    Good afternoon $KARMA$,

    Are you in the high rise on Riverside Drive, past the road side park, about 10-15 miles from the tunnel? Been a while since we've been there as the last time we were visiting we got hassled by customs and haven't been back since (and most likely won't). Wife had her pocket picked in a club and didn't realize it until we were being talked AT by a Hitler wanna be/clone. We were detained for over 6 hours until "proof" was brought down to the clowns - I was free to go but there was no way in hell I was going to leave her there alone.

    Best part was didn't see anybody on Woodward getting hassled the whole week. Heard some stories about a couple guys getting a beat down off the Avenue but wasn't able to get an solid confirmations on them. People just wanted to enjoy the day and forget about all the bullshit in their lives for a while and have fun. And many did as there were more than a few places that had that magic smell drifting through the air while others had capped & strawed beverages who kept getting sillier as the day rolled on. Watching the people was nearly as entertaining.
    TA,

    I am about 20 min away from tunnel, just outside of town.

    The customs thing is really a spin of the wheel kind of thing. I've heard of both positive and negative experiences from people on both sides. You just never know who you're going to run into working that day or what agenda they have there that day. (Someone I know used to work there and there's always something they target everyday or work on, just like any workplace I guess) Your experience sounds awful, but I would try not to let it discourage you from coming over, it can't happen twice can it?

    And actually it's part of the reason why my parties didn't want to go. It's no fun unless you go without them bugging you. I've crossed countless of times, only once have they gave me issues, but it was for 15 minutes only.

    I wish I had gone, I figured it was going to be a good time and bring back feelings of the very good times the city had in the past, with all the BS going on the last few years.

        My early play. If this win, I'll add more. Otherwise, I'm done for the day.

              I can picture that without much trouble.

              We don't go to Widsor any more. Since then we made a couple trips to our state's thumb crossing there and go twice a year to SOO (CAN) to visit some friends from years gone by.

              Found out later that night on the news a couple who looked similar to us went Bonny and Clyde and were last seen in the area. Never again. Had receipts, matchbook covers (I collected them for our scrap books) and all kinds of proof we were there (at the club). Eventually we got a half hearted smart assed "We're sorry for the inconvenience." from the Captain.

              Very true. At least there wasn't any issues for the firework display.

                Your comment/remark was over the line about my spouse. You get no trim from her. The last fool who tried such wound up with a broken leg and arm. She don't play like that nor do I. Not cool Rixsaw - probably your worst post I've ever read from you.

                      Interesting, the one day I decide to post my card in here I see I am on the opposite side of TA in most games. Didn't do this on purpose, I just REALLY Like this card today.

                      Angels 1 units
                      Brewers 1 units
                      Rangers 2 units
                      Cardinals 2 units
                      Cubs/Padres UNDER 1st 5 innings 2 units
                      Brewers/Pirates UNDER 1st 5 innings 2 units

                      I also have Atlanta but that game already started.

                          Thank you Foghorn. Probably missed my earlier play where I took the under for 7 units, so I am down around 1.5 units with that game ha. Im testing something out though with those early plays, but went big on them.

                            curious,

                            Although we had an issue, over done with & we move forward, I have ZERO issues with us being on opposite sides for a card. If I don't cash from them, I know you will & for that I'm glad. the rest of the season.

                              Hey TA, good luck tonight. Saw you went down to the Dream Cruise. Great Weekend. Where did you spend you time when you were there?

                              Minn @ Texas:

                              Minnesota:
                              Minnesota struggling lately (me too), losing 4 of their last 6 (all at home). Liriano is pitching better, but has 2 losses and 1 ND in his last 3 away. Although the Twinkies are playing better on the road since the All-Star break, they are still 11 games under .500 for the season. BP edge goes to Minn

                              Texas:
                              7-3 in their last 10. Tommy Hunter has a 2.75 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in his last 3. He has given up 0, 2, 4, 1, 1 runs in his last 5 games.
                              Texas is 39-22 at home.

                              Going with the better pitcher and better team playing at home.

                              PICK: Texas (1 Unit)
                              Record: 38-25-2 (+22 units)

                              OK boys, let's make some money. Also like, St. Louis and don't like the juice with NYY & CWS, may play in a parlay.

                                Someone had better get a hold of Rixsaw and have his sorry ass apologize for his comment/remark about my wife. I 100% g'tee it that until he does, there won't be another MLB selection given from me to others here. My loving spouse is fuming after reading after those remarks. Do the right thing Rixsaw and you better make certain she feels your sorrow. Mistakes happen but yours went to far.

                                  I think we must have misunderstood each other. Of course it started with me, and I apologize. But let me clear it up. I thought this means a pick in WNBA. So when I said your wife will give us , I was saying she will give us a pick in WNBA. Yes, I have been loosing my MLB gain plus some experimenting in WNBA. I hope that cleared things up a bit.

                                  I don't post much, yet I have over 1000 posts. None of which do I talk about anyone, nor talk down anyone's pick. Once of the reason I like your thread the most is that no one talk and everyone is down to business.

                                  I apologize to your wife if she has misunderstood me.

                                  Now lets make some money shall we?

                                    Sorry, I missed that one.........still a good call on the game. That just means you got your loss out of the way for the night and you have winners the rest of the way.

                                      Thank you Foghorn. We were at/by/near Burger King/Lover's Lane or Duggans depending on what side of the Avenue we were on. the remainder of the season. As of "now", this is my last post less record update at night's end until the love of my life is satisfied with Rixsaws words. Right now, my ANGER LEVEL is in stage 4 (of five) and that's not a good thing - so I'm signing off for now & hope there's something that will make things right when I log back on. continued success to you and "basement boy" the remainder of the season.

I 100% g'tee it that until he does, there won't be another MLB selection given from me to others here. My loving spouse is fuming after reading after those remarks. Do the right thing Rixsaw and you better make certain she feels your sorrow. Mistakes happen but yours went to far.
                                        Ok, I didn't see this post until I scroll down to the bottom. Again, I sincerely apologize to both you and your wife for the misunderstanding.

                                        With that said, whether you gonna post your play or not, it's your prerogative. Have I benefits from you posting? Yes I have, and I thank you for the hard work. However, I wouldn't miss it if you don't post. It's not cool to use it as a threat. You can be a gentlemen and demand an apology. I'll always apologize when I'm wrong. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong.

I thought this means a pick in WNBA. So when I said your wife will give us , I was saying she will give us a pick in WNBA. Yes, I have been loosing my MLB gain plus some experimenting in WNBA. I hope that cleared things up a bit.

                                                I don't post much, yet I have over 1000 posts. None of which do I talk about anyone, nor talk down anyone's pick. Once of the reason I like your thread the most is that no one talk and everyone is down to business.

                                                I apologize to your wife if she has misunderstood me.

                                                Now lets make some money shall we?

                                                is the symbol for WNBA games. obviously it was taken another way. which is why your post seemed so out of character for you - had it been one of the slimeballs in another thread, it would have been laughed at. didn't see your first post/response earlier - matter of fact what i was seeing were to damned many of them white flashy dots in front of my eyes. not even going to touch that second one tonight. thank you. let's win some moolah.

                                                  Good evening mllndollarman,

                                                  It's called standing up for your principals/taking the high road/doing the right thing. Nobody will say about my family especially in a thread I start. Thanks for adding to the thread and have a nice night.

                                                      Cardinals 2 units Win

                                                      I also have Atlanta but that game already started. Win
                                                      5-2 +6 units, not too bad

Testing something out, but risking big on them. I would have done well yesterday, but missed the A's and put in Yankees and passed on the Cards. Just testing it out though.
