begin!

 

[bobodad]

Best of luck Mr. Bowling!

 

[mrbowling300]

Need some help offensively from the brew crew!!

 

[winkyduck]

Selection #2:

Milwaukee -1.5 -105 RL over Pittsburgh 8:10ET start time.

Great start. In Golf - you can't win a tourney on the 1st 18 holes - but you can lose it. You can't win this thing in Week 1. But you can lose it. 2-0 is a great way to start

 

[mrbowling300]

Bases loaded for pitt, top of 9, got a 5 run lead, need defense now!!!!

 

[mrbowling300]

Walks in a run, 6-2 top of 9, 2 out

 

[John Kelly]

Final score: 6-2, Brewers.

Two plays, two winners for MRBOWLING300.

 

[mrbowling300]

Called out on strikes. Guy stood there like the house by the side of the road and I covered the runline! Whew!

...and watched it go by.

I do miss Ernie Harwell.

Great start!

 

[mrbowling300]

Going to the well again, Milwaukee run-line -1.5 runs, -109 over Pittsburgh at Pinnacle. Line just dropped below the -110 threshold.

 

[mrbowling300]

Got a double, it is the 3rd frame, going for a turkey! Milwaukee has owned Pittsburgh this season. Hopefully can make it 3 in a row. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Great start!

Harwell's last season I got him to sign a ball for me. I took a picture with him and when I saw it I saw it looked like he had a huge afro because the plant behind him blended in perfectly with his head and made it look like he had an afro. Gotta find it and post it

 

[ejd_5277]

Harwell actually had 2 caught looking calls. The other was "called out for excessive window shopping."
