Kind of surprising. I know he was dealing with injuries the last few years.

Interested to see if Nadal can make a run in Rome. I sort of like Holger Rune to win it, he is the best young talent in the sport aside from Alcaraz.

Ben Shelton is making a push to be the top American player over Fritz. USA has lacked a men's power player for a while. We have a bunch of good but not great players.

Cut Kimbrel tomorrow. He is worthless.

Entertaining first quarter.

You need to stop jinxin ****....

Williams is a solid pitcher, and the Nats bullpen did their job. 

I expect Bradish to twirl a gem tomorrow though. 

All my previous predictions in this thread have been on point, save that one game against the Yankees where Gil pitched magnificently. He pitched well tonight too. Astros are so washed it is silly.

^ 2-1 with those.  I'm just gonna keep going cuz I'm rolling right now.  Tuesday action:

Dallas Stars -125

Phillies -135

Royals -130

Three team parlay (Orioles -210, Dodgers -330, Yankees -120) bet $50 to win $126.32

Maybe even worse is a few possessions before the phantom kick ball, IND had to use their challenge on another bad call.

 

Left them without a challenge left to argue the kick ball.

Yes, although the kick ball is not reviewable, as I understand it. So they couldn't have challenged even if they had one left.

Kenny Smith had a good idea in the post-game. Let a team have two challenges, and if they get them both right, then grant them a third.

I always prefer having refs review plays. Forget how long it extends the game, just get the damn call right.

I can't get over how bad of a call that kick ball was in the Knicks game.  I was the only one who commented on it in the thread.  Like....what the ****?  Tie game, 50 seconds left, and the Pacers have a fast break going.  How is that not reviewable either?  Another game where the refs decided the outcome.  Trash.

They are slow. I can tell their effort is gone too. They know they aren't winning this game. They might get swept.

Am I the only one that thinks Shaq adds very little to the NBA on TNT? Yes, he messes with chuck but that's about it. 

Yeah he just sort of mumbles. Not much insight or analysis. I like the guy but he is bland.

I knew Timberwolves were great defensively. I still bet the under even though Gobert is out. Even I didn't think the Nuggets would be this bad.

Final score Timberwolves 112- Nuggets 84.

Nuggets look washed. Zero defense. 

****ing flop

That was not a kick ball.

Bro....Toppin between the legs fast break dunk.

That Hartenstein half court three might end up being the difference in the game.

Monday action:

Under 206.5 Timberwolves/Nuggets

Cubs -110

Royals -140

Good luck 🤞

Gonna go 2-2 today unless the Hurricanes have a crazy comeback.  One last bet, over 5 -137 in the Stars/Golden Knights coming up.  I sort of want to take the Golden Knights +130, how many times have we seen the #1 overall seed go out in the first round in the NHL?  Often.  Gonna lay off though.

Gonna sweep the Nationals starting on Tuesday as well 😁

How good has Kremer been this year?

He thought he could throw an 0-2 hanging slider right down the middle to Santander 😅

We are too good!  Kremer gonna pitch a gem.

You don't wait for the full lineup release before betting on the game?

Not typically, I might have some last minute bets, but I try to get on top of the lines before they switch.  I follow baseball pretty closely, I can sort of anticipate who will be in there.  There isn't one player who would sway my mind one way or the other, unless like Adley and Gunnar were both sitting or something.

Few more for today ✅

Orioles +110, I don't know why Vegas keeps disrespecting us.  Lodolo is pitching for the Reds, and he is pretty good, but not as good as the mighty Orioles bats.

Diamondbacks -110

Carolina Hurricanes -115

Pitching has been lights out this week.

It will continue tomorrow. Reds are trash we will destroy them.

Orioles -120.  Ride the hot team, they are better top to bottom than the Reds.  Reds have tons of speed, they don't hit for average well (.218 on the year).  Means' first start of the season, I think he will give us five solid innings.  Our bullpen has been pitching much better.  This is the lock of the day.

 

Dodgers -170, yes gotta pay a little extra juice for Glasnow.  I think he will win the NL Cy Young.

 

Mariners +120, Gilbert is an ace, Astros lineup is not exactly imposing right now.

 

Fire 🔥 

Under 194.5 in the Magic/Cavaliers game tomorrow. Both teams trash, it will be a 96-93 score.

I've had it since I was a kid, went to the doc for it when I was like 5.  It's ringing now.  And it's loud. 

I've gotten so used to it.  

I've had it for about two months and I am not a fan of it 😣 Got it after going to a loud bar with loud music.  A high-pitched buzz.  It is the worst at night when I am trying to sleep.

I lost my leg possibly from Prednisone. It was the only thing I could get that seemed to help with the swelling in my legs when I was in the hospital for pancreatic cancer. Somehow some bacteria got into my blood, and it was undiagnosed for at least a month because even though I complained that my legs felt infected my white blood cell count was normal so they said that I couldn't be infected. If I hadn't been taking Prednisone my immune system probably would have dealt with it or at least it wouldn't have gotten into my bones all over my body.

 

I was taking 120mg a day though. That isn't a normal dose.

Geez! God so sorry that happened to you!

I am on a six-day course, decreasing by one pill each day. Today is my last day, one pill left. It hasn't helped my tinnitus at all, so I won't take this final pill after reading that.
