The point that you seem to be missing, is that nobody who likes Street Sense was enjoying the way Drugs was presenting his position, but the fact remains that no one person can lay out (in advance) how a race will be run and be any more right than he was.

I don't like Drugs all the time, but give credit where credit is due. Picking winners is picking winners, whether they are 2-5 or 80-1. Not only did he flat out say that he knew Street Sense would finish second, but he explained exactly how it was going to happen, with Street Sense relinquishing the lead late to one of two horses. One cannot be much more prophetic about how a race is going to unfold, and one cannot be more adamant that they are going to be right.

While you may not have taken a liking to the way Drugs presented this information in advance (and I didn't either, to boot, and also thought he was flat out wrong), there is little doubt that he saw this coming.

The prices of the horses doesn't matter, he laid out the race scenario and it unfolded exactly like he thought it would. What's so hard about swalling some pride and just saying "good call" instead of moaning about the exotics payouts? I'm less concerned with how much money he made in congratulating him than I am with how spot-on he was with his analysis.

ROFL. That's gangsta.

You can't make this sh.it up.

Fair enough Brian. I did apologize for calling him a blowhard. Maybe as Hoss said it was a few too many cocktails. It is how he laid it out. Kudos to him and anyone else that had a good day.

Fair enough. I would like to meet you...not to fight. Maybe have a cold one and hit a pick-3. I really hope you are not this bitter, but c'mon that was a low blow to Hoffy. You can bash me all you want, but You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer guy than hoffy. How can you not lie a guy who drinks Miller beer?

In high school I once waited seven hours at a Target to meet Christina Aguilera. We had waited since early morning and then we were finally getting around the corner where we would be able to see her for the first time at which point we would be about five minutes from meeting her.

Lo and behold, some idiot threw a shoe at her and a riot broke out because people who got there late and weren't going to meet her got mad. Nothing like a Target in Schaumburg, IL to make the national news.

fpsoxfan,
Maybe instead of dichotomizing everyone on this board into "friends" and "enemies" categories (as you seem to have done), you would enjoy this place more if you just appreciated top-notch analysis when you see it.......regardless of the source.
DrugS flat out NAILED this race. It probably wouldn't kill you to just say that (sans caveats) and move on. It wouldn't mean that you would have to always agree with him.
For example, I like Brian a lot, but that isn't going to stop me from making fun of him mercilessly for waiting seven hours outside a Target to meet Christina Aguilera. Even though I like him, that post deserves to be ridiculed. Other times a poster I might not like as much may post something very insightful, and therefore does not deserve ridicule.
In short, my advice would be............respond to the post, not the poster.

Or what? You gonna break out your e-switchblade and go to work? :D

Ha Ha! good one Pillow...

got no problem with you dude, I got a sense of humor...unlike some! :D

Gonna speak to the man about you, son! :mad:

I was 16, and I still (at 24) carry a Hanson keychain.

I'm only telling you these stories because I want you to be able to illustrate the fine point you just made, that the message is different than the person.

Your right ArlJim...my mistake!

got no problem with you either :D

I'll keep you guessing! :)

NOW, we all got money to make! Good luck to all you're wagers today! :D

Okay, that's a wrap.

Straight to the Charles Hatton room for this one.

Have good day boys!
