Throwing it around

By TheNaturalMevs on April 30, 2009

Thursday travel days are the pits. MLB lacks a full slate of games tonight and our team happens to be off till tomorrow night, so we go a near 48 hours without meaningful baseball. So that means we log into our Bodog account, throw down a couple bets, and make some games meaningful. Pete Rose style. Here’s some links for y’all:
