Quick reset of our posting format:

Rather than using a grading system of "Units", "Dimes" "Pesos" or other denominations, we're going to simply create a Mythical Bank which we will either add to or subtract from following each day's results.

The Mythical Bank is small in size to be in harmony with the majority of sports investors who though they may not say it out loud, are often smaller dollar players.

If your own "unit" is larger than those expressed within this thread, all you need to do is multiply for easy comparisons in the event you elect to play along with any of our posted investments.

Selections posted within this thread have a variety of components behind them which include, but are not limited to in-house capping, good advice from trusted friends, shameless coattailing of other forum friends (we try our best to note such tails) and the occasional fade of less respected sources (we make no note of such slumpers and of course wish them a speedy recovery)

Best of luck to us all for a profitable and successful MLB season in the weeks and months ahead.

my man...pots n pans... that would be impossible...loved that band..every now and then ifc plays this 22 minute footage of them making that first record..it's so great and sad at the same time knowing that 40% of the band is dead....

howdy C&LS.....Hey at my age (49) a lot of my favorite performers have passed on.

So it helps me to cherish the ones still with us and also be thankful for the miracle of YouTube and other media which gives us access to so much great stuff

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

being a musician in his mid 30's ...i've been in the position to meet and actually jam with some of my idols and have been repeatedly told to never let a day go by w/o acknowledging how lucky i've been...and i don't...just always get sad seein that video knowin there's no more roy and george
