The Dom Freeroll

June 18th, 2009

Last night I went to dinner with a handful of nosebleed NL young-ins. They are all great guys. The line up was, TJorTJ, MagicNinja, ThatPFunk, jsnipes, CTS, DeathDonkey and myself. We went to Nobu at HardRock Casino and racked up a $1500 bill.

It’s custom in our crazy poker lives to “flip” for the bill. What we do is gamble for the one person who is going to pay. However, you can buy out by just paying in your share. I run epically bad at flips. I am always in the final draw and I have lost 2 out of the last 3. (granted small checks, but still)

So I told the boys I’m buying out. And went to pay my share when CTS says, “If you toss your card in, and I lose, I will pay the tab AND buy two bottles of Dom Perignon for the table.” I snapped called him on it and tossed my card in.

So we pick out a card, one at a time, those cards are “safe”. As we are getting down to the last cards, my card is live, and I can feel it coming again…

Then there were two cards left. Mine and CTS.

All I have to say is thanks Cole, the Dom was great!

Dear Rio, your poker room sucks. PS I Love You

June 6th, 2009

Your dealers are awful.
No shuffle machines.
Cage is a huge fail.
Floor is clueless.
Chairs are uncomfortable.

But all this keeps the good players at the Bellagio, for that, I Love You!

Okajima the funny man? Who knew?

May 12th, 2009

So Michelle sent me some pics of a TV show that Okajima was on. It’s a popular comedy show, similar to the way the Dave Chappelle show was. I guess Okajima called up the comedians on the show and told them, “hey I forgot my camera when I left for spring training, can you get it for me?” and they did! I’ll try to get more deatails but my wife says Oki is a real funny guy.

Who knew?

Sox pulled it out in the end after Papelbon made everyone sweat.

Gracelyn goes to her 2nd game and gets a ball:

Gracelyns first baseball!

Gracelyn's first baseball!

I also decided that I like the new Red Sox logo:

For those of you who didn’t know the Sox have new away uniforms, which are 1980s throwbacks and I’m starting to dig those too:

They are here!
