Ok, back to baseball. Sign Bauer? No chance. The only way I sign off on a big free agent signing, especially a pitcher, is if we are ALMOST right there. Like if he s the last piece we need. Otherwise, signing big ticket free agents is a terrible idea and has more to do with hoping your fan base sticks around for some smoke and mirrors. Be in it for the long haul. The real fans are. We are back to the ban on political talk. Don t waste your time it will be deleted immediately brandished with the familiar this post is political in nature and has been removed by BIG FLAVOR . And I put that shit in all caps so that you, your family and your closest friends don t miss the fact that you have been publicly shamed at the most important place on the internet .2020 has been so terrible in every way I was stunned to wake up to some good news today. Good news? What is that? But Pfizer says they have developed a vaccine that s 90% effective, that is an incredible number that I don t think anyone thought possible. More research needs to be done but with the virus raging through communities today it something to really feel hopeful about.NFL today, but no Niners. And I was too consumed with the races to put together any draftkings teams. So ..what the hell am I going to do today?Some pretty big balloons coming in yesterday, aye? 74-1? 30-1? I expect the same to unfold today. Welcome to the new horse racing blog!There is nothing like the Breeders Cup. There s no competition, other than the Olympics, where this many of the sports greatest athletes from across the world get together to compete. And it all goes down across two days. I ve been to probably 5 Breeders Cups. Every trip was the trip of a lifetime.I m not putting my plays in the main thread but will update in the comment section as the day unfolds. Keenland often fucks with their track on big days and that can lead to a troubling speed bias. Let s see how the first few races shake out.Apologies to my Niner brethren but I had to make some free money on that game last night. GB -6.5 was a gift. Totally bummed I m missing the BC today but tomorrow has got my eyeballs popping out of my head in anticipation. Niner game tonight even tho half the team is stricken with Covid. I still don t understand why they can t move this game to Monday night and take the weekend to shake out who has it/who doesn t. Other than that, I am extremely excited about Saturday and extremely saddened that I can t play Friday. Larry Kreuger was on twitter last week begging the Niners to trade Pettis for John Ross. I laughed out loud at that one. Who would TRADE anything for Dante Pettis? Sure, Ross is a bust but not at the same level as Pettis. Kreug s is one of those classic Bay Area talking heads who overvalues Bay Area guys just because he knows their name and their draft slot.Well, the Breeders Cup is nearly upon us. Now that the Niners season is over and our country has proven to be filled with a bunch of in-bred dumbfuck racist mean losers, the BC is my main focus for the next week.I don t want to hear about votes that still need to be counted or who is ultimately going to claim the presidency. This shouldn t have been this close. Our country has shown it s true colors and they are gross and disgusting. I hate most of America today. Let s take the ban off political talk today. I might regret that but it s easy to fix if it gets out of hand. Nobody cares about your personal political take. NOBODY. I am interested in hearing about your take on how this race ended up being this close. I get why Hilary lost in 2016. Everyone hated her and Trump sold the country a bag of goods on what he could do for them. But after watching this shit show for 4 years how can anyone who isn t racist or stupid vote for this lunatic? Seriously, I don t get this at all I considered removing the ban for today on political discussions but it s just not worth it. Go to Facebook or other places on the internet to talk that mess. Or here s a thought: nobody cares what your political take is. Keep it to yourself or, if you must, go old school and just discuss it with someone in person. The internet has ruined the way we talk about things with our fellow humans. The battle lines were drawn a long time ago. If you haven t already voted, do it.I can t believe I missed the 10 year anni of our first world championship. All I can do is apologize and have you watch this video. So many incredible moments. Baseball has changed, probably forever. But we had this run and we ll never forget it Pretty lazy little Saturday, actually. Might fire up a late pick 4 at Del Mar. Will be fiddling around with my NFL teams at draftkings in preparation for Sunday s action. Let s see what good ol Bozo is up to .Hope you guys have a safer Sunday than that Clown who seems to have cornered himself into quite the pickle. I m still reeling from the great Pa Salon s out of the blue post from yesterday. I will see him next week in Reno as we play the Breeders Cup together and am hoping to greet him with a memorized poetic rendition of his genius. What to look forward to now? Well, the Breeders Cup, obviously. After that? I m quietly confident that the NFL will be able to steer through the travails of the