Just look at my signature. And for all those who chose Boston, you are dead to me.
I am really hoping Tavares, Matthews and the rest of the boys can finish the series at home.
P.S. from 3-6 PM tomorrow, Toronto will be closed.

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #475
CROSSOVER DAILY DOUBLE

For this early Saturday contest, we looked at two events, one a game in the English Premier League, and the other a match in the Indian Premier League. All we had to do was guess correctly in both to win. The favorites are in bold and red.

PREMIER LEAGUE
West Ham/DRAW vs. Leicester City


In an equally matched game, West Ham and Leicester City were tied 1-1 until late in the game when Perez scored at 82’ to help West Ham lead but a late equalizer by Harvey Barnes in the final minutes forced a 2-2 Draw.

IPL
Delhi Capitals vs. Kings XI Punjab


Chris Gayle was at his lethal best for Kings XI Punjab against the Delhi Capitals. Gayle got to his fifty in just 25 balls, helping KXIP set a target of 164. DC lost some early wickets but was able to win by 5 wickets, with just 2 balls to spare.

Because it’s where the Boston Tea Party took place in 1773. Too bad all that tea was wasted when it was dumped into the Boston Harbor. When that happened, the British government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution.

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge exited the Yankees' 9-2 victory over the Royals on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium in the bottom of the sixth inning with a left oblique injury and headed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital for further evaluation and an MRI soon thereafter.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the game that he expected Judge to require a trip to the injured list.

"Look, it's Aaron Judge," Boone said. "He's one of the great players in the game, such a key figure to our club. Not only just between the lines, obviously, but what he means to us in the room. And he'll be part of continuing to lead us forward, as a group."

After hitting a single, Judge winced on his way out of the batter's box and was in discomfort as he ran to first base, where he was met by the trainer and removed from the game for pinch-runner Tyler Wade.

Judge has had two injured list stints in his career. His 2016 season ended with a right oblique injury, and he missed more than a month in 2018 with a chip fracture in his right wrist.

Judge is hitting .288 this season with five home runs. He homered off Royals starter Heath Fillmyer to open the scoring in the first inning.

The Yankees have dealt with a number of injuries this season, as well as the recovery from players who were hurt at the end of last year. Current Yankees on the injured list include Dellin Betances, Jordan Montgomery, Ben Heller, Luis Severino, Miguel Andujar, Greg Bird, Didi Gregorius, Jacoby Ellsbury, Aaron Hicks, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez.

Boone announced before the game that Sanchez is on track to return for the Yankees on their upcoming road trip. Brett Gardner echoed the sentiment in the Yankees' clubhouse, noting the importance of Judge's presence.

"What he brings on a daily basis, not just offensively with his bat and his ability to get on base at such a high level, but his defense and energy and enthusiasm, makes everyone around him better. He'll still be around and still find ways to do that, but obviously we might be without him for a bit."

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #477

NBA OVER/UNDER

The first round of the NBA playoffs continue this week, and two of there series could come to an end this Monday. Most of the time, these first round games aren't very compelling. And Monday's games are no exception
So why not another OVER/UNDER"

For those that don't remember, OVER/UNDER is a classic betting term. It's a bet that has nothing to do with who will win the game. Instead, you are betting on whether the TOTAL number of points (or goals, or runs, or whatever) scored by BOTH TEAMS will be OVER or UNDER a certain target number. So when you hear somebody say, "the over/under for this basketball game is 218.5, that means the target number is 218.5
Anybody betting the OVER is betting that a total of 219 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the UNDER is betting that a total of 218 or less points will be scored by both teams in the game

For this edition of OVER/UNDER, we will be asking you to make two predictions
You will have to pick the OVER/UNDER for BOTH of the selected Monday NBA basketball games
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict BOTH

INFORMATION
GAME ONE
Milwaukee Bucks at Detroit Pistons
Milwaukee is up three games to none in this series, and are favored by 11.5 points in this total mismatch.
The only thing worth watching for IS the OVER/UNDER
OVER/UNDER 218.5

GAME TWO
Houston Rockets at Utah Jazz
Houston is also up 3 games to none in this series, and one more win will end it. This should be a much closer game as Houston is only favored by 1.5 point over Utah. But we don't care who wins, we just care about the final score
OVER/UNDER 212.5

In other words... GOOD LUCK

What is it?
You are being asked to make two predictions:
Whether the total points scored by both teams in the first game will be OVER or UNDER 218.5
Whether the total points scored by both teams in the second game will be OVER or UNDER 212.5

How do you play?
To enter this contest, you will need to post the following:
NBA OVER/UNDER
Pick either OVER or UNDER for BOTH games

EXAMPLE POST

NBA OVER/UNDER

UNDER

Rules:
You have to predict BOTH correctly to win
Only 1 post per person for this specific contest, any more and we will ignore the later posts and count your first post as your official entry.
Plus, we will probably send you a PM or post about how naughty you were

ALL PICKS MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO THE FOLLOWING TIMES:
MONDAY 7 PM Chicago (UTC -5)
MONDAY MIDNIGHT GMT (UTC +0)
Any picks made after this deadline will simply be ignored.
Any edits after this deadline, and your post will be disallowed.

Reward:
If you guess both correctly, you will share the 500 WRZ$ pool

So, while we don't care who actually wins the game, it IS important to predict the OVER/UNDER

There is still about 3 and a half hours to make your pick AND post your reason why for today's contest...
