I don't know if we are turning on Riccardi, but he does get involved in stupid things when he opens his mouth.
The Jays have had some tough breaks with injuries the last few years, there is no doubt they are a good squad. But when you are in the same division as the Yanks and Sox. Good just doesn't cut it.

This is true.
The Jays will be fine, they just need to stop throwing their young pitchers arms into the ground.
That quote I posted a while back was shocking to me.
Haven't heard much about them this offseason, I wonder if they'll be active come the Winter Meetings.

What quote?
I know they offered Salary abitration to Burnett, and not to Greg Zaun.
There was a couple of small deals. However the owner of the company that owned the Jays, passed away Yesterday. So it will be interesting to see what direction they choose?

The quote that listed 4-5 good, young, talented pitchers who are either A. done for their career or B. recovering from major surgery ala Tommy John.
Marcum, Chacin, McGowan, etc.
Did Rogers really have that much of a say in personnel moves of his teams?
Yes, but it's not like the money he allocated for this offseason is going anywhere. Who's to say his son (or whomever takes over his funds) won't be more willing to sign high priced free agents?
Who knows?
Ted Rogers held Toronto Culture and and Canadian culture close to his heart. He bought the Jays fearing they would follow the footprints of the Expos, even though he wasn't a sports fan. He felt that Toronto deserved a winner.
Who know what the plan of action will be with the Jays?

All week had planned on betting the Wake Forest Moneyline over Indiana, but it's not even being offered it's so high. Syracuse is -2600 over Cornell at -18, so at -21 you'd have to think Wake Forest was at least -3000. In other words, to win a $100 dollars, you'd have to bet $3,000 dollars. In all seriousness, there are going to be some games this year where I'll be wagering my entire worth (not just my online bankroll) on IU's opponent on the ML.

lost the Bobcats game by a point; missed a meaningless free throw with 5 seconds remaining, Bucks get the board, Bobcats foul again and thats that... Otherwise would've had a huge day winning big on the Celts.
Actually threw a small play on the Raps last night and boy what a bad decision it was. Sometimes new coaches inspire teams, I thought getting 5 while the Jazz were without Boozer was a decent bet. I thought wrong. I won't be throwing anything on the Raptors for a while.
Who do you like on this Championship Saturday?
Still on the fence in this one.
Florida is the best team in the country IMO. All week I've thought they'd cover this number because "the number one team getting ten points" just seemed too easy.
Hmm...

Trying something new out in pucks tonight with the totals.
The Sharks simply don't lose at home. If they do, I'm fucked.
Hawks/Bruins are more sentimental than anything else, but you got to love the Blackhawks at +165 regardless of who they're playing and the Bruins have been en fuego of late.

Jesus christ Hawks.
I get done writing about how I'd take them at +165 against anybody and they're already down 2-0.
Fucking A.

Hey, what do you know? A good night for a change.. Thinking I might change my style. I'm going to go back and calculate but I think I hit my big plays at an incredible rate and my smaller plays at a slightly below .500 record. I'm an action junkie mainly because I like being able to root for a team on televised games as it makes the game more interesting. With that said, it's cutting in to my potential profits. I'll still play 5 unit plays but I'm going to try and avoid playing all of my leans being more selective in the process.
2-4
Bad day. Florida and Navy who I loved should have been my big plays. What a homer move on Boston College... another year, another BC team that fails to go to a BCS bowl.

This is really my first time going through all the sports, having started at the beginning of this summer with baseball.
Baseball is tricky because even the worst teams win 60 games but overall, I had a pretty successful run this summer with my best bet being an afternoon Padres game where the over/under was 6 (the lowest total of the year), winning on the under of a 3-2 game.
Football is probably the best sport to bet on. I went on a run at one point this year where I was 15-2 in two consecutive weeks in NFL, but really struggled down the stretch as the lines started to get harder. Every game it seems is right around what the oddsmakers predict, look no further than last nights Bears -3. I was really good in College Football this year and am just itching for the Bowl Season to start up.
Basketball is up there with Baseball and Football as the best sport to bet on. Still too early to really tell how I've fared, but I did predict that Pacers upset over the Lakers, where something like 99.6% of the ML bets were on the Lakers. *pats back*
With all that said, the worst sport by far and away to bet on is hockey. I tested the waters and have won big twice on the Bruins this year but at the same time, of my 14 losses, 8-10 of them were shoot out losses that just didn't fly my way. I've been told that in the end it'll even itself out, but I'm not sure how much longer I can wait. That Sharks game and Blackhawks game on Saturday night was just the icing on the cake for me.
What about you? Do you gamble?
