So you're gonna sit on that lead or play out the season?

[Softball Bat]

It is possible for .674 to be surpassed.







The season is not over!

Of course he'll play out. In the tradition of all the great champions like myself, two years ago. And who can forget Super Steve Jobs just last year? He had a lock and did the honourable thing. In the words of Biggie himself:

Jobs is going to man up, that’s excellent news and consistent with the spirit of this deal.

It's supposed to be a rainy day in Barffalo tomorrow.

DEN @ CIN was a wild game.

Check the TD call on the play starting at 13:07.

My other 3BB win had the same dynamics. As the leader and presumptive heir to the throne, I was goaded and cursed. BSmack called me things that I can’t repeat, and Mgo’s blasts had me distracted at work and confused about my sexual identity. Poptart stroked me, but then laid out the worst-case scenario:

It is an interesting decision for Biggie to make.

If he sits it out, who could blame him?
He is being wise and is doing what is best, given the rules of the game.
Nobody bitches at a team for taking a knee to let the clock run out when they have the lead.

On the other hand, Biggie could decide that he is a man of great confidence.
He knows he is good and he knows that he will pick adequately over the next two weeks.
No problem.
No need to "run out the clock."
I'm going to kick the fucking door down!

But finally, what if he picks games, shits the bed, and BLOWS this lead, when he has it already wrapped up?

We know how T1B rolls.
Biggie would be taunted for the next year -- or decade.
lol


What
will
he
do
?

:)

Long post short, I’ll be playing it out. But you dorks better get your heads out of your asses pretty soon cuz you’re getting boat raced.
