Play Ball!

The day before yesterday, Sunday, April 5, was not only Easter, it was Opening Day for Major League Baseball, with the St. Louis Cardinals blanking the Chicago Cubs 3-0.

The rest of MLB, including the Atlanta Braves, began the 2015 season yesterday, with the Braves edging the Miami Marlins 2-1.

The Braves aren’t expected to have a ball-busting season, and in fact, when I was in Las Vegas about a month ago, the odds at the Luxor Sports Book for them winning the World Series were 75 to 1. That’s pretty bad.

(Damn! I just realized I forgot to place a bet. Now just you watch. They’re going to win the World Series and because I usually make a $50 bet, I’ll miss out on $3,750. Damn.)

Well … so what? Maybe my betting on them to win the series in the past is what caused them to lose.

Anyway, PLAY BALL!
