Great Match rjt was like Apollo against Rocky, u just kept coming and fighting every time I would get a lead. Win the whole thing now bud!

PackAttack98 (1 month ago)

That was quite an epic battle. Congrats rjt721 on advancing. Jrod, that is some amazing capping skill you have sir. Be good. GL rjt721.

Microphone (1 month ago)

Good stuff guys. kept an eye on your battle. That was something.

rjt721 (1 month ago)

Thanks Jrod. Was a hell of a match for sure. Down to the last game of the last night. Like you said earlier, it's a shame one of us had to lose. Thanks Pack. And good luck Microphone in your match.

Microphone (1 month ago)

Likewise to you rjt721. As much luck as skill for us the deeper you go in my opinion.

rjt721 (1 month ago)

Twins. Interesting. Figured you would go Nats with your first pick and tried to block it. Tough for me to root for Yanks as a BoSox fan. Good luck.

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

yeah figured u would go Nats and if the Twins hit I would a slight lead going into the final pick. Figured it was my best way to "control my own destiny" Good Luck to you also

billyloco (1 month ago)

GOOOOD LUCK to both rjt & Jrod .. altho I favor Jrod since he beat the guy who beat me _ B>)

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thanks Bill

CTsharp (1 month ago)

I submitted my pick 3 different times but somehow the line changed that many times within the span of 15 seconds, then when it finally said it was accepted and that I had 7 picks remaining I log back on afterwords to find out it wasnt submitted? What gives?

Teamprofit101 (1 month ago)

wow Gruntworker what happened?.......

Gruntworker (1 month ago)

Started 0-5 with a huge money line fav in bases that went down. I never learn... Need a HUGE comeback like you did last week!

Teamprofit101 (1 month ago)

I went 5-0 on my last five plays, I was being very picky. Baseball has been a bit crazy, so i tried to stay away from huge favs. Start being more picky....Good luck i hope you come back!!!

Microphone (1 month ago)

6 points in OT, wow. Something will happen at Coors (in addition to a 7 run inning). Yikes.

rjt721 (1 month ago)

Phew. Was sure you were on the Dodgers when I saw you had a play for 4:00. Only played them to shadow you. Almost backfired and put me in a -13 unit hole.

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

yeah Ethier with a huge homer there when it looked like Grilli would escape danger in the 8th. Yankees with a comeback to trim your lead to +5 to 0 through 2. This will be fun

rjt721 (1 month ago)

Great match. Back and forth.

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

yep it continues back and forth. you got 3 more picks than me so you will control where this thing goes

Teamprofit101 (1 month ago)

Good Luck Gruntworker!!!I'll be rooting for you

Gruntworker (1 month ago)

Thanks Teamprofit! What a great match we had! Had a blast man! GL w/your real bets!

billyloco (1 month ago)

GOOOOD LUCK Jrod!!!!

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thanks Billy, 2nd person into the elite 8 Good Game Mp was a war

PackAttack98 (1 month ago)

Congrats Jrod! I enjoy looking at the leaderboard and seeing your unreal stats bro. Mp did make a heck of a match out of it, so props to mp as well. Roll on!!

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thanks Pack, most of the reason my stats are so good unit wise is because my opponents have been on point. My last 4 matches have been epics with my opponent taking a lead at one point in the match. Remember if the Rangers dont beat the Reds I don't advance against you, thats how close our match was.

CTsharp (1 month ago)

best of luck jrod, you have been killing it.

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thank CT Sharp, best of luck in your elite 8 matchup as well. Not sure who to root for there. Microphone is a class act as well

odusmykal (1 month ago)

Best of luck tonight Microphone..

Microphone (1 month ago)

You too odusmykal. Anything in plus units will win the way we're going. We'll have a Masters type of Monday night!

PackAttack98 (1 month ago)

Jrod, you are the man. keep doing your thing, and roll to victory brother!! GL

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thanks Pack, LA Angels to clinch it otherwise I will need help

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

Something wrong with Miami it seems, was graded as a push when will more than likely be a loss. Not sure if it is like that for people who took STL

mp5070 (1 month ago)

Updated to a loss...it takes a while to update

Teamprofit101 (1 month ago)

I'm surprised i made it this far, just happy to be here good luck everyone!!!

mp5070 (1 month ago)

Same to you

Teamprofit101 (1 month ago)

Thanks

SBR Lou (1 month ago)

Best of luck in the Sweet 16 guys!

mp5070 (1 month ago)

Thank-you, Lou

Gruntworker (1 month ago)

Thanks Lou, been a fun contest so far!

Microphone (1 month ago)

Thanks Lou. You made MLB preseason interesting!

TheMetsSuck (1 month ago)

nice capping Jrod.....good luck the rest of the way

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

thanks Mets, mid week we had a war going. I just caught fire

HedgeHog (1 month ago)

CMoney advances if he puts 1 unit on Edmonton and 1 unit each on his remaining picks--preferably ML dogs. Basket-case is history.

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

shame will miss his running commentary in the comment section

CTsharp (1 month ago)

Im sure that will still happen somehow.

Microphone (1 month ago)

It wouldn't be the same.......

Nick Papageorgio (1 month ago)

Safe to say cmoney put baskets on fkn body bag?

CTsharp (1 month ago)

First night there hasn't been a peep from him. Not even going to ake the final play? ..deflated..?

CTsharp (1 month ago)

Make

Nick Papageorgio (1 month ago)

lol at laying 6.90 to win 3 in this contest baskets.

baskets (1 month ago)

wish I had your luck, cmoney. fukking you win in a shootout yest and by a half-point.... I cna't hit a -350 and a -230 .... ridiculous

baskets (1 month ago)

this is toast. can't believe I gave it away w/ the Blues yesterday.... that was the deal breaker

baskets (1 month ago)

pretty sure I'll win if Blackhawks can win.... would be nuts to lose a -275, -350 and a -230....

baskets (1 month ago)

lol at my strategy... I really didn't think that through... and just rolled w/ it... ha ha

baskets (1 month ago)

YEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWW.... Cmoney pulls 2 wins right out of dunghole!!! Huge gonads!! Dis be a game again!!!

balla05 (1 month ago)

i just seen ya pick....taking st louis with so much juice -350....if u lose that pick ur done.

baskets (1 month ago)

u need 2 look again

balla05 (1 month ago)

Ahh, I see...u only bet to win one unit. but still a ton of juice...i bet you not feeling good at the moment when they are down 2-1.

baskets (1 month ago)

well, my tabulation gave a +1 unit win would mean cmoney would need 5 in a row ... he will have 3 in a row after the OSU game. think OSU will hold.. could be basically all comes down to the Blues game

bachngocduong (1 month ago)

TheMetsSuck much pick Columbus +290

Jrod124 (1 month ago)

Thank you Pack and Billy, GG Mets u were a great opponent
