It's a league game, Smokey. There are rules.

This determines who enters the next round-robin

The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.

You mark that frame an 8, and you are entering a world of pain.

You might fool the ****s at the league office

But you don’t fool Jesus.

hmm

Wonder if this falls under the “three strikes” policy?

Hope this dude gets himself together

he’s the sole reason I no longer hate NY and now hate Boston. Seemingly not a good guy, but oh well.

I don't know if we can really cast moral judgments

after he tried strangling an employer and ran up a $150,000 gambling tab, from which he decided while on the lam that it would be a good time to get one more trip to the lanes in. These are the types of situations that just about anybody could find themselves in.

That aside, I really do want to root for him to get back to some sort of normalcy in his life. It’s hard to watch players you used to cheer for fall so hard, so fast.

Exactly

I generally try to divorce the player from the person because I suspect most celbs/athletes are probably would not be my friends in real life, but sometimes it does get me down when a guy I pulled for turns out to have…issues. But I guess he’s got nobody but himself to blame.
