As some of you know, i have an annual baseball bet with Jerry. As a reminder, here’s how it works. we each draft two winning and two losing teams in each league. Every time our winners win and losers lose we get a point, At the end of the season the loser has to buy a very expensive meal for the winner. I’ve won about 17 or 18 or 19 or the 23 seasons we’ve had the bet. Right now Jerry owes me 2 meals. WE are going to Santa Fe for the “payoff” dinner. We didn’t go a trip last year (I guess we were busy with a wedding). The last trip we went on was to New Orleans right before all the problems.
This year hasn’t started off very well for me. The history of the bet also says that the person with the bad start usually has a bad finish. Travis has put together this nice tracking webpage for us. I suggest you make it your homepage so first thing everyday you can know what the score is.
There are some GREAT restaurants in Santa Fe!
I am happy to see that this year’s bet finally got amention on Brad’s blog. The draft took place two weeks ago (almost). When Brad says he is off to a slow start, you need to put that into perspective. At the wedding last year Mark Richards (and many others) reminded me that I was behind by 25 points. Although I got a little closer later in the season I ended up losing by about 25 points +/-. (Brad will no doubt post the actual score soon). After the first week of the baseball season, and despite the fact that the followed Mark’s advice and picked the Yankees to win, he is currently behind by 18! I am not counting my chickens, but It sure feels good to be ahead.
