Bliss - Orsi^2 2017 Baseball Board Bets

Bliss: You wouldn’t believe how many people have asked where the Bliss Orsi Board Bets have gone.


Matt: None. Zero people. That’s how many have asked about the Bliss Orsi Board Bets.


Chippy: I believe that. I haven’t been involved. You two haven’t done this for a few years. No one said anything.


Bliss: Hey!


Matt: We didn’t even do a results column the last time. How do people know what happened?


Chippy: THAT I’m sure they don’t care about.


Matt: They do already know we don’t get things right.


Bliss: I probably won’t even post this for a like a week after we complete the picks. Doctoral program and all.


Chippy: Oh good, time for you to cheat and change predictions after you see a few games.


Bliss: That’s a lot of effort. I’m leaving my Seattle pick for division and manager of the year. I don’t care they are 2-8 right now. I believe in Robinson.


Matt: So let’s review this at the end of the season and then not post the results or reference it for a few years?


Chippy: Seems about right, I like that plan.
