Grady! Still just a precaution? Please God.

How does the retroactive DL work? I get it in general, but are there any specific rules or situations that make it unavailable? Seems like if he isn’t feeling 100% better in a couple days they might put him on.

i think a player can be DL’d retroactive to the last game he played in, as long as it is not more than 7 days in the past

I bet that our game yesterday would total over 9 runs on that centsports site. Now I’m steering clear of any and all bets on the tribe.
basketball bets are just easier and less painful to watch.

100% agreed.
I have a rule that I’ve never lost on: Nuggets, Lakers, Suns, Warriors (to a lesser extent the Sonics and Grizzlies). If any combination of those teams are playing, I take the over, no matter what it’s set at.

I could, and lately I’ve been thinking about writing my senior thesis on it (well, the broader subject)..we’ll see what happens

I think there are some things that we can exploit on that site. They seem to update lines manually so there is some downtime between injuries, player lineups, etc. I’m going to start comparing their lines to other Vegas sites to see what I can find.

The MGM mirage seems to give out less favorable odds on + moneylines, but on the – moneylines, at least today, there is a large difference.
On the Lakers/Nuggets moneylines:
-110 for MGM
-190 for CentSports
So picking the Lakers on a moneyline would be a bad bet.
I’m sure there’s more that we can get into, but I’ve noticed some significant differences from other sites over the past few days.

how sad is it that not even a grady injury can get blake in the OF and marte at third?
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

In an odd way, I take it as a sign that they want to keep Marte.
If they’re going to keep Michaels or trade him, they’d better get him some AB when they can.
But in Marte’s case, they’re keeping him either way, so it doesn’t matter. He’ll get the AB when it’s necessary and apparently not a minute sooner.

Jay, I’ve been jostling with a theory. Casey Blake’s pattern (to me, anyway) seems to be peak early and decline pretty steadily as the season goes on. Could the Indians just be trying to squeeze a few more RC out of Casey during the time of year when he’s traditionally at his best?

In the top of the 10th Adam Jones made the third out at third base on an infield single by the batter. Then, in the bottom, Quentin tried to steal home for the win but was caught. Nothing too crazy, just action.

Was it a straight steal of home, or was he picked off third? I want to know if Carlos Quentin is a moron, or Ozzie Guillen.
Nevermind, just saw the highlight … failed suicide squeeze. Ozzie’s the idiot.

Trying to keep tabs on the O’s/White Sox (in the 11th now). Is anyone watching? It looks like Carlos Quentin got the 2d out of the bottom of the 1oth inning trying to steal home.

If you have the option of watching on ESPN you must do it.

There was a children’s book called Mumble Bear, that basically was about a bear who allowed himself to be taken advantage of all the time, slowly building up frustration and rage. Yada, yada, yada, Hafner needs to quit being taken advantage of.

Miller has 4Ks in in 4 innings for Buffalo.
NBR (No Borowski Run): Refers to that run which puts the Indians up by 4 over an opponent, thereby drastically reducing the chances of Joe Borowski pitching in a game.
