MLB Betting 2020
Today I like: Rays -147 vs Blue Jays. Although Rays are 17-9 and I swear I've bet on them on all 9 of those losses. Brewers -132 @ Pirates. Pit sucks. Mil should bounce back after a series loss to the Twins. Which brings me to: Twins -143 @ Royals. Been riding the Twins and although they are better at home, I like them today. A's +105 vs Angels. Angels suck. Fiers hasn't done great this year, but Heaney only marginally better. Can't figure why the A's are home dogs. Finally, this one vexes me, seems so obvious. CHW @ CHC O/U is at 9.5. Why is that number so high? Yeah Wrigley has traditionally been a hitters park, and the wind is blowing out right now, and DH rule is in effect, but with Keuchel and Lester going, just seems like a sucker bet.

$300 an oz seems...high. Probably closer to half of that.

Joe Biden Veepstakes 2020
It was pretty obvious she was going to be the pick. I dunno man, if I was the R's, I would've thought about this a few weeks ago and come up with 2-3 solid talking points to release immediately upon announcement. There were at most 2-3 others for whom they needed to prepare.

Joe Biden Veepstakes 2020
As many have said already, kind of a no brainer. I really hope it took this long to announce her because the dems were doing extremely deep vetting and preparing for any negativity that might come out.

I've been watching and waiting for an entry point and kinda wondering why there's no discussion here. Sure seems to fit the very definition of a stonk.

Yeah I'm somewhat ashamed that I've lived this long, frequented sites like surly and it's predecessors and never seen these names before. All I got is Mike Hunt.

Mail In Voting
I am concerned that the volume of votes by mail will overwhelm the system, especially in those jurisdictions where it hasn't been used much. Look at what's happened to unemployment payment processing in many if not most states. They weren't used to having that volume of claims and it overwhelmed them. I haven't heard anything about states' plans to address this.

Donald Trump 2020
Not sure whether it's funny or sad that it's so obvious he doesn't review what he's about to read, no matter what it is. He reads prepared statements like Larry Bud Melman used to read cue cards. Or like first graders who have to read aloud in class. You can easily tell where the line breaks are on anything he's reading.

Nice call on the Reds yesterday. They are good value again today, at +141 but still a tough play. I like Minny in the early game, -191 but they are good and Pitt is...not. Also look for LAD to bounce back -129 at SD.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
You could get a VPN for a few bucks a month and connect to a server outside of the Houston market. But that would be cheating.

I think I'll follow you on both of those. Also like Rays -182 at Orioles, kinda expensive. Might try to parlay that with something else. Liking over 9 A's/Mariners. Sea bullpen sucks. Also liking LAD -120 at Arizona.

MLB Betting 2020
Yeah I'm with you on the Cubs. Although my line is -101 right now. Going with the Dbags +110. Only playing that one to get some early action, don't feel that strongly about it. Nats -172 as a visitor in their own park with Scherzer going. Indians +107 just cuz the White Sox suck. Thinking about continuing to ride the Rays +106 at ATL. Depending how all that goes, might go Padres -178, but that seems expensive. And LAA/SEA over 9. Rendon active and SEA bullpen looking rough.

Didn't wanna leave you in here all by your lonesome Starting last season, for the most part, I've been paying less attention to the pitching matchups, except in obvious cases. With openers, 6 man rotations, starters 3-6 only going 4 innings by design, seems like starters are less important. Generally, just sticking with good teams with good odds, regardless of who's starting. Today, I got CLE just for grins to have early action. I like the Rays -135, they are the better team and even though some of the Braves have come back from COVID, that's still gotta affect them. Cubs +103, good odds on the better team. Padres -139, road favorites but I still believe the Giants are abysmal despite splitting with the Dodgers. And I gotta say, something really fishy about that Astros line. Even taking into account the starters, two top teams, the road team should not be a favorite.

Sorry, I must've misunderstood the meaning of "stonk."

Stopped out of NOVN at .88. Looking to get back around .78. IBIO jumped up to 5.14 and is down just below 5 now. I stopped out of IBIO at 5.23 last week. Might have to get back around 5.00. I'm finally in the green on ALPP, got in at .062. Must...resist....urge...to...get...out...

NOVN is the only one of my stonks on the plus side right now. I sold out of IBIO last week so that worked out OK. But I have ALPP, FRSX, and ALT. What are you guys setting your stop at?

That's not really Ted Nugent's fault. What did you think he was going to do?

Former OU Head Coach John Blake has died
I bet Blake knew his starting QB's first name.

As best as I can tell, none of the players in the Yankees/Nats game kneeled during the anthem. Dodgers/Giants, at least a couple Giants, I think Kapler and Sandoval, and at least one Dodger, Betts, kneeled. Betts two teammates, Muncy and Bellinger came over and each put a hand on his shoulder about midway through.

Donald Trump 2020
So when Trump says the last five questions are very hard, one of them is basically, what day is it, and where are we? Last time I saw someone fail this, they had been hit in the head by Mike Tyson. Another one is, name all the words you can think of that begin with "f" and you have to come up with 11 in less than a minute. No way he gets this right, even if you spot him the two obvious ones he'd get.

The only version of the MOCA test I've seen is one page long. The one where you have to id the elephant. This is just a sample, right? The actual test is several pages of this?

He's excited about a $30m credit facility, when NOVN has lost more than $35m per year, except 4 years ago when they lost almost $60m. I'm IN! #stonks

Or are we on the 'dump' side of pump and dump? That's usually when I buy in.
