May or may not be a good spot to note that since signing with the Cubs, "the best closer available!" entering 2019 has so far cost Cubs just over $700k per inning pitched and they are still on the hook for another $34m
There was a reason nobody touched him last off season. His analytics all pointed to this fall off.
Remember he only got signed in the middle of last season.
Great! Then lets start. What do you want to play? Sports, Poker, ect. You can choose and we will proceed from there.
oh I am highly aware
If you can find the Offshore Forum thread from about late May/early June I was a volcano surrounded by ants with regard to firmly stating he (or any other man who works avg 60 IP) was a poor investment at anything more than maybe $5m
And via hindsight we can see that was even overly optimistic
You talk shit, you call me out, then you want me to do all the work, priceless, go figure
And remember, don't wager more than you can afford to post up. No free rolling here
There's a 7th inning guy snagging $12m?
oh wait...you mean Kimbrel?
I don't play poker, never had, said so on numerous occasions
Bucks are like + 350
C's are like + 700
I'll post up $ 1,750 for you if the Bucks win
You post up $ 3,500 for me if the C's win
Whoever wins gets $ 5,250, if neither wins we get our money back
Who do you want to hold the money? I nominate the man who holds the money for most of the forum contests, if he's willing to do such.
I won't reach out to him unless we agree on the terms

If we can find updated odds offered by a sportsbook tomorrow, we use them instead. But the concept remains unchanged

Metro, I confess I approached "Opening Day2020" (July 24) w a highly skeptical attitude as someone who attended his first MLB game in Sept 1969
I still view it as primarily a high level hybrid of exhibition/real season but it has done well to give all clubs a better platform for entering Spring 2021. Like most seasons, I watch or radio listen while working a jobsite to almost every game
Probably helpful that my preferred team remains tops in the American League but regardless there are still plenty of 45+ year old men actively following The Great Game and many of us have fully recruited our 30something sons
Going to run to get something to eat. Let me take a look at odds and ill get back too you in the next 45.
See, with the poker stuff, that's why i wanted you to chose what we were playing. You told me my poker theory was awful yet you don't even play, um okay.
So updated odds are Bucks +400 Celtics +500 https://www.betonline.ag/sportsbook/futures-and-props/nba-futures
I'll lay 2.5k against your 2k.
Lmk, so we can make this official.
I'm reaching out to the man who is treasurer for forum contests. We have to post up before the Bucks tipoff today at 6:30 est
I never said your poker theory was awful, I said you're analogy was awful
Comparing a card game to a pitcher's conditioning
I never comment on poker strategy, I know me and I know what I think
