Not the single most captivating performance by a Red Sox team this year.

Ugly by the 3rd. Still ugly in the 9th.

Tomorrow is another day!

Why on earth would I trust you?

And given who the Mets have starting tomorrow? No, thanks.

And... I don't only watch them when they are winning.

I see Mets battering Porcello

But you are right.  Looks like an 8-7 type game - could go either way

You're blaming Kapler for the Phillies' implosion?

Sox -260

Mets +210

I passed.

Took a stab at the NO bet on "will a team score in the first?"

Got Cubs -1.5 runs vs Reds, Lester on the bump.

Jeeze kid, in a game you handicapped as a toss-up -110 game, if you can get +210 seems to me you gotta grab it.

You bet PITCHERS and consider hot/cold offenses and home/away.

Mets are hot - but lose the other 2.  Better spots for my cash.

I do figure Oswalt to be able to navigate the first inning.  Thus a small bet there at even money.

I understand baseball betting.

and risk management.

If you handicapped the game as Mets -110, which is what you unknowingly did, and can get Mets +210, you should make the bet.

3 more walks for Bryce Harper.

Now has 116 BB to go with his 124 hits.

Was there an implosion?
