Sticky: Runs in the 9th are not worth more than other innings. Stop bitching.

Budworth22 · Apr 9, 2008

No more complaining about blown saves. Christ Almighty! This is fucking ridiculous! If a team has a bad pen, include that in your capping. Nobody says "ANOTHER FIRST INNING LEAD GIVEN UP!", but the runs are worth the SAME you dumbshits!

its like the same thing as a lead change from the other team in the last 2 min in the NBA lol

I motion this thread be a "sticky." Every year, we start out with the same thing, millions of blown save threads.

Yeah but a last second shot to win is not equivalent to a basket in the first quarter psychologically. Very poor argument. :think2:

jammanxc · Apr 9, 2008

Its all the same motto... "No lead is ever safe..." look at Memphis last night

Psychologically? If you're in this for a psychological high, quit now. People need to be tough and use actual fucking logic when dealing with their losses.

sorry it is just shocking...these are professional athletes getting paid millions, they have to come in and pitch one inning and they cant even do that

People would complain about 1st inning runs if their team couldnt come back from them. It is usually against the odds if a team blows the save and trails in the ninth.

Bentlino · Apr 9, 2008

But losing at the end with two outs is extremely frustrating and much different than a team starting of the game with a lead in the first inning. It leaves a horrible taste in your mouth.

These are also professional athletes getting paid millions to hit the ball.

Do you find it shocking every time a scoreless inning it not recorded?

If by against the odds you mean that it is more likely than not that the pitcher will not allow a run, then I agree. But it is not shocking. We know that pitchers allow runs. Games do not end in scoreless ties.

how bitter are you...maybe you should bump up your bedtime and then you wouldnt have to worry about reading these kinds of threads

Gator627 · Apr 9, 2008

I mean it is against the odds that the team that blows the save, if they fall behind while blowing the save, will still win the game. If you are watching your team and think you are going to win, only to have them lose it in the ninth. It sucks. Flat out. It especially sucks when you are backing a team with a solid closer.

I can agree with that. You shouldn't watch the games you bet on. It causes your evaluations of players to become even more skewed.

I will give everyone a tip, KRod is hiding a serious, degenerative injury. It has caused his motion to change since an unnamed point last year.

Do not see a problem with someone venting after a tough loss...

Wanting to censor that on a gambling forum is plain asinine.

Can we make a designated thread for blown saves? That way we don't clog the forum?

this late at night it isnt clogging shit...there are only about 3 threads that getting read and updated as we speak...dont see why it is botherin you so much

and there is only one blown save thread right now

TonyMar · Apr 9, 2008

I read that all the time...about the forum being "clogged"...

Maybe the problem is...that there are too many picks threads in here...with posters that do not provide records and accurate lines.
