    Why do the books continue to give free money away with Boston?

    Red Sox are just plain atrocious. They don't try, and they aren't any good. Yet every single game, oddsmakers set their line way too reasonably, and books move the number in their favor. 20 cents here, 20 cents there, night after night. This team is awful, yet they're treated like a legitimate ballclub. I don't get it. Do the oddsmakers not see what's been going on basically all season here?

    Hard to believe the $$$ flows this easily night in and night out, yet it does when it comes to fading these losers. How in the hell did they beat the Tigers in the ALCS last year?

    Just got hot at the right time. Timely 2 out hits and that Grand slam by Ortiz changed the whole series

    I'm fading Boston every chance I get! I may lay off tonight but if Sox put out the bottom four hitters in the line up with OBP's under 260, it will be hard for me to not hammer LAA.

    Lol.. Great bartender. Naw, he actually lives in Chinatown. The owner Jeff used to work at Rice Valley in Newton then bought this.

    It's ok, not the greatest , but ok.

    Hell of a commute for the bartender but there's really no Chinese restaurant around there unless you go on Rt 9.
    The Mexican place next door, Vive Crunk I call it, doesn't do too well but my spot Margaritas is right down the street.

    Maybe China Rose will fair better..I will get in one of these nights.

    Yes we were telling him to get the word out in Weston cuz there is nothing there. I remember when Margaritas used to be a Ground Round, many years ago.
