Or minor league games where at least the beer is cheaper(or its easier to sneak your own in). :beerbang:

Watching baseball on TV is pretty tough to do IMO. I love the Pirates will all my heart, and I'd consider myself a "die hard" fan, but good lord, who the hell can watch that much baseball on TV?:bang:

ESPN should be renamed to RYPLN(RedSoxYankeesPatriotsLakersNetwork). Because God knows they ain't care about nobody else :puke:

couldnt agree more about your last comment concerning espn. its headed and has been headed in an awful direction for a few years.

Concerning the nhl, if it is so exciting and great atmosphere why do none of the major networks carry the games? Now dont get on my case because one of the major networks could carry the stanley cup finals but i really dont know. Maybe its the league doing an awful job of marketing, but i dont think that is the case. and i find hockey fans few and far between these days. Maybe its my location geographically, but out of all of the people I know in my life from wherever, not many meaning less than 20 even talk about hockey. just my opinion though.

After the lockout, VS made the best offer. But I think this network is sort of big:





But then again, I don't know much.

If by that you mean Saturday and every weekend, then I agree.

Awesome discussion about possible upsets guys...:boog:

[Ming the Merciless]

I might take Nugs 1st game, but Lakers all the way after that. Lean towards over just cuz nugs don't play D, and Lakers haven't played d lately in their last few games, except in 4th qtr.

[homedawg]

I'm thinkin' philly...

will lose in 5? Me too...

gotta happen in 6

[Underdog88]

i will wait. hey, i could be crazier and take atlanta lol

:beer2:

Atlanta was +3500 to win the series before game 1, maybe even higher at some point. Who knows what it was before game 3, but congrats to anyone who was willing to play on that- would be a great hedging opportunity game 7. Game 7 Boston ML is -2000. So if you played the Hawks to win +3500, you could just put up -2000 to win 1 unit LOL, & get the Hawks +1500 for a free play. Damn you vegas....
