I think Baedeker should be put down
I've thought about this a lot recently, and discussed it with myself as well. My belief is that it should've been done after the $10,000 pick six he hit. The extent of his victory and subsequent loses were massive. Every analyst, other than Schrupp or Bray, would have been put down. Add to it the negative coverage that comes from such a high profile hit and the work to save losing picks makes sense. I think the analysts try for losing picks, but that doesn't excuse what happened here. If Mr. B could speak coherently, and it's possible with the right kind of diet and supplements, he would apologize for that winning ticket. In fact he had another winning ticket a few weeks ago....I don't see this having a happy ending. I think the mistake was made during the summer of 2005 and it's being compounded. Again, the analyst lover in me thinks he should be put down. There is nothing noble about keeping him around to give winning pick 4 and pick 6 tickets.
