If they tie up the board with informational comments and debate there is sure to be repercussions.

Gameday: GMJR doubles on line drive to RF deflected by SS. So are they playing the shift on GMJR? LOL.

I just laugh out loud every time I see this character on the mound for the Astros. What is with that bird like point with the ball on the mound?

100-1 odds for Wright to lead the majors in home runs. 50-1 for Bay.

I’m kinda tempted to take Wright’s. He’s bulked up, his swing is looking good..you never know. As long as i’m throwing money around anyway. would be kinda cool to turn $5 into $500. That’s better than the $150 I get if the Mets win it all.
