What is surprising to me is not how far down Frisco is, but how far up the Cubs and Mets still are. And Texas should be higher. I think playoff experience is a big factor here.

1. It has to do with what more people would bet on |
|
Not really their chances of winning.

2. Honestly, at those odds, I think the best choice is Tampa |
|
They're moving in the right direction and they've still got a truckload of talent. And I say that as a Sox fan.

14. From a betting perspective, yes...I think they have a better chance than these odds... |
|
...however, I also don't think they'll win it all this year.

3. It's almost worth placing a $50 "fun" bet on the Nationals. |

5. Those are some drunken odds.....How can the Cubs and the Mets be listed |
|
as such favorites?
How can Atlanta be listed even with the Giants and Rangers (particularly with SF)?
And how can the Pirates not be listed at 9999-1?
:crazy:

And even I think we should be below San Fran and the Rangers (San Fran should be up a bit more also)

Put some money on the Giants if you're so confident. Goods odds for betting!

17. Actually it was pretty funny! |

The thread got locked after a couple of hours, after he had hurled racist comments all over the place.
Class act!

18. I saw it last night. He's still bucking for that moderator job, clearly. |

I was tempted to add how he and the other douchebag use MLK to defend Bonds and themselves, but figured he didn't need my help making an asshole out of himself in front of others. :rofl:
and on edit - you watch, he'll blame the lock on others, not his own words.

26. I think I have a better chance of becoming a mod than you. |
|
I think I've never cried for two days after a team I rooted for lost, like you did.
I think Boston teams have won 6 titles in less than a decade, while your city remains home to chokers and wannabes.
And I think I can start a thread in GD that doesn't use racebaiting.
:hi:

grounds for being overlooked as moderator.
What a revelation!!
And my thread wasn't racebaiting. It was truthbaiting.
(which reminds me of a new word regarding onceuponalife: Mannybaiting)

28. Just random things I was thinking. |

It has nothing to do with being a moderator. It's just fucking funny.
