If we don’t get robot umps next season…..

The trouble is I’ve not seen any of these updates from reputable sources or at least ones I’ve recognized. I haven’t searched it out and may be out of the loop, I admit. But I have been burned too many times getting excited over “this time Trumps really going down” events from the Eric Garland’s and the Seth Abramsons of the world

How’s this for stating a plain truth ….

I just made a banana bread hat. I'll drone it to ya

I don't know what Christie's job was, but I'll never forget the hostage video:

I'm quite intrigued with Anton after his stint in GR last season. I'm hoping he comes back across the pond after this season.

This was a two flusher

We need to watch other teams. The tigers are about as flawed as every other good team. They need to keep their stars healthy and hope they get some luck.

If there ever was a statement that defined this political section this is it. It doesn't matter how true something is as long as it says what you want. No wonder you can't have a legitimate conversation or debate in this group!

They made it through one round last year and could have made it two rounds if Skubal was sharp in game five versus the Indians. The playoffs are getting to be more like bullpen games every year. The bigger problem might be their bullpen which was better last year.

Maybe a mod should rename this thread How Gaza Got Trump Elected, then we can start a new thread about the war/geneocide/whatever we want to argue what it actually is.

With 16 teams making the playoffs and 4 team divisions, I think sub-.500 making the playoffs will be a faily common occurrence.

So since some Epstein survivors are supposed to speak out on Wednesday, September 3, I have a feeling the next day ot 2 will be filled with gigantic distractions from them. Trump not making any appearances and all this health speculation, …. this is a way to make the next couple of days worth headline stories be all about him. I just have a feeling this is all a very calculated way to take away coverage from their story on Wednesday.

2 recent examples with baseball props: They manipulate the payouts on parlays now. As with every book, they can change odds based on whatever they choose and that’s fine. The payout should be standard and shouldn’t change based on a player or team. A parlay of +400 and +400 should pay a standard +2500. Even if it they tweak it and want to lower it to f you, every parlay of the exact same odds should pay the same. Neither of these are true at FD. They use some unknown method to determine parlay payouts and it changes depending on the player. Have had some very weird situations where a +500/+400 parlay paid less than a +500/+350 They are also the only book that won’t void a no start in baseball. Every other book needs a batter to be in the starting lineup to play. FD does not and will keep the bet live even if a player pinch hits later and only gets one AB. You bet with the expectation of 3 or 4 AB rather than just 1. They stick you with a 1 AB play and with odds that are set like they were starting. If you live bet the 1 AB, your odds would be much better. You don’t get those odds. The most dastardly thing they do thought is they won’t let you cash the bet out and take your money back before the game starts. You have a parlay where all the legs haven’t started, they won’t let you void it once it’s been announced your player isn’t starting. They are the only book that operates this way.

It’s hard to believe he’s in a MLB uniform. Worst of all, it’s a Tigers uni.

No, although that’s a good one. My favorite one is After Hours the one with Ann Francis, and the mannequins. In the end she remembers who and what she really is.

The worse part is that they can put two D men on the ice together with only 163 games still not have that be close to the weakest pairing.

As we sit here on September 1 ,solidly in the drivers seat for a Division Title, no matter what happens in October we will have had 6 months of winning baseball so this has been a successful and wonderful Season. Now win the Bloody Title !!!!

Math is too hard. From now on the answer is six.

I can understand the hype around the Pack getting Parsons...look how many playoff games Dallas won with him...
