Bills will kill the Dolphins when they play them in Buffalo. You can bet the house on it! Miami isn't a elite team at all. They might make the Playoffs in the AFC, though they aren't SuperBowl contenders. The comeback win last week and the win against the Bills might give them some momentum but they could have easily lost both of those games and be 1-2 instead of 3-0. Bills were missing a lot of players yes, but they can't make errors and mistakes like they have, even like in the first game against the Rams. In the Playoffs, those mistakes become more magnified. Need to clean some things up still.

One of the ugliest football games I've ever watched. 11-10 final lmao. Both teams yes have an amazing defense, though geez both teams were sloppy offensively. I don't see the 49ers or Broncos being a threat at all. Wilson won't do anything with the Broncos.

Left-handed OF bat with some pop. I would definitely roll the dice on him if he's not expensive. -

All Vladdy and Bichette need to do in the last season before free agency is put together career years and they'll get a huge payday at their ages. -

Maybe for 2023, though with how many games left in the regular season, not enough time to see if he figures things out in order to trust him in critical spots in a Postseason game. Also, like Grant77 said, he wouldn't be eligible for the playoff roster anyways. If Chapman is available this offseason, he would be a great low risk/high reward signing. -

Feds announced that October 1st, all remaining COVID-19 border restrictions - mandatory vaccines, testing and quarantine for international travelers - will end. So this won't be an issue if the Jays have home games during the Postseason. Players will be able to cross the border freely now. -
Since it was a pretty darn close matchup, lets just play a third week haha.
-
Wow interesting. Wonder how the Rays use him.
-
Isn't Glasnow coming back as well? Most likely used out of the bullpen I imagine, but still he could be a dangerous weapon. A lot of the Rays success depends on McClanahan staying healthy and being at 100%. Springs and Rasmussen likely will be used only once or twice through a lineup anyways. It's not like they both were being pushed hard this season in terms of innings. Springs IMO has got stronger as the year went on. Kluber has also been very solid this season and has Postseason experience.
-
Just hit a rough stretch. They aren't this bad and they maybe weren't as good as advertised before. They're still a solid team.
-
Jags messed up my parlay. Had a two team Bengals and Chargers parlay. Buffalo messed up a lot of my bets for today but oh well.
-
Congrats BTS! Very tight matchup all around!
-
How does Buffalo lose that game? Geez awful!
-
Can't believe he never won a Cy Young Award. That's crazy! 7 no-hitters as well, though zero perfect games haha.
-
Had to callup Vinnie Pasquantino last night and start him at 1B with Freeman out again. Reached the weekly max for transactions. Wong out of the lineup today, and Fraley already benched today because Ashby is pitching for the Brewers, so likely will have an empty spot in the lineup but oh well. Yeah need a big day offensively and RBI could be within reach even if I tie the category.
-
Yeah a lot now will come down to our pitchers today, but you have the upper hand with Scherzer and Cortes if you need him for the Sunday Night game. I closed the gap on K's but you have the advantage (+6) still the final day. Wins, ERA and OBP are in play but if you get a solid start from Scherzer like you said, it's likely enough. Wish Bautista didn't implode last night for 4ER in 1.1 innings, ugh that hurt. As for offensive categories, looks like you pulled ahead for good in RBI (+7) and Runs (+11).

GDT: 2/4 Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays (7:07 et)
jaysblue replied to Omar's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The cost of living there is a big draw to many people, especially young families or couples or anyone in general. The winters are long in Alberta which is one of the negative deterrents, as well their economy heavily relies on oil. Also, many people from Toronto think Alberta is far out of the way in the middle of nowhere. A lot of people think that way who live in their Toronto bubble. Though cities like Calgary and Edmonton are really growing and have a lot to offer for those who want to experience big city life still. Also, you're only an hour from the mountains Money goes further in Alberta when it comes to buying a property. For 700K, you can buy a very nice house around Calgary. Here 700K gets you a small two bedroom condo that needs renos if lucky. -

What is wrong with Alberta? It's a beautiful province. Every province has crazy extreme right or left wing people, doesn't matter if you're in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec or anywhere else. Majority of Canadians however are pretty much in the centre and slightly lean left or right of centre. That's why you'll never have an NDP or PPC party winning at the Federal level. Voting for a Conservative here in Canada doesn't mean you're a right wing extremist. Maybe the media and Liberals paint it out that way, but that's not the case at all. -
Yeah forgot about Soto. I definitely give him a mulligan this season. He's at 124 HR but yeah needs to crank out a couple of 40-50 HR seasons which he has the potential to do. If he does, he'll be close.
-
If he plays another season, he'll definitely surpass the Babe. Aaron and Bonds would be tough and likely would require playing another 2 or 3 more seasons at this current high level which I see difficult. I think he's in a perfect situation in St. Louis though. They benefit bringing him back as a bench bat/occasional DH/veteran presence who starts maybe 2 or 3 times per week. Pujols benefits since he's with a great organization and would have a nice easy gig at his age in terms of staying fresh and healthy.
-
Yeah likely has to be a new prospect who comes along, gets called up at an early age around 20-21 and rakes from Day One. Maybe Julio Rodríguez especially if he has a couple big 40 HR seasons or maybe Vladdy if he returns to his 2021 form moving forward.
-
Out of players who are close, Trout probably has the only realistic shot, though even still he needs to double his career HR total to reach 700. If he stays healthy and plays for another 11-12 more seasons averaging between 30-35 HR per season, he has a chance. Otherwise, the only other bets maybe would be Arenado, Harper and Machado given their age, though even still 700 seems like a very far reach for all three of them. Stanton is at 375 though I don't have any confidence in him returning to an elite HR bat and staying healthy. Though you never know, if Stanton plays until he's 41 or 42 and keeps cranking out 30+ HR's despite other poor offensive numbers for another decade, he might come close. I think some of the younger bats like Julio Rodríguez or even Vladdy have more of a realistic chance if they stay healthy and crank out 30-40 HR's per season.

Cardinals win World Series. +1400 odds, doesn't hurt to bet them!
-
Hope he continues to play after this season. Go for the all-time record haha.

He's a serviceable No. 5 starter and nothing more on a team with World Series aspirations. Has posted a 1.2 WAR thus far this season. His K/9 rate in the second half has dipped though. He's definitely a better option than Kikuchi.
