You're not doing to well with these bets, Jag. It's basically the Roy Curse. 

You have no idea how many spacebucks I have my friend.

Is Hyde at today's game? 

Usually can find him sleeping in the dugout until the 8th inning when there needs to be a PH with the bases empty down by 4.

What's the conversion of spacebucks to Stanley nickels?

Detroit is definitely a better ball club at this point.   They could be the hot team that goes far.

not exactly front page news, but it is now the EXCEPTION when we hit well in a game.With all our talent, I dont think we have very smart or disciplined hitters, and I think we will be quickly dispatched in the playoffs...I dont know what happened, but this power offense is now so muted, it's rare when they even have a decent lead...a good team will destroy us. We just can't hit.And if its not a HR its nothing.

It's not even close just how much better the Tigers are than the Orioles. Just so many no hit innings. Routinely make them look like fools when it matters.

No hit through 3. It's the same song and dance so often.

No clinch today  and 43000+ of us here at the park get to go home early when it’s 7-0 DET in the 7th

At some point the Os will re-calibrate their hitting and realize that EV and launch angle which apparently the Tigers do not chase is a fools errand.  Only works if you are an elite talent like Gunnar.

Glad I figured out how to bet with my head and not my heart.

Listening to Palmer, you'd think the Tigers never lost a game. Madden amazing, Holton amazing, I'm sure their next pitcher will be amazing in his mind.

I really think the O's are going to be ready for the postseason. Give Westburg, Urias a chance to get in a groove again. More opportunities for Webb and Coulombe to take high leverage situations. Perhaps GRod becomes a weapon out of the bullpen. 

I wouldn't want to face them.

Our Kryptonite is league average or better pitching. We clobber bad pitching sometimes, but any league average or better pitcher looks like Cy Young’s career year vs us.

Many other contending teams find a way to eke out some runs even against elite pitching. We do not.

Hopefully Gunnar can break up the no hitter in the 9th again

 Because no team has ever won a game after having no hits through 3 innings.
