  Penguincw: Ah, just remembered that today is the Belmont Stakes.

Again, I'm "betting" $2 on Preakness Stakes winner, Exaggerator, finishing in the top 3 (Show).

Jays win, and Dodgers+Kershaw won yesterday. Just 3 back of the Giants in the division, 0.5 back of the Cardinals for the 2nd Wild Card.

---

This just came to me today, but I'd like to make the following predictions:

- Mariners make playoffs (likely win division, but will make it to the ALDS for sure)

- Cubs will face Giants in the playoffs (likely NLCS, where higher seed Cubs will lose to the Giants 4-2)

- Red Sox win the World Series in 2021 or 2023

(I can explain if you need to)

Let's see how many I get right.

  Penguincw: Well, Exaggerator did not finish on the podium, so -$4.20.

Even worse, after the Dodgers rallied twice vs. the Giants, they got the lead in the 10th, and lost. D:

Meanwhile in Arizona...

  WannaBe: It's (virtually) all over, Guppies need two goals with a minute left after that empty net goal by Pittsburgh.

  WannaBe: Pittsburgh have won 4 Stanley Cups in their storied history, and the clinching games were all won on the road.
Jun-12-16  Jim Bartle: And the Pirates and Steelers titles all on the road going back to 1960 and the Mazeroski game.

I was trying to listen to the hockey game and watch the Peru-Brazil Copa America game, which ended about two minutes apart.

  Penguincw: Alright, good job Penguins for winning the Cup. Also snaps the West's 4 year winning streak.

True. 49ers fans had to drive thirty miles south to Stanford Stadium to watch them win the 1985 Super Bowl.
