By the way, since it was my complaint about the gambling graphics that preceded the discussion, I am not concerned about players cheating. I just don't like the intrusion into the game that I'm watching. Also, I am concerned about impressionable young people whose judgment may not protect them from losing money they need.
This is what the NFL is running into as well. Guys are gambling on their own team!

Kike needs to pack it all up (or throw it away). What he can't carry, bury.
Interesting comments from him after the bloop single

Hernández was asked postgame if he agreed with Cora’s assessment that sitting for a few games would serve as a mental reset. His answer was a sarcastic one.
“Um, I guess, sure,” Hernández said. “We can say that. Yeah, sure.”
So, not really?
“I mean, agree to disagree,” Hernández admitted.
So ... not quite the binky?

Verdugo is the complete opposite of JD Drew everything looks harder than it should be. JD got such great reads everty ball looked like it was hit right at him. Verdugo is always adjusting at the last second, and it always seems dicey.

Michael Jordan had more money than just about anyone at the time between his NBA salary and his Nike deal. And yet his gambling was so bad it might have gotten his Dad killed.
Big salaries is no protection to another huge gambling scandal.

Is it just me, or does the way Derek Jeter pronounces "Negro League" awkward AF?

COme on didn't you see the Last Dance? Gambling had nothing to do with it. Also the guy that drafted Kwame Brown #1 overall and Adam Morrison 3rd has every right to trash the GM that won six rings.

@JohnnyTheBone great streak so far.
Please post for me.

Game 89
The Red Sox won, but don’t break out the kegs.
Can’t really celebrate beating the dregs.
Let’s see if this win streak has any legs.
Break’s almost here. Let’s move up a few pegs.
Let’s not be Bobbys. Let’s try to be Gregs -
Ryan not Griffin in the world of Megs.
(Please don’t bring Ort back even if he begs.)
