| Re: Pete Rose finally comes clean
I am BAFFLED that you guys support Pete Rose. Honestly............ Where is the logical Tom Dogg when I need his support. If Tom Dogg is behind this then maybe its me that's wrong......
Have you guys EVER heard the expression. "The baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint"?
Simply put....... Its the 7th inning Reds-Pirates are tied 3-3. Pete has no faith in his bullpen. Pete leaves the starter in too long because he has 10,000 bucks on the game. Starter pulls a groin muscle. Pete leaves him in. Pete really needs this game. Starter blows out groin. Out 3 months.
Example 2.
Reds are down 6-2 in the 8th inning of a first game of a double header. Pete has 20 grand on the game. Pete uses all his starters and doesnt give them a break. Players almost come back but lose 6-5 in the 9th.
2nd game of double header. Pete needs his money back and puts 40 grand on the late game. Pete plays all his best players again even though they just played 3 hours.
Overall the team suffers terribly over a 162 game season.
The thought that it would be ok for him to bet on his own team or any other team is absolutely absurd to me as a sports fan.
Freaking bet on horses, or at casinos. Not on the one game that employs you.
Any GOOD manager realizes that |
