BCR, your sports posts are like what getting the old hard copy Sports Illustrated in the mail used to be like. You’re a homer but a realist. I like that.
I hate to filter everything through the prism of sports wagering but it’s who I am. I posted a sportsbook trip last week just for the Indians. I think I caught the Indians run early
This time of year you ride what’s hot and skip what’s not. Indians are hot. 9 of 11. Nationals, I wrote about them. I missed SF Giants.
Questionable night tonight. Definitely high scoring.
I’ve been betting & watching Indians every day for well over a week. I bet them so big I’ve had to drive to smoky casinos to get down. (I didn’t venture outside of the book other than taking a piss. No cards or dice. Business trips.)
Last night:
Bieber, complete game shutout in juice ball 2019. Bauer over 7 innings.
Are they a fun team to watch? No. Kind of workman-like tbh. No heroics. I don’t feel the same juice as Nationals or Giants.
What’s the deal with Bauer? I haven’t looked it up but he clearly has some mental issues. Autistic? He always looks mad. I was never alert to it before listening to the bettors in the sports book talk about it. Actually, there seems to be a lot of Bauer hatred out there. He has a history of becoming unwound? Kinda funny
You still see talk of Bauer being dealt. Wow. I am fascinated by the Giants situation too.
Deal or no deal? Howie Mandel?
Oh yeah, Tito is one of the greatest managers to have graced the diamond in the history of the game and still somewhat young. Lotta miles though. Very likable too. I kinda forgot about him lately. Props
I recommend Tito’s biography written after the Sawks fucked him over. Tito was candid Tito which is so rare. He lit the Sawks up. Genuinely hated the Sawks. A refreshing “I don’t give a fuck about consequences” reporting. Good beach read. He put you behind the doors of management. Informs your understanding of Sawks, Tito and Cubs/Epstein.
