So here's your invitation from the Commish: Early next week, let's see a Zola Thoughts piece on the NFBC boards. Deal? What's the expression, be careful what you ask for?

I think I feel the creative juices flowing.

Either that, or I have gas.

In general, the odds are poor. Takeout way too high. Red Sox -110, Yanks ev, plus three more teams? Ridiculous.

You'll lose money on Philly..

0 starting pitching That may be true. (Although I like Hamels and Myers and Lidge could rebound.)

I kinda like Arizona. Great top 3, and a blossoming team.

Unless you are dropping 10 grand...they are a long wait to make not very much profit.

Just to keep on the gambling theme...

Here are the odds on tonight awards.

I'd bet Daniel Day Lewis, and Javier Bardem based on commercials alone!

But the odds suck.

Just threw 160 on Daniel, and 130 on Javier.

Both bets win a whole $10...but my gut said f-it...they're gonna win, and 20 bucks is 20 bucks!

Still, you've gotta like your chances on this one. $290 to win $20 is a WHOLE lot of juice, but this is about as big a freebie as you'll find.

Sweeeet!

Made watching a tad more fun!

I had a bit of fear vs. Phillip Seymore Hoffman (Great underrated actor)...but pulled out the 2 wins!

Now...to check if Nascar finished.
