    twins @ Orioles saturday

    I get the starters rated dead-even for this first go, barring either showing anything they should both be a tad worse than league-average, best as I get so far. Every year bullpens are wait and see, but I have to give an edge to O's starting the season. Bats pretty even too, from what I get, but...

    yankees @ Jays Saturday

    The baseball lines, so far, have done little for me. Looking at them, now, and yanks at -105 (Jays currently -103, Pinnacle) sure looks friggin' tempting. The pitching matchup, starter-wise, has to be a wash, with probably an edge to Sabathia in that regard, though small. Big edge in the...

    who has this new mound visit rule straight in their head?

    I get the 6 visit thing, I think. Any visit after that and the pitcher must be changed. How about the starter gets taken out after a 6th mound visit and then the reliever needs a talking to by coaches...no visit allowed? I also think the rule regarding position players coming over and talking...

    The Return of the Hedgemonster

    This time not a personal example but some anecdotal BS. (I guess a personal example would qualify as 'anecdotal BS', but this is third-party noise) Something I heard on a podcast. Tell me if my interpretation is correct. What I heard: Dude has a future on Nevada to win the NCAA at 300-to-1...

    help...looking for a stat (team record, 1-run games, a home-away split for same)

    The record in 1-run games is all over the place, e.g. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2017-standings.shtml with teams playing about 35-50 each, in 2017. I am in "need" of such records as a home-away split, in some fashion, if available. Drop word if scrabble permits.

    favorite Led Zeppelin song containing the letter 'Q'

    It's a parody of parody. Nevermind. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pu94mWlgzMY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    how to evaluate hedging propositions, in-game or otherwise, with an example

    I've thought about this before but had another encounter with a 'guaranteed win' proposition set up today. The in-game stuff is relevant and I think it is the way of the future for anyone crazy enough to try to make a living through sports wagering, but I'll postpone further comment, there...

    Minny Wild back-to-back Friday-Saturday

    ouch with Dubnyk nursing a 'lower-body injury' as I was hoppy on Wild at a better than +100 at Florida Panthers for Friday, as I was guessing they'd pull out the full effort to grab 2 points in this matchup between 2 pretty crappy teams, especially with a date at the Lightning the following day...

    anybody else love week 13?

    I'm doing fine, thanks, but I swear that week 13 has been a stellar go for me since 2000. Week 13 then--same years Ravens beat Giants as an easy doggie in Superbowl to conclude my year--is the whole reason I had to start playing on-line as opposed to the Canadian Sports Select shit that I was...

    crap game by Brady but Pats still covering numbers

    I noticed it early, and it continued. Brady was crap. Apparently, the Bills, as foreseen by most who've watched them, blow chunks. Pats D has been excelling but not much to take from this game--Bills O not much of a test.

    thurs nov 9 lightning@Kings

    Decent chance that TB's Peter Budaj could make his 3rd start in this game, with Andrei Vasilevskiy playing last night; TB has been working him to death, and Wednesday's ended up being a very peaceful game for all Lightning after the 1st minute of play was done, so who knows; I'm sure they...

    Leafs goaltending

    I'm trying to remember a Leafs goaltender--say, for about the last 45 years or so--that I disliked more than I dislike Frederik Andersen. I've been a Leafs for that long, plus or minus infancy. I'm having trouble but google rocked with my search 'maple leafs goaltenders throughout history,'...

    Dodgers Stadium weather factors?

    I missed the commentators words, following Springer's dinger, which were something about the ball not flying out as well as in games 1 & 2. I'm curious if this is humidity-related or what as I certainly noticed games 1&2 having the ball seem to fly way farther than I expect in that park...

    Leafs

    Holy crap, if you want to see textbook shit play, in your own end, check out the Leafs. Pathetic. I've been watching too many Leafs games this year and--wow--they can't get it out of their own end if they have the puck, a second guy clear, and a defender a distance away. Mind-boggling. With the...

    need help confirming a Germany Regional North soccer score

    congrats to the Judge on #50

    Dude had slowed down in the 2nd half; nothing too exceptionable about that, but had a couple a couple of days ago in losing cause to Jays and then 2 more today leaves him alone with the rookie record for homers in a season. I totally remember following the whole 1987 season pretty closely...

    need opinion from any physics experts/novices/whatevas

    This story from PhysicsWorld: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2016/mar/30/new-gravimeter-on-a-chip-is-tiny-yet-extremely-sensitive Is this real, Memorex or an April Fool's Joke? None of the above, perhaps? Thank Hendrix for coming baseball. I need an escape from this reality BS.

    anyone else having shitty remastered audio experiences?

    I'm finding it a total mistake to upgrade my older audio. Recent absolutely garbage remastered audio I've experienced includes The Doors LA Woman (a 2007 remaster), all 1st 4 Black Sabbath discs (more recent) and a couple of Zeppelin discs (II and III, if memory serves). On some songs the mix...

    8-6-2 +5.38 --- 1st5 nationals +110 1/1.1 nationals ov3.5 +111 1/1.11 --- I have as little faith in the nats bullpen as I do in the Rays' Erasmo Ramirez so I'll stick with the 1st5--I have no issues with Gio, despite some relatively average work lately. Instead of the ml I grabbed the team...
