    I read Deuce has a small play on Boston, but is a Tigers fan.

    His jinx in this thread has me really confused.

    Why put money on Boston if you want Detroit to win?

    Deuce, explain yourself.

    Because the small amount I lose means less to me than the Tigers season ending tonight.

    I guess that's fair enough.

    You win something for your troubles if Detroit loses.

    I've just never been that way. I'm all in one way or the other.

    Kimbrel is the nastiest closer we have seen in 30 years other than Mariano.
    Has the most solid chance of anyone to get 500 saves in a career.

    Chapman isn't dominant, and he would rather be a starter. I don't see him as any kind of competition.

    Obv the closer for Redsox isn't even close to the best. Just had a good cpl months.
    I don't like him as a closer, and I'm sure he won't be one in a few years.
    I don't even like his stuff.
    Not to mention the guy's like 40 years old.
    Wouldn't be surprised if he gets slapped around his 2nd year of closing next year.

    There will NEVER be another Mariano Rivera.

    Guy was an animal (I'm a huge Yankees fan, btw).

    Uehara and Kimbrel will be the two best closers in baseball for a while.

    Mariano is pretty sick bruh.

    June 10th 2006 i saw him pitch like a monster at Busch stadium vs Cardinals.

    I had the pleasure of sitting 5 rows back right behind home plate.

    Pretty awesome to see him pitch in person.
