Leonard Zelig

This guy has pitched fewer innings than Nate Jones in the past 4 seasons. I see lots of optimism about this, but I don't expect much. I hope I'm wrong.

Sure, "Cleveland Native Americans" doesn't have the same ring to it, but Indians... are... from India. Sorry, Columbus, but you missed your target. National Museum of the American Indian

Nice work guys! This is a great resource for those of us who don't follow the minor leagues very closely. Since you asked, the only thing I may have done differently was have it count down instead of up for a little extra suspense.

It didn't get lame with the Bulls, but they took 2 years off, otherwise it may have.

Is this for pot? If so, this is so stupid.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 11:06 AM) Yes but you only pay if you lose so the example here is the -105 for the over had reduced juice but the under was where the money was at, -115. The lines start at -110 so you can see how they were skewed. -123 started at -115, so the U 21 would be at -107 because the money was going for the O pretty heavily. So instead of moving the line, the vig changes, that makes more sense now.

I am unfamiliar with online betting, so I don't understand why the vig varies so much on bets where they have set the line. Caps vs Devils O 5.5 -105 K Kanepi vrs C Suarez Navarro O 21 -123 The book set the line on both of these, but on one you're paying 5% and the other its 23%.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 05:20 AM) No? How is betting overs or spreads even remotely close to favorites? When you have to risk more than you are going to win, that would be a favorite.

Do you only take favorites? I don't read every post, but every money line I've seen has been - .

Why are we limited to those 2?

QUOTE (spiderman @ Dec 18, 2017 -> 11:56 AM) Are there any updates on this story or was this an overreaction to news reports that weren't fully vetted? There has been a lot of discussion as to why the White Sox would trade assets for a possible 1 year rental and/or if Machado/White Sox would be willing to come to an agreement on a large deal with other big market teams likely interested next off-season.... Should we expect any Machado news in the near future and/or at all? Yes!

This American Life recently re-aired an episode from 1997 about Harold Washington. He died around Thanksgiving 30 years ago. I found it interesting, I was in grade school then and I remember some stuff about that time, but at that age you don't really understand what is going on. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-arch...isode/84/harold

Why would Philadelphia trade for him? They lost more games than the White Sox last year.

Does Anderson have any experience in CF?

Please excuse my ignorance, but when does Jones take office?

I doubt the Sox trade Avi or Abreu before Stanton gets moved.

If anybody is interested, you can listen to the album that a band I play in is about to release here, for free: The May Day Orchestra It's original music, not poppy at all, but if the description below sounds interesting, check it out. The May Day Orchestra began as a folk band and has morphed over the last decade into the current rock quartet heard on the new album "Wake". Beginning as a side project of Tim Rakel's group Bad Folk in 2008 to consider political and historical themes album by album rather than song by song, the band is releasing its third full-length recording. The first record dealt with "May Day" itself and the American labor movement of the 1880s in Chicago. From there, the group expanded it's instrumentation and covered the story of Ota Benga, a pygmy man from Congo who wound up a human exhibit at the Saint Louis World's Fair in 1904. The current project, Wake, takes on similar issues of colonialism and imperialism with an African setting. The more recent history of Kenya is interposed with the tale of Yusuf bin Hasan, a 17th century sultan turned pirate.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) "Of the future" implies that those players are not on the MLB roster. That said, which group makes you more comfortable moving forward: A. Garcia L. Garcia Cordell Delmonico Tilson Engel Jimenez Polo Fisher Call Rutherford Robert OR Sanchez Burger I wouldn't argue that 3B appears to be a bigger concern than OF. I just try not to count the chickens.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 12:17 PM) Stanton makes zero sense for the White Sox. Their OF of the future is pretty shored up. It's 3B that poses the biggest long term concern (enter Manny Machado next offseason). I don't think the Sox should trade for Stanton, but has any of this shored up OF played a MLB game yet?

Binge drinking can do that.

QUOTE (Soha @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 08:26 AM) A bottom feeder team playing well when the pressure is off in September is fool's gold if you're thinking it will progress from there. The pressure was off by June.

Look, I'm sorry, what can I do to make it up to you?
