Official Weekly Baseball Contests Picks & Standings Thread - PART II Starts @ Post #359

[JOH]

Guys, I'm tired and hung over. Back from Saratoga. I may have past posted Minnesota? Not intentional. Maybe something else? Please check and disqualify as needed. Whenever I rush, I screw things up. Sorry about that.

Wish I wasn't where I am or I would've been up there too.

Late posts are covered in the rules. Gotta go with what you posted.

 

[Michelangelo]

LOL! Well I think your explanation was quite reasonable. Anybody who is tired and hungover from Saratoga is ok in my book. Let the picks stand IMO.

How was it? Hope you were able to get some of that Chad Brown money at Arlington yesterday.

Naw. Had the stinkin' Irish shipper favorite in exacta boxes with the 10 and the 6. Ran a close third. Not good enough. Were you there, Bloker? Hope you knocked it down. Real nice prices

But I did collect a $60.00 win ticket on The Pooch in the last race at Toga which was off the turf and in the slop (started raining late in the card. Came down in buckets.) $13.00 winner. Collected $390.00. Had a couple of nice prices earlier, too. Got out even with all expenses paid. That's a win. Today, however was a loss. Part of those "all expenses" were a lot of celebratory beers between me and my buddies. Too many. I'm paying now.

Gonna be back for Labor Day weekend. If any of you guys are there, a beer is on me. Would sure love it if you were feeling anything close to normal by then, JOH. Speedy recovery for you, bud.

Congrats MA, another awesome week!

 

[JOH]

Congrats to Michelangelo once again. For the 3rd week in the past four, he brings home the bacon, this week for another $125. A seemingly insurmountable lead going into the last day was actually in jeopardy until Livin the Family Life!'s Padres ML went down to the Dodgers. Otherwise we would have had a whole different outcome. Bltuncc27 also made a nice run on Sunday but still would've fallen just short even after running the table. A Giants win in the nightcap together with an additional unit on her BAL total play would've been enough to make the last to first jump to victory. Anyway, woulda, coulda, shoulda. Bottom line, our winner is hot as a pistol and is taking no prisoners.

[JamesHat]

Congrats again MA! Stay hot brother

 

[Bloker]

Outstanding job once again, MA. Givin' us an education!

That #6 was a real nice price in the Million at 73-1. Too bad that 10 didn't do a bit better for you. Good picking there too.

Wasn't able to get out there unfortunately. Looked like a great day of racing.

 

[Michelangelo]

Naw, no education. Just having some key games fall my way. Sure doesn't always happen like that.

You guys are all solid handicappers. Enjoy the competition. Thanks for the nice words.
