Shanahan,

My post was mostly tongue in cheek trying to compare FrankD's return to Mike McD in [i]Rounders[/i] who returned from a long poker hiatus and his buddy decides not to play in honor of his Ali-like return. I also was attempting to make a somewhat veiled choice of [b]Upset Brewing[/b] in R11 at CD while distracting the reader by continuing the [i]Rounders[/i], Ali, and boxing themes and possibly making some sports bettors think I was worried about the college fb game between the the 'Ville and Clemson tonight. I'll be tuned in to that one after my gambling day is done hoping for an exciting finish.

I'm not nearly as clever as richiebee with the pen. The problem for me as a writer and handicapper is contained in the following quote: [i]With age comes wisdom but sometimes age comes alone.[/i]

The last few years the Cubs win the games against the Cardinals that matter most and that will continue. Go CUBS Go! Also glad to hear our Florida clan survived Hurricane Irma. Best of luck today and hope all is well! I'll also be following CD and WO closest today and wanted to make sure you use Upset Brewing in your plays at CD today.
