Futures

Just got back from Vegas where I was able to plop down $20 on the Rays to win the World Series. Yeah, they are long shots to win it all but the Stratosphere Sports Book was giving 150:1 odds, so I had to take it. Most Casinos had odds anywhere from 75 to 100:1 and The Rio actually had 60:1.

Best Alstott Story

I seen him pulling a jeep with a vest and chain(great way to build leg strength in football, using a vest with hooks and chains) in Joliet back when he was attending Purdue.

Wanna know how to win this one?

Hit the ball in the air to left field, or tap it up the firstbase line.

No one will catch it/

Mike Alstott wears a Rick Alberts jersey to the game these days.

Better than watching...

Hinske attempting to leap in the air or flailing around...

Remember DYoung last year in Boston?

With a leap like that, he would have caught the ball... shoulda woulda coulda though...

So do the radio guys apparently.

I just turned the radio on about 5 minutes ago and hes all they've talked about.

And I agree, I love him too!

If you want results, press the red button. The rest are useless.

I think I saw a Yankee and Red Sox fan fighting during the crowd shot after the homerun. Typical non-al east trop game.

This just proves that Ryan relays all my text messages to you. Anyway, that's impossible, Kalas was passing around a petition to increase the size of the Big Buc Brew while wearing a cow suit

Well, I think

Riggans pretty much cemented himself as the catcher on this team....

Let's hope Navi continues to hit, or else we're going to be pondering a platoon of Jaso and Riggo in the future.

by Jacob Larsen on Apr 8, 2008 7:48 PM EDT   0 recs

No

Navi will be the starter when he is healthy

healthy...

I'd test Navi's mitochondria, seeing as he's another guy who has a ton of fluke injuries.

by Jacob Larsen on Apr 8, 2008 7:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

your right

Riggans is never hurt

RJ and I agree
