    It sounds like most assholes that took the Blue Jays lost anyways because they took the RL. I took ML on TB and feel like someone kicked me in the balls.

    That Tampa bullpen kicked you in the balls.

    I've gotten into some serious debates about this question. I believe that there are typically right and wrong sides to the games....but the correct side is the side that wins. Clearly getting a +230 dog up by 5 in the 9th is the right side...unfortunately it wasn't the right side.

    The only consolation is that you handicapped it right AC while those who laid the chalk did not but got lucky....

    I believe the right side is the side that was handicapped correctly regardless of whether the team won or lost...

    Of course Tampa was the correct play. Only a damned fool would argue that point. For that matter, KC +250 was the right play tonight, and they didn't even score a run.

    Right on the button; I had thought it was Ganch HG chiming in with a reply.

    My reply is coming, don't worry. I keep telling everyone who will listen that I'm a damned fool, and no one believes me, but after I write my opinions on this game, you will start to see a bit the reality of it.

    I 100% agree on both accounts...

    Toronto was the right side. The score was weird but you had an ace versus a rookie in the ace's home town. The details worked out differently than anyone expected but if you go back in your mind to before game time smart money was on Toronto.

    Having said that, seeing the Jays come back LIVE in the bottom of the ninth -- actually being there -- was the biggest and best win of my life. I can't begin to tell you the feeling. I was an emotional wreck and relieved at the same time. The Jays won, as expected, but certainly did so in a most interesting way. Thank you, Toronto. Helluva ride.

    I would disagree that KC was the right side on Tuesday's game. I am not saying that Cleveland was the right side, i don't believe that there was a proper side to that game. My reasoning may be flawed but i believe that taking at shot at KC tonite at +210 with Byrd pitching is a much better play than +250 against Sabathia. I like taking big dog shots as much as the next guy, but i do believe that the pitching matchup has to be right to do it!
