Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.

i'm optimistic and haven't even started drinking yet...i'll take the OVER.
I say under.
He will have between 7-9
wow, thanks, I actually wanted to say under!
It doesn't matter if I respond, does it?
Over, but are you following your rules or the new rules.
Under.
Never tell me the odds.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBS!
It's a good thing I'm not in this round because I think he will have exactly 9.5 (striking out a relief pitcher who has 10 or less PA counts as a half, right?).
So far we've got:
Neeebs takes over, so hawkhandler takes under
In Vin Veritas takes over, so CV fan is happy with the under
Fernie V takes the over, leaving Keven C with the under
We need a call from Steve K or Loney Fan, and there's only a half-hour until game time (we're calling it 7p sharp)
We need to give it to Loney Fan, the last one out there.
wait, I forgot to mention:
--hawkhandler hasn't signed in, so he may be eliminated if he doesn't do so soon
--still waiting for Steve K and Loney Fan
Thread is LOCKED
Neeebs advances (hawkhandler does not show)
Steve K and Loney Fan both lose, leaving Josh S to coast through tomorrow's round
Face-offs are live between In Vin Veritas (over) and Central Valley Fan, and Fernie V (over) and Keven C.
Good luck!
One down 9 to go
2 down 7 to go
4 down 6 to go.
don't give up hope Fernie V
5 Ks for the kid
5 down 5 to go, we got a lead he can relax.
he is up there in pitches
I'm not happy about betting the under, I just know, if I bet over, then we would lose. I'm an albatross that way!
Maybe I blinded Sax with my nakedness. I was actually the UNDER. Point is moot, I guess.
@neeebs, you did indeed have the under. my bad
A win, but it still feels dirty.
Go bullpen!
damn it this actually made it interesting. How about a losers bracket?
Congrats Keven if this game goes south i am blaming you.
Under!
Am I too late???
Sorry Steve K! You're out...
You mean I can't make a bet after looking at the box score??? That's just unfair.
Seriously, though, I can't believe I completely forgot to do this!
Well that sucks. Escrow on a short sale is a real son of bitch! Spent all evening running around and then packing. Just missed the cut off. Congratulations CVF! Glad to see a "Fan" win.
how many 0-2 counts did the kid have tonight??? a shit ton i believe. slider was just not slidy enough to make fools look foolish. Paraprosdokian much?
pops gave me gin tonight...sorry folks.
I don't know how much fun this is going to be when half of the participants are incapable of participating.
True true. But then, we Sons are incapable of humor or sarcasm or commitment and five years later we are still f'ing around on this blog
