I had it up on gamecast...saw it light up after 2 outs...thought I cashed the RL...then saw it 66 later...so pathetic! Twice this week Tex pen screwed me
Had espn cast and cbs cast open at the same time. Saw the ESPN side box score blinking and thought "finally it's over, thank god" and then I see 6-6...

Well that was bollocks, 1 out away from winning while up 4 runs and they lose, thats the sort of result that takes awhile to shake off.

Sitting at home on a Friday Night watching your ridiculously square play (a play you know you shouldn't have bet) on a game tracker after you thought it would be cancelled after a 3 hour delay only to see them take a 4-0 lead thinking it was good, then a 6-2 lead in the 8th thinking it was a lock, then end up blowing it in the 9th with 2 outs 2 strikes in the 9th giving up a grand slam -
It's basically the most rewarding feeling you could possibly have.

i was praying this game would get cancelled. i won the nats over and started to get sick when this game hadn't even started yet, just knew it wouldn't end well. i kept waiting to see the status as "postponed" so i could get my rangers refund and enjoy my winning night...that was a really bad beat.

rockie and philly were all at home and aren't the worst team in the league playing against one of the best home teams.
i'm not sure who ray is, they got killed today, i think.

Baseball is 3 innings too long, all this random bullshit at the end.
Do what I did and start betting 1st 5 innings. Has saved me a lot of heartache. I don't get it...if you are handicapping the bullpens fine. But most people handicap the starting pitcher, who lasts 6 or 7 innings (at best). If that's all you're doing then play 1st 5. Then 9th inning grand slams won't affect you...your bet on Texas would have already cashed.

Anyone playing Feldman -1.5 deserved to lose... But seriously...1st 5 is the way to go. No RL though...you have to be willing to lay chalk if you like the favorite.

I switched to almost entirely betting on 1st 5 about a month ago. I was down about $2500. Since then I've had only three losing nights and am back to even. This is betting small...$30-$50.
