    Emotional win...check

    I've never formally tracked this, but I've noticed over the years that whenever tragic events happen involving sports, the team affected generally comes through for a win/cover. I have always referred to this as the "emotional win...check" plays, and when you say the word "check" you have to make a check mark in the air with your finger. I'm gonna start tracking these in this thread, assuming that I remember that I made this thread the next time disaster strikes.

    Tonight we have Marlins +110 after the tragic death of Marlins ace Jose Fernandez. The real tragedy here is when I was going to put it in it was +120 and switched to +110 before it was accepted. However, nothing gets in the way of an "emotional win...check," so +110 it is.

    I wouldn't want to be Conley. Shitty spot regardless how he does.

    I would have agreed but Bartolo Colon has no emotions. He pitches like a robot. Good luck!

    Right but it said "delayed" on the scoreboard and if they decided for whatever reason to have it open I don't know how long to get it closed.

    Anyway they're playing now

    Might be more of Colon throwing the ball over the middle of the plate, maybe the Mets will just let them hit this game, went small on them might hit larger in play.

    Dee Gordon hit a homerun leading off.

    His first homerun of the season.

    He was crying as he was rounding the bases, and going back into the dugout.

    Gut wrenching to watch.

    Everything right over the plate, in this instance especially the emotion and how much pub this got, you just go ahead and give this one to them I bet more after 1st inning high juice but oh well.

    if Colon threw like that every game he'd never been in the big leagues this long, anybody can hit those pitches.

    It's like when the Saints played that Monday night game, 10 years ago today, returning after Katrina.

    Hmmm. Could I have just foreshadowed tonight's Monday night game?

    THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

    GEORGE BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE.

    Emotional - check.

    Giant my buddy just texted me and was like "damn I missed your emotional Marlins game but how about saints tonight for the emotional win?" It's close but to me that's not a true "emotional win...check" game. The original Monday game right after Katrina was "emotional win...check" however if I was taking a side in the game tonight, I'd definitely put a check in the Saints column for the ten year anniversary of Katrina on Monday night game.

    I will gladly accept a 40 spot from the saints as tribute to Katrina as I have over 53.5

    Tex, I don't think there's any doubt that you are the "emotional win...check" King when it comes to SBR. Nobody during their tenure here has been able to turn heartache into money making opportunities like you. We thank you for being able to turn off your emotions, in robotlike fashion, and focus on the business angle.

    Ok here we go. Time for the second "Emotional win...check" game. It's been awhile, but tragedy does not strike everyday.

    At this point you know the drill.

    I don't love this because you're laying a couple handfuls of points but we have to do it. Isaiah Thomas's sister died the other day and he's playing tonight. Therefore the "emotional win...check" play IS.......

    Boston Celtics -7 against the Chicago Bulls. Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Playoffs.

    Good luck
