I can't wait for the A's to claim Jesus Montero off waivers and he becomes a good player in some wacky platoon with another failed prospect..oh let's say Lars Anderson or Matt LaPorta, why not.

Obvious choice is for the other part of the platoon to be Justin Smoak.

Not for long if he continues as expected.

Besides, Montero, Anderson and LaPorta aren't A's either. I was just trying to add to what would be a great "LOL God drat, M's" scenario.

Totally forgot Matt LaPorta existed. I read the name and remembered he was important for some reason.

He occupies a rarely used space in my baseball memory alongside players like Brandon Wood and Micah Hoffpauir.

Betting money on the Cubs at any time for any reason is a fool's bet.

Yes, there's hope. But there's been hope before. Yes, there's talent. But there's been talent before. Above all, they're the Cubs.

$13,000 crisp dollars, I only have $15,000 to my name is basically if I lose I give up everything and hike around America. This is the turning point in my life.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
I hope you're joking because I've known people like this in real life that have bet enormous sums on incredibly stupid things. The only difference being that they did it on actual information and not just a joke from a movie that featured hoverboards and self-lacing shoes.

Next time you're itching to lose $13,000 just give it to me. When you get unretarded I'll give you back $12,000 of it.
