  1. "Hey...there's no birthday party for me here!"
  2. What's up with ALPP? It just jumped over my buy-in point of .062. Up 26% on the day.
  3. Should've stuck around for the 10 minute zoom call with some Baylor spare, his dad and "Papa Favre." This is why I dvr and watch later, to ff thru crap like this.
  4. Don't go too cheap on the OBD. Get one that allows you to reset the warning. You gonna have to read reviews to make sure the 'reset' function actually works. But tighten the gas cap first.
  5. I thought they had to actually proceed to the center circle for the tip off. The Magic left the floor well before official tip time.
  6. I know it's Giannis, but other than that, it's still just Milwaukee and Orlando. Love 'em or hate 'em, if the Lakers don't go out, that will be extremely powerful.
  7. Catching up on some reviews. Thought this one was OK. Kinda stops and starts but the conclusions are different than what I was anticipating. This one started good, ended kinda meh. Quick read though, so right about when you feel like giving up on it, it's over. Waaaaaay too much detail about the geography of Berkeley which adds nothing to the story even if you're familiar with the area. Wife (no pics assholes) went to Cal so I know the area reasonably well and all I could think was, who tf cares. Just started this one. It's holding my interest quite well through the first few chapters.
  8. Well the Kaiser had a baby arm and Trump has a...
  9. Today I like: Rays -147 vs Blue Jays. Although Rays are 17-9 and I swear I've bet on them on all 9 of those losses. Brewers -132 @ Pirates. Pit sucks. Mil should bounce back after a series loss to the Twins. Which brings me to: Twins -143 @ Royals. Been riding the Twins and although they are better at home, I like them today. A's +105 vs Angels. Angels suck. Fiers hasn't done great this year, but Heaney only marginally better. Can't figure why the A's are home dogs. Finally, this one vexes me, seems so obvious. CHW @ CHC O/U is at 9.5. Why is that number so high? Yeah Wrigley has traditionally been a hitters park, and the wind is blowing out right now, and DH rule is in effect, but with Keuchel and Lester going, just seems like a sucker bet.
  10. He defeated Caesar at Gaul!
  11. $300 an oz seems...high. Probably closer to half of that.
  12. It was pretty obvious she was going to be the pick. I dunno man, if I was the R's, I would've thought about this a few weeks ago and come up with 2-3 solid talking points to release immediately upon announcement. There were at most 2-3 others for whom they needed to prepare.
  13. As many have said already, kind of a no brainer. I really hope it took this long to announce her because the dems were doing extremely deep vetting and preparing for any negativity that might come out.
  14. I've been watching and waiting for an entry point and kinda wondering why there's no discussion here. Sure seems to fit the very definition of a stonk.
  15. Yeah I'm somewhat ashamed that I've lived this long, frequented sites like surly and it's predecessors and never seen these names before. All I got is Mike Hunt.
  16. I am concerned that the volume of votes by mail will overwhelm the system, especially in those jurisdictions where it hasn't been used much. Look at what's happened to unemployment payment processing in many if not most states. They weren't used to having that volume of claims and it overwhelmed them. I haven't heard anything about states' plans to address this.
  17. Not sure whether it's funny or sad that it's so obvious he doesn't review what he's about to read, no matter what it is. He reads prepared statements like Larry Bud Melman used to read cue cards. Or like first graders who have to read aloud in class. You can easily tell where the line breaks are on anything he's reading.
  18. Nice call on the Reds yesterday. They are good value again today, at +141 but still a tough play. I like Minny in the early game, -191 but they are good and Pitt is...not. Also look for LAD to bounce back -129 at SD.
  19. You could get a VPN for a few bucks a month and connect to a server outside of the Houston market. But that would be cheating.
  20. I think I'll follow you on both of those. Also like Rays -182 at Orioles, kinda expensive. Might try to parlay that with something else. Liking over 9 A's/Mariners. Sea bullpen sucks. Also liking LAD -120 at Arizona.
  21. Yeah I'm with you on the Cubs. Although my line is -101 right now. Going with the Dbags +110. Only playing that one to get some early action, don't feel that strongly about it. Nats -172 as a visitor in their own park with Scherzer going. Indians +107 just cuz the White Sox suck. Thinking about continuing to ride the Rays +106 at ATL. Depending how all that goes, might go Padres -178, but that seems expensive. And LAA/SEA over 9. Rendon active and SEA bullpen looking rough.
  22. Didn't wanna leave you in here all by your lonesome Starting last season, for the most part, I've been paying less attention to the pitching matchups, except in obvious cases. With openers, 6 man rotations, starters 3-6 only going 4 innings by design, seems like starters are less important. Generally, just sticking with good teams with good odds, regardless of who's starting. Today, I got CLE just for grins to have early action. I like the Rays -135, they are the better team and even though some of the Braves have come back from COVID, that's still gotta affect them. Cubs +103, good odds on the better team. Padres -139, road favorites but I still believe the Giants are abysmal despite splitting with the Dodgers. And I gotta say, something really fishy about that Astros line. Even taking into account the starters, two top teams, the road team should not be a favorite.
  23. Sorry, I must've misunderstood the meaning of "stonk."
  24. Stopped out of NOVN at .88. Looking to get back around .78. IBIO jumped up to 5.14 and is down just below 5 now. I stopped out of IBIO at 5.23 last week. Might have to get back around 5.00. I'm finally in the green on ALPP, got in at .062. Must...resist....urge...to...get...out...
