Speaking of brutal games, CJ, I just got home from the Os game. Did I really need to watch that for four hours?

I don't even know the score. I think there is a rule that all Yanks/O's games last four hours. If only the season were that long.

At least he didn't mention Street Sense or Discreet Cat, so we've got that to be thankful for this fine morning.

That's pretty hardcore. So if you care about the horses you bet on your not real?

Guess I'm not a real bettor either, although there would be others to tell you differently.

Seems like we're all *drinking* now. I'm copying *Suzanne*.
Nah, that's not what he meant by that at all. I just don't take the gambling aspect of it as serious as most do on here. I enjoy putting a few bucks on the horses when I feel strongly about one, but that's about it. Shoot, it's embarrassing, but the only times of the year I spend more than $100 on a race day is during the Triple Crown and Breeders Cup.

The Yanks were up 8-4 with two outs in the 9th and two Os on....and the Yanks brought in Mariano. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the worst pitcher in the league, Os relievers not included, be over 99% to hold that lead?

I hope BBB is on the staff. His post a few pages back was classic. He is just glad he can take money at the windows from all those that don't care about horses. What a true ambassador of the game.

cmorioles 09-18-2007 12:14 AM
Hell, I'd be 93%. The Notre Dame QB would get the out 9 out of 10 times.

Great post, and so true. This could have so easily been a story about FunnyCide instead of Super Frolic. You're correct, it's not a good story for the sport. I'm not familiar with Super Frolic's breeding, but it is a shame that *so* (:)) many breeders overlooked his soundness/hardiness that he wasn't even allowed to stand *one* season.?? Give me a break! I'm sad for the future of the sport.

Probably just leading yet another horseplayer astray.

No idea.

You can only find the racing stuff in the hardcopy. Which is great when I have a duck - like tonight. But sucks when I'm doing awesome.

cmorioles 09-18-2007 12:24 AM
They hate the new Tapeta surface up there and refuse to cover the meeting.

I found him rather amusing most of the time, other times your right he WAS a very bad man.
I think you should start a devil thread in his honor.
If the predator is revived, I'll send you a good one for the avatar.
I probably shouldn't have suggested he be in the angel thread, please refrain from being bad on our drinking party games.

Oh and Suzanne, he came out of retirement because he was small and did not generate alot of interest.

wait, your uncle is your dad??


Oh man Morty would have a field day with this.

The Indomitable DrugS 09-18-2007 12:39 AM
Mortimer is trolling under that moniker.

It's a strong statement of his genius - he can play the most vicious of predators - and the most tardliest of tards.

Preston Wilson's uncle (Mookie) later became his stepdad.

Did anyone ever figure out how old Morty was? I think he might have been in his early 70's.

By seeing the amount of chatter on the forums, he had a lot of fans that are going to miss him.
Like the others said, if you don't like the thread don't read it.
I'm as much of a hardcore handicapper as anybody; I had no idea that horse broke down. And yes, I don't care how much monopoly money they run for, it is an outpost in Bubblef-k, PA.

Maybe if he had been running on REAL dirt it wouldn't have happened.

Actually, the Notre Dame WR from last year, Jeff Samorjoey (sp?) will likely be pitching in the majors in two years.
