2009 Sportsman of the Year........

If Sports Illustrated really wanted to make a statement and show a little intestinal fortitude they would throw their year end award my way. What better way for the premier sports magazine in the world to acknowledge the impact of gaming (in this case for the better). After going 2-0 again last night (thanks for the help Jelly Donut Jenn), Propick is well over 75% on MLB plays. We have not even hit football season yet, baseball is merely a hobby...an appetizer if you will. The best way to equate this gaming excellence is to compare it to famous accomplishments in sports: Dimaggio's 56 game hit streak, Rikpen's most consecutive games played, Aaron's home run record (note not Bonds), etc.
For today's play I am sticking with that drug known as the Chicago Cubs. The thing to remember about teams like the Cubs is, they are incredibly streaky in both directions. Lay the 160 on the Cubs to beat Jeff Suppan and the Milwaukee Brewers.
