I typically don't like wagering on baseball on Mondays and Thursdays, when there are fewer games from which to choose. Today, however, there is a full slate of games, and yet I don't see any that thrill me enough to place a bet… real or hypothetical.
For he who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day;
But he who is in battle slain
Can never rise and fight again.
May live to fight another day;
But he who is in battle slain
Can never rise and fight again.
I'll take a day and allow my season record to stand at 6-3, +$249.
For those of you who just can't imagine going a day without having some action…
