Addison Russell's Barry Larkin-esque 2040 HOF Primer Thread

DPD...it may have been Hawthorne, because both tracks were across the street from one another and alternated the schedule.

One was flats, one was harness, right?

My mate Nobby is, like me, a Southampton FC fan and once went to see the Saints play at home against Manchester United, at the time a vastly superior side.  Nobby took an absolute flyer and had a fiver on Saints' defender Kenny "Super Kenny Monkou" Monkou to score first (40/1) and Saints to beat United 3-0 (25/1).  Imagine his surprise when Kenny Monkou did indeed score first for Saints, who then went on not only to go three goals up, but to hold that lead up until the very last minute, when Ryan Giggs toe-poked home a goal for United that nobody in the entire country (including Ryan Giggs) gave the tiniest of flying fucks about... except my mate Nobby, who literally burst into tears as a full five large went down the crapper.

Poor Nobby.

I'm sure both had thoroughbreds (assuming that's what you mean by flats) because I'm sure I'd been to both and we never went to that chariot racing bullshit, but now you've got me wondering.  I think one may have had both but they both had thoroughbreds?

Poor Nobby.

This is normally how gambling stories go by the way.

And why I don't hardly ever gamble anymore.

I think we're missing the meatballery of Huey crying over a silly error while ignoring that Russell has been, literally, twice as good a defender at SS this year as anyone else.

I think we all should go to the track more often.

Literally twice as good, eh?  Sounds legit.

And i wasn't crying over Russell...I was just laughing at Fork for talking him up hours before he didn't exactly have his best game.

Calm down, short round.  Your mischaracterizations and hyperbole are a bit much right now.

Every Sunday in Albany, California, (right next to Berkeley) we have dollar day at Golden Gate Field.  Parking is a dollar; entrance fee is a dollar; program is a dollar; hot dog is a dollar; beer is a dollar.  But a two dollar bet is two dollars.

Say some shitty things about Lackey, please, and how much he sucks.  That shouldn't be hard.  We need to keep this streak going.

So, we all get out to the East Bay and the Desipio day at the races is on?

John Lackey is the Huey of the Cubs' rotation.