widening winter Caronavirus problem. So there will hopefully be some entertainment there.I have absolutely no idea when the NBA is planning on re-starting. Their schedule might as well be the NHL schedule. No clue when or what season it s beginning.I don t know a lot about ratings. Do they still have the Nielson ratings? I wonder if that s an outdated way of gathering data. With the explosion of different ways people now watch sporting events I would question the accuracy of ratings we see now. Honestly, I can t remember the last time I watched a sporting event on my tv. It s been months. Everything is watched on a device now. I really don t have a problem with LA celebrating that little guy. It has been 32 years, any fish they reel in and land on the boat should count. So in my book they did finally win another World Series. It s easy to revile Cash for his bonehead move. And if I owned the team I would probably be firing him today. But Cash didn t really lose that game for them. That fucking team man, besides Arozy, can t hit FOR SHIT lol. I watched in almost hypnotic amazement as their parade of hitters struck out over and over and over. And not just last night, they did it all post season. The Dodgers have a chance to win a legitimate World Series next year, just as we do. I, for one, am thankful for this season. I can t believe MLB pulled it off under these conditions. Imagine waking up this morning if you re a Dodger fan. I know it s not a legitimate season, but when you haven t won a World Series in 32 years it must feel like one. I talked to a buddy in LA yesterday and he said it s been so long this will feel like the first one .There are a lot of comments in that thread, you have to hit *older comments* twice to get to the beginning. If you have the time to read through it today, do it, there is some gold in there before the game even starts.Well, look on the bright side: last night could have been the close out game. But it wasn t and the Rays live to see another day. The problem is, will today be the final day they live to see?Ok, had some stuff going on yesterday but am back on the beam. I missed the game and it sounds like I missed a great one. A great ending, at least. Saw the final play on twitter. If the Rays can somehow mange to pull this off, oh what the epic collapse it will be for LA. This is why we love seeing them in the post season. If we can t have SF we might as well get to sit back and watch a legendary implosion. Big Game Mort vs Tighty Whitey. This is an enormous game for both teams and feels like more than just the $2.50 I assigned to the first two games.27 Years ago today Joe Carter smacked the biggest home run in baseball history to give the Blue Jays back to back titles. Who remembers when Joe Carter was a Giant? We traded a dude named Darrin Blood for him. Great name that got away from us. Diggity and I have a crisp ten dollar bill bet on this series. So I m looking at each win for me as $2.50 in the bank, each loss as a sad $2.50 out. And there will be no venmo/zelle nonsense. The loser sends the winner a $10 bill in the mail along with an apology for failing so miserably and a promise to do better on the next bet. The Rays are a good enough hitting team with better overall pitching than the Dodgers. I ve been hearing for 3 years here at Flap Central that good pitching beats good hitting and will overcome the bombfest that baseball has become.Glasnow wasn t better. Too many pitches just weren t competitive. I think we re just conditioned to think a guy that throws 100 nearly every pitch is dominant. He was not last night.The Rays swing and miss and at a lot of balls. I know that s not news but it was surprising at how many it really was.The Red Sox got 2 minor leaguers and Verdugo for Betts. Why again didn t they just pay that man his money?It was so great to see those stolen B s. Even if it was the Dodgers stealin them. The stolen base is one of the best most exciting plays in baseball and it was fun to watch it return, even if it s just for one game.Here we go, right out the shoot with Glasnow vs Kershunkle. I am picking Tamp Bay for many reasons. Dodger hitters haven t faced a staff like this all year. Thank you to Jeff Toobin for ruining zoom calls forever. Now every time I see a dark screen I m going to be worried. Is he pulling a Toobin? What the fuck man? We are trying to live in a society here. I d like to think a little decorum can be expected from the people we work with. I love his excuse, too. I thought my camera was off. HOW DOES THAT IT BETTER MOTHERFUCKER!?!?!?!? LMAOWell, The Braves are just freaking worthless, are they not? I m looking forward to watching the LA bats wilt against Tampa pitching. Series breaks down like this: Rays have been pitching, Dodger have better hitting, tie breaker goes to the Rays due to the Kershaw affect fucking LA when they need him the most .Not gonna lie, I am sad to see the Astros eliminated. Mostly for Dusty. I was thinking *just maybe* he finally gets his ring. And I think we can put to bed any issues with legitimacy regarding the title this year. These guys are ALL IN and working their asses off. Whoever wins it this year will have earned it. (ps, unless LA wins then it s a sham title)
