what makes it more strange is that

Len said something to the effect of “what a great combination, the voice of Wayne Messmer and the lowry organ.”

Let me get this straight

Len and Bob claimed Howry pitched last night. And pitched perfect.

I simply refuse to believe it. MLB.tv must be acting up again.

haven't been...

Have just had better luck, personally, at Harrah’s than elsewhere, but I suppose it is all kind of subjective. We started going there because they had $1 drafts. The “free” drinks weren’t coming quite fast enough for us at the other hotels. Also, I’m not quite classy enough yet for the $15-$25 minimums at most of the table on strip over the weekend. Harrah’s has $2-5 craps and blackjack.

I liked handing out at TI as well, but that’s just because I have a thing for pirates.

The mall/shops at Caeser are worth checking out as well. Bellagio has a nice sportsbook.

It is August though, so be prepared to be HOT

Not much. Harden doesn't have his control just yet...
