I really hope the Celtics pull out this series

Because I had a chance to take the Cavs at 85-1 to win it all at the MGM on Friday night and didn’t because the book was closed. If they win it all, I am going to massively regret it.

Online gambling is still basically legal in California :)

I love parlays. I hate the Oklahoma State for the worst sports bet loss of all time, while we’re on the subject

I took Texas -2.5 @ OSU earlier this year. UT is up 3, OSU has the ball with about ten seconds to play – they miss, foul Augustin, he makes two free throws – five point game with 8 seconds to play. OSU runs down the court, and their guy heaves in a 30 footer with two seconds to play to cut the lead to two…. and then they don’t foul on the inbounds and cover by half a point.

You have any websites you use that are trustworthy?

I signed up for one, but they wanted my social security number, and I don’t give that to anyone unless I’m 100% sure I can trust them.

Also, none of them take credit cards or paypal, but I don’t know which companies I can trust (Firepay, etc.) to use instead.

Has anyone been prosecuted for gambling yet?

I know that it’s technically illegal a lot of places but it’s more to keep sites from aggressively marketing there, and they really have no way/intention of enforcing it.

14 counts of purjury and 1 count of obstruction.

I think that’s a lot.

I'm not mad just like I said, embarrassed.

And I’m especially embarrassed that I voluntarily waste my time with this team. I hate that I love even bad baseball.

There's something about losing

in baseball that is more poetic than any other sport can be.

Bad football or basketball is just so fucking boring and
excruciating.

You've got 10 minutes Mariners.

Do something interesting.

Did anybody see the pregame interview with Bavasi?

Did he actually admit that the team wasn’t ready coming out of spring training? Is he throwing Mac under a bus?

Well, if Washburn's is the short bus

This was a fucking ACDC Tour Bus. For Bill to admit that in public is a pretty big deal, especially since the comments made by the FO lately have all been positive for Bill and Mac while dumping on the players.

Or there's a small village under the team bus

Oh yeah Pittsburgh Vs. Philly is like methadone for a hockey fan – it’s just barely satisfies the need to watch hockey. Barely.

Hey man we scored 12 runs yesterday

Our bats are exhausted. Our allotted runs/series has been exhausted already.

That wasn't intersting Mariners.

See yeah.

can I just add

considering I dont think anyone is paying attention to this game

Does anyone else besides me think CJ Wilson is the fucking man?

You know who is really fucking good?

Chipper Jones..man alive.

I fucking hate you Mariners

I've been a fan of his for a long time

although I lost a lot of respect for him with his illegitimate children business.

Regarding the Johjima thing

There is a noticeably different opponent batting line between when Joh catches and when Burke / Clement catch. I know that simple analysis of stat lines like that don’t help us uncover shit, but could there be a pitch selection difference that’s resulting in the higher results?

Is it Johjima calling games more like they would in Japanese games? Do they throw more fastballs there? Does it really matter since the pitcher has the choice of what to agree to throw?

With word that Roger Hansen has come up to the club to deal with the “issues” between Washburn’s suck and Johjima, should we send somebody another Blog Letter wakeup call?

by The Typical Idiot Fan on May 13, 2008 6:40 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I know

I was thinking that with the lovely pitchfx data that we get, we can figure out the differences or percentages of pitches called by Joh vs. the other catchers.

Fastballs, especially on this piss poor fastball throwing team, result in a lot more hits and extra base hits. If there’s some correlation there, maybe there IS a problem with Joh, but still not anything that Washburn is talking about.

PITCHf/x definitely grants the ability to analyze this

but unfortunately it would take a pretty freaking long time. I don’t, however, understand why we should believe that a career minor leaguer knows how to handle a Major League pitching staff any better than Johjima does.

Shit

Thought Adrian got that one. Pretty big damn meatball.

In happy news

the Rays are threatening again.

In unhappy (to me but not Goose) the Dodgers are losing again.

Also its almost time to quit work for the day, too bad I’m not excited to go home.

Pittsburgh goes up 3-1 in the third

Uh Ohs. Pitt – Detroit. Just shoot me now.

At least it'd be way better hockey than Philly/Dallas

even if I don’t particularly care for either team.

They want this game to be rained out the fuckers
