I believe it to be straight sarcasm. Go back and read post #3, one thing that stands out from that post is when he mentions how skyla got on a little slump and bashers came in right away. I feel he is a long tome lurker that has had enough and has decided to come in and make fun of the current state of the baseball forum, thus 'IF YOU LOVE $$$$' posting. Read between the lines, the guy is respectful and plays small dogs and totals. If he was backing huge favorites and saying he's on a different level I would think different. Oh, how many times has he mentioned wagering what you can afford to lose?
