Hudson looked damn good for 8 2/3. When they put Yates in at the end I almost had a heart attack. I mean, I know the pen was stretched thin at that point but for some reason, i would have more confident if they would have just let a position player pitch underhand. Yates kills me, as a Braves fan. Just kills me. But 7-5 and we have a winner. I'm not sure how I'll be able to forgive Detroit for killing not only a RL bet, but also a 6 team parlay (at +1810) that hit 5/6... How do you blow a 7 run lead against the damn White Sox? I'm now opening a bottle of 1997 Heitz cab to think of what could have been... congrats IMG on your plays today. It seems like you were away for a bit, but it's always nice to hear from you old sages. i feel like I just snorted coke with Lohan right now. That Braves game was intense... Bases Juiced, down 2 with 1 out. Sometimes I take my love of gambling and researching for granted. Then a day comes through where a superior team blows a 6 run lead in the 6th-8th innings and costs me a 6 team parlay and a RL wager, but yet at the end of the day, the Braves score 3 in extra innings after blowing a 4 run lead in the 9th, and go on to cover my RL play... What a hobby...
