I don't like it when people do that. Last night proved once again that anything can happen in sports.

BOL tonight.

Forget about Broxton. The most overrated closer in the Major League IMHO. Give me the Giants closer Wilson everyday of the week. Glad to hear you like the Rangers! Best of luck to you tonight Jordy! :toast:

When I was in a higher tax bracket prior to the
mortgage industry collapse over last 3 years- I recall being 29 years old in 2006 and having 5400 on padres -106 peavy vs lowe- the total was like 7 for the game.... Padres up 9-5 in top of bottom of 9 and Trevor Hoffman and another reliever surrendered 4 b2b hr to the dodgers. The padres ( my wager) then took the lead in top of tenth... A wager I should them statistically win better than 90% of the time... And the padres then walked a guy in front of nomar in bottom 10 th- and he followed with a 2 run hr 11-10 dodger win- I lose....

They said 4 b2b hr hadn't happened in over 200,000 games let alone to win/ tie game. Of course I shoulda known when dbax hit 4 hr in a row this week- that old ghost of worst beat I ever took was coming back to haunt me.

I check that box score every now and then dumbfounded the way some stare at old love letters... I think it was September 12, 2006... But I'm prolly wrong about the day.. It's the only 11-10 game these two teams played that month so it's Ez to find when I'm feeling like torturing myself

Zeke! You have outstanding memory recollection of details about baseball but trust me when I tell you to throw that old box score away. Keep the box scores of your big winners only. Helps keep you in the positive when you need it. Nothing good comes from going back and reminding yourself of the negative. Remember just a few days ago, you went 8-0 and hit the 7 team parlay. You've got the talent. No doubt about it. Just watch your money management a little. I've been there over and over again believe me. So I truly understand how you feel. Hang in there my young friend!

Jordy: After the conclusion of the game, it got understandably heated and was put into the rubber room. Here is the link:
