Today is the worst day of the baseball season. We get that teaser game yesterday, only to be followed by a day off and no baseball. So I’ll bore you with the bets I made this off season. Feel free to mock and ridicule.<\/p>\n

2009 MLB Regular Season Wins – Team Must Play 160 Games<\/p>\n
Atlanta Braves<\/p>\n
Over 84.5<\/p>\n

I think the Braves are more talented than people think. Barring injury.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 2009 MLB Regular Season Wins – Team Must Play 160 Games<\/p>\n New York Mets<\/p>\n Over 89.5<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This should be an easy one. The Mets are obviously seriously talented.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 2009 MLB Regular Season Wins – Team Must Play 160 Games<\/p>\n New York Yankees<\/p>\n Under 95.5<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I think the Yankees have a lot of issues, especially if Pettitte is old and wears down, Joba is restricted, Wang is not quite back to form and A.J. Is the new Pavano. Especially if A-Rod isn’t fully recovered.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 2009 MLB Regular Season Wins – Team Must Play 160 Games<\/p>\n Philadelphia Phillies<\/p>\n Under 88.5<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Phillies got lucky with their bullpen and had a dozen guys over perform last year. They’re a pretty soft team in general and I think they mail it in early this year.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Cole Hamels – Total Regular Season Wins<\/p>\n Regular Season Wins<\/p>\n Under 15.5 (-135)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hamels has already started injured. 16 is a lot of wins, especially for a team that won’t top 85 wins.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Jose Reyes – Total Regular Season Hits<\/p>\n Regular Season Hits<\/p>\n Over 188.5 (-115)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This might be the easiest bet. Reyes is only getting better.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 2009 World Series Championship<\/p>\n New York Mets<\/p>\n 6 \u2013 1<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Because I had to.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ceetar discusses his 2009 wagers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[575,19],"tags":[2984,2968,659,490,661,286,660,658],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":303,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions\/303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ceetar.com\/optimisticmetsfan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
