WSOP WAP

Welcome to WSOP WAP (Wild Ass Predictions) I've thought long & hard spent nearly 15 whole minutes researching these predictions. I've run them through a scenario generator over and over. Compiled the data and decided to grace you gentle reader with my wild ass predictions.


The main event will be won by a Pro this year.

Doyle, Chan, & Binger will all pick up bracelets.

Helmuth will go braceletless.

Negranu will flounder. (hate to say that as he can read anyone in the game)

Erik Seidel will have one of the best WSOP's overall.

Annie Duke will complain incessantly about something being unfair (bad quality cards, poor lighting, ice is not cold enough etc. etc.) while the camera happens to be focused on her.

The number of Main event entrants will be less than 6700.

Jamie Gold will make a huge bluff (and get called quicker than you can say he-haw).

These past winners will bust out of the main event in this order
Moneymaker, Gold, Hachem, Raymer.

Make 'em pay

Minor leaguer traded for 10 baseball bats

By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer May 23, 7:51 pm EDT


McALLEN, Texas (AP)—During three years in the low minors, John Odom never really made a name for himself.

That sure changed this week—he’s the guy who was traded for a bunch of bats.

“I don’t really care,” he said Friday. “It’ll make a better story if I make it to the big leagues.”

For now, Odom is headed to the Laredo Broncos of the United League. They got him Tuesday from the Calgary Vipers of the Golden Baseball League for a most unlikely price: 10 Prairie Sticks Maple Bats, double-dipped black, 34-inch, C243 style.

“They just wanted some bats, good bats—maple bats,” Broncos general manager Jose Melendez said.

According to the Prairie Sticks Web site, their maple bats retail for $69 each, discounted to $65.50 for purchases of six to 11 bats.

“It will be interesting to see what 10 bats gets us,” Melendez said.

I really hope this kid gets it in line & turns into a all-star. Nothing better than being able to look back at something like this & give the offending party a proper salute.

Next up WSOPWAP (it will make sense soon)

It's really been a year already?

Stay tuned I'm going to have a few utterly absurd predictions for you in a few days...
